There are plenty of great reasons to stay inside right now. If you’re not worried about catching covid (and, let’s be clear, you absolutely should be), there are several winter storms wreaking havoc across America that should serve to keep you locked in with a cup of tea and a good book. Sometimes, though, the cabin fever starts to settle in, and a book just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Yes, I said it. Sometimes it’s okay to not want to read! That might not be the advice you’d expect from a book podcast, but here we are.

My best boy, Vektro Velikov, from our long-running D&D campaign. (Art by @AlexielApril ! She is marvelous—go find her!)
Death is difficult, if not impossible, to deal with, and I’m not sure that you ever “get over” losing a loved one--nor do I profess to have experience in it. What I do have experience in is character death.
Playing tabletop role playing games (or TTRPGS), it’s inevitable that characters die. After all, they’re adventurers, or supernatural creatures, or superheroes, or some combination of those (depending on what system you’re playing). It’s normal that they’d burn bright and then die quickly, but that doesn’t make it easier.

Write to us about anything you'd like at thesquad@booksquadgoals.com, and don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!
