#Books2025 #Korval 30 Shout of Honor by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller A look at he Yxtrang ambassador before events in The Gathering Edge. I loved JinJee's troop's reactions!

#Books2025 29 Moon's Honor by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. One of the libraries in our county system has a number of these short Liaden universe books. It is lovely getting some back stories!

The demand for the measles vaccine is so high in Texas that they are now RUNNING OUT of them. I have always said it would come to this. Science will always exist. Politics will never usurp it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In order to defeat CHAOTIC EVIL… …you’re gonna need CHAOTIC GOOD. Am I right? Level 5 Dungeon Masters, please check in.

#Books2025 28 Bonded in Death by JD Robb. I was hoping for the new house move in as part of the back story, but guessing that will be next book.

A blast from The Brewers past. youtu.be/J9WbPK4pru0?...

#Books2025 27 Starter Villain by John Scalzi Another one that is light and humorous and just delightful!

#Books2025 The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison Set in the same world as The Goblin Emperor this is more of a mystery following Thara Celahar investigating several different deaths. I still want to see more from the court, but love this entry too!

#Books2025 24: Night of the Living Trekkies by Kevin David Anderson - I don't usually read zombie books, but it came billed as a humorous take, the zombie outbreak centered around a Star Trek convention.

#Books2025 #Korval 22: Scout's Progress from early in the Liaden Universe by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.

#Books2025 #Korval 22: Sleeping with the Enemy by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller - 2 stories set on Surebleak after Korval relocates there.

Be sure to read the reviews!

#Books2025 21: Snuff by Terry Pratchett It is amazing to look at the journey that Sam Vimes takes from Guards! Guards! to Snuff. The roots are there in the beginning, especially with the boots theory on how expensive it is to be poor. Here, I absolutely adore his relationship with Sybil!

#Books2025 #Murderbot 20: Artificial Condition by Martha Wells The part running down the sequence from the comfort units just hit me hard.

#Books2025 #ClanKorval 18: Fortune's Favors by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller

#Books2025 #ClanKorval 18: The Gate that Locks the Tree by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller. A side adventure in the Liaden Universe. I was reading it with my cat Val Con curled up along side me and we are between a winter storm and a cold snap so the book felt very in the moment.

#Books2025 17: How to Steal a Galaxy by Beth Revis. Book 2 of the after the one that underwhelmed me. This one was a heist with a long con of some kind built in. I read this one straight through after struggling to finish book 1. Now it is waiting time until book 3 comes out.

#Books2025 16: Full Speed to a Crash Landing. I wanted to love this book, I should have loved it, but it didn't just pull me into the world/story. Then it all accelerated enough at the end that I picked up the next book. So I'll see what happens next!

#Books2025 15: Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett. I actually finished this back on Sunday before the Superbowl, so it was quite the timely read.

I learned today that a former coworker committed suicide. He helped thousands of students over his career. I can't picture him without a smile on his face. If there is anything I can ever do, I'm here. If I'm not the right person to talk to, try this. 988lifeline.org?utm_source=g...

#Books2025 14: A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. I read it when it was on the Hugo nominee list, and then re-read it for book club. I really enjoyed it and somethings hit so much differently knowing where the book was going.

A scene from Babylon 5: Capt. John Sheridan: You know, it's funny, I was thinking about what you said, that the preeminent truth of our age is that you cannot fight the system. But if, as you say, the truth is fluid, that the truth is subjective, then maybe you can fight the system.

#Books2025 13: Wisconsin Myths & Legends: The True Stories Behind History's Mysteries by Michael Bie I picked this up last weekend while we were doing our Milwaukee Public Library Treasure Hunt and zipped right through it.

Pick your top item right now, call your officials. If you are like me and hate making phones calls, this site has nice scripts for you! 5calls.org

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

#Books2025 #Murderbot 12: All Systems Red by Martha Wells. Re-reading and listening to Kevin Free reading are my Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

#Books2025 11 Passions in Death by J D Robb Books I would liken to popcorn, a light snack! I'm looking forward the move in to the house that I think will be in the next book.

Thou shalt not let RFK Jr. be in charge of health, or anything.

I'm liking the idea of creating a zine, write local news for area, then add in political news. Small 1 page sheets, distribute in a small area.

Schiff: "When Mike Johnson's state was hit by Katrina, I fought to get aid ... California has given more to the recovery of other states than any other state in the union. You do not want to go down this road."
