Hope all of you had a fantastic holiday. I got some games and I’ll be reviewing and talking about them soon. I recently played Orleans Stories and it’s a bag building game/worker placement (you put your workers in a bag and pull them to place.)

Friends, The holidays are upon us! What is happening?! I’m recovering from writing that ding-dang novel over the past month and I can finally start writing a bit more.

What I’ve Been Digging I’ve been watching Killing Eve Season 1 again. If you are looking for a great show that has tight writing and thrills, this is your winter jam.
