Editor’s Recommendation:
Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld” book series is the perfect thing to get completely absorbed in. With over 40 books in the series, spanning different timelines and groups of characters, there is always somewhere new to explore on the Discworld.
The series takes place in a fantasy world on a disc shaped planet that rests on the back of a giant turtle who is flying through space. “Discworld” is filled with wizards, adventures, Death and more. The series even contains books explaining the science behind the exciting and complex world.
With so much in the “Discworld” series to explore, it’s worth it to give it a try and check it out.
Editor’s Disparagement:
I recently bought the popular strategy game “This War of Mine.” The game is set in a modern day besieged city, where survivors inside must search for supplies, eat and avoid sniper fire from enemies outside the city limits.
While the game is challenging and sometimes fun, the harsh realism and dark art style make for a unenjoyable experience. There’s a difference between playing a dark game and playing a game that just puts you in a terrible mood for the rest of the day.
The art style also focuses primarily on the color black, which gave me a headache after a while.
If you’re in the mood to feel terrible, “This War of Mine” is for you. Otherwise, almost any other game is happier.

been the quintessential holiday song for me. A tradition my mom and I have is that when we decorate our Christmas tree with ornaments and lights, we play Nat King Cole’s holiday album on the radio. Obviously, it’s a song that some people may consider to be overdone due to how many different artists have covered it, but the mellow tone and instrumental background of this particular version has always had a huge impact for me. Whenever I hear it, I always think of being at home with my mom in our living room and how happy that makes me.
