Merchants of Bone and Light by Erika Mckorkle

Hannah — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 15:54:33 +0000

Hello everyone! Today I’m overjoyed to host The Write Reads on my blog once again to introduce you all to the Merchants of Bone and Light by Erika Mckorkle. I am sadly in a bit of a reading slump at the moment which is making my hyper picky and I’m barely reading, but I have read a little and want to share a few thoughts with you. So the first thing I feel is really important to note about this...

2024 Book Releases I’m Most Starry-Eyed Over

Hannah — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 18:54:22 +0000

Oh hello there! It has been a while. I’ve not had the spoons to write much at all these past few months and so to preserve what little energy I have, I let myself leave the blog ticking along. However, I’m having a bit of a reading renaissance this year, it seems, and I’m just so excited about so many books I thought it would be nice to share some of that excitement. As such, here are all of the...

Trek to Yomi Quick Look – Humble Choice August 2023

Hannah — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 15:11:53 +0000

The Blaugust bunch do a monthly look in at the Humble Choice monthly offerings, each taking a game or two and writing up a little review of sorts to cover the games within and give a vague look in. A nice thing for folks who may be undecided on whether or not they’ll pick it up on a given month, but also just an interesting snippet of game reviews. For August, we have a pretty solid selection of games: I...

Spoons and What I Do With Them

Hannah — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 00:32:02 +0000

I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,...

I’m Joining Blaugust 2023

Hannah — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 20:09:47 +0000

This is perhaps a bad idea for me to attempt right now as I’m already struggling with everything else I’m trying to do (fatigue/brain fog do not make for an eloquent blogger), however, I have signed up for Blaugust 2023! For those of you who are unaware, Blaugust is a blogging event started by Belghast that occurs during August (usually), and its original idea was to publish a blog post every day during that month. This, of course, is a...

The Best of the Steam NextFest June 2023

Hannah — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 23:51:11 +0000

Last week was the Steam NextFest for June 2023 and I almost didn’t look at it at all, but a friend was talking about the games she was checking out and I couldn’t help myself. The thing is, usually when I pick out demos from NextFest, they sit on my PC until I ultimately uninstall them, unplayed. I’m just not a big demo/beta kind of gal. But last week was tough for me and I suppose unfocused game hopping was...

World of Warcraft: A Greedy Emissary Quick Guide

Hannah — Thu, 25 May 2023 15:15:52 +0000

Hey folks! I have a quick guide for World of Warcraft’s Diablo IV crossover event A Greedy Emissary for you today. I had to trawl through the internet and just dive into it to work out how it works, so I figured I’d throw out what I found in the hope that this helps somebody. Some Kinks First off, know that this has dozens of people attacking a single target for all they’ve got. This event is laggy so you’ll...

Resumed Adventures in Azeroth

Hannah — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 16:31:53 +0000

Hey everybody! It has been a while since I’ve been active on this blog so I felt a sort of re-introduction was prudent. No I don’t think you’ve forgotten me, rather that I wish to talk a little about what’s currently been taking my free time: World of Warcraft. Yes, the very game that I made my start in blogging with (I tried searching the Wayback Machine for Jaedia’s Menagerie or even The Lazy Sniper proper but it seems they are...

Cal Black’s No Port in a Storm Book Cover Reveal

Hannah — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:22:46 +0000

Long time no see! I hope you’ve all been keeping well. I’ve been playing my games and getting into movies in a big way, think I’ve even found my way out of my reading slump. But that’s not why I’m here today. You see, a friend of mine, Cal Black, has the second book in her fantasy series coming out and I’m here to share the book cover with you. A book cover reveal, if you will. The series is...
