Get Rich(er) Sleeping – Investing 101 by Jaspreet Singh
Full Disclosure: This is going to be the shortest review to date because this will be the first time I’m coming across a topic I don’t really care about.
This will be a really short blog post. Why?
Well, since I’ve been writing blogs posts (gaming & book reviews) every day for a good spell (two weeks or so), I don’t have a whole lot to say for this week. Furthermore, I’m working on the details of a 2019 project as we speak revolving around a common denominator with me. I don’t want to talk about it, right now, but I will once everything is ironed out on a preliminary level.
Not this week, though. This week is about spending time with my family and mates. Be sure to do the same, okay? “All work and no play will make you a dull person.” haha
Be safe and be blessed!!!
Please, don’t forget to follow me on my social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads) which are on the right side of my web page. Also, I do love hearing suggestions of what books to read outside of my norm (Science fiction and fantasy) as I am a part of the Goodreads’ reading challenge for 2018.
A Question of Will by Alex Albrinck
As stated at the beginning of my blogs, bio, and almost every social media platform, I love science fiction. The genre is so vast and diverse in its approaches to a rather boring school subject (yes, I’m not that fond of science and, yes, I can see the irony). But one of the topics that science can’t seem to get a solid grasp on happens to be one of my favorite topics: time travel. And, the Aliomenti Saga series explore this topic in a conventional way.
All I Want by Stella Starling
Christmas has a funny sort of magic that even the most spoiled of human beings are susceptible to. Vulnerability and openness are commonly explored around such a holiday in a book and this little beauty is no exception. All I Want is a lovely book by a beautiful woman that is clearly an LGBTQ+ ally or member.
Charmed Season 9 & 10 series by Zenescope Comics
In 1998, I was bewitched at a really young age by a marvelous fantasy drama called Charmed. Well, technically, I started to watch Charmed in high school. The show was bold for its time as the leading characters consisted of women and the first primetime television show about a coven of witches. Plus, as a kid, it was also really cool to see how duty and responsibility can really have a toll on a person. It gave me something to think about as I was raised by a multitude of feminists. So, you imagine how heartbroken I was when it ended and ecstatic that it was revived as a comic book series.
Conversational Hypnosis: A Manual of Indirect Suggestion by Carol Sommer
Have you ever noticed in a salesman’s job that they know how to meticulous when speaking? It’s like they’re choosing words very carefully for the most desirable outcome. What about therapists? If you spoke to a therapist, you may notice that they are really good at putting their patients in a state of calm, or complacently. Even better, have you ever read a book and can’t seem to put it down. There’s a reason for that and pretty interesting as it can be summed up to two words: conversational hypnosis.
Game Design: Principles, Practice, and Techniques – The Ultimate Guide for the Aspiring Game Designer by Jim Thompson, Barnaby Berbank-Green & Nic Cusworth
There’s a common misconception about Game Designers: they don’t just make the game and go on about their business. They are usually taking the lead behind the director and producer of the project. Because of this, they are doing the brute of the writing and planning for the game before everybody else have to do their part…can you say programmers? ha ha! Also, people don’t seem to understand what being a game designer actually entails. THAT’S the purpose of this book.
Well, I cried this week…
It wasn’t a big one; it was more of a sobbing fit. Unfortunately, it was enough for people to notice. I don’t like crying because I have it locked in my brain that “men don’t cry; men don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves because it makes them look weak.” But, today…today was the day that I couldn’t keep it all in anymore.
Finally…FINALLY…FINALLY!!! I’M FINALLY GETTING A NINTENDO SWITCH!!! In the words of Prishe, from Final Fantasy XI: “It’s about damn time!” My older brother is taking me to Delaware to avoid the tax (we’re cheap like that. Haha!) I know I’m a year, or so, late but there’s a semi-good reason for it…
Another week has gone by as I work on various things on both work and career. Now, this week was a bit slow but still packed quite a punch. Well…a rather big punch. I would like to call it a hyper combo. There has been nothing but good news circulating around me and I’m so proud of two people. I have to shout it out for the whole world to hear!!!
