Far Shore – by Traci L. Slatton

Far Shore is the third book in the After series. I highly recommend that you read Fallen (the first book in the series) and Cold Light (the second book in the series) before diving into Far Shore.

This book picks up not too long after the second book left off. I get the feeling it might be only a few months later. The post-apocolyptic world is still plagued with deadly mists that dissolve almost everything in their path.

At first, it appears that Emma has found some stability, but this changes quickly. She has to make some tough decisions, yet again. This time, however, her choices require her to give up everything she loves (but not at the same time).

Flight Rising: Granite Guardian

The Granite Guardian was the holiday Familiar for the 2015 Rockbreaker’s Ceremony. Each of the holiday festivals are connected to a particular Dragon Flight. The Rockbreaker’s Ceremony celebrates the Earth Flight.

The 2015 Rockbreaker’s Ceremony took place during the last week of November of 2015. If you didn’t obtain the Granite Guardian during the festival, your best chance to get one could be on the Auction House. All of the artwork in this post is copyright of Flight Rising.

Season Journey Chapter IV (Season 4)

completed-chapter-4-objectives

Season 4 of Diablo III gave players something new to work on – the Season Journey. Players that complete all of the objectives through Chapter 4 receive two special prizes – a Season 4 Portrait Frame and a Frost Hound pet.

It took me a long time to complete Chapter 4, but it was worth it. There were a few times when I thought I would not be able to do all the objectives. It turned out that all I needed was more Paragon points and some better gear.

Now with Added Dangers

November of 2015 was filled with too many things that drained my energy. I was fighting off a cold, and that made everything harder.

I was physically overwhelmed. My body decided to react – badly – to allergens hidden in things that I though were safe. A coconut allergy appeared out of nowhere, and I had to find soap that was safe. (Grandma’s Pure Soap is coconut free.)

Candy Crush Saga: Candy Factory

Episode 2 of Candy Crush Saga is called Candy Factory. It appears to be the section of the game that shows the Candy Factory that produces all of the candy in the game. Or, something like that.

The Candy Factory Episode also reminds me of the Candy Land board game from when I was a kid. One difference is that Candy Crush Saga has little boxes that indicate that a level introduces something special that can help players complete the level.

Candy Crush Saga: Candy Town

I started playing Candy Crush Saga shortly after I started playing Farm Heroes Saga. Both of them are “match-three” games made by King. There isn’t much of a story in Candy Crush Saga, which is to be expected in this type of game.

Candy Crush Saga sort of looks like the Candyland board game I played when I was a kid. I suspect the nostalgia factor is part of what makes Candy Crush Saga attractive to people who are my age. (I’m in my 40’s). I find King’s “match-three” games to be amusing when I’m too sick to play other games, or when I am looking for a short break while working.
