Looking for a way to boost your Laser count? Get yourself a copy of Star Trek: Voyage to Adventure written under a pseudonym by John M. Ford. This is a Which Way Book where you choose your own path. It turns out there are 46 paths to an endpoint, so with one book, you have 46 different reads. Brilliant!If you prefer to just look at graphs, here is the graph visualization which displays the paths to 19 good endings, 20 bad endings, and 7 endings that are merely ok.

For those who read comics, Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation was published at the beginning of this year
The second book of the duology, Parable of the Talents, is also on salehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
I'm confused. Brea Grant has two Goodreads accounts. There is Brea Grant found through the "add book/author" tool and there is also Brea Grant where her bookshelves seem to be located. So, an author and a reader account? I don't think I've seen this before.

Wishing a healthy and safe birth to Veronica and Ryan.
I feel like I'm increasingly less connected to the Goodreads zeitgeist with each new awards year. Other than Network Effect and Peace Talks which I read and enjoyed, and Mexican Gothic which is in my TBR, most of the nominated books are unfamiliar.

Trike, most of your images are showing up as errors. Not sure why.Edit: Well now they are showing up, except for the last one.
And there they all are. Thanks.
I re-read Princess Bride earlier this year and it holds up, but in the same way that William Goldman only presents the best parts of the original story by S. Morgenstern in his abridgement, the movie only presents the best parts of Goldman's book. If you get a chance, the memoir As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes is also entertaining.
or...Sci-Fi, Lockdown, TBR and Doomscrolling
To bring this back around to reading in November 2020...Covid, T.P., TBR and Fantasy

Braaivleis, Rugby, Sunny Skies and Chevrolet

I haven't read it yet, but Star Wars Rebels, Vol. 1 by Akira Aoki is out this week; a manga version of the animated tv show.
Trike will be filing a petition requesting an emergency injunction to stop counting Goodreads Choice Award ballots until it can be determined why The Winds of Winter didn't make the second round ballot.
