Tarot 2025
And here’s my final 2025 in review post. I bought and/or received just four new tarot decks in 2025. I phrase it that way because I’ve kickstarted other decks, but they won’t be with me until well into the new year. I also obtained a few oracle decks, starting with… Call of the MorriganPreordered in Continue reading

YouTube 2025
Yet another 2025 post, and it’s not the last one! I watch more YouTube than any other kind of AV media, and my YouTube Recap finally arrived on Xmas Eve, after I’d given up on ever seeing it. It was… interesting. I wasn’t happy with the fact that the channels I watch that debunk conspiracies Continue reading

2025 mix
My 2025 mix. Like most of my mixes, it’s CD-length because I’m old that way. Most of these tracks weren’t released last year, but they did get added to my MP3 library* in 2025 and immediately went into strong rotation. Art by u/Yuukikoneko *because I’m old that way Continue reading

My Year in Games
I’ve been waiting for Steam’s Year in Review to release, which it did this week. While it doesn’t fully show my gaming for the year – one of my perennial faves I play via a different client – it still has most of the info I needed to do my own review. This is Steam’s Continue reading

Books 2025: 5 Stars
Divine Cities series – Robert Jackson Bennett(City of Stairs, City of Blades, City of Miracles)Just as good as his other books, even though this was, I believe, his first trilogy written. His characterisation is always wonderful and entirely without the common flaws of male writers when writing women. I love that he writes old women, Continue reading

Books 2025: 4 Stars
Planetfall series – Emma Newman(Planetfall, After Atlas, Before Mars, Atlas Alone)I’m only not giving these books, each one a separate but connected tale, five stars because there’s no real conclusion to the series, and I became so invested that I found this fact deeply frustrating even if realistic. These extremely well written books look, from Continue reading

Books 2025: 3 Stars
Aristotle and Dante duology – Benjamin Alire Saenz(Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World)A sweet coming of age literary M/M story. The first novel ended so perfectly, narratively speaking, that I felt unwilling to read the sequel, but when Amazon promptly offered it Continue reading

Books 2025: 1 & 2 Stars
⭐ The Gateway Trilogy and the Gateway Trackers 1-2 – EE Holmes(Spirit Legacy, Spirit Prophecy, Spirit Ascendancy | Whispers of the Walkers, Plague of the Shattered)This was part of my effort this year to make a dent in my TBR pile. Holmes is good at structuring a narrative in a way that keeps me interested Continue reading

Books 2025: the DNF
I should no doubt start with an introductory post, but I’d rather jump straight in, so instead here is the first of seven posts discussing the books I’ve read this year. In total, I read 89 novels in 2025*. However, in the fashion of a countdown, I’m starting with the books I didn’t read, or Continue reading
