Welcome back to Wednesday Links, everyone! We had our first D&D session of the new year, continuing our Curse of Strahd campaign. I made a cake because we had a ton of leftover baking/dessert ingredients from holiday cookie making. I’m playing a cleric, which is the first casting class I’ve played and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I think I gel much better with a ranger and its subclasses. Are you … Continue reading Links: Book Announcements, Movies, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! There’s only one more left in 2022. I can hardly believe it. I’ll be at my partner’s place on Christmas Eve, exchanging presents. I already know their present to me – a trip to Galaxy’s Edge to make my own lightsaber! Christmas Day, I’ll be back at my own apartment where my roommate and I are going to order a metric ton of Chinese food to just relax. Happy holidays, … Continue reading Links: Short Films, Patrick Stewart, & More

Hey all! It’s Wednesday! Come on in! I went to the Cape with my partner last weekend and just had the loveliest time. I met their aunt, ate some good food, and got some sun on these gams.

I planted the seeds into little pots yesterday and have them … Continue reading Links: Anthologies, Fabio, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Settle in, everybody! My partner was moving apartments this weekend and I gleefully spent most of my time providing positive reinforcement and playing Super Mario Odyssey. I’ve become obsessed with collecting moons and outfits for Mario. I’m also replaying through Portal 2 at my place and I forgot what a great game that was. Are any of you playing some good video games? … Our reviewer Tara and author Kris Bryant … Continue reading Links: Fundraisers, Libraries, & More

It’s a little chilly here in New England. I hope anyone in the path of the winter storm is staying safe and warm.

Welcome back, everyone! Let’s gather ’round for some links! How was the week been treating you? It’s been awful cold in New England. My little space heater finally kicked the bucket yesterday, on a day when the high was 13 degrees Fahrenheit. Talk about timing!

Squee From the Keeper Shelf: Final Fantasy VIII

If I had to pick one video game that had the most significant combined impact on me as a gamer and a romance reader, it has to be Final Fantasy VIII. FFVIII is essentially a romance novel in RPG video game form and it had an indelible impact in making me love tropes that are STILL major catnip for me, like settings that combine science fiction and magic elements, political intrigues, girls dealing with possibly … Continue reading Squee From the Keeper Shelf: Final Fantasy VIII
