Update: Life and Books (Feb 2026)

I'm sorry everyone that I did not post anything in the past month. My blog was having issues, so I've been turning plugins off and on, installing new ones, testing things, and I didn't want new posts to add another variable. Anyway, I think the problem was bots, but I'm still working my way through plugins in case. I've finally taken the maintenance banner down, as long as things keep working,...

Update: Life and Books (Jan 2026)

Good work everyone, we've made it through another month! To be honest, I don't even know what I did in January. Survived? I played some Palia, but even that has slowed up. I tried playing Sable, but I think I'm giving up because the movement is too slow and clunky for me, making the exploration not fun. Technically I think this was in February, but I also played a bit of Rollercoaster Tycoon,...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2025 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2025 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

I read fewer books this year than I have probably since I started blogging ten years ago, so there's actually not ten books here. That felt like too many, and there were only six books that I rated 4.5 or 5 stars. Two of which are a duology and three of which were rereads (though I do still count rereads because if a book was that great more than once, it deserves recognition more than once). I...

Update: Life and Books (July 2025)

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...

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...

Update: Life and Books (Feb 2025)

I didn't do much of anything this month, but I guess I can scrounge up a few things to talk about. I watched Onward, the Pixar(?) movie. It made me cry! I feel like I've never seen anyone talk about this movie? I don't remember seeing previews or anything. I had no idea it even existed. But it was so touching and sweet. A very cute brother relationship. Also, for anyone who's seen it (has...

Update: Life and Books (Dec 2024)

Happy new year, I guess? For me it's just new year, same problems. But this post is about 2024 still! Not that I have much to say. I didn't do anything for the holidays, so I had a standard month. Worried about health things that there just is no solution for. At least, not with this country and the healthcare system and my living situation being what it is. I made some art though! Nothing...

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2024 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

This list is maybe a little different than usual because it only has six new books, and the other four are rereads. Turns out I did more rereading this year than I thought! But I feel like any book good enough to make me love it multiple times deserves to be praised multiple times, and these were my genuine ten favorite books this year. So without further ado, here they are, plus a few...

Update: Life and Books (Nov 2024)

I forgot last weekend that I was supposed to do an update post, but it worked out alright, I got my Christmas recs post out early in the month. But then I also forgot all week to make this post, so I'm making it after midnight when it's already supposed to be...
