We now move into the discussion of Chapters XIII-XVII. I wanted to note that I am planning to participate but was busy reading Rhythm of War since it came out November 17, and then I noticed this book is rather expensive on Kindle and decided to order a physical copy due to the B2G1 free sale on Ama...

Did everyone watch the 'Winter is Coming' edition of AEW Dynamite?

Here's my 2020 wrapped. Didn't think that I really listened to Dragula that much. I also rediscovered Achtung Baby earlier this year and my listening to that album is probably what put U2 into my top 5 artists.

Finally finished The Road. After reading this I don't get the hype for this book at all. It would've been better if it was just a short story. The story really drags out with almost no substance. Just the same scenarios about searching for things over and over again.
