Ok, let's see. What happened in July that's actually worth talking about? I missed my blogiversary! My ten year blogiversary! So I will do a post for that this month, maybe next weekend. I watched Strange World, the Disney/Pixar/whatever movie. I liked it! I loved the visuals of the whole, well, strange world. And it was a cute story. Still playing BG3, though honestly, even that has...
It's the second half of the year, and that means it's time to talk about more queer sci-fi/fantasy books I'm excited for! There's never a shortage of great sounding books coming out, is there? At least, these all sound great to me, and hopefully you'll still find something you're excited for too! (A few might already have released recently, but that's ok, just means we get to read them...

Another month without much non-bookish stuff to talk about. Still playing Baldur's Gate 3, believe it or not, when I feel up to it and need a break from doom and gloom. I also played Blood Bar Tycoon, which I actually reviewed! First proper game review in a while. Here, have some pictures... I also stubbed my pinky...
Blood Bar Tycoon is a simple and silly bar management sim in which you run bars that cater to both humans and vampires. Build, decorate, order supplies, capture humans, kill investigators---you know, the usual bar management...
Blogging has been difficult for me lately, I haven't done much more than reviews and monthly updates, so here I am to humbly present to you all a cover love post! It's summer now, so let's all enjoy some summery book covers. I feel like there are a ton of books out there with very tropical, poolside, summery covers, but those are usually not sci-fi/fantasy, which is what I focus on here. You...

This was my worst reading and blogging month in a long time. I only read three books and made two posts. I didn't even do a discussion post, even though I'd wanted to do at least one of those each month. I've just been trying to figure out how to fix some of the problems in my life, trying to get help I need, etc., but I still have nothing to show for it except more exhaustion and probably liver...
