Another year has passed, and I’ve enjoyed lots of different varieties and kinds of media throughout it. In a perfect world, I would want to write a full blog post on each of the things mentioned here, but in this annoyingly imperfect world with silly limitations like 24 hours in a day and the need for sleep, this will do. I hope you enjoy this little collection of things, and maybe even find something you want to pick up yourself. Happy New Year! : )

Reading “The Starless Sea” is like watching an intricately put-together puzzle unfold and reveal its workings. There are stories within stories, fables, bits, and quotes, all of which initially seem unrelated, but weave in and out of each other, enhancing, revealing, exploring, detailing various facets of the story and its characters. It’s amazingly written, and so fun to explore! It took me a bit to get going, but once it got going, every new story, every context-switch went from “Huh?” to “Ooh, I wonder where this fits in!” – And you can try to guess those parts as well; to connect the dots yourself : D

The Fifth Season is set in a world where major tectonic activity almost never ceases. Every couple of hundred years or so, there is an extinction-level event. The book explores what society and civilisation and everything would look like in a world like that. Which is an interesting setting! But also intense.

Glove80 is an ergonomic split contoured keyboard designed and produced by MoErgo. I backed the Kickstarter just over a year ago and got the parcels Friday afternoon. I haven’t yet had a chance to look at them, so without further ado, let’s see how it is!
