Absolutely.

I find that emotionally accurate on my end too.

And the Indians Jones franchise.

After being slaughtered by a feminist Brit.

Anything’s better than the last one.

I heard the Agatha series was great but I’m not giving Disney money.

Ryan Reynolds no longer sits well with me.

Too soon!

King Yvorian’s Wager by Darrell Schweitzer ★★★★☆
A self absorbed young king seeks to wagers with the god of death. He over taxes his citizens to build a labyrinth for himself where he can live agelessly separate from the world. Eventually death comes and tells him that so long as he claims to be king death will not touch him. (view spoiler)[The king eager accepts them leaves his labyrinth without fear, but his kingdom has long gone to dust. He travels for years telling people he is their king, they respond with ridicule and violence. It is not until he meets a nice widow, marries, and has a family that he finally gives up his identity of king - and dies. Abrupt, but it works for the story. (hide spoiler)]

Happy New Year!

Chicken Little by Cory Doctorow ★★★★★
A imaginative tale grounded in reality. Immortal CEOs rule a familiar world in distant god-like ways. They search for novelty, advantage, and Clarity.

Merry Christmas!🎁🎄

These threads stay open.

The Dowry of the Rag Picker’s Daughter ★★★★☆
Gorgeous little story of the poor ugly girl being gifted with her inner beauty. She and her wizard live happily ever after.

All Cats are Grey ★★★☆☆
“They sighted the Empress riding, her dead-lights gleaming, a ghost ship in night space.”

In a tame early inspiration for Alien, this spooky space salvage story still has some chills.

Always trust your cat, they can see things you cannot.

I liked the dog but the rest was blah. I’d rather watch the old Christopher Reeves vs Gene Hackman. I never watched the Cavil ones, I like him but he didn’t look the part to me.

lol! When “good enough for government work” is the end you!

What do y'all think?"

I had no intention of crying this evening you jerk!
And thank you, that was beautiful.

Miss Cillian already.

The Last Hieroglyph by Clark Ashton Smith ★★★½☆
A man and his party adventure and try to deny his dark fate.

The Sorcerer Pharesm by Jack Vance ★★★½☆
An adventurer under a guise runs afoul of an old sorcerer after eating the wrong meal. Cugel is sent back a million years to try and retrieve the strange life form he ate. It was weird one but oddly entertaining.

Looks good.
