Look at this weird little guy! Still needs another arm and a little satchel to put all his old timey remedies in, but he's looking a lot less like a microphone now! #plaguedoctor #amigurumi #crochet
Considering I just watched a YouTube tutorial on how to crochet in May, I'm really happy with my progress. Neurodivergent hyperfocus is a fucking super power I swear. I find it a really good regulation tool and it turns out the movements mimic EMDR therapy which is cool too
Really happy with how this one is coming out. It's such a chunky yarn making this blanket feel really thick and cozy
4. A day of fallen night by Samantha Shannon I thoroughly enjoyed this, even though it took me a long time to get through it. I've had a lot going on in life that I've had to deal with and have had limited capacity to sink into books. But I think I enjoyed this one even more than priory #booksky
3. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Dragons, magic, pirates, politics, religion, lesbians and more dragons written across 4 POVs. I reallly liked this book hey. The middle third had me struggling to put it down, though the ending did feel a smidge rushed. #booksky
2. Among the Burning Flowers by Samantha Shannon (A moment to appreciate the sprayed edges) This standalone prequel was a great way to be introduced to a fantasy world without feeling lost. The Priory of the Orange Tree is a whopping 804pgs so this makes me feel less intimidated going in #booksky
2025's total was 24 books, averaging 2 a month. Will I read more or less this year? 1: From Below by Darcy Coates. A deep sea horror. I finished this one 13/1 and enjoyed it. I liked how it flicked between the time of the ship sinking, and the exploration of the newly found wreck #booksky
24. The Murder Rule by Dervla McTiernan A third year law student lies and manipulates her way into the innocence project, not to free their client, but to keep him in jail to protect her mother. I enjoyed this. It took me a little but once I got into it I struggled to put it down #booksky
23. The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley Written in a split timeline/multi POV style, a group of old friends who have all outgrown each other stay at a remote lodge in Scotland for New Years. One of them is murdered and secrets are slowly unraveled. I liked the short chapters and pacing #booksky
22. A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay A 14 y.o girl starts showing signs of either schizophrenia orrrr demon possession. Written from the POV of her 8 y.o sister as the family turns to the church (and by extension a reality tv show?) for guidance and an eventual exorcism. #booksky
21. My year of rest and relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh If the sound of a light coma sounds refreshing you might relate to the unnamed protagonist. Battling grief and depression, she finds an ethically questionable psychiatrist to prescribe any and all sleeping aids to pass a whole year #booksky
20. Vengeful by V. E Schwab Overall I enjoyed this duology (though not as much as I loved Schwab's Addie LaRue) Two sociopathic college students unlock the secret to developing superhuman powers, both believing themselves to be the hero of the story while also being serial killers? #booksky
19. Vicious by V. E Schwab I've been in a huuuuuge reading slump. My brain has been fried throughout a high stress period. But I finished this one a while ago and I'm half way through the second. Enjoying this duo far more than the shades of magic, but I will eventually complete that series too
Day 600 of trying to find a game already in my library that I can get obsessed with. Live on twitch with Odyssey
I kinda forgot about Uplay. This is what I have sitting in my library, are any of these absolute peak that I've been sleeping on orrr?
Live on twitch with the end of Bioshock remastered.. possibly starting the second one after. We'll see. Come keep me company Twitch.tv/raejayy
18. A gathering of shadows by V. E Schwab The second book of darker shade of magic. I like to hold my opinion on series until Ive completed them, so far I am enjoying these, buut am finding it a smidge over hyped. It's good, but hasn't put me in a chokehold like others have said .. yet. One left 👀
17. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood I finally feel ready to watch the show buuuut I couldn't do that without reading the book first. Felt uncomfortably possible given the trajectory the world is moving in. They've already taken away women's health and reproductive rights. #booksky
