TBR Stack December 2021
November Recap A new month means a new TBR stack! I’m really enjoying these posts. Planning out what to read is, for some reason, an extremely enjoyable endeavor for me. And being able to share that planning is also enjoyable. So let’s get into it. I only finished four books during November, though I am in the process of reading multiple books. What the Hex by Alexis Daria (3 stars) River Marked by Patricia Briggs (re-read, 4 stars) A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir (5 stars) Namesake by Adrienne Young (3 stars) Of the four I finished, three were on my TBR for the month. What can I…

TBR Stack November 2021
October Recap Last month I wanted to focus on being gentle with myself and try to finish out books I’d already started as a part of my TBR stack. I also wanted to give myself the room to choose comfort reads as I desired. I read six books in October, only three of which were on my TBR list for the month. Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs (re-read, 4 stars) Darling by K. Ancrum (4 stars) Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur (4 stars) Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs (re-read, 4 stars) Peter Darling by Austin Chant (3 stars) City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab (4 stars) I liked…

TBR Stack October 2021
Some Thoughts Reading kind of went by the wayside in September due to lack of work and mental health balances. I also already know that it could possibly be a bit of a tough mental health month—my CPTSD has been giving me a bit of a rough time the past few days, so I want to be gentle with myself. Being gentle with myself for October means trying to finish some books I’ve already started, and mainly just giving myself freedom to choose any comfort reads (whether re-reads or new reads in favored genres—largely paranormal romance) I want that are not on this list. I also don’t know that I’m…

TBR Stack September 2021
Rollovers This is only my second time writing a post of this type. So I was unsure how to handle books I wanted to carry over from another month. I think I’m going to refer to it as the “rollover” section. Do you guys push books from month to month in hopes of reading it sooner than later? Anyway, here’s my rollovers for September. Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik – First appeared in August’s TBR Stack. Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse – First appeared in August’s TBR Stack. Namesake by Adrienne Young – First appeared in August’s TBR Stack. Darling by K. Ancrum –Â First appeared in August’s TBR Stack. Peter…

TBR Stack August 2021
Why a TBR Stack? I’ve never done a post like this before, and I think it’d be fun to go over what’s currently in my reading stack for the month. I know I’m most likely not going to get to every single book on the list. I’m not sure how it’ll look in future posts, but I really wanted to talk a smidge about all the books I’m looking forward to trying this month. Reading is something that’s become enjoyable to me again in the past year or so, and because I’m feeling passionate about it, I figured why not share? Library Run These are the books I plan on…

Long Term FFXIV Goals, Redux
Phase One It seems I write a post like this every few years after I dive headlong into FFXIV… again. This time, I’ve changed my main (different server, though my Cactuar character is still alive and well), and she doesn’t have much leveled up. So I figured creating this list to give me a loose plan on what I’d like to do would be helpful. Again. Much like the last time I wrote a post like this, I’m maining White Mage for the instant queues and fast leveling experience so that I can get up to learning Dancer. I’m still thinking I can do quests as a Dancer but dungeon…

Nerding Goals September 2020
August Recap I pared down my August goals to try and be more focused in tackling them, so let’s see what I accomplished! WHM to 50 (FFXIV) Complete updated base game MSQ (FFXIV) I’m less than 50% away from dinging 50 on WHM, though I haven’t had the time or energy to do a lot of gaming as of late. Some of that is changes at work, and some of that is just trying to work my way through depressive episodes. I just don’t have a lot of desire to game during the work-week due to how my days have been going so far, but I’m going to try to…

Nerding Goals August 2020
July Recap I set some goals for July, but I honestly didn’t glance at them much during the month, so I’m not sure if I completed many. Let’s find out together! WHM to 45 (FFXIV) Check! Complete MSQ through level 45 (FFXIV) Check? I definitely hit my goal of getting to 45! And I think I was in story quests that were level 45? I know that with the big patch earlier this week everything has changed with MSQ for base game, so I’ve yet to dip back in to check where I was. Complete How I Made $10K as a PSO (Reading/Business) Check! Complete Don’t Keep Your Day Job (Reading/Business) Get halfway through A Song…

Nerding Goals July 2020
May/June Recap I set up some May goals that seemed like I would manage most of them. I didn’t manage many, however, due to changes in the world and my own changes in game interests. Inventory Management (ESO)Â Check! Pick up the last items I need for learning crafting traits (ESO) Do a few quests in Grahtwood (ESO) I worked through my inventory management and tackled that, but I also realized that ESO really isn’t what I’m enjoying right now, as much as I may want to. So I’ll likely be putting ESO goals on the back burner for now, even if I do happen to log in and play some…

Games to Tackle in 2020
Ten Games to Tackle At the end of last year, Krikket of Nerd Girl Thoughts put together a list of ten games she wanted to tackle in 2020. I stumbled my way onto this post when she updated how she’s been doing with her endeavor in a blog post during Blapril, and I liked the idea, so I thought I’d try to come up with a shorter list of my own five to six games I’d love to knock off of my to-be-played list (or rather, technically, my massive Steam library) before the end of this year. This might be a bit difficult, however, because I can be quite an…
