Sports in general have become insane to me: 4 hour football games with only 11 minutes of actual action, college athletes getting millions to "go to college," World Cup ticket prices requiring a bank loan.....I gave up on 90% of the sports I used to watch. Thank god for comics 😁

I hate events! As a kid they were fun, but now I despise them. I think there were 4 or 5 tie in issues for JL Unlimited...I haven't read any of them. I'm planning to cut my pull list for the next big crossover event.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Lol!! It took me just over 2 months of detoxing from book buying, but now I'm actually enjoying working through the library. I am however looking forward to the pre-ordered Murderbot next month 😉

For that kinda $, I could fly to Wales for a week and catch 2 of my teams matches.... and drink a lot of good beer!! It's a Championship club & honestly, I'd be more interested in doing that. Tournaments are OK, but I want to see a team that goes through the trials of a 40+ match season!

That'd be great, I'd definitely be up for that!!!

Right on Tade! It helps to have reminders to keep the mind open, thanks for that. I'll definitely give it a try!

If u haven't read @terrymooreart.bsky.social Strangers in Paradise, what are u waiting for? It's an epic masterpiece of love, heartbreak, friendship, organized crime, the seedy political underworld & so much more. Laced w/comedy & his incredibly beautiful artwork! #ComicSky #BookSky 💙📚 #Comics

Black & white pages from Terry Moore's "Strangers in Paradise" comic series.

Agree 100%!!! I had to do the self imposed buying pause which was hard to start, but I'm now loving. I think that along w/trying to read less - it's taken me 2+ months to be ok w/reading less pages per day. My mind is absurd....but it's the only one I got 🤯

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I wasn't familiar so had to look it up. I think it's the genre...it shows as "weird fantasy" & I don't think it suits my taste. I'm sure there are books w/in that I will enjoy, but I definitely lean towards scifi, lit. fiction, comics & history.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

HAHAHA!! I know I won't get through all the books in my library before I die....it's just not possible. I try and remind myself to slow down, enjoy and not consume. It also really helps with DNFing a book because why waste the time on something that isn't resonating!

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Oh interesting! I've had the trilogy on my shelf for far to long so I'm going to try and get to it this summer. I love that idea of a "safety author," - I'm going to have to think on who that would be for me. I'm excited to give this series a go!

I remember seeing this in the theater and it's just plain fun for all the action. It's great at what it does, but not for everyone.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I think I made it 150 pages or so. The plot/story is completely different than Jade City, but it reminded me of that in the sense everyone was raving about it & it just missed the mark with me. Have u read Robert Jackson Bennett's Founders Trilogy? It's one I hope to get to.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I agree that there is so much out there to explore!! I really wish many of the online only ones did printed copies. I ran into the same thing - the online ones just get missed/overlooked, but the printed ones I actually read. Might be the printed ones are within sight so there's a great reminder!

This is one of those modern fantasy books everyone told me to read & I couldn't finish. This was part of a long steak of disappointing modern fantasy. It finally ended with Jemison's Broken Earth trilogy.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Yeah, why use a device that works correctly when u can throw it in a dump so u can buy a newer one that does the same thing? This is what pushed me to cancel all my Amazon related accounts. This move is all about greed & they're basically saying, "f*ck the users"

Just curious, are they digital subscriptions?

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

I have a subscription to Clarkesworld which delivers me a collection of SF short stories every month. Plus one of my yearly challenges on StoryGraph is to read 8 short story collections. I found after a few months it became a habit & now I always have a short story collection going.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

This looks good!! I'd like to support it, but my KS budget is already spent for the year with vol. 2 of Nexus and the final book in Mathieu Bablet's trilogy. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up via a publisher after the campaign fulfills.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Great to hear!! Another one I've got slated to get to at some point! If it continues to be good are you planning to continue the series?

I successfully went into my local used bookshop yesterday to sell some books and left with ZERO books!! The key: handing over the books I intended to see and immediately leaving. It was tough, but I survived. One day at a time! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky #goals #readinggoals #2026goals

Thanks for mentioning the Kobo. Going to take a look at it online now. Definitely not buying another from Kindle. Happy reading!

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Good man 😉 My Kindle is the keyboard. It was given to me 5 years ago when a friend upgraded. I do like a number of features, but only 1-2% of my reads are on it. I think I'm most pissed about the mindset of the throw away economy & the affects on the environment.

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

That's a great goal!! Last year I read a lot, but at the cost of some other hobbies & responsibilities. So this year I'm trying to be more balanced with my time. I suspect it will be a 1 year thing....especially as I look at all the great stories waiting to be discovered!

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Title page, table of contents, authors bio, thank you page... should still have 20ish pages to fill, which may be about 10 to many 🤔

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

I have a Kindle keyboard so..... it's old but still works great. I read 1-6 books on it each year.... it only makes up 1-2% of my reading format. Mainly I use it for library borrows. This is the kick I needed to fully end buying from Amazon...I deleted my wishlists yesterday.

Throw away a working device, f*ck the environment impact, so they can make more $ We continue to just sh*t all over the planet

Scifi Geek @sfgeek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

F*ck that & f*ck Amazon! Instead of just not supporting them, they are removing functionality to even d/l library books. "Toss your perfectly good working device, who cares about the environmental impact, and give us more $" Insane the greed & sh*tting on our own planet! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky

(2 of 2) It builds on his wonderful story "Painless" Both can be read as standalone stories, but complement each other so well & I'm hoping for more. @clarkesworldmagazine.com More Rich Larson please...lots more 😉

Thanks for the mention @kdsbooks.bsky.social House of Suns by Alistair Reynolds - my fav work from him Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Cixin Liu - it's a bit dense @ times, but some truly mind blowing ideas explored Lake of Darkness by @adamroberts.bsky.social Happy reading 😁

The Jetsons were the beginning of my SF fandom. At a very young age it was one of my fav cartoons. There were others (Tom & Jerry, Bugs, The Flintstones, etc...), but The Jetsons was my first SF love ❤️ Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah #SciFisky 💙🪐 #cartoons #Jetsons www.youtube.com/watch?v=suaf...
