Story
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Story
Raze is "just" a lowly Gearblin chained to the quest-giver desk at the worst (and only) arcade in town. And that’s a problem for her. It means that she’s a Non-Participating Citizen, someone who can’t see her stats nor make opposed rolls against Heroes. It’s why her life’s worth less than the vendor trash she doles out. The old-timers swear it didn’t used to be like this; their issues only began once RNGesus went AFK a thousand years ago, leaving the questionably blessed Heroes to conquer everything without consequence.

Then tragedy struck, not once, but twice. What followed was laid down by Jim in a moving, poignant, and uplifting journal of the following year, a year filled with heartbreak as well as enormous gifts and invaluable lessons, not just for Jim and his family but for listeners who traveled along with him on his journey.

Creating for your own pleasure - whether you're writing a novel, composing songs, or painting a landscape - can seem pointless. It's tempting to focus on pursuing money and fame rather than the process itself. But as Srini Rao warns, creating then turns into a chore that can harm your self-esteem and suck the pleasure out of life rather than being a source of joy.

For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. Then it went viral. To his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is now a global movement. The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful.

Autism—that’s being able to count matches really fast and knowing that 7 August 1984 was a Tuesday, right? Well, no. In this book, Bianca Toeps explains in great detail what life is like when you’re autistic. She does this by looking at what science says about autism (and why some theories can go straight in the trash), but also by telling her own story and interviewing other autistics.

Great, but the audiobook isn’t ideal.
As much as I love Felicia Day’s frenetic narration and enthusiasm, this is a workbook and the pdf is necessary if you don’t have the paperback. It’s not the sort of book you listen to while driving or at the gym, so it really makes more sense to read a hard copy.

Inspiring and Readily Applicable
I wasn't sure what to expect from this audiobook when I got it, but I did enjoy Felicia's autobiography as an audiobook, so I figured this would be fun. But wow, a book literally filled with creativity prompts and encouragement may be EXACTLY what a lot of us need to get out of our creative ruts.
Once I got started, I was worried that this would be overly fluffy or with no real direction. But instead, I really appreciated all the different exercises Felicia crammed into this book and now I need to listen to this title a few more times just to document all of them and figure out which ones I like the most or may even consider doing on a regular basis.
It's a charming title and quite the creative firestarter and more creatives, whether you're a writer, game designer, or visual artist, can totally benefit from this. Be weird. Let your crazy out into the world. I'll be right there with you struggling to do the same thing.

Self help for embracing your weirdness
I say this lovingly because I was *smitten* with this book right from the introduction. This journal + quest + finding yourself journey is a MUST for anyone looking for the next step in life, the next "how do I start" mission, the next, " I really want to..." - if you are stuck, not sure where to begin or plague yourself with self doubt... stop it! Pick up this book or do the audio, because Felicia is hilarious and I could listen to her all day and now I want to be her bff even more, and stop beating yourself up! EMBRACE YOUR WEIRD YA WEIRDO and go forth into the world knowing you are awesome and whatever it is that you want to do next, is needed. I loved this book even if I didn't qpply all the excercises now, I know I will refer to this one often! This is the ultimate self help book served up nerd style. You will not regret!

Great and Inspiring Read
I got this as an audiobook and it is a great listen! Very inspiring and gets me pumped to create! I didn’t know it was an activity book. So I bought the hard copy as well and will be reading it again and writing all up in it! I love this is narrated by Felicia Day, whom I absolutely love. Her voice comes through in her writing but being able to hear her read the words as they were intended is even better.
