📚 sixty of 2019: The Wanderer, by Fritz Leiber. ⭐️⭐️ 1965 Hugo Best Novel
Veers wildly between interesting concepts (a planet the size of Earth appears in Earth’s orbit, affecting tectonics, tides, etc.), and incredibly dated plots that do not age well.
Thanks to micro.blog’s ability to import Instagram archives, all 1,512 posts, from my first on 12/14/13 to my last on 12/31/18, are now on my blog (all tagged as from:instagram, on the chance someone wanted to browse back through them all). Nice to be out of that walled garden!
Pro-Impeachment Rally
Prairie and I headed down to tonight’s pro-impeachment rally in downtown Renton.
Meeting’s done, time for the Norwescon holiday party! For which, of course, I brought out my most seasonally appropriate suit coat.
Gathering the troops for this month’s Norwescon planning meeting. Just four months to go until this year’s con!
📚 fifty-nine of 2019: Gods Above, by Peter David. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A little odd, because I didn’t know beforehand that the New Frontier books were quite so serialized, and I was coming in mid-story. Still an enjoyable follow up to TOS’s “Who Mourns for Adonais?”. 🖖
Of our two silly little window things, one seems notably more invested than the other.
📚 fifty-eight of 2019: Sleeping Beauties, by Stephen and Owen King. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A King take on the fears that women have of men, of the men that generate those fears, and how they all react when mysteriously separated. King (and his son) still knows how to tell a good tale.
