Not a bad haul this year presents-wise. I got myself some good stuff and my mom managed to surprise me by buying me a pair of PURPLE panda hand warmers I once showed her and decided not to buy. Anyway. It's super cute. Goes well with my new purple winter coat. And the purple lights on my tree 😁💜

Today I review THE VENETIAN HERETIC, a historical fiction novel by Christian Cameron.
"The Venetian Heretic transports the reader into a tumultuous period in Venice's history, full of intrigue, crime, culture, and war."

It's that time of the year when I start to think about what to do on my upcoming birthday (in February). And like clockwork, my mind wanders over to that tiny locked box somewhere deep in the dark where I keep the idea of finally getting my second tattoo done. Who knows, maybe this will be the year.

Me in November: I'll be smart and figure out the lettering for my bullet journal well ahead of time.
Me now: Maybe that was a mistake, because I'm on the third set of letters & I'm still not happy and shall keep tweaking it until the end of time - or the end of the year. Whichever happens first.

a) loves reading

d) someone you'd like to learn more about the neurodivergent experience
e) is really cool
f) all of the above
there's still time to get this before Xmas🧙

Down to 83 at the first initial whetting. This is the easy part. Choosing one song/band will be a bit harder and then the real pain begins as I start making the hard decisions...
So, today I refreshed my list of potential Sound of Madness prompts - we are currently sitting at 212. By the end of the month, I need to cut that down to 25. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Yikes. The added bonus of going through the list of songs I added to my Spotify playlist this year is that I can weed out all the AI shit now that I know the signs. I'm sad to say a few got past me, but I'm rectifying that. There are a couple I'm mad about because I genuinely liked them 😒
Look, I decidedly was shit about updating this thread. I also know 2025 isn't over yet, but I'm too excited to get started on the prompt list for the 2026 Sound of Madness Reading Challenge, so today I'm refreshing the list of song titles I can work with. Btw, it's not too late to join this year!
