Well, September was a month. And it's over now! I never know how to start these posts anymore. I call these "Life and Books," but as it turns out, life is usually either too boring to be worth talking about or too complicated to want to talk about, and I pretty much just talk about books, games, music, podcasts, and movies/shows instead. Speaking of which... I found this really cool cover of...
![Book Review: Lost and Bound (Mismatched Mates Book 4) by Eliot Grayson [Audiobook]](https://metaphorsandmoonlight.com/wp-content/uploads/Book-Review-Lost-and-Bound-Mismatched-Mates-Book-4-by-Eliot-Grayson-255x255.jpg)
Jared, wolf shifter from the Armitage pack, was captured and has spent years being tortured and experimented on, until he's tossed into a cell with a bigger, scarier shifter---who has an appetite for blood that will eventually take over. Instead, they work together to escape, but now they're mated to each other, maybe even falling for each other, and aren't sure what to do...
Well, the world is still crumbling, so let's temporarily pretend it's not and talk about some good things! I played some more games! They're a good distraction. I mostly played Townscaper. It's been my go-to lately because it doesn't require a lot of focus but is still fun and lets me be creative. I've been sharing my builds on Twitter, so check there if you want to see them all! I also played...

Newt, a professor and scientist, gets threatened into furthering his research on stimulating latent shifter genes quickly and so enlists his best friend, an alpha shifter, to help---by having sex. But as experiments progress, he starts to realize he may actually be enjoying...
Happy New Year, everyone! I don't know why I said that with so much enthusiasm. I don't actually feel enthusiastic about it. But it's still a new year, regardless of how I feel, so *shrug* I managed to squeeze in one last finished art piece though, and I am enthusiastic about that! It's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Centaur! (His nose gets cold.) (Also technically he's a cervitaur.) I'm...

Arik is currently the prisoner of the Armitage pack, after helping their enemies in the first book, and the love spell he has on their alpha, Matthew, is his only leverage. But the more time he and Matthew spend together, the more real feelings start to develop, complicating...
Another month, another monthly post in which I have to figure out what to talk about. I played some of the games I bought in the Steam sale last month! The Starfighter: Eclipse game, the one I'd wanted for a long time, was unfortunately a disappointment. Monster Hunting... for Love was fun though. I also played a bunch of very quick, free games by npckc on itch.io. They were cute, and my...
So it appears we've made it through March? I've been pushing myself too hard because I need the mental distraction, but that means a lot of headaches, and I banged my bad foot against something, and I temporarily hurt my arm (though it seems back to usual tennis elbow pain now), so not my best month. But I made some art! Something I have not done for almost a year. And I really, really love...

When Eliot gets kidnapped and escapes halfway through a spell, the only way to finish it and keep it from killing him is to finish the mating bond with a pack alpha. He's saved by Ian, a werewolf he's pretty sure hates him, and they end up mated and working together to thwart a rival pack's...
This post is going up on November 1st, and the US presidential election is the 3rd (though apparently there's going to be a delay for results). So depending on when you see this, I'm either very worried, very upset, or very relieved. Well, moderately relieved, at least. Fingers crossed, everybody. Now, what did I do in October? I watched (well, mostly listened to, thank you Netflix for the...
