Books and music all day, every day
Reading while drinking #Delirium is perhaps not the most practical. Since the 1st one was so good, and my brain was still working after, I went for a 2nd soon after & it hit like a ton of bricks- #Belgians don't mess around. Also, book isn't exactly exhilarating to be fair... #booksky #booksandbeer

Reading a small town americana tale while traversing quaint 🇧🇪 towns feels a bit off. New goal: finish #MainStreet quickly so I can hit up some used bookshops for a new read.

I may have gone a little overboard with my devices. Haven't even glanced at the Switch since I started playing old school classics with these. Now the hard part: I'll need to pick one, and only one for the next trip.

The before & after - started #TheBookOfGuilt on crisp, well tucked hotel bed, finished it thrashing around in anxiety. Based on the cover I thought this would be a relaxing story set in the countryside, was I ever wrong 🤣. What a weird, thrilling ride. #booksky #thriller #fiction #notwhatiexpected

Do I read or do I game? #Danubia is queued up, but #Pokemon Fire Red is here too...

Also love a fake beach setting in the middle of concrete land.

Haven't been able to quite get back into reading, or anything for that matter since this mini getaway. I can never get enough of this place.

Autocracy Inc was a lot to digest. After that one and The Godfather I need a break from the serious stuff, so starting my #Pokemon journey with Fire Red. Never played these before. A kid recommended I start with this one. I hope I don't suck. #powkiddy #retrogames #retrohandheld #videogames #gba

Still not done with this book. #TheGodfather is taking longer than expected, but I've also been very distracted by these beautiful streets. Amazing coffee from Bernice, also, the canal nearby seems like somewhere where an enemy of the Corleone's might be dumped...

Back on #TheGodfather, with a side of heart attack breakfast. Seems like something the Don might eat. #booksky #mtl

Something funny to read and something fun to listen to to kickstart this #MondayMonday. All the hype about #koss headphones are legit, they sound SO good, better than most sets, spanning the $ range that I've tried since the 2000s.

#PilgrimsProgress what to say...the 2nd part seemed to have lost the charm, did I miss something? Anyway, #FinalFantasy #DistantWorlds album was a good fit for this leg of the journey, followed by a nice stroll through some fall colours. That's my pilgrim's journey wrapped. #booksky #classics

I've finished none of the other books I've started but I saw this on the shelves and couldn't help myself. #AnneApplebaum 's writing always hooks me, so I'm excited for this despite the subject matter and any ties to the state of the world these days.

Making progress on #ThePilgrimsProgress. I don't think this book is meant to be funny but I'm finding it so in a charming, whimsical way. Fresh air, coffee, treats and a book...can't think of any thing else I'd rather do on a #SlowSunday morning.

Took a break after Omori, but have been itching to get into another #RPG, so here we go. I've heard the hype & I'm coming to this so late, but I dig it already bc it's #HD2D!

I think I'll go with Wild West to kick this off.

Reading the #PilgrimsProgress, making me feel even more guilty about being lazy and barely moving today. Thrilling cover art, very not thrilling journey, but calming and suitable for #sunset. Maybe it's me, the pilgrim sounds very whiny in my head. #booksky #classics #pilgrimmage #finallyfriday

#Grandaddy and #TheGodfather, a very parental pairing, maybe grandaddy can mellow out godfather...? It's been decades since I've watched The Godfather movies, and I've never read the book before so I'm pretty excited to dive into it. #modernclassic #booksky #booksandmusic #vinyl #TuesdayTunes

#SamHarris put out a great piece through his substack about losing the information wars in the current (social) media landscape. While the whole article rang true, these closing #WordsOfWisdom spoke the loudest.

#TheSirensCall - a look at the info economy & how each advancement in access to info went through the same love/hate cycle in their time. The importance of being protective of how we are consuming info to avoid having our attention spans weaponized against us really hits home. #booksky #nonfiction

For once I don't feel guilty about this mini #bookhaul. Usually I buy way more all at once, so quite proud of myself this time for practicing restraint. Just noticed it's all #nonfiction this round. #booksky #essays #travelbooks #history

I seem to have hit the #bookshop themed stories hard this year. #MorisakiBookshop, like the others I've read is another hug for the soul. The more I read this genre, the more I feel the call to work at a small indie bookshop. One day...

Halfway through #Sociopath and enjoying it. The author's childhood filled with confusion around why they didn't feel or react the same way as others was heartbreaking.

Unhinged remixes of #Paramore to go with a #memoir of learning to deal with unhinged impulses. #booksky #booksandmusic #nonfic

Sad that the days are getting shorter. Feels like summer is over before it really started. On the flipside, the #dusk lighting is feeling warm and lovely.

I needed a junk food boost for this final push to finish #EvilInModernThought - the #philosophy of evil, applying the concepts to modern disasters, human & natural. It's v. deep so I could only digest bits at a time but the writing is fluid, beautiful & immersive. #nonfiction #booksky #fridayfunday

The #shortstories in #Craft are hard to describe, other than to say overall it's all very original.

Stories are not connected, yet they are, themes are dark yet also light. As a cheeky devil is a prominent character #DepecheMode seemed appropriate. #booksky #fiction #booksandmusic #vinyl #80s

#Omori is all kinds of messed up. Some dark ass story behind this cutesy art style. This game was not at all what I expected. I really really enjoyed it, and find myself still thinking a lot about the plot points and clues throughout the game. #nintendoswitch #darkthemes #rpg #hiddengem #indiegames
