My favorite books of the year! Who doesn't love talking about books they loved? Some of these were ones I'd been looking forward to, and they didn't disappoint. Some were sort of spontaneous reads. Some I didn't really know if they'd be my kinda book, but they surprised me in the best way. So here, in no particular order, are my top ten(ish) reads of 2022, plus a few other things I...

Time to talk about characters! I included technically more than ten, since I chose multiple characters from some books, as I sometimes do, but I'm sure you all don't mind. And I've run out of things to say in these intros, so here are my favorite characters of...
Is it just me, or are book covers getting better? I have SO many this year. These aren't in any order. I tried to group them together by similar art styles or color, just for a nice aesthetic. And I chose a few to talk about, but I couldn't talk about them all because I'd just be repeating how pretty everything is a million times. And most of them aren't just great art, they're also great text...

The only problem is that Christmas faeries can't stay among humans, and Coal doesn't want to leave...
I didn't do one of these posts last year because I didn't play enough games, but I played a lot this year, and so many of them were fantastic! There were even more great games that didn't make my list, but I managed to make myself stop at ten. So in no particular order, except the last two, here they...
When Jonathan is spelled to grant the Christmas wishes of people around town, Forrest offers to help. Jonathan mostly finds Forrest insufferable, except for the part of him that has a secret crush on the man, but Forrest isn't the relationship type, and Jonathan isn't ready to have his heart broken...
In a world of animal people, Komazu (a sparrow) is terrified of snakes and is surprised when one saves his life. Shirato fights against his nature because he doesn't want to eat anyone, and the two of them start falling for each other, despite knowing it's probably a bad...
Weird West (sci-fi and fantasy books set in the Old West or worlds inspired by it) is a genre I never expected to like, considering I've never had interest in westerns when it comes to movies or shows. But I do like feeling immersed in historical settings, and I like paranormals and magic, so here we are! These are more fantasy and paranormal than sci-fi, but I tried to get some variety in...
Dali has been on bereavement leave from work, but when other third gender changelings start disappearing, they get recruited by a secret organization to help save the missing people by going undercover on an alien ship.
