Game of the week ABZÛ by Giant Squid
"From the art director of Journey®, ABZÛ is a beautiful underwater adventure that evokes the dream of diving. Immerse yourself in a vibrant hidden world bursting with color and life as you descend into the heart of the ocean. But beware as you swim deeper as dangers lurk in the depths."
First off: an apology to Fashion Potato and Cookie, longtime viewers who are thalassophobic and will absolutely not be able to watch this game.
But I've still had this on my radar to play for ages. And it's summertime so let's do it! And hope that it's a little less weird than NORCO was last week!

Crouton (the cat) really seemed to like me.
Should I keep petting the cat?

Book I'm reading this week The Untold Story by Genevieve Cogman
"In this thrilling historical fantasy, time-traveling Librarian spy Irene will need to delve deep into a tangled web of loyalty and power to keep her friends safe.
Irene is trying to learn the truth about Alberich-and the possibility that he's her father. But when the Library orders her to kill him, and then Alberich himself offers to sign a truce, she has to discover why he originally betrayed the Library.
With her allies endangered and her strongest loyalties under threat, she'll have to trace his past across multiple worlds and into the depths of mythology and folklore, to find the truth at the heart of the Library, and why the Library was first created."
Final book (for now) of the Library series. This has been very needed fluff the past few weeks. Silly dragon fairy library fluff. No regrets.
So far, I've read 35 of my 52 books for the year.
