I missed something. What was the medallion the kid was wearing? Mando said he didn't expect to see it again.

This year, about 15% of the books I read were mysteries, thrillers, Bloom County comics, and a couple of non-fiction titles. Science fiction and fantasy are the core of my reading habit.

I'm watching Star Wars Rebels for the first time. It's a terrific addition to the SW canon.
Both lists include S+L pick The Rook. The Goodreads list also includes S+L picks Annihilation and Old Man's War. I don't remember anything fungal in Old Man's War, but it's been some time since I read it.
I thought I'd give a shout out to the new season of The Churn, SyFy's Expanse podcast.https://www.syfy.com/tags/the-churn
This season's host is Ana Marie Cox (aka The Wonkette) with a new format. In the first three episodes, Ana Marie and Daniel W. Drezner disuss the politics and economics of the Expanse. Then there are five episodes of interviews with the lead actors and show runner. Now they will start recapping and discussing each episode. Both hosts are policy wonks and fans of the books and show. I'm finding their podcasts very entertaining.

Equipment - Competitors must wear long trousers or tracksuits and may cushion their shins by using straw (provided). They will be provided with white coats, representing the traditional shepherd’s smock. (Participants may purchase their smock afterwards for £25) Footwear may be trainers, shoes, or soft-toed (i.e. un-reinforced) boots. Any form of metal-reinforced toe on footwear is expressly forbidden. This will now be checked both before and after your bouts! Failure to comply will result in instant exclusion, and barring from future events!
Stance. A competitor begins by holding his or her opponent by the shoulders (or lapels) with arms straight.
The contest will be started, finished (if necessary) and judged, by an arbiter, known as a Stickler. The Stickler decides the fairness of a contest.
A contest is decided on the best of three throws - i.e. two successful throws results in a win. Note that this may be reduced to one throw in the event of poor weather, or the maximum number of competitors reached.
Mandalorian concept art for each chapter. This page will be updated with new chapters.https://d23.com/the-mandalorian-conce...
Unfortunately, the art on the page isn't sized for desktop wallpaper, which would be nice.
The Calculating Stars (and The Fated Sky) were best of the year for me.The Fall picks were also entertaining: The Poppy War, Trail of Lightning, and Seven Blades in Black
Welp! Moff happens!
