Wonderful, Relaxing Game
A friend suggested Stardew Valley to me because I love the Harvest Moon game series. I was hooked in right away. I chose my farm (you can choose from five different farms) and went from there. It was very easy to get into and the characters in the game are interesting. It is so clear where the nods to Harvest Moon are, but it is also its own thing too. I love that I don't have to just farm, I can fight monsters in the mines, or go fishing. You can make friends with the villagers and you can romance the available love interest of your choice. I also loved the festival days you can attend in the game because they are so much fun. I just wish the days weren't 24 hours, because they go by very quickly and sometimes it feels like there isn't enough time to do everything. It definitely makes you plan out your days however, so you have to think carefully about what you want to do and who you want to romance. I'm on my second playthrough of the game with a different farm and I'm still enjoying it and having so much fun with it. Stardew Valley is a great chill out game that offers a lot of fun.

Great And Relaxing Game
In Verdant Skies you are playing as a colonist on another planet. You have to plant crops, forage, fish, and help build a colony. Think Stardew Valley in space. If you like games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon you will enjoy this game. There is a lot of exploration, building, and of course building friendships and romances with your fellow colonists. You can take your time with the game. There's a very relaxed vibe and you can do tasks for others, farm, clone animals like space cows, and help to build and grow your colony. There is wonderful diversity and representation among the characters and it is easy to see how much love, thought, and care went into this game. It is a lot of fun to play and there is a lot to do in it as well.

A very odd mix of stories that feature a harvest moon and only the first by Lackey fits the cover, of which makes me think of fairies and moonbeams.
Overall: <b>3.5 stars</b>

<i>A Tangled Web</i> by Mercedes Lackey (Light Fantasy)
A retelling of the Greek myth pertaining to Persephone and Hades, with some added Norse mythology. A cute story, if a little thin on actual plot. I'll probably forget it by next week.
<i>2.5 stars/5</i>

<i>Cast in Moonlight</i> by Michelle Sagara (Fantasy/Urban Fantasy hybrid)
Fascinating mythology and world-building, intriguing characters and races. If I hadn't already been interested in reading the Chronicles of Elantra series, this would have done it. Pretty much a perfect story that stands alone quite well.
<i>5 stars</i>

<i>Retribution</i> by Cameron Haley (Urban Fantasy)
A solid short story dealing with a sorcerer and enforcer for a mob boss. Has some interesting ideas and is a promising beginning to a new series. While it does have cursing, it feels authentic and fits the scenes and characters. This is definitely not a story for the faint of heart.
<i>3 stars</i>

So addictive
This game is soooo addictive! Bought it for the PS4 and Xbox One and also most recently for the PS Vita now since it’s recent port onto the handheld system.

It’s a super chilled out game with the ability to craft, level up, build, farm and interact with NPCs in a variety of quests and side missions.

If you are a fan of games such as Harvest Moon, Terraria, Minecraft, Animal crossing, etc. then this is a must for your collection.

My only down point is the fact that the days don’t last long in game so if you are away from your house late at night and don’t get back in time, you pass out and lose some money; especially if you get carried away mining!

It’s got a hell of a lot to complete so it won’t be a game that you complete in a day, week or even a month.

It’s usually always on sale, particularly on the Playstation store so you’ll be able to get it for an amazing price.

Give it a try but be warned, once you get into the mechanics of the game, you SHALL be addicted!

Album Favorite

"The Future came out at around the same moment I discovered Maria Callas, and I got into it somewhat, but it was really Martha who was affected most by that record when it was released, along with a few of my friends. I could see it having its effect on the world around me. But I didn't really understand it for a long time, and then years later when we did the Leonard Cohen tribute shows in Australia, which were filmed for the I'm Your Man film, I really started looking at his material, and I realised that record was so seminal in his career. It was really when he became Leonard Cohen, in a lot of ways, in terms of how he ended up. I can pinpoint that transition as a useful guide in terms of my own career, where you hit a certain age and you have to kind of reinvent yourself – not totally, but you have to settle into a theme, and Leonard really did that with The Future so successfully. I think there's other albums that do that: Paul Simon with Graceland, Neil Young with Harvest Moon, so that's what I admire the most about that record."
