I enjoyed “The Prince Without Sorrow” by Maithree Wijesekara! If vengeance, political intrigue, and a fight against genocidal persecution inspired by an empire in ancient India sounds like your cup of tea, I recommend checking it out.

Just finished The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu. I would recommend it if you like hard sci-fi, conspiracies, and novels set within a historical context (it takes place in China with references to real historical events).

Just finished “If We Were Villains” by M. L. Rio. It reminded me a bit of “Knives Out” so if you like that kind of mystery story, this one’s a good read!

“The Spear Cuts Through Water” by Simon Jimenez is a beautiful standalone book! I’d recommend it if lyrical prose, epic fantasy, and a dream-like reading experience sounds like something you’d enjoy.

Just read “Ink Blood Sister Scribe” by Emma Torzs and I found it to be a satisfying standalone. If mystery, a modern setting, and secret magic books sounds intriguing to you, you might like this book!

I finished the “Arc of a Scythe” series by Neal Shusterman. It’s a fantastic YA series if you like far future sci-fi and stories about human flaws within a utopian world questioning what good and evil really are

I just finished “Human Acts” by Han Kang. It’s a historical fiction around the Gwangju Uprising and Massacre. It’s a heavy read and I would recommend if you like reading books set around a historical event not commonly written about. Warning: very graphic

It took me so many hours but I did my first drawing after a year-long break from art! This is my character for a Wildsea campaign. I'm playing a Mothryn Kitesailor named Tziket.

I haven’t heard it since I was a child any yet somehow I’ve managed to unearth the Discovery Channel’s Eyewitness intro song from its grave. Now it haunts me, playing on repeat in my head.

A while ago, I decided to draw (almost) every character from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks! Stay tuned for 'Fire Walk with Me' and 'The Return', as well!

I got distracted and crocheted a plushie of my jumping spider. I did my bearded dragon a while ago though I couldn’t get his complex patterning. I’m just going to have plushies of all of my pets eventually
