Update: Life and Books (Mar 2025)

I'm gonna be honest, things aren't going great for me right now. I try not to get too down on my blog because over time I've shifted into being less personal about my life and more semi-professional and focused on books and whatever else. Especially when my personal stuff is so complicated and depressing. But ultimately I am not a company churning out content, I'm a person. (A person who might...
 
Book Review: Dauntless Summer (Harmony of Seasons Book 2) by Emmaline Strange [Audiobook]

Book Review: Dauntless Summer (Harmony of Seasons Book 2) by Emmaline Strange [Audiobook]

Cosmo was content to spend his summers mingling with humans and doing his godly duties, so he's not happy when he wakes this year to find his brother is there and wants him to help cure their 400-year-long curse. But he reluctantly agrees and sets out with the prince's guard, Leofric, and despite the way they are constantly getting on each others' nerves, they find themselves growing...
 
Cover Love: Book Covers with Spring Vibes

Cover Love: Book Covers with Spring Vibes

I realized that I didn't do a single cover love post in 2024, aside from the end of the year one, so one of these is long overdue! My last one was about fall vibes, so why not spring this time? I know it's not quite spring yet, but this was all I could think of, and it feels too late for winter-themed posts. I might regret this next month when I have no post ideas, but oh well, doing it...

Update: Life and Books (Jan 2025)

I've decided I'm going to focus on positive things for this month's update. So first I have some art! I made fanart for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. It started in December 2023 when someone posted on Reddit like, "I've never played, but this subreddit keeps showing up on my feed. Ask me about the game, and I'll pretend I know." Someone asked who Noctilucent should end up with, the person answered...
 
Book Recs: 10 Queer Christmas-Themed Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books (2)

Book Recs: 10 Queer Christmas-Themed Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books (2)

It's been a couple years since I did a Christmas books recommendation post. To be honest, I didn't read any Christmas books last year. But they can be lovely when you're in the right mood, especially in December! So I've finally found some more books for people to enjoy. Specifically queer ones, even though all my holiday lists have at least some queer books. I haven't read most of these, so...
 
Update: Life and Books (Aug 2023) + I Drew a Thing

Update: Life and Books (Aug 2023) + I Drew a Thing

I always feel like I should announce it in the title when I make art because it happens so rarely, but I'm not that enthused about this one, so it felt weird to draw attention to... Anyway, I played some more games. I mentioned giving up on Brookhaven Grimoire last time, but I went back to it and ended up finishing the game. There was a frustrating lack of guidance for the player, but I loved...
 
Update: Life and Books (Dec 2022) + Final Art of the Year

Update: Life and Books (Dec 2022) + Final Art of the Year

I made art! I have to excitedly announce it every time because it happens so rarely anymore. Last year I drew Rudolph the reindeer centaur, so this year I drew Cupid. He has albinism, which is why his hair, brows, lashes, skin, fur, hooves, and antlers are all light. I couldn't find a definitive answer on whether albino reindeer have lighter antlers though. I might still work on it some more, but...
