Read

Remarkably Bright Creatures, Shelby Van Pelt

• I am really enjoying this book, but it is taking me much longer to finish than I expected. It’s not the type of escapist book I turn to when I need to turn my brain off after a long day.

Listen

Wake Forest Chamber Choir

• My alma mater’s chamber choir came to town, and I’m excited to say I got to see them! It really made me want to listen to more choir music. I was a founding member in this choir, and it was wonderful to be reminded what a unique sound choirs offer.

Play

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

• This is where I have been spending my time after work. It’s a great escapist game, if you like sword fighting adventure role playing games.

• Oh my goodness, while I was gathering links for this post, I discovered that a sequel to this game is expected to release later this year! KCD is a 4 out of 5 stars for me so far, so I’ll definitely be checking out the next one, too.

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist | Dungeons & Dragons

• I joined a friend’s ongoing campaign, and the group is in Waterdeep. My character is a half-Aarakocran cleric, and I am having a great time. She’s a chickadee Aarakocra, doesn’t need to blink, and carries a warhammer. She shares a room with an over 6-foot-tall cat-person. Again, having a great time.

My character, Aerallis. But imagine she has bird eyes and feathers. AI can only do so much.
