My new blog home?
This review contains vague spoilers! I normally read books in the 300-450 page range, as I feel like this is where I'm most comfortable. Once I start getting to around 350 pages, I get a little angsty waiting for the wrap-up. I like the satisfaction of ending a story, saying I've completed a book, and getting the conclusion. But I wish that I had the patience to read longer books. I found King…
Something more casual I want to try. Just making notes as I'm reading various books since I'm reading multiple books at once. Expect spoilers for these posts , as it has my thoughts as I'm going. The Enchanted Garden I didn't really notice this in the first book but the MC (Terlu) seems to contradict herself a lot? Or the author clarifies something in a way where it feels like a contradiction?…
This last December was hard. It was easily one of the worst months of my life, and one that I'll always remember. Without getting into it, I needed something to distract myself from what had happened, and ended up looking over my bookshelf. I wasn't in the mood for anything on it, though; my usual reading preferences just weren't good choices for this time. My mom must have sensed exactly that…
The main hobby I guess I've been keeping up with in the past year has been reading, so I feel like just talking about it a bit 1 . Last year I made a goal to read through more of the books I already own, and tried to buy as few books as possible. I ended up falling off of reading mid-year, which was fine - we sold our house last year and bought a new one, so I was very busy. I got back into…
I thought this might be fun to sum up, my top three best and worst books for the year. I probably have enough to do top fives but I don't know how interesting that would be. Some of these I wrote blog posts about, and others I started writing posts but then fell off and never finished them. So now I get to do a quick summary for some I wanted to talk about but don't feel like going back and…
This is going to be a bit of a spitball post, which I think I'd like to do. I keep writing up some posts, losing interest, and hen not posting anything. So here's something much more casual to get me to post a bit more and care a bit less. Playing World of Warcraft Classic (anniversary servers) like I said in a previous post. Dane and I hit level 60 on my priest and his warrior. He's thinking of…
I haven't talked about Flight Rising here yet, though I'd say it's my main hobby right now when I have free time. If you aren't familiar, it's a browser pet game. Think Neopets, but without the Flash games and every pet you can own is a dragon, with more... detailed? artwork. I feel like people describe it as a petsite for adults, but honestly if you look at the forums, there's a lot of kids on…
Life has been pretty shit lately. I have some time off due to the holidays but also for some tremendous shit that happened in my life, that I won't go into here. But I'm in a lot of pain right now, physical and mental, and trying to keep my mind off of things. So to distract myself, we've been playing a bit of World of Wacraft (vanilla/Classic.) They're prepping to re-release Burning Crusade early…
So I wanted to make another post about Monster Hunter Wilds and its performance issues. I'm always surprised when I go to the Steam page and see it's mostly negative reviews - but only for a moment, before remembering what a hassle it was for me to get it working properly myself. Recently I was having problems again with it, and after playing with the settings for a while, I found a PC performance…
Long time no post! I've been busy the last few months, and coming back onto here and seeing my most recent posts are left in drafts, I'm realizing I've been gone longer than I thought, haha. I won't go too deep into details since this is my hobby blog and not as much a personal blog, but the big change is my fiance and I bought a house together and moved. Things are sort of settling down now (only…
