I'm here to talk about books, video games, and sometimes movies & TV. I like stories that make me feel things. RPG & branching narrative games, fantasy & YA books but I'm open to most genres. I also own a bookstore in MI. 💙📚🎮

Characters falling in ice or grease in BG3 never stops being funny. It's a full cartoon banana peel slip every time. 🎮

Well, I have reached a new level in my descent into fandom and have started reading Baldur's Gate fanfiction. RIP my social life...

My @thestorygraph.com wrap up for June! I read some good books last month! Winter's Orbit was the biggest surprise and I've just started Ocean's Echo and I'm even more hooked. Let's see your yours!

With democracy in jeopardy in the United States, the role of the writer has never been more clear. Our words are more powerful than weapons.

Okay #BaldursGate3 is too smart. When I fought Minthara I specifically used non-lethal damage on her but killed her minions. I'm in chapter 2 now, and she just asked me why. There's no option to say "because I was metagaming."

I forgot to post my May @thestorygraph.com wrap up! Just two books finished last month, but I am loving the Murderbot Diaries, and How to Be an Antiracist was extremely enlightening. What about the rest of you?

It hurts to think that people are actually going to watch that new HP show. Please, please stop giving her money.
So many people these days are afraid to stand up for trans folks... Not this gentleman. 🙌🙏💪👏👊👇

Okay #BaldursGate, but too high? For a cat? Immersion broken.

Alright BG3 friends. What are your favorite mods for the game? Preferably console-compatible. 🎮

Morning BlueSky! How was your weekend?

I got some time to start a game of BG3 with @studiotembo.com now that console/PC crossplay is available!

I also started book 4 of the Murderbot Diaries and I'm looking forward to the show!

I know The Last of Us part 2 didn't hit for everyone, but this right here is one of the reasons I feel the way I do about it. The passion and emotional investment of the voice actors is seared into my heart. 🎮🖤

Warning: if you've only watched the show, STOP at 13:00.

“someone will cry over you forever. someone will beg for you to come back.”

I often have this for the sections I used to maintain at Borders. I can remember approximately where in the sci-fi/fantasy section a book or series used to appear.

My most vivid dreams also usually take place at the Arborland Borders. I worked there for many of my most formative adult years.

The library I went to as a kid is basically a memory palace for me. Like "Okay, Alexander at the bottom of the first shelf. Blume didn't write fantasy, but there was someone else I liked before I got to Coville... Dark is Rising? Who wrote that? Oh, Cooper, that makes sense!"
