Hello, friends! It is I, your favorite comic-reading game-playing tea-steeping hermit! This week, I read mainly graphic novels, and good ones at that. I also very much enjoyed playing board games about my favorite things: tea and role playing games. All the details about Chai are linked below if you're interested--not sponsored, just enthusiastic :)

(It says their Kickstarter launches March 17, but they've updated on Twitter that they're delaying the launch until May 2020.)

OPEN ME!
Hi friends! Maybe I should stop counting how many weeks of self isolation its been since it seems like well be doing this for the foreseeable future. What do you think? This week, Im really grateful to have an e-reader since its how Im getting most of my new books these days, mainly via the library. I also get a bit salty about close board game scores.

Hey everybody! Heres a quick recap of what I read for the latest Queer Lit Readathon, my progress on Make Your Myth-Taker, and an update on my new place.
ALSO, my city officially moved to a Modified Phase 1 of reopening, which for me, means that we are allowed to do some nonessential activities, like haircuts or shopping for things that arent food or medicine. Still keeping pretty distant from people, but we were able to go out and purchase some furniture for the new place.
