Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite SFF Creatures

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and today's Top 5 Wednesday prompt is about creatures from some of my favorite genres: science-fiction and fantasy!

This Wednesday's post is going to be shorter, mainly because I have no idea how I would elaborate on my answers. Don't worry though, because I've seen the prompt for next Wednesday and I can guarantee that post will be much longer!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Dragons
If you don't think that dragons are cool, then you are wrong. Dragons are amazing (especially those named Toothless), and please do not spoil How To Train Your Dragon 3 for me because I still haven't seen it!

2. Phoenixes 
Phoenixes are gorgeous creatures that are full of heavy symbolism. The main reason that they're on this list, however, is simple: who doesn't want a bird that's on fire?

3. Mermaids
I've always loved the water, and I wanted to be a mermaid so badly when I was younger! I could be friends with dolphins, live under the sea, and I could live off of shrimp! Doesn't that seem ideal?

4. The Cows from Gemina
I'm saying that this counts, because 1) they're creatures in a science-fiction story and 2) because these cows produce a special kind of drug. Also, I've almost run out of ideas.

5. Thestrals from Harry Potter
Having horses that you can only see if you've watched someone die is hardcore, valid, and I appreciate it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that, my friends, is my post about the best SFF creatures! Like I said, I realize it's short, but make sure to tune in to next weeks because some of my answers might surprise you!

Have a great day!

A Guide to Anti-Racist Resources | #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname

Hi everyone. Welcome to Nox the Reader, and today I'm sharing a compiled list of different anti-racist resources that I've seen shared on Bookstagram and Twitter. Please note: THIS LIST IS EVER-EVOLVING AND EXPANDING. AS I GATHER MORE INFORMATION, I WILL BE ADDING IT TO THIS GUIDE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD, PLEASE DM ME ON TWITTER @nox_reads, OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW. Before I share this list, all I want to say is that I'm mad as hell and I'm tired. My dad always shared stories about living in Inglewood in the 90s during the time of Rodney King and the LA Riots. And it's almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. I've grown up surrounded by names as hashtags and videos cycled through the media and it's infuriating  and heartbreaking and exhausting . And a lot of us are wondering what to do, how to break this system and burn it to the ground. And it starts with educating ourselves and uplifting the voices of others. In this list are book...

Neil Gaiman's Stardust is the Best Kind of Ridiculous | Book Ramble

Welcome to Nox the Reader, I'm Nox, and I really  want to talk about Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which I feel is a give me ALL the merch! "Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel." Some of you may remember the movie Stardust from 2007, which for some reason gets lost in my memory alongside the boring, terrible, why did I ever watch that movie adaptation of The Golden Compass. Gramps was flipping through the movie channels a few weeks ago and we caught the last thirty minutes of this movie that I had a vague recollection of, and I absolutely loved  those last thirty minutes (which had a lot to do with the overall quality and Claire Danes' speech at the end but also so  much to do with Tristan being played by a young Daredevil...) . So naturally, I had to pick up the book! Stardust was a bit of a ride for me. It's a short read, a bit more than 200 pages, and it starts off heavily with exposition surrounding the town of Wall a...

Book Trigger Warnings Wiki | Community Resource

Hey everyone! Welcome to Nox the Reader, I'm "Nox", and today I'm sharing an awesome community resource that my friends Jenny and Rob made: the Book Trigger Warnings Wikia! Jenny and Rob officially launched the website last Thursday, and the way it's set up is amazing! This is going to be a graphic-heavy post because I want to show y'all how easy it is to use. Anyone can view and explore the wiki, but in order to edit and add the triggers, you have to create an account. I'm not kidding when I say it took me less than a minute to set one up! You click where it says Anonymous in the top right corner, click Create Account, and you make a username and password! That's it! I love this idea because some of us have triggers that are oftentimes overlooked by others. If you're worried that a trigger won't be included, there's nothing better than including it yourself! If a book you've read isn't already on the wiki, you can create a pa...
