I know it’s fall, but I must say October was very spring-like for me: full of renewed commitments and new beginnings. In that much grateful spirit, I’d love to share with you a selection of the best readings I’ve come across this month – something I hope will become a monthly feature… though I’ve never been very good at keeping blog resolutions.
Always springtime in Pacific Height

- Dragon Age: Redemption – Felicia Day’s (The Guild) new web series project just launched this month (3 of 6 episodes available so far).
