When I'm looking at profile photos on dating sites and I instantly see years of time passing in just seconds as I scroll down the page

Some days I feel like Raistlin Majere from the Dragonlance books

I te wa e tirohia ana e au nga whakaahua profaile i nga paetukutuku whakatūpato, ka kite au i nga tau e pahemo ana i roto i nga hēkona i te wa e pātea ana au i te whārangi

I etahi ra ka penei ahau me Raistlin Majere mai i nga pukapuka Dragonlance

They really just be naming their characters anything in fantasy books😂

Ka tino pēnā te ingoa o ā rātou tohu i ngā pukapuka pakiwaituhi😂

These are the emblems for the elements that exist in my story, These are not all the elements, but these are the ones I could think of when I drew them there’s probably more that I could create

Ko ēnei ngā tohu mō ngā āhuarangi e noho ana i taku kōrero, Kāore ēnei e kī ana ko ngā āhuarangi katoa, engari ko ēnei ngā mea i taea e au te whakaaro ki te wā i tuhia e au, tērā pea he nui ake e taea e au te hanga.

I’ll go first! Terry Pratchett’s “Small Gods”. I don’t think I have ever read anything as equally funny as it is thought provoking and poignant.

A book you think is a classic that nobody seems to have read

Ka tīmata au! “Small Gods” nā Terry Pratchett. Kāore au e whakaaro he pukapuka i pātea mai i te mea he tino pārekareka, he mea whakaaro hoki, he mea pouri.

He pukapuka e whakaaro ana koe he tino pai, kāore e mōhiotia e te katoa

These are the different sub-races the humanoid dragon folk in my story. The top 3 are the 3 Wyveraq variants and below from left to right are the Hyraq, Wyraq and the Basilraq

The Githraq

Ko enei nga momo rahi rahi e toru o nga tangata tarakona i roto i taku korero. Ko nga rahi e toru kei runga ko nga momo e toru o te Wyveraq, a kei raro mai i te taha mauī ki te taha matau ko te Hyraq, te Wyraq me te Basilraq

Te Githraq

These are the different physical traits of each sub-race of the Githraq

Ko ēnei ngā āhuatanga tinana rerekē o ia iwi iti o te Githraq

Tūtohutanga

I just finished reading (listening to) The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. I thought it was excellent! A really fun adventure which had some excellent worldbuilding and cool characters. I do have some minor criticisms. The twist is fairly easy to see coming and it being a large ensemble cast with similar named characters makes it a tiny bit confusing. But it seems like it's going to be a series and so definitely worth a read!

Also this is a spoiler so don't read beyond here if you care.

When the jack o' all trades dies I didn't really care because her character barely gets developed. So much so that I can't remember her name even. The vampire also basically only gets used in very contrived circumstances and although both are entertaining they probably didn't need to be there.

Recently finished reading

Kua mutu au i te pānui (te whakarongo ki) The Devils nā Joe Abercrombie. I whakaaro au he tino pai! He onga rēhia tino pai e whai ana i ngā ao hanga pai me ngā tangata tino pai. He mea iti āku whakapae. He māmā te kite i te huringa, ā, ko te mea he rōpū nui o ngā kaiwhakaari me ngā ingoa pēnei ka pātea te raru iti. Engari, e mōhio ana ahau ka noho hei raupapa, nō reira he tino pai hei pānui!

He mea pāpāho hoki tēnei, nō reira kaua e pānui i muri mai i konei mēnā e āta whakaaro ana koe.

I te wā e mate ana te jack o' all trades, kāore au i tino pānui, nā te mea kāore i tino whakawhanakehia tōna tangata. I te mea he nui te pānui, kāore au e taea te maumahara ki tōna ingoa. Ko te vampire hoki, kāore e whakamahia i ngā āhuatanga tino raru, ā, ahakoa e pārekareka ana, kāore pea e tika ana ki reira.

Kua mutu te pānui

Introducing my version of the seven deadly sins, each of them represent a Different vice, I bet you can’t guess which ones which though. 

The images are in the order they were introduced in the story

The 7 Pernicious Vices

E whakaatu ana i taku putanga o ngā hē mate e whitu, e tohu ana ia ki te hē rerekē, e whakapono ana ahau kāore e taea e koe te whakatau ko wai te hē.

Sometimes I wish there‘s some place I could go to just to escape life for a little while whenever I’m bored or just tired of it. There’s no such thing but “BOOKS” do get me there. Playing different book characters and going places, living a different life all in my mind. It’s crazy beautiful!

Can’t go wrong with books

I etahi wa ka hiahia au ki tetahi wahi ka taea e au te haere ki te pahemo i te ao mo te wa iti i nga wa katoa ka tino pākiki au, ka ngenge hoki. Kaore he mea pērā, engari ko nga "PUKAPUKA" ka kawe mai au ki reira. Te takaro i nga momo tangata pukapuka me te haere ki nga wahi, te noho i tetahi atu ao i roto i taku hinengaro. He tino ataahua te raru!

Kaore e taea te he ki nga pukapuka

I decided to start collecting all the Oz books.. so far I've gotten book 2 and 4 on the way and will probably get the og Wonderful Wizard of Oz and book 3 with my next paycheck.

I think I'm gonna collect the first 14 that Frank baum did and then decide if I wanna go for the full "famous 40" and get the other 26 books as well😶 I'll post more as they come ^0^

Vintage Oz

I whakatau ahau ki te tiimata ki te kohikohi i nga pukapuka Oz katoa.. i tenei wa kua riro i ahau te pukapuka 2 me te 4 e haere ana, a, ka taea e au te tiki i te og Wonderful Wizard of Oz me te pukapuka 3 me taku utu i muri mai.

Ka whakaaro ahau ki te kohikohi i nga 14 tuatahi i mahi a Frank Baum, ka whakatau ka hiahia au ki te haere mo te "famous 40" katoa, ka tiki hoki i nga pukapuka 26 atu😶 Ka tukuna e au etahi atu i te wa e tae mai ana ^0^

Ko ia anake ahau lol🥴

So, I recently found a book on Web novel. Its called The Lout/Trash of the Count's Family. Depending on where you you are it will translate into either The Lout of the Count's Family or Trash of the Count's Family. And they have recently turned it into a manwah/manga.
Has anyone else read or heard about it?

New book

Nō reira, i kitea e au he pukapuka i runga i te Web novel. Ko te ingoa he The Lout/Trash of the Count's Family. I runga i te wāhi e noho ana koe, ka pānuitia hei The Lout of the Count's Family, hei Trash of the Count's Family. Ā, kua huri kē rātou i tēnei ki te manwah/manga.
Kua pānuitia, kua rongo kē te tangata kē?

Pukapuka hou
