Game of the week ABZÛ or NORCO or APICO
I'm going to revisit one of the games from the last three weeks that I didn't play enough of - either ABZÛ or NORCO or APICO.
Because apparently I'm on a roll with picking ecofriendlyish games with short titles that all seem like they're yelling at me or something.
If you have a preference, let me know in the Discord or on the stream when I start it up. I'm game for any of 'em this morning.

Book I'm reading this week Trip to the Pumpkin Farm: A Branches Book by Rebecca Elliott
"Eva's class cannot wait for their field trip to the pumpkin farm! On the farm, they pick apples, milk cows, and even make new friends. But then an award-winning pumpkin goes missing! Eva and her friends will have to solve the mystery. Will they find the pumpkin in time for the holiday party... and also help a friend in need? In this sweet fall story, Eva discovers that everyone has something to be thankful for!"
This is legitimately the most recent book I've read.
Someone please spare me from the Rebecca Elliott books. Our child loves them. They're fine the first five times.
Then...not so much.
So far, I've read 35 of my 52 books for the year.
