It took a while but here are the most disappointing books I read in 2020. Not all of them were bad. Some of them were still decent reads (3 stars and all), but when your expectations aren't met, it leaves you disappointed anyway.

With 38 more days to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the fourth installment in a series of game by Bioware, I’ve found myself obsessing thinking about the companions we’ve been given, and just how desperate I am to cultivate a relationship with them. From Neve Gallus, to Lucanis Delamorte, to Emmrich Volkarin, to Taash, to Bellara Lutare, to Davrin, and Lace Harding.
I’m really excited for the return of the gifting mechanic and that is what birthed this video, with me just talking aboutt he gifts I hope we find somewhere in the world, that I would love to gift these characters who have a hold on my heart.

#emilyinparis #netflix
With the second half of Emily in Paris season 4 dropping in about two weeks, I decided it was time to finally take the plunge and check out this show. And my thoughts on it, were quite different from what Id expected, especially as it concerns the characters of Emily, Camille, and Sylvie, and their many affairs.
