Music Monday : Hello 2021!

 I know very little in the world at large has changed other than the number at the end. But there is a bit of excitement at crossing over the line into another year. Ages go up, and there's a lot of unknown factors to think about.

I know  that I may sound a bit perplexed, and I am, I am having trouble staying focused. I am hoping to find a way to be better. I want to share the new year with you all. 

But right now all I can do is hope that I will have the chance to.

Music Monday : Last Monday of 2020

 To be fair, it felt like 2020 was never going to end. A lot of the problems that we have had this year are not going to be going away as we enter 2021, but maybe we will see some new growth or changes that may be positive. We can hope at least.

The music that I'm choosing for this week, most of it is different music that I've bumped into while listening to Spotify at work. I've added some of the songs to a playlist on there that I listen to when I can because it brings me enjoyment, and helps with my anxiety. Silly I guess, but at this point I'll take help in any form that I can get.

Anyway, I hope your week goes well, and that you are safe and healthy in the new year. 

Be You.

On Screen : Additions to The Film Library

 We've had an interesting year. This past month we did add a number of films to our personal library, and we're looking forward to watching them. Many of them aren't high grossing films, but they're things to watch and have a change of pace.

These are the new additions, which will be integrated to the film collection page when I have time to add them. An interesting mix of animation, Horror, and comedy. Definitely excited to watch some of this stuff.

Music Monday : It's almost Over

 2020 and the holiday season are both almost over. It's been a rough year. It doesn't really look like it's going to get any better either. But what we can do is have hope that things will start to feel a little less stressful over the next few months.

I hope you're safe. I Hope you're healthy. I hope you have a reason to smile. Be safe this week and enjoy the holiday with the ones you love.

Off The Shelf : Nice Dragons Finish Last

It's been a while since I posted a fresh book review. You've been getting a number of posts from the old blog, and while I should feel slightly sorry for that, I don't. I'm trying to keep things rolling, and it's not easy. But today we have a freshly finished read to share. So I'm tickled about that.

Nice Dragons Finish Last
by Rachel Aaron
287 Pages
(I read the digital edition)

I read this book after having it recommended to me by a friend. I've been having trouble being able to stay focused on a book long enough to finish one. Yes I've read a few short stories, but novel of any kind have been a struggle. Partially due to stress, but that's not what we're supposed to be looking at today.

This is a light read with a recommended age range of 13-18. While there are some references to adult activities, I don't feel they are so out of place to require a warning about them.
