New year, same old everything else? For me, at least. I don't really have any news to report. I sent my sims on another vacation, since there was a Sims 4 Snowy Escape free trial. Unlike their Island Living vacation which was pretty chill, this one was full of snowboarding, skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing. But my sims are active sims, so they had an absolute blast. Every time a new Sims...

There are so many amazing-sounding queer sci-fi/fantasy books releasing this year! It was hard for me to choose just ten for this post, but making these kinds of blog posts is a lot of work, so I had to make a limit for my own sake. Sharing excitement is fun though!

I also rarely talk about my bookshelf, so this seemed like a fun chance to do...
