thinking out loud, i suppose

I've gone through and updated my book wishlist for the first time in... a while, LOL. I removed some stuff I'm not sure about, and the more pricey stuff, and added some new things, and I'm a lot happier with it now! (Specifically I only actually got around to updating it because I haven't been able to find The Complete Smoke Trilogy by Tanya Huff anywhere other than Amazon. I don't get why my local retailers don't have it (they have other stuff by Huff!) (now I'm a bit nervous it's a scam, LMAO) so I thought I might as well add it to the list, and I overhauled the whole thing while I was at it.)

Also somebody please praise me; I have still not caved and purchased Baldur's Gate 3, even though it's on sale on Steam again. I'm holding out until the price drops below 50 bucks. (It's so close—but not yet. Just a little bit more! Like an 18% sale should do it!)

I'm feeling sick :( My throat is sore and I don't know why. Otherwise I'm fine. And my arthritis is acting up; all my joints feel about 300% stiffer and achier than they usually do (especially my right wrist). Anyway, I've been writing. As usual, LOL. Been reading lots lately (look out for my next reading round-up on [community profile] booknook, because it is going to be a lot) and ate some ice cream today because it is witheringly hot and it did sadly not help my throat. Oh well. It was tasty anyway!

Well done avoiding Baldur's Gate! You're holding strong and that's awesome!

Can you ask one of your local retailers if they can order the Complete Smoke Trilogy? If it's legit, I'd think they'd be able to get it for you, right?

Thank you! Baldur's Gate 3 seems like such a cool game, and like it's sucking everybody in and has been for a while, but I will hang on. (It's on sale for 51 euro at Steam right now, but my goal is no more than 50 bucks and I will hold strong. My budget needs this!)

Ooooh, I could request it at my library :D My last couple of requests got denied :( But that's no reason to stop trying!

Update: emailed my request to the library. Fingers crossed.
