Oh man...Josh's mom being all excited to go shopping at 4am. At Toys 'R' Us.

*sad face*

Most wonderful time of the year my ass.

Already love it...

Argh! Don't you hate it when you get a newsletter from an author you really love - for a book that's not on GoodReads yet, so you can't mark it for your TBR?

Having that issue right now for the second Executive Power book, which comes out in like 3 days? But it hasn't been entered by a Librarian (or Tal)!!

JFC GoodReads Code Monkeys, get your shit together please. It's really irritating when I can't "like" or comment on someone's review from the feed page and have to go directly to their entry instead.

The Daily Show's new browser extension has made my life infinitely better...never laughed so hard in my life.

Hmmm...putting this one back on the TBR for later. Switching to a different book for the challenge read.

Friendly reminder to all my US friends to check your Voter Registration Status.

Scroll all the way down to register if you haven't done so already!

Check the dates for your state primaries/caucuses, too...

OMG, I'm losing my momentum toward finishing my 2019 challenge because I've been binging all the episodes of GBBO on Netflix & then researching ways to make some of those flavor profile desserts Low Carb &/or Low Sugar.

So far I've managed a raspberry & chocolate thing w/almond flour crust, monkfruit sweetened raspberry jam & chocolate mocha cream. Turned out pretty good.

There's probably a book, though, w/recipes.

Is it me or are there subtle Office Space reference peppered in here? The red stapler, beating the hell out office equipment, (discouraged) personal flair for cubicles...

Good gracious, were the other books in the Austin Trilogy this slow to build? I remember liking them a whole lot more than I am this one.

Although, points for the opening scene against the Braves; I remember going to & watching games with these exact players. (Also, LOL @ one of the side characters complaining about how boring it is compared to other games. I concur 100%. I think the pitcher needs a "shot clock.")

OMFG this Special Prosecutor is one "special" kind of douchebonnet!

Alex's disillusionment with Luna's defection is definitely a mood...

I would LITERALLY contribute to the defense fund of someone that changes the Senate Majority Leader's office sign to "Bitch McConnell."

Empire > Jedi #1.

*nods*

Alex is correct...although I do so very much love Henry's defense of the underlying themes in Jedi. Quite swoon-worthy.

I'm not even an hour in and OMG the snark is strong with this one.

"I'd rather be waterboarded."
"Your country could probably arrange that."

Sometimes when I mark a book as completed, GR randomly decides I've read it twice. What is going on? I have to back into the review, delete the blank read date...reload, check that it's taken...reload...frequently delete it again...and again. Then finally it seems to correct itself.

What a PITA!

Not book related (except I frequently mention the show in a lot of SciFi book reviews)...

A NEW BATTLESTAR GALACTICA IS COMING!!! *flailing*

Not a reboot either. Esmail (who gave us the excellent Mr. Robot) said about the previous series (by RD Moore), "Why mess with perfection."

I totally agree & am beside myself with joy right now. (You gotta appreciate the little things that make you happy in this day and age.)

Wow...this has a LOT of sex. More than I expected given the societal prohibitions. I mean, I get that they're alone together for a long trip and they're making up for everything they've ever been denied. But will every time they do it be detailed?

(Never thought I'd complain about too much sex...)

I know GR's Science Fiction and Fantasy week is over...but I'm in the mood for more SciFi. (Of course, when am I not?)

Damn, this is good...back to book 1 level good. *crossing fingers*

As if CockyGate wasn't bad enough, OSU (Ohio) is trying to trademark the word "the." Yes, THE.

JFC...

OMG, this audio is AH-MAY-ZING. The only way it could be better is if it had been recorded as duet narration (or whatever it's called when each performer voices their own lines). Seriously, I don't think there's a better combo than Michael & Greg. EXCELLENT choices Ms. Witt!

Now, the story itself is a bit ridiculous, but I do appreciate highlighting that the "Hollywood Royalty" isn't always liberal...rare, but real.

If there's a Librarian around right now, is there any way you could add this book, please?

The Will of Heaven is already listed as a stand-alone, but at Prolific Works it's packaged with Incivility and Payment in Full...and I read all three (the last two aren't listed here at GR).

Thanks!

OOF. Not really in the mood for this...I should have read the precis again before picking it for a challenge (if not the reviews).

BINGO listen...

Really hoping that Sean Criden's dulcet tones will make me like the story more this time around

Audio for the drive through Northern Cali...

Taking a short trip; I'll be checking in sporadically during the week.

Trio, text me if something major happens!! (And give my number to Eugenia please!)
