Book Recs: 10 Christmas-Themed Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books (3)

I'm back with more sci-fi/fantasy Christmas book recommendations! (And one Hanukkah book this time!) When I first started making these posts, I didn't think there were that many books out there, but it turns out there are actually A LOT. I am a mood reader, and last December, the mood to read SFF Christmas romances hit me strong, so I have a lot of those here. I also have a couple that aren't...

Visual Novel Review: Red Embrace Hollywood by Argent Games

Visual Novel Review: Red Embrace Hollywood by Argent Games

✨ One of my faves! ✨ Red Embrace: Hollywood is a thought-provoking, bittersweet, complex character-filled visual novel that explores some of the darker sides of vampirism and immortality. Play as a newly turned vampire in the midst of a faction war, choose a mentor/companion to show you the ropes, get to know other vampires and the ideals driving each faction, and make your decision about...

Quick Reviews: Catching Echoes // Tangled Echoes // Unleashing Echoes

For this quick review post, I have another complete series to review. This time the Reconstructionist series by Meghan Ciana Doidge. It's part of the Dowser series world, but it's probably possible to read just these if you want to. These books have my favorite character from the Dowser series as more of a main character. Anyway, here are my thoughts and links to the full...

Update: Life & Books (Oct 2021)

Happy Halloween! Even though I'm not actually doing anything to celebrate. It's just a normal Sunday for me. Last month I was telling everyone to watch Dragonheart (which you still should, if you haven't). This month I'm telling everyone to watch Sunshine (2007)! It was another rewatch, about 11 years since I'd last seen this one. It's such a fantastic sort of sci-fi thriller. It absolutely...
 
Poetry: Supernatural Creature Poems (3)

Poetry: Supernatural Creature Poems (3)

It's October, and that means I'm back with more supernatural creature poems! I didn't plan for this to become an annual thing, but I enjoy the little challenge of writing these poems. Last year's got a bit dark, so this year, I decided to focus on supernaturals being helpful, or at least neutral, toward humans. Quick reminder that, in each poem, if you read just the first word of each line, it...
