Recently finished Project Hail Mary, and The Fold. Next up is The Martian. Also need to read the latest Rivers of London book.

I used to have a coworker that dressed like this. Always a perfectly matching suit, shirt, tie, pocket square, socks and shoes combo. He had suits in every color imaginable. Always made me happy.

I had a Blackberry flip phone that was great. I miss that thing.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

That’s it. That’s all I know. Thank you The West Wing.

I love the one where Gus and Lassie tap dance.

I stopped at “yes they are all in the west “.

This is the time of year that I try and stay indoors as much as possible. Too hot out there for me.

Sunny and 90 degrees. Floated around in the pool with some cocktails. Perfect day.

I’m about halfway through the Alex Verus series and it’s pretty good so far. Although I think it’s gonna take a darker tone in the next few books.

I just finished The Fold. I’m not sure if I liked it or not. It started strong and then just went off the rails a bit. I don’t really like long drawn out fight sequences in books, movies , etc. and then it just ended without much resolution. Maybe the ending was to setup more books?

George Guidall is my all time favorite. Ralph Cosham had a wonderful voice and I really miss him as a narrator. I also love Nathaniel Parker’s voice and listen to books I otherwise wouldn’t just to hear him.

Rivers of London Project Hail Mary Alex Verus

Don’t normally do much sci fi/fantasy but I’m trying to branch out of my mystery genre.

Next time Jack write a god damned memo!

I’m sorry. Did she end that rant with “God bless you?” WOW.

I’m listening to The Nursing Home Murder by Ngaio Marsh. I’m switching back and forth between mysteries and sci-fi at the moment.

Chirp was having a sale so I thought I would give this one a try. A lot of reviews comparing Marsh to Agatha Christie so I thought it was worth trying. Seems pretty good so far and I have no clue yet who the murderer might be.

I tried using Libby for a while but my library system doesn’t have most of what I’m looking for. I tried Scrib’d and didn’t really like that either. I’ve also used Kobo but the pricing with Audible is better for me especially since they added the Plus catalog.

I also checkout Chirp periodically since they have sales all the time.

I actually returned a book because I couldn’t stand the narrator. Then I listened to her narrate some other books and came to really enjoy her. And I ended up re-purchasing the book I had returned.

For me, if I have a problem with the narrator, I increase the speed to 1.2ish and that usually helps a lot.

I’m on a Hamish Macbeth binge right now. Just finished Death of a Scriptwriter and Death of a Macho Man. Next up is Death of a Dustman.

Great picture. I love petunias.
