January & February 2020 Wrap-Up: Begone, Cursed Months! (Feat. Pretty Lights)

Happy March, everyone! These past two months felt overly short and dragged out at the same time. And I'm torn between wanting to re-do them or wanting to stuff them into a burlap sack filled with rocks and hurl them into the nearest lake. I ended up re-reading a lot of old comfort books, partly …

July Wrap-Up: Family News, Red & Blue is the New Black

I feel like a lot of my personal posts lately have just been me going, "I'm a sad little bundle of sadness!" And, well....the same applies today (I promise a LOT more flowers and rainbows for the next one). But I'll try to keep it brief this time. To put it shortly, my grandmother passed …

October 2018 Wrap-Up – Book Things & Art as a Double-Edged Sword

It's the middle of the month...and you know what that means! 😀 So, I was going to include mini reviews for some of the games I played in the past month because Nicole @ Thoughts Stained With Ink was like, "Heck yeah! You should totally do that!" But the post was getting kinda long and …

September 2018 Wrap-Up & October TBR Update

Yes, we're now in the latter half of October. Yes, these are getting later and later. I'm starting to suspect that a part of me likes posting these late. The contrary part, that is. The responsible part has packed its bags, donned a Hawaiian shirt, and put up a sign saying "Gone on (Indefinite) Vacation." …

August 2018 Wrap Up – It’s Not You, Scifi, It’s Me…But It’s Also Kind of You

So mental-health wise, life has been a veritable mess from July to August. After a trip to the emergency room, days of yelling and apologizing, and talking to from doctors, things are now marginally better. I've been throwing myself into art which has been helping quite a bit. And while it feels like I'm creeping …

June 2018 Wrap-Up

So today is supposed to be a Diversity Spotlight Thursday post day (say that five times), but it's been a stupefyingly busy week, what with Canada Day weekend and work stuff, which led to me completely losing track of time. Confession time: I write the majority of my posts the day before they're to be …

May 2018 Wrap-Up

Didn't I just do one of these posts last week? I swear, time is going by faster and faster. Early to mid-May was a whirlwind of mental health issues and emergency hospital visits, so I'm kind of surprised that I still managed to squeeze in 11 books. So let's dive right in: ➽ Shirewode (The …

April Wrap Up – Books, Games, and Ninja TED

I finally got around to doing a monthly wrap-up. I read 10 books (and short stories) this month, which wasn't as many as I'd hoped, but still not too shabby! Novels and Graphic Novels: From Unseen Fire by Cass Morris (5/10): This was a bit of a disappointment. I couldn't connect with the characters and …
