Oh boy. #AdjustmentDay - a disorienting, disturbing & funny read. Lots of flip flopping b/w storylines & easter egg/references to dig out & I loved every bit of it. The #satire is strong, but hits uncomfortably close to home in the crazy ass timeline we're living in. #booksky #underrated #palahniuk

Well this got weird. I like the meta direction this went, and the "the character" #StephenKing was fun and funny - the journal entries were a nice break from the central story too. #SureFireSoulEnsemble delivers the sounds to match the pre-00s world. #booksky #bookseries #fictionfriday #darktower

This was so fun! Reading about the background of the #Scream franchise, it all makes sense why the series never quite felt like your average #horror, and why it still feels relevant today. Big respect to #WesCraven too, he sounds like an awesome boss.

Anyone play #StrangeHorticulture before? Made the mistake of trying it out over a quick break instead of reading, and now I can't stop playing. Quick break has now gone on for more than an hour. Not what I expected - sounded boring, and now I'm addicted. #videogame #cozygame #gamerlife #Steam

Carving out reading time at work is helping me take proper lunches rather than eat at my desk. I didn't expect book 6 to jump right in and pick up exactly where we left off in #5, especially since #5 had a whole other storyline open the first 1/4 of the book. #booksky #darktower #stephenking

Great book but I'm drained given the state of things in the americas. Funny how US foreign intervention actions remain the same over and over, yet we're somehow shocked each time they take sketchy unilateral action 🤷♀️ #Mettavolution energy kept my spirits up thru #Shadowplay . #booksky #booksandmusic

I've developed another addition that'll be disruptive to my reading progress. I'm late to this hobby but physical games really do feel so good in the hand after all the video gaming and screen time. Super excited to dive into #Onirim and #Tranquility.

Kicking the year off: #InvisibleCities feels like wandering the streets of every city I've visited & of my imagination. #Shadowplay adds the fuel to my ever burning fire for the #Balkans. Speaker with no music bc I need my full focus to soak this all in.

Seems mildly unhealthy but I'll be entertaining myself to the max until the new year. #HollowKnight might kill any last shred of productivity I have. Hope the season is treating everyone well. #Scrooged #Ghibli #TheAeneid #ReadingTheClassics #TisTheSeason #CasioCTS1 #booksky

Really liked the format of #Antwerp - stories of quirky figures (not necessarily famous ones), their life/contributions/scandal building the everyday scene around them. A bit Dickensian.
Chaotic #LifeofPablo matched the pace of the 1500s in the book. #booksky #nonfiction #booksandcoffee #history

Took this one on a little trip & giggled the whole flight. The subtle observational-humor in describing historical, cultural and political info made everything so memorable. I need more Ben Coates in my reading life. Onwards to Antwerp.

Loving the story-telling style of this sort-of-history book so far. 🇳🇱 Bit of an odd combo - backdrop of the idyllic Dutch towns with calming windmills against the roar of Bruce Dickinson. Northern Europe theme to both I guess.

The feeling of missing the people/times that have passed was so beautifully captured in this book. I feel deeply nostalgic for the good old days with my friends.
Had some "travel" tunes to go with Tsukuru on his pilgrimages to see his pals.

Started Colorless Tsukuru thinking it might be a slow burn, but every time I pick it up for a few chapters I get pulled deep into, and then I'm distracted, thinking about it all day. Let's see if how much progress I can get through before work.

Actually, looking back, I can't blame Main Street on slow reading, it was hard to focus on because there were too many weird and beautiful things around to look at instead. #utrecht #antwerp #ghent #wanderlust

My oh my, at last I've finished #MainStreet. Story didn't feel out of place, despite being written in the 1920s - very much Real Housewives vibe but set in small towns 🤣. I usually enjoy #SinclairLewis, but this one took more effort (& a lot of bevvies).

Needed to inject a little spice in my reading as Main Street is feeling a bit ho-hum (which I think is the point). I'm breezing through #FromHereToEternity, a look at death rituals & traditions. I'm finding it beautiful & not grim at all despite the artwork here.

Reading while drinking #Delirium is perhaps not the most practical. Since the 1st one was so good, and my brain was still working after, I went for a 2nd soon after & it hit like a ton of bricks- #Belgians don't mess around. Also, book isn't exactly exhilarating to be fair... #booksky #booksandbeer

Reading a small town americana tale while traversing quaint 🇧🇪 towns feels a bit off. New goal: finish #MainStreet quickly so I can hit up some used bookshops for a new read.

I may have gone a little overboard with my devices. Haven't even glanced at the Switch since I started playing old school classics with these. Now the hard part: I'll need to pick one, and only one for the next trip.

The before & after - started #TheBookOfGuilt on crisp, well tucked hotel bed, finished it thrashing around in anxiety. Based on the cover I thought this would be a relaxing story set in the countryside, was I ever wrong 🤣. What a weird, thrilling ride. #booksky #thriller #fiction #notwhatiexpected

Do I read or do I game? #Danubia is queued up, but #Pokemon Fire Red is here too...
Also love a fake beach setting in the middle of concrete land.

Autocracy Inc was a lot to digest. After that one and The Godfather I need a break from the serious stuff, so starting my #Pokemon journey with Fire Red. Never played these before. A kid recommended I start with this one. I hope I don't suck. #powkiddy #retrogames #retrohandheld #videogames #gba

Still not done with this book. #TheGodfather is taking longer than expected, but I've also been very distracted by these beautiful streets. Amazing coffee from Bernice, also, the canal nearby seems like somewhere where an enemy of the Corleone's might be dumped...
