Sophie Turner Is Your New Tomb Raider

Sophie Turner has reportedly landed the title role in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Tomb Raider series for Amazon. I hope to God that Turner’s team is ready for how weird things are going to get. Let’s just say gamer chuds have not been chill by any means when it comes to changes to Lara Croft that deviate from the gigantor jugs of yore. It’s gonna get real gross, real fast. But besides that, good for Sophie. She’s clearly thriving, and I couldn’t tell you what the hell Joe Jonas has been up to if you put a gun to my head. Let’s keep it that way. (Variety)

Faintingviolet heard a lot of hype for Danica Nava’s The Truth According to Ember and was pleased that she enjoyed it when she got it from her library. “Once you read the author’s note this is obviously a write what you know scenario, which gives the story a lived-in, highly detailed reality that can often only come through from having been in the scenarios.” Which books have recently lived up to the hype?
