tozkaI’m luckily in a neighborhood where I can make a big circuit and visit 4-5 Little Free Libraries in about an hour’s walk. I’ve done two of those loops so far, and have gotten quite a few books! Some I’m planning on reading myself, and some I got just so move into other LFL later.
It’s a great area to walk around and explore, honestly. Even if I don’t find a book to take, it’s fun seeing the old buildings and the trees nearly bare of their leaves.
These are my logs for my 2 weeks so far in Denver!
New LFL visited
- LFL #12071 – Denver, CO
- LFL #12326 – Denver, CO
- LFL #26248 “Leftin’s Little Free Library” – Denver, CO
- LFL #49608 – Denver, CO
- LFL #119643 “Nancy’s Book Nook” – Denver, CO
Also found a few unofficial/un-chartered LFL book swap spots: an interesting dollhouse style (shown below), a bookshelf found in front of a house, and a community book exchange in the laundry room at my sit.
Dropped off: A Trip of One’s Own (picked up in [redacted location] LFL in September), Taking a Stand (picked up at UBS in Ann Arbor).
Added to my stash: An Urchin in the Storm; The Tomb of Zeus; American Sherlock: Murder, Forensics, and the Birth of American CSI; Walking My Dog Jane: From Valdez to Prudhoe Bay Along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline; Cheap Land Colorado: Off-Gridders at America’s Edge; Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup; Pioneer Days in the Catskill High Peaks: Tannersville and the Region Around; The Quokka Question.
Photos under the cut!

fandomweeklyTheme Prompt: #143 - nightmare (Amnesty 28)
Title: to finally find it (resurrections, track A)
Fandom: The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) - an AU in which Bowser is in the heroic role and the Mario Bros. are not, by way of a childhood swapping.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 (because of Bowser's potty mouth) + hesitant warning for Mario Movie Spoilers I Guess
Word Count: 934 words
Author's Note: Sorry Bowser, for the nightmare traumas. It's not exactly a companion piece to reminders, not what I intended lol, but ... the new Mario Movie trailer reminded me "oh maybe I should actually practice writing this guy full of the insecurities my main Bowser ignored", lol.
(The Slay the Princess inspiration for this one + fun little note as to what Bowser actually tried to play later on in the drabble.)
Summary: Bowser Rigassi is used to nightmares, that comes with the territory of being a freak of nature without anything of a past but his first name. But the nightmare he has this time is unusually hard-hitting..

ecto_one_spengler posting in fandomweeklyTheme Prompt: #014 - Time of Need (Amnesty 28)
Title: the princess and the dragon
Fandom: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (ft. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 (mmmmmostly because of injuries and Bowser's potty mouth)
Word Count: 995 words
Author's Note: I wrote most of this while listening to House M.D. lmao, I continue to appreciate that they slipped in what're considered childish stuff like House reading comics or referencing Pokemon or playing on a PSP he receives as a gift in one episode. It's unusually endearing to me haha.
Anyways this is another continuation, this time to "a dance unfinished"
(sidenote for some reason the ending fought with me, sowwy if it feels off)
PATCH NOTES: Alas, once again I have fucked up and posted minus the title as well as screwing up something in the fandom bits. Again. Sorry!
Summary: Fawful wakes up in a corrected timeline of sorts - his adventure in the future caught the attention of Peach and Bowser, both of whom end up discovering him in Peach's Castle.

tozkaLife Updates
Kind of a bleh week for blogging but enjoyable for living– relaxing and non-stressful, which is all that I want.
One thing of note: I realized I booked my flight from here to my next sit for the wrong day, but luckily I was able to cancel it and use the money towards a ticket for the correct day. I DID end up paying double what I originally did, which sucks, but at least I’ll get there on the right date now.
And it worked out okay anyway, money-wise, because the owner invited me to stay the night before she leaves, so I’ll save $100-something on a hotel! It all balances out in the end, really.
🐈 Curious orange kitty (codename Mr. B-Denver) has figured out how to open cabinets and got into the ones right above the fridge, which was hilarious! Luckily nothing important is up there. Overweight Siamese kitty (codename Ms. S-Denver) meanwhile has warmed up to me a lot and is now regularly sleeping next to me while I work on the computer. They not lap cats, which is kind of a bummer, but they do like to be in the same room as much as possible.

mific posting in fancakeFandom: due South
Characters/Pairings: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, Diefenbaker, Victoria
Rating: author's rating is ?NC-17 for angst and violent imagery. I'd rate it Mature.
Length: 9998
Content Notes: see rating note above. No AO3 warnings apply.
Creator Links: exeterlinden on AO3, exeterlinden on DW
Themes: Mystery and Suspense, Mythical Creatures: werewolves, Angst with a happy ending, Friends to lovers, AU: fork in the road
Summary: It appears on the fire escape one late evening in early winter, big and dark and silent.
Reccer's Notes: This gripping and spooky story starts with a different version of Fraser's chase and snowy huddling with Victoria, then segues into current (AU) canon with Ray Kowalski baffled by the big, black, mysterious, wolflike dog that intermittently appears on his fire escape, trying to get in, sometimes with Dief trying to chivvy it away. Also, Fraser's been distancing himself, and when he finds out about the dog's visits he's most unhappy. Things get weirder, and Fraser gets weirder, and then Victoria returns to push them all into crisis. The ending took me by surprise, and I liked it a lot! An excellent read.
