Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (7) – The Villain Edition

Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (7) – The Villain Edition

I didn't used to do themes for these posts, but I guess I do now? I had one specific match-up in mind for a villain, and I thought it'd be fun to make it a whole post. Also, these are such great songs, and I never get a chance to use them. So villains it is! Unfortunately I only have two things here, even though I usually have three. I'll be honest, I forgot I needed a blog post, so it's late,...
 
Bookish News: 10 Queer SFF Books I’m Excited For in 2024 (Part 1)

Bookish News: 10 Queer SFF Books I’m Excited For in 2024 (Part 1)

Guess what's back... back... back... Back again... 'gain... 'gain... It's queer sci-fi/fantasy books I'm excited for! That's what's back back back! I'm doing two parts again because I'll stick to books releasing in the first half of the year now and do another one of these halfway through the year. I'm also sticking to standalones or new series. So many great-sounding books coming out...

Update: Life and Books (Dec 2023) + One Last Art

I feel like I'm supposed to start this post by saying, "Happy New Year!" but that would feel disingenuous. This year isn't going to be any happier for me than the last one was. But this post isn't about the new year, so ha. Take that, 2024! It's about what I did in December. And one of the things I did was make art! And I'm so happy with how it came out. Seriously, this is what I was...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2023

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2023

It's actually become increasingly harder for me over the years to choose favorite characters from books because I don't really have favorites the way I used to. Which is not an insult to authors, they are still writing great characters! But it's more that I love the way they fit into their stories and the dynamics they have with other characters. I guess, I'm finding it harder now to separate...
 
Bookish Musings: What Makes a Christmas Book?

Bookish Musings: What Makes a Christmas Book?

Normally I do recommendation posts with SFF Christmas books once December rolls around, but I'm not really feeling up to putting one of those together. (You can check out my previous posts, if you want some recs!) So I thought, maybe a little discussion instead? I've read quite a few supposed Christmas books, but some of them have definitely felt more Christmas than others. Anyway, the categories...

Update: Life and Books (Nov 2023)

November. Another month gone by in which I've mostly just played games (well, mostly one game) when I felt up to doing things with my brain (and my body, sometimes even moving my hand takes too much energy). I got back into Sun Haven after taking a few month's break! They've had two big updates since I last played, and I've been having a lot of fun again. They made my favorite NPC romanceable!...
