BLOGS. Now there's a word I haven't heard in a while. Anybody else have favorites? Is Book Riot good anymore, or has it also devolved into listicles and pop ups?

As a result of this social media shift, I’ve started following some book blogs again for the first time in almost a decade.

Reached the end of my game with my persuasive, deceptive high elf rogue assassin/swords bard. I think Visenya was my favorite Baldur's Gate 3 character I've made and played as so far.

"THE SERPENT & THE WINGS OF NIGHT was a strange, frustrating book for me. It had such potential and there were a couple of things I loved about it, but other than the beginning and ending, I found it uninteresting." My review: www.fantasybookcafe.com/2024/06/revi...

Highly recommended!
