The very finest in fake lies, yelling, and jokes that aren't worth the legwork
Hi how are you, yes, good, I am glad to hear it, what’s that, why yes, I did have to start my 30-hour playthrough of Fire Emblem: Engage over because I THOUGHT that skirmishes were Classic Mode character-death safe-zones, AND I WAS WRONG, and I am so angry that a team of scientists from Norway…
(Obligatory reminder to subscribe to my once-monthly newsletter here, which rounds up everything I wrote in the preceding month and includes a piece of exclusive bonus content I will NEVER repost anywhere else, ever!) OL’ FREEBIE STRIKES ONCE AGAIN, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Run ‘er up a flagpole and I will salute….
TODAY, I taught some small boys how to play TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, and was afforded the privilage of claiming Donatello as my permaturtle as long as I allowed that Oldest Boy was, now and forever, The Red One. This, to me, is a fair trade; Raph may be cool but rude, but Donny—as we know—does…
Normally, I try to start my posts off with an unrelated mini-thought, a kind of cold open, but tonight I am without even the ghost of an idea, for mine was a busy day, filled with vet visits and exercise and voiceover work (about which I’m too excited to even pretend to #humblebrag) and, most…
It’s me! Hi! I’m the problem! But I’m your problem, and there’s something to be said for that. It’s twenty and twenty and three if you can believe it and even if you can’t, by some accounts. Let’s start the year right and Talk a little Bookish, shall we? Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly…
As far as I can tell, I think one Let’s Talk Bookish every month is a free space, for whatever book-topic you’ve been chewing on or for a previous LBT topic you weren’t around for or missed. THESE ARE STRESSFUL FOR ME, because if I was good at choosing things to talk about, I wouldn’t…
How much do book titles matter? Unfortunately, I would have to say that titles matter, sometimes a great deal but but maybe not quite in the way the question means; I find myself focused more on series nomenclature. For example, Tamsyn Muir’s Nona The Ninth just dropped and we’re all just shivered to our very…
This week’s LBT was Choose Your Own Adventure! So I looked back into the LTB Archives to see what would catch my eye like a fishhook in an unwary face, and saw a prompt on a topic to which I devote a great deal of time in my human life: Tracking Reading. Do you keep…
Against all expectation and odds given by local bookies I am back for my second week of LTB, because I got the dang bug now, and it will not be satisfied until each of the countless eggs it’s laid somewhere on/in my person has hatched into a thoughtful, or at least fun to write, post….
I’m…fairly sure I’m allowed to do this? I’ll be the first to admit that mine is a very new site, at six months in October (although as of this writing I’ve hit the 55-post mark, and you have only yourselves to blame for encouraging me) and have a lot to learn both about the art…
