My October reads include a lot of Batman and a hearty dose of Vampire the Masquerade sourcebooks, thanks to last month’s Humble Bundle. Will I play VtM in the next 12 months? Unlikely, but I love the setting. #booksky

The Mass Effect board game is very fun but each round takes about 3 hours so there’s a reason we’ve only played it twice since Christmas

Some great books in September, as well as some distinctly average. I know everyone loved The Raven Scholar but I thought it was just…okay? But anyway Somewhere Beyond the Sea made me cry happy tears, and I couldn’t put Heir of Fire down. #booksky

I decided to pick up FFVIII again on a whim to play in bed on Switch, and for the most part, it’s been great rediscovering it, but I still do not care about additional card games

Books I read in August! I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on the Vorkosigan saga all this time - just phenomenal stuff. Looking forward to diving into the rest of those at some point. I also hit my reading goal of 60 books for the year already! #booksky

July’s books were (mostly) excellent! This year is the year of Le Guin for me - the big Earthsea reread and catching up on others I missed. The Annals of the Western Shore series is utterly wonderful - well worth exploring if you haven’t before. #booksky

it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught

Finally getting around to last month’s roundup! A JOY to read the Murderbots I hadn’t got to yet, some incredible books that made me cry (Tehanu, A Psalm for the Wild Built) and holy shit, the second weirdest Anne Rice book I’ve read and I’ve read… a lot. Too much. #booksky

I absolutely love this series. Read it through probably five times. It's comfort reading of the kind that involves a sarcastic and murderous necromancer, and if you have not yet, you should.
The first Cabal short "Johannes Cabal and the Blustery Day" was published sometime in 2004, but I can't be more exact than to a month. To me, however, the first publication of the novel in 2009 is his "proper" birthday, and that's today! Happy Birthday, Johannes, you irascible bastard ❤️

If you have been feeling lost, adrift, discontent at all recently, then read Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. I finished it in a single sitting and cried, because it was so beautiful and relatable, and in Sibling Dex I truly felt seen. #booksky
