Meet Frida, my Tortle Wizard!

The campaign may already be over, but I finally painted her mini - better late than never? 😅

📚💙 BOOK MINI-REVIEW: "LEGENDS & LATTES"

The heartwarming story of an orc who leaves behind a life of bloodshed to open her own cafe.

So ... cozy fantasy may be my new favourite genre. This book is a comfort, like a warm mug of coffee - I smiled the whole way through!

#books #cozy #fantasy
The book cover of "Legends and Lattes" by Travis Baldree. A female orc and pink-skinned succubus stand behind a cafe counter, back to back while looking at each other over their shoulders. The orc holds a metal pitcher and a white teacup, while the succubus holds a plate with a cinnamon scroll. The review by Seanan McGuire says, "It's sweet, beautiful and, most of all, kind. I hugely recommend this book." A sticker says "NEW BONUS PREQUEL STORY".

Why would I clean my irl kitchen when I can decorate my make-believe one instead?

📚💙 BOOK MINI-REVIEW: "CRIER'S WAR"

A human girl plots to kill an Automa heiress ... but falls in love with her instead.

Unfortunately the romance suffers from the protagonist's aloofness, though I still enjoyed the lush prose and intriguing world where the Made oppress their Makers.

#books
Book cover of Crier's War. It features a gold geometric pattern with silhouettes of two girls at the bottom of the cover. Above the title, it says, "One Mortal, One Made - One Loved, One Betrayed".

🎮 GAME MINI-REVIEW: "UNTIL THEN"

A beautifully crafted emotional journey about grief and friendship. The pixel art is GORGEOUS and, along with great dialogue, brings the lovable characters to life.

My only complaints: the slow pace and ... the ending. Left me feeling conflicted!

As a massive fan of It Takes Two and A Way Out, I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on Hazelight Studios' latest co-op game, Split Fiction! 🤩 Am betting it'll be a masterpiece.

🎮 GAME MINI-REVIEW: "THE RED LANTERN"

A survival roguelite about dog sledding! Meditative and moody, it basks in the beauty and dangers of its Alaskan snowscapes.

I was hooked, but did wish there was more event variety, overarching narrative, and strategy. However, YOU CAN PET THE DOGS.

📚💙 BOOK MINI-REVIEW: "HOUSE OF LEAVES"

A book about a book about a film about an impossible house. Intimidating to read, yet oddly captivating with its pages-long footnotes and upside-down passages. A unique horror story lingering on mystery & humanity.

Warning: disturbing themes.

A friendly reminder to take some downtime for yourselves, and don't burn out! 💙

To balance out any mad crunch time these past few weeks, my downtime activity has been building this book nook. It was such a nice way to unwind, and look how lovely it turned out!! 🥹
