After a long hiatus, I'm back to posting about the books and other media I've read or seen.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4 with mods via Nexusmods. When I'm not playing that, I'll play Stardew Valley, which is a mix of a RPG and farm simulator. While I've finished the quests, it's interesting to grow stuff and search for things. There are ( Read more... )

Lately I've been reading a lot, but not listing a lot here.
My new plan is to update this journal once a week. If I write sooner, I'll keep it as a draft until I'm ready to publish it.
Not that I have readers, but more to ease my own stress over making sure I write something.

Spider Star
by Mike Brotherton
After reading his first book, Srar Dragon, I was keen to get into this one. Like the first, it held my attention until I finished the story. Even better written than the first one, Spider Star holds up the intensity without being overwhelming or tiring ( Read more... )

Star Dragon
by Mike Brotherton
I had picked up Spider Star (another book by Mike Brotherton) but hadn't read it because I thought it was part of a series. Because of this, I purchased Star Dragon which was published before the other one. After reading it, I realized they are not a series but stand alone books.
Star Dragon is the journey of five ( Read more... )
