Hi

Hi and welcome to the community. I'm a woman in my sixties and I enjoy reading and playing video games.

Hi lotus. Thank you. What do you like to read and what games do you play?

I read so much now that I'm retired, but I have a kindle unlimited subscription which saves money. I read lots of genres including sci-fi, fantasy, time travel, historical novels and romantic comedy. I'm currently reading books by Matilda Scotney, a sci-fi author on the spectrum.

My favourite games are Sims 4 (I started a thread on that the other day), Fallout 4, Assassins creed Odyssey, BioShock 1&2 and Hogwarts Legacy.

I look forward to reading your Sims 4 post!

I hope you find a book that appeals to you and is on Kindle Unlimited. I might get that, I saw some of the Agatha Christie Poirot books are available on there and so is Harry Potter.

Have you read any of the Middle Falls time travel series? Each book follows a character living in the town of Middle Falls and at the moment of death they are sent back to an earlier time in their life with memories of their last life intact. It's by an American author called Shaun Inmon.

No I haven't but thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely be checking that out. It sounds similar to The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown. It follows this woman who gets given a book that opens doorways to moments of her past, she steps through and she's able to relive the memory.

I read it last year and was captivated by it. I'll check out Middle Falls, thanks again.

I know what you mean loading screens are a right pain in the Sims 4. I still live in hope one day they will make it an open world game, that would be brilliant if that happened. It's such a good game, it's the only thing that lets it down for me.
Yes the Assassin's Creed games are amazing for open world, there's so much detail in the worlds and a lot to explore and see. I'm playing Odyssey at the moment, I just got to go out to the open seas for the first time.

Thanks for the link Lotus... It worked!

I'll add to your discussion today. I'll try to add my own screenshots from my game, if that's doable here. I'll try to figure it out!

I haven't read the Licanius Trilogy - just looked it up and it's not part of Kindle Unlimited, and it doesn't appeal enough for me to purchase it. But thanks for the recommendation - I'm always on the lookout for new books

I also like open world games - I wish Sims 4 was open world, the constant loading is the most annoying part of that game. Assassins creed Odyssey, Origins and Valhalla are great for the open world aspect, the historical facts, and the story lines.

Here is a link to my Sims 4 discussion thread - this is the first time I've tried to link to another thread, so I hope you can access it:
