Okay, imagine that you’ve been hired (or coerced) into executing a high stakes heist for a magical artifact. Which book characters would you choose to make up your heist squad? I’ll share the books that I chose characters from – can you guess which characters and why I chose them? I mean, before you read the rest of the post and find out hahaha.

Hi friends! Are any of you video gamers in addition to being readers? I follow some other great bloggers who talk both books and video games, such as Caitlin at Realms of My Mind, and Kirsten at Video Games as Literature. Go check them out!

I came to video games late in life, since my parents weren’t big on them. I mostly game on my Nintendo Switch, but I’ve watched my boyfriend play quite a few games on the PlayStation (4 and 5). There are tons of games that have really great storylines and characters, and a lot of them make me want a book adaptation haha. And vice versa, I’ve read a lot of books that I think would make really interesting games! That inspired me to do a post all about pairing video games and books that have similar themes, settings, characters, etc. Sooo yeah that’s what I’m doing today! I hope you enjoy this post, it was fun to write and combine two of my hobbies.

Yet another round of the Pondathon II has come and gone! Which means that yes, it is time for another round summary. We had some excellent rewards this time – including snowdrops and vegetables!! My garden is getting so full lol. So let’s get to it!

Yes, it is in fact my birthday! Happy birthday me! I’ve decided to make a tradition of doing this tag each year, to see how my answers change. This tag is from Antonia @ Always Books, and you can find my 2021 edition (here) and my 2020 edition (here).

Hello friends! Round 2 of the Pondathon II readathon is now over, so it’s time for a wrap up! I felt a little slumpy this round, so I didn’t read quite as much as in the first round. But I read some great books and really enjoyed them all! But before I tell you what I read, let’s see what the quests and rewards were for this round.
