sometimes I feel guilty and read non-fantasy/scifi fiction and that’s not the right mindset

CW: gun violence/shooter Honestly? I might have rounded this up because I felt a bit guilty for constantly reading fantasy/sci-fi books. The conditioning is strong, my friends, that tells you what is and isn’t considered “literature.” I’m sure the same sort of view is there for people who do/don’t find gaming a “real skill” or “worthwhile hobby.” I see a number of reviews which tie interest in this novel to your interest in gaming as an industry or a pastime. I’m not sure I necessarily […]

“What is a game?” Marx said. “It’s tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It’s the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”

If this doesn’t make my top ten books of the year, I’ll eat something inedible. My cat does it all the time, how hard can it be? This book sucked my entire being into it while I was reading it, and I was a brainless husk just turning pages while my brain was flopping around in there having a grand old time. Sorry if that sounds gross but that’s what happened! I can’t change the facts! This is a book about friendship, love, and video […]

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is the tale of the friendship between Sam Masur, later Mazer, and Sadie Green, video game-designers, business-partners, and two-thirds of the founders of Unfair Games. It was video games that brought the unlikely pair into each other’s lives to begin with. Sam is recovering from a car accident that killed his mother and permanently damaged his foot while Sadie is visiting her cancer-patient older sister when the two begin gaming in the hospital’s game room. Years later, after some bumps […]

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is a pure delight. The best book I have read all year, and now one of my favorites ever. Zevin is the author of one of my other favorite books of all time, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, I was so excited to hear about this book especially when I discovered it was about video game designers. The story starts when Sam and Sadie meet in a play area in a hospital. Sam is undergoing treatment […]

Bingo square – Font – Hella cool font Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow reminded me a ton of one of my favorite TV shows, Halt and Catch Fire. It examines human relationships and heartbreak and how we use games to cope with and process our lives. I completely fell in love with both the main characters Sam and Sadie and didn’t get that sometimes itchy feeling I get when the perspective changes and I wish I was with a different character. Zevin digs really deeply […]

A Beautiful Dropkick to the Heart

Alias is one of those tv shows that I just missed. Never really thought about it until 15 years after it debuted. I knew people watched it, I knew it was a thing, but I didn’t watch it. This summer, though, I started checking out all of the Alias DVDs at the library on a whim. Since then, I’ve become something of a Jennifer Garner completionist. This coincided nicely with my quest to become a Timothy Olyphant completionist. They co-starred in a rom-dramedy (?) called […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
