the very secret society of irregular witches special edition

I have pet monsters and a farm and love interests and I get to go on quests! Best. I played so much Littlewood, then Graveyard Keeper, and now I’m deep into Rune Factory 5. Then we restarted Terraria for the umpteenth time because why not?īut we also bought Steam Decks this year, which was a splurge, and suddenly, we could not only play all the games we already owned on PC, but we could also easily play single player games while still hanging out together on the couch. This year, we spent the most time in V Rising, No Man’s Sky, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, all of which we loved. M and I typically play a lot of video games, usually co-op games on PC where we can play together. Any of these would be excellent gifts for a reader in your life!Īnd if you’re looking for books about badass space princesses, close-knit bounty hunters, or rogue queens, I’ve also got you covered! ) Games

Legends & Lattes felt like a hug in book form, perfect for fantasy fans, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was absolutely jam-packed with found family feels and a simmering romance. Fated Blades might not seem cosy on the surface, but a book from Ilona and Gordon is always a gift, and they manage to combine action and emotion in a way that rivets me to the page, so I’m counting it.ĭance with the Devil is maybe more cathartic than cosy-a found family working together to take down a tyrannical government-but it’s my list, so I’m counting it, too. And most of the books I have read have been in the last six months, once my brain was far enough out of the deadline haze to focus. Reading this year has been very hit and miss for me, and while Goodreads assures me I’ve read forty-six books, it doesn’t feel like it, because there are probably that many or more just languishing on my Kindle, partially read. I try to keep my book rec page updated throughout the year, with varying levels of success, but I wanted to call out four of my very faves, in no particular order: Legends & Lattes, Fated Blades, Dance with the Devil, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Here are some of my favorites from the year, with fair warning that there is definitely recency bias because the first half of the year was kind of a deadline blur. It’s me, I’m someone, and I’m looking for gift ideas. That way, if someone is looking for a last-minute gift, there will be some options! With the holidays just around the corner (hoooooow?), I thought I’d make a little post with some of my favorite things from the year, then ask you all to share your faves, too.
