Should have headed into the forums before I went back into Destiny 2 - the new Heresy season is already making me want to tear my hair out! As a solo player, all the seasonal missions this expansion have been absolutely dreadful. There’s difficulty, and then there’s just impossible.

I wanted to change the sheets tonight but how can I move this precious angel?

Last month’s reads! Children of Dune was such a slog, ugh. However, the rest were pure delights. I absolutely raced through Onyx Storm, I’m fully invested in the Empyrean series now #booksky

The feeling when you win £200 on the lottery and then the shower door falls out of the wall… so that’s where the cash is going 🙃

We have also had gems such as “it’s addicting, isn’t it? I don’t understand it but I can’t stop watching”

I finally watched The Substance and fuuuuucking hell that was an EXPERIENCE. Absolutely mental in the best possible way.

I forgot to post last month’s reads! Anyway here’s what December brought me. Some classics, some great reads, a true stinker (I thought The Crystal Star would be MUCH better, I love Vonda McIntyre normally!), and finally, The Fifth Season, which was absolutely astounding. #booksky

Animal crossing 🍃

If you have not read anything by CJ Cherryh, now is your cue to start reading the Chanur novels, they are so so good

My anxiety is kicking up a fuss today for reasons unknown (too much work to do?? probably) but at least I have my little ball of fluff beside me

#Booksky We have a brand new Astreiant novel coming out on 3/20! POINT OF HEARTS (Astreiant #6) by Melissa Scott @blueterraplane.bsky.social is up for preorder on our site and Amazon right now (more platforms very soon!) and we have ARCs for reviewers! queenofswordspress.com/product/poin...

I think it’s very cruel that my baby cat is napping next door and I can’t nap with her because I have to work

My husband is reading The Locked Tomb books at the moment and I am DYING to comment on things but also don’t want to spoil a single bit!!!

Last batch of fudge for the season and we’re finishing strong on a white chocolate and cranberry

I got a free 7-day Nintendo Switch online code when I bought something, but as I have a membership already it doesn’t apply. Code is E0TLRMY0QT9V0P1R - hope it’s useful to someone!

It’s not really Christmas until I’ve watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, and now I have, and work is over for the year, and the presents are wrapped and I can just… breathe.

It is mother-daughter reading time

Finally got my PlayStation Wrap-Up and wow I played a lot of Destiny 2 this year

If you have never played Arkham Asylum or Arkham City, they are currently on sale on the PSN store for £3.49. That is cheaper than a latte for two of the best games of the PS3 era. Go go go go go!

gitched sign + one of those pointless TikTok-style ads = unintentional cyberpunk at the Whole Foods

Mark the date - 6th December, I’ve been Whammageddoned

She is very pleased the Christmas tree is back

Oh hey Wrapped is out. And surprising absolutely nobody in 3, 2, 1…

While I refuse to use AI for the majority of things, using generative fill on Photoshop to take people out of the background of a photo is a revelation.

One a week for November but by golly, what great tales they were. I thoroughly recommend all of these, but particularly Crossroad by Barbara Hambly. If you love Trek, this would have made an excellent entry into TOS S3 - it’s weird, but brilliant.

I’m 34 today. Already wrenched my shoulder rolling over in bed to give my husband a cuddle this morning. But on the other hand, I came up with a killer D&D campaign idea in the wee hours of the morning so swings and roundabouts, I guess!

These books are SO good, go treat yourself!

Went to the Birmingham Christmas Market today and it cost SIX POUNDS for a bag of candied nuts so fuck it, I’ll just have to learn how to do caramel

This little turd has stress cystitis because she lost a fight with another cat the other day. She is truly my stupid child.

Had a wonderful afternoon at my local game store coming up with descriptive language for scene setting in D&D! A true balm for the soul on a wet and wild Sunday.
