I like doing these opening lines posts. I never remember what the opening lines of books are, so it's always interesting to go back and see them. Also interesting to see the variety they have. I tend to choose books pretty randomly and just see what I get, so these aren't the ones I think are good or bad or anything, they just are. (Though I do like to choose a favorite, because why not?) As I...
Here we are, the last blog post of the year! It might be the new year by the time you're reading this, but still, it's my last 2023 post, and I guess I saved the best for last?

Gwen and Arthur (not that Gwen and Arthur, just named for them) are betrothed, but Gwen likes girls, Arthur likes boys, and they both dislike each other. But when they discover this common ground, they realize they might be able to be friends and not be as miserable as they...
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.
