So another week has gone by, and I’ve been not feeling quite okay, I’ve been sniffly and quick to tire the last weeks, and it’s been generally not that great, which also means that stuff like reading has been slower than normal, hopefully it will get better some time, because it doesn’t really seem like it wants to let go. That, combined with the weather being rather shitty the last days has made things a bit annoying, but hopefully things will be better this week.

Books

I was really enjyoing The Torid Affair by Laurann Dohner, it is one of the books in the series that I have enjoyed the most so far. The characters were fun, and it felt different enough from the others that it was a joy. I kind of had to really make an effort to not just jump on to the next one in the series, generally I try to keep some others in between, since I get burned out on reading the same series in a go most of the time. I’ll read a couple of other books before I jump back in again with the last one I have of the series.

I then started Ruth’s Bonded by V.C. Lancaster, this is one that has that very stereotypical romance cover that makes people feel embarrased, but by now I’ve learnt to basically ignore the covers, what really counts is what is inside, and that’s more fun I think. I’m a bit over half way through, since this is a rather short one, and so far at least it has been a fun story.

Games

It’s been a rather quiet week when it comes to gaming as well, since I’ve not really had that much energy, I haven’t been playing that many games either.

But I did manage to finish Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, now I did only get the bad ending, but I don’t really feel like doing the things that I need to do to get the better ones, at least not now, maybe some other time, but at least I finally got to finish this game, that I’ve worked on for a while already, that means that I have finished two of the three games in the castlevania advanced collection, and I will see if I maybe do finish the last of them too, but not for now, I found circle of the moon to be a bit too difficult for me, but maybe if I do a complete run from the beginning again I will be there enough to do it.

After the first castlevania game I went directly to another one Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, this one from the Dominus collection, I have finished dawn of sorrow, but this one and order of ecclesia I still have left to play, I did have a save that was farther in, but I decided to start fresh since I on the other save softlocked myself out of being able to finish some quests since I sold items that are needed, this time I have decided just to not sell anything, so that I don’t lock myself out. I really enjoy the gameplay of this one, and I think having the different enemies drop stuff instead of souls is more fun for me. Just got to the third painting in this one so far, so I still have ways to go before I get back to where I were, but I’m having fun with it.

I’m also still having fun with Pokémon: Lazarus it’s quite amazing how manu fun things they added to this game, there are fishing like in Star dew valley, with the possibility of getting items in addition to pokemon. I haven’t really made that much progress, but have caught 80 pokemon, and done 3 gyms so far.

Media

I’m getting dangerously close to having gotten through the backlog of videogame podtisim, it will be sad to be through, as it has been a good place for listening when I’m empty of new episodes, but we’ll see, maybe I’ll find something elso to listen to in those places, but at least it will be a couple of months with 33 unlistened episodes before I get there.
