Just finished the second book in @aptshadow.bsky.social's Children of Time series. My review is brief and more a finishing note, but goodness that was a good book!

Finished the fantastic last book in the series and... Wow. Truly enjoyed that so much, even as a re-read. This year has started with lots of reading, and hopefully it continues more with my 'To Be Read' shelf! #reading #booksky #readmore

Popped to our favourite café with my fiancée - a mocha, a thick paperback and the one I love. A perfect Saturday afternoon. 📚❤️ #reading #booksky #Eragon #love #readersky

So, been on a decent reading stint for the first 5 days of the year, thought I'd share my current and TBR (on the shelf):
Current: Brisingr (Paperback), The Enigma of Room 622 (Kindle)
Images are the books I plan to have read before the year's end #booksky #reading #fiction #readersky

Nice evening of continuing Golden Sun: The Lost Age. And some progress on my new 'game journaling' hobby I'm doing this year.

A while since I posted - been a bit of a mixed month with some very low lows, but Christmas with my fiancée was great.
And did I get some cracking games/book related bits or what!?
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is queued up for after Triangle Strategy which is great!

Does anybody else like to revisit games when times are tough?
I'm pretty open about my depression, and I joke on stream a lot about how often I replay the same games - but I think there's something to be said about the comfort that comes from frequently revisiting the worlds of games I love. ❤

Started Triangle Strategy last night after finding a great deal (The Game Collection) - absolutely loving it so far, though it's giving me suggestions it's going to be mighty tough, especially as someone newer to the SRPG genre!

What's everyone playing as their weekend winds down?
Re. Mario + Rabbids: Spark of Hope - few hours in, hardest difficulty and it's fun, though I'd say it doesn't feel as "tight" as the first game did, mechanically. That's early doors though!
Would love to know what others are playing! #gamingsky

Finished Echoes of Wisdom yesterday.
It was fun, and I loved the focus on puzzles. It's not perfect, but I had a good time playing it. 8/10 from me.
Next up: Mario + Rabbids: Spark of Hope! Had so much fun with the 1st title!

Hello #gamingsky
Got an absolute stinker of a cold afterward a busy few days so have been 0 on the interaction front, but wanted to post today.. mostly just to say hey, and hear if anyone's playing anything fun at the moment?
I'm loving Echoes of Wisdom, and also did my very first round of 1/2

This, they have their place for sure.

So I am about 90min or so in to Echoes of Wisdom and I love it. It's charming, fun, the puzzle focus is great and I just want to explore and see what whacky combos I can come up with as the game progresses.
Big departure from the open world titles, but I am here for it #gamingsky #Switch #Zelda

Hello #gamingsky!
I'm still yet to post about my Metroid Dread play through, but I'll share thoughts tomorrow now as it's been a busy day!
That said, I've finally managed to start playing my next game - Echoes of Wisdom, for which I am very excited! Long time fan of the series (30+ years) ❤️!
