I finished CROOKED KINGDOM by Leigh Bardugo last night, finished THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE by Riley Sager (2 weeks ago), and BLACK COFFEE adapted by Charles Osborne from an Agatha Christie's play. I've now started ROAD TO DUNE by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. #reading #books #currentlyreading

Last night I started reading SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo. I'm also still concurrently reading THE STRENGTH OF THE FEW by James Islington (I'm at 62% completion). When I read 2 books at once, it's usually one in the morning and the other in the afternoon/evening. #reading #books #currentlyreading

So I finished THE WILL OF THE MANY by James Islington on Sunday and have immediately jumped into the sequel: THE STRENGTH OF THE FEW. #reading #books #currentlyreading

The cover art for THE STRENGTH OF THE FEW by James Islington, Hierarchy, Book II. Cover artwork displays a large black pyramid taking up most of the horizon within a desert of sand dunes. Two figures stand atop one of the dune, while in the foreground several figures in flowing white robes fly through the air towards them.

I'm currently reading THE WILL OF THE MANY by James Islington. Presently I'm about 68% through it. Usually I'd be reading 2 books concurrently, but this one has captured my full attention. #reading #books #currentlyreading

The cover art of "The Will of the Many" by James Islington, depicting a city landscape with clear influence of Ancient Rome. A large monolithic column dominates the city, and an equally monolithic brick like object hovers above the cityscape.

I miss how in the 90s/2000s TV networks used to do these mini-series based off myth, legends, and classic literature, like Merlin with Sam Neill, Armand Asante in the Odyssey, Gulliver’s Travels with Ted Danson. I feel like streaming has taken away part of the whimsy and magic of television.

I was walking along at our local street fair today, browsing all the stalls, and I spotted this fight night promotion style Kirk vs Gorn sign printed on a wood panel with a wall hook on the back. I couldn’t resist. A perfect match for some other #StarTrek decor I have in my book nook.

A Star Trek poster in the style of a big fight promotional art depicting Captain Kirk and a Gorn. Text at the top reads: “Battle of Brawn”. With text benefit the image reading: “Kirk vs Gorn. Stardate 3045.6 - who will reign supreme? DESERT PLANET SHOWDOWN”

Just got back from seeing #TheOdyssey. I thought it was a great new interpretation of the epic legend. It was definitely peak Nolan.

Been watching an early 1990s British cozy mystery on BritBox called "Pie in the Sky" starring the late Richard Griffiths, who is delightful in the role of DI Henry Crabbe who just wants to retire (but can't b/c of his boss's dubious machinations) and allowed to be a chef in his restaurant.
