#IMWAYR: Running out of nothingburger post titles!

I am continuing my grandiose reading slump—and honestly? Not feeling too bad about it! Books will still be there when I get back to them. I mentioned last week that I've been playing a video game for a few weeks, Desta: The Memories Between —and like thirty minutes ago, I BEAT THE STORY MODE!!! I love this game—the story is affecting and poignant and wise, and the gameplay is engaging enough to make me feel all clever when I do something right, yet not so demanding that I can't sit and have a relaxing time playing. There are other game modes that I could play in order to explore the rest of the game's story—or I could switch over for now and play another game by the studio (Ustwo Games). Decisions, decisions! But all good decisions, thankfully. Also, I mentioned last week  that I was into the album With a Lightning Strike  by Genevieve Stokes—and if I was into it then, I am INTO IT now. Geez! This album is literally getting me through—I love it so much. Also, something you...

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Allergic, written by Megan Wagner Lloyd and illustrated by Michelle Mee Nutter

Well, it's happening—on Monday, I start in-person college classes for the first time in my life. Accordingly, I will be wildly busy and frantic for a while, but considering I posted a book review every single week of my first year of college last year (which was all-virtual), I don't think my blog will suffer too much. But you can expect that Thursday Thoughts posts will be on hiatus, and I probably won't have time to stop by people's blogs during the week (although I will still be diligent about commenting on your MMGM and #IMWAYR posts). Blogging is a nice respite from the chaos of college, so I will look forward to sharing oodles of book reviews as always in the months to come! In other news, I bought a bunch of new graphic novels using gift-card money! A few are already out, most of them come out in September and October, and one comes out in February and one in April. It'll be nice to have some cool books just magically showing up on my doorstep! Aggravatingly,...

#IMWAYR: Monument Valley 2 (which is not a book)!

Image
Y'all, I have a confession to make... Today I'm reviewing a video game, not a book. And I kind of hate that I'm doing it! This is a book blog, and I post in a roundup of book bloggers. So I hate to use this forum for whatever I feel like—there are standards  to be abided by ,  for goodness's sake! Aaaaaaaaaaaand yet...at the same time, I really want to talk about this game with y'all. Because it's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I can think of, and it matters a lot to me, and I think every human being would find joy and meaning from playing it, and that includes y'all! And I miss talking to y'all about what I'm interested in. And I daresay this game might even have particular appeal to book lovers...especially graphic novel lovers like moi self. (I know that's cheap, but just go with it!) So we're doing it—we're talking about Monument Valley 2 ! What is Monument Valley 2 ? Well, one easy way to find out is to watch the trailer: Bu...
