Honestly, if you’re not in to the ‘cinematic’ writing style that the writers use that doesn’t change.
I personally like the imagery. I can see the Rosi and most of the people in it, in my head. They remind me of JK Rowling in that way., but your mileage way vary.
The second book is very much a redo of the first but better. Less tropey and the women are much better written. Chrisjen is such a great character.
The plots get changed up in three and four which is good so you might like them more but I can understand it’s no for everyone.

I’ve finally gotten around to The Expanse series and I’m about a third of the way into Cibola Burn, the 3rd book.
I really enjoyed the first two and I’m liking this one but it’s starting a bit slower then the other and I find the tension ratcheting up different not worse but different.

At this point in the story line Murderbot isn’t part of their Family yet. Even by the end of All Systems Red he’s just starting to trust them.
I was going to post the cast of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon but I couldn’t find a full cast photo.

Well at least he spelled his name right this time. I guess that’s something.

Oh dip, Pillboi!

That my birthday 🌵

I am very much so … but that’s only because both my parents were shithead drug addicts in their 20s. My mom got in AA and turned her life in to a better place but she was starting again from the bottom. My dad didn’t get help and was still using and dealing and struggling last time I heard.

Yeah, I’m ME. That about covers it for me.

I think the writers on Ted Lasso got it pitch perfect with Jamie saying “Why would I want to be anything else, I’m me.”

Well I don’t live there and I haven’t been through the south for over 20 years so I’ll take your word on it. But I don’t like to give anywhere I believe in a full ticket run and maybe a serious run at Florida by the top of the ticket can’t win but could help turn some purple districts a bit more blue. And the Presidency is worth much more than the podium unless she’s got the house too.

My uneducated guess? Putin has seen better polling then what’s made people public and figures that he better get going on a deal now because he doesn’t think the November elections are going to go his way.
