An action-packed DnD adventure that actually has a lot going on, while at the same time feels like drinking your morning tea/coffee on the veranda.

The way they both started to learn the other’s native tongue, through pantomime and hand gestures, the way Ping explained some letters and James visually illustrated it … Beautiful.

Let Them Trade is a real time strategy trading game with a hex-tiled map design, think the board game Catan. You build cities, set up trade routes and send your knights to go scout new lands. I only got to play the demo in the press release which is essentially the game’s tutorial. It wasn’t…

I lava all the scareverse monsters in the background, and Ghoulia’s zombie language which consists of moans and groans. And, of corpse, the bootiful monster puns.

A hidden gem. Didn’t expect the inside to be in the same beautiful colorful art as the cover! Surely is a very unique artstyle and quite mesmerizing to look at. The color palette as well as the designs are just hypnotic and fit the vibe of the world so well! Even though it plays around…

The back cover of the book on the left. Text: "Copyrighted Material. The introduction of Window and Mirror begins with a question: What are we doing here? The emphasis is on both the doing and the place. Ted Virts' poetry collection meanders through life experiences with story, blessing, myth, and the day-to-day realities of pain, delight, humor, and wonder. Virts explores life with an undercurrent of curiosity, faith, emotion, loss, hope, acceptance, and presence. His poems link tragedy at the southern U.S. border, the death of his father, the constant plea for political donations, the nightly news, and a description of Christmas as an artichoke. The link? The sacredness of everyday life." "So many poignant poems here stop me in my tracks. inviting me to be deeply present with what is offered, and to carry that invitation to situations I contend with beyond the author's reach." -CAROL BARRETT, Ph.D.. author of Reading Wind and Pansies atmospherepress.com "ISBN 9798891325951 90000 Copyrighted Material 9798891 325951" On the right, the front book cover. There's a brown rectangle frame that shows a painting of an outdoor street which has an round archway showing the blue sky. There's a red carpet spread out, leading from the bottom of the frame towards the middle of the picture. Text: "WINDOW AND MIRROR POETRY BY TED VIRTS"

A great collection of poems
that remind us
poetry doesn’t have to be rhyming,
one only needs to know
the art of language,
and how to weave the words
in a way
that touches the reader’s soul.

On the left, the back cover. Text from top to bottom: "From Eisuke Naito (director) + Shuzo Oshimi comes the new horror film (character designer). TOXIC DAUGHTER. DEBUTS APRIL 5, 2024 AT THE SHINJUKU WALD 9 AND NATIONWIDE*! *Not currently available in English." "Chi will never allow this home to be happy. STORY: Moving into a single-family house with her husband and daughter Moeka seems like the start of a dream come true for Hagino, who did not grow up in a happy home. But one day. while Hagino is out, she gets a call from Moeka, desperately pleading for help. Hagino rushes back to find her house trashed and Moeka, her clothes in tatters, being straddled by an unfamiliar girl clutching a large pair of scissors. The girl's name: Chi. She had once lived in that house, but was thought to have left town after causing a certain incident. Now she's back to draw out the poison hiding beneath this seemingly happy family's façade and send them into a living nightmare." "Starring: Aimi Satsukawa Sera Uehara Himena Irei Terunosuke Takeza Directed by: Eisuke Naito "Chi" Character Design by: Shuzo Oshimi Screenplay by: Eisuke Naito and Naruki Matsuhisa Score by: Hisashi Arita Executive Producers: King Records and The Klockworx Distributed by: The Klockworx Toxic Daughter website"": https://dokumusume.com/ Toxic Daughter on X (formerly Twitter)**: @dokumusume_eiga **Japanese-language only" On the right, the front cover. Chi-Chan, the titular character, is seen drawn with a grey pencil, whereas her robe is in a bright red. Her long hair goes beyond the page. She's holding a large scissors and looking warily to the reader. Many X's in red of grey cover the rest of the image, while the background is white. Text: "TOXIC DAUGHTER CHI-CHAN.

The blurb sounded really cool – dark. It does start pretty unhinged and like the beginning of a slowly creeping horror story, but then focuses a bit (too much for my taste) on a hetero romance and I wanted to barf. However, I had a bad feeling about the guy’s trying-too-hard-to-be-good vibe from the beginning…

Overall cool idea, and a nice twist on the red string of fate – blue string for sexual partners, and black string for murder/victim.
