Hello all!
To get myself back into the swing of writing regularly, I am going to attempt to post some more casual blog entries approximately biweekly. These will include updates on what games I have been playing, books I have been reading, and any other interesting tidbits I have picked up recently that don't warrant a full post. Of course, these posts will be much more casual than usual.
First off, I would like to remind anyone who is not following me on social media that I do often tend to be more active on Twitter and Instagram, so please feel free to follow me there, as well as on the blog.
As of the beginning of the year, I have already beat three games, though I've spent the majority of my time on much longer games like Persona 5 (which I will beat eventually, I swear!) and Torchlight 2, which has recently come to PS4 (yay!). The three games I beat include, well, Uncharted 1, 2, and 3. Finally. After years of trying, and failing, to get into this series I finally decided to just run through them on easy mode, and I certainly found them to be more enjoyable than I thought they would be! I'm really excited to play the newer games in the series now!
As far as reading goes, I've been in a terrible slump. I hope to escape this slump, however, with the help of book challenges! One challenge I have joined is the #ARMEDWITHABINGO reading challenge. This challenge is, as the title suggests, a bingo card which suggests different types of books to read. See the graphic below and click the link for more information:

So far this year, I have only completed one book, but here's my dark secret: that's better than last year. My reading slump has been so genuinely terrible that I didn't complete any books last year. I started many, but was unable to complete any. The one book I completed so far this year was Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs -- one of my go-to authors when I need to fight my way out of a slump. I counted this on my bingo card as "A Book with Multiple POVs" as the story is told by two protagonists (see the bingo card at the bottom of this post). It was a rough book to get through at times due to the serious nature of the storyline, but thankfully it was engaging enough to start my journey out of the reading slump!
Thank you for sticking by me as I try to breathe some life back into this blog! If you want to see more activity from me, feel free to view/follow my social media accounts at Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads.
