Two large stacks of books sit horizontally on a bookshelf. The stack on the left is The Necromancer's Apprentice, while the stack on the right is of What the Sea Brings.

Finished it. What an absolutely perfect book

Good.

I think it'll make a resurgence, considering the ARCs I have squirreled away. I grew up reading The Squire's Tales by Gerald Morris and they profoundly shaped my imagination and my own books. I might just have to binge read them all again

The Witch Below the Dreaming Wood by H.G. Parry is so very good, y’all.

What if 2026 is the year I just read Arthurian legends?

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

an updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:

It’s really fun! Takes some trial and error to learn how the system works but once you get going it is very easy to adapt and roll with

My swashbuckler rogue *finally* had a good session where she lied her way through some information gathering and successfully dodged the man who tried to assassinate her with a clutch Nat 20.

Then later rolled a Nat 1 to confirm that yes, she has been in the local jail hahaha

Oh! Did you not do New Game+? It allows you to keep all your pictos and keep leveling up while replaying the game.

Hello - my cats are once again prying every last penny from my bank account with vet visits 😅 Buy a book? Help an elderly cat and their bedraggled author mother?
