Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (6) – In Which I Gush about The Darkness Outside Us

Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (6) – In Which I Gush about The Darkness Outside Us

Normally for these posts, I do three different books and pick one song for each. This time I'm doing three songs for the same book! Because it's an amazing book and the absolute perfect kind of book to pair songs with. At least for me, because the reason books and songs go so well together is that they both make me feel, and, well, this book made me feel A LOT. I won't be able to explain all...

Update: Life and Books (Aug 2022)

I’ve had a very hard time focusing on anything lately, so I haven’t done much. I think I’ve mostly watched YouTube. I did a little gaming though! I started a new Sims 3 game with sexy cowboys. It probably won’t hold my attention long, but I’m having fun with the horses and chicken coops and...

Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (5)

I really meant to do some actual, thinky discussions this year, but I've been exhausted lately, and those kinds of discussions take a lot of energy. So you're getting more music match-ups! It's getting harder and harder to think of intros for these posts. How many times can I talk about how well books and songs go together?? I feel like I might've already reached that limit. So here, just have...

Update: Life and Books (Nov 2021)

I can't believe I have to think of yet another intro. I don't do anything, this is too hard! Quick reminder, if you're doing any holiday shopping online, I have affiliate/referral links, and it helps me make a small bit of money or get my own free trials/books/etc. if you use them, at no additional cost to you! As for what I actually did this month... I started and finished playing Milky...

Update: Life and Books (Sep 2021)

I truly do not know how to start these posts anymore. September is over? October is starting? Hello, welcome, I’ve survived another month, and I’m glad you have too?? I’ve been jumping around between a lot of games lately, most of which have not been good for my head/eye problem, but sometimes I just need...

Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (4) – The Simon Snow + FUN. Edition

As you might already know, if you've visited before, I love pairing books and music! Which is why I do these posts. But this one is a bit unique in that I chose three books from the same series and three songs from the same artist. The same artist thing actually wasn't intentional, or at least, not my original plan. But it just so happened that the three FUN. songs I know all seemed perfect, so I...

Update: Life and Books (Aug 2021)

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...

Update: Life and Books (July 2021)

I'm not sure what I did in July. Not much, to be honest. I bought a few games in the Steam sale that I thought might be accessible with some sort of TTS only to find most of them weren't, so I returned one. Kept one because it was 50% off and a game I'd wanted for a long time. One was partially accessible and only a couple dollars, so I kept it too. And the last was also only a few dollars and...

Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (3)

Yep, it's another book and song match-up post! What can I say? I like doing these. Books and music go great together. They've both got the meanings and the feels and the vibes. Once again, I happen to think these are all great books and great songs! The first song is a bit older, I have memories of it from when I was about sixteen. I really wanna use more songs that aren't super recent in...

Update: Life and Books (Mar 2021) + I Finally Made Some Art!

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...
