Raging Heat (Nikki Heat #6) by Richard Castle April is when it occurred to me to read the rest of this series. An in-universe series from the ABC show Castle, written by a main character (Richard Castle) inspired by another MC. They're decent books, but there's a nostalgia star in the rating IMO.
The cover to Raging Heat by New York Times bestselling author Richard Castle. Behind the title and author name, the black profile of a ponytailed woman holding a pistol sprints through water, the rooftop of a building with a clock and statues in the background. An emblem on the cover urges the reader to "Watch Castle" with an ABC network logo.

Bad Luck and Trouble (Reacher #11) by Lee Child The book that season 2 of the Amazon show is based on. IIRC, it matches the show 90+%. It's a Reacher book. I enjoyed it.

The Hard Way (Reacher #10) by Lee Child I really should review these as I go, they blend together in my head... It's a Reacher book. It's one of the better ones, IMO. I liked it.
The cover for The Hard Way, A Jack Reacher Novel, by New York Times Bestselling Author Of One Shot Lee Child.
The cover is a blue-and-light-blue bullseye target, apparently made of metal, with some marks from bullet deflections, but only one penetration, possibly from a bladed weapon.

Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon I really enjoyed this as a romance novel set in the world of Exandria, Critical Role's main game world. I didn't really but it as an in-universe romance novel, and it definitely didn't feel like the book Jester was reading in-game, to me. Still, sweet and well-written.
The cover to Tusk Love, a Critical Role novel by New York Times Bestselling Author Thea Guanzon. A tall, muscular orc in good, serviceable clothing stands in a meadow with fall leaves around his feet and floating through the air around him. He holds aloft a beautiful white haired woman, her skirt flaring about her. Her hands on either side of his face, they stare into each other's eyes lovingly.

Probably doesn't fit what you mean *at all* but they did print one promo card in Hebrew way back when. Moon Knight doesn't have his own card but does show up in the art for Borough Backup. The main Magic multiverse doesn't intersect with depictions of our "real" world so slim pickings, I guess.

This was 0-3 in Premiere/Best of One. Too clunky in the first two games and I wildly misread a card in the third game taking me from "well positioned" to "wiping my own board."

This was not much better (1-3 in Premiere, aka Best of One).

One Shot by Lee Child (Reacher #9) The book the Tom Cruise Reacher movie was based on. Book was fine, the movie was a pretty accurate adaptation, except for asking me to believe that Tom Cruise is 6'5, 230lb, and can intimidate a woman with his physicality while shirtless without trying.

When I only get 5 wins with a deck like this, I have to really question why I'm still playing this game. #MTG #MagicTheGathering
A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magic: The Gathering draft deck that had an overall record of five wins and three losses. It features the strongest card in the set, Sally Pride, as well as a copy of the "mythic Uncommon," Mighty Mutanimals. The pack one, pick one was the also very strong Agent Bishop, Man in Black. Outcomes like this make me question why I'm even playing this game. Sunk cost fallacy, probably.

The Enemy by Lee Child (Reacher #8) Continuing my read through the Reacher series, this takes place while Reacher is still in the Army. It allows for more exploration of the character's background including family connections. The main story is up to par, but the premise is odd to me (military?).
