Two miles walked under a lightning storm with glimpses of Venus through the clouds!
Carrying 22 books through the library? You too might be a reading parent of readers! 😂
Book Shelfie Selfie as it is this reader’s birthday!! Cheers y’all!
Reading while awaiting tire repairs. I wanted to read the first short story in Recluce Tales before diving in to The Last Of The First by Modesitt.
Venus was shining SO BRIGHT as if to light up the night!
One month later! Mostly finished except for touchups and cleaning some missed spots. It was fun to complete this task!
DIY Lightsaber time!! Went to my friendly neighborhood lowes and gave this a try and had so much FUN! Already made another chrome one and thinking about a few other builds.
Voted today to hopefully bring more Blue to my homestate!
When the youtube terrain making peoples suggest building on one foot by one foot square cake platters and it seems both genius and fun and suddenly you have six 1x1 cake platters you now need to plan terrain builds for….
I would like to thank @fellhound.bsky.social for creating Commander Rao and And We Love You and absolutely breaking my heart with these beautifully told stories! I read them and immediately looked at my wife and said: ‘These are beautiful and sad and you have to read them!’ We both were in tears.
Built a few Stargrave Troopers and then used a limited set of paints to make them colorful. I did let myself use a few other paints not pictured for details. I was considering each of these as an overall scheme but honestly just was having fun!
Dark Horse Presents has been one of my favorite comic books since forever. Did you know that the Alien and Predator franchises first crossed over in these pages? Really neat stories and incredible art. DHP was a black and white comic book anthology. Really the best one ever done.
Picked my minis up again for first time this year for some painting. They’re a homebrew Chapter so not a preordained paint scheme. Trying to build up a conpany for mass photos
Back on my Recluce Saga reading. A reread again in which I’ve forgotten all that I read before so it is like new to me
I got distracted by a Modesitt book, but am starting this one now! (Modesitt book distractions happen easily as I own over 60 Modesitt books and have read only half of them)
Book two was fantastic. Here it in rainbow lighting. The author grows in their ability and the story surges as a result. Characters become more individualistic, backgrounds and motivations become clearer, and things progress quickly. Short chapters help with this. Highly recommend this trilogy.
I reread Fall Of Angels and The Chaos Balance as they take place ten years before Armscommander, which is the first book in the series after famed cover artist DKS passed away, so a new artist has taken over the cover art work.
Fun rainbow lighting on my bookshelf means taking some fun book photos! I finished a reread of LE Modesitt Jr’s The Chaos Balance which is the 7th book of the Recluce Saga published wayyyy back in 1997 and as always gives a neat slice of what life would be like in the middle of a fantasy world.
This is a grail. Not holy, but so special to me. I honestly thought I’d never own a copy. This is the very first appearance of Matt Wagner’s Grendel. I am over the Moon excited right now!
I’ve been back on a Modesitt kick this year, and have been rereading the DKS covered books in the Recluce Saga. Just finished Fall Of Angels, which is much better as a reread. Currently on The Chaos Balance before my intended target of Armscommander, the first book with a new cover artist.
We check in on our protagonist and their listening choices….
