Finished reading the 1st 2 novels as well as the 1st 2 short stories in the Ursula K La Guin‘s Earthsea Cycle. I enjoyed them especially The Tombs of Atuan. I also like her afterwords in the editions I have read so far. It gives insights into how she changed as an author over the years.

I need to reread this classic TOS novel. I first read it when it came out in 1995. I don’t remember much about it besides time travel shenanigans and humans being erased from time because the asteroid didn’t hit. Kirk and crew of course have to restore the timeline.

Finished reading Kirsten Beyer’s Star Trek VOY novel To Lose the Earth. The last in the VOY relaunch & the last VOY novel to date. Once again her character development is top notch with both joy and heartbreak. I wish there was more of Icheb & Bryce but the previous novel left them in a good place.

QTP with a female superhero you love Not technically a superhero but I have Trek fixation.

Finished reading Kirsten Beyer Star Trek VOY novel Architects of Infinity. I really enjoyed. There’s so much going on beyond the sci-fi plot since Beyer’s novels are character driven. I like Bryce & Icheb together, and I want a Captain Farkas and Dr. Sal lost era novel. 10/10 strange planets.

Drop something COLOURFUL 🎨🖤🌈

Finished reading Kirsten Breyer‘s VOY novel A Pocket Full of Lies. I enjoyed it especially the connections with the Year of Hell. But all the alternative timelines gave me a headache as did the small print. My eyes are starting to show their age. Also I‘m now shipping Ensign Icheb & Lt. Phinn Bryce.

Finished reading Una McCormack’s Star Trek Typhon Pact Brinkmanship. It’s my favorite of the Typhon Pact novels. It always feels like her novels are tailor made for me because they are always exactly my kind of Trek.

Cast yourself as a villain

Now that I no longer let my Charlie sleep on the bed due to his arthritis, I tuck him into his little bed in my home office every night before going to bed. Yes, I know I’m weird.

Finished reading George’s Trek Typhon Pact Plagues of Night. I enjoyed it, though I found the 1st 1/2 a bit of a slog (aside from chapters about President Bacco & Praetor Kamemor). Then it turned into a DS9 & TNG novel & got better. Then DS9 blew up. That had long been spoiled for me but RIP DS9 😢

A vessel that will always be stunning. Kira who is holding the mug is also always stunning, and she did serve once as a vessel for a prophet so this a twofer.

If you see this, post an Archer.

A vessel that will always be stunning. I don’t why but I’ve already preferred the Enterprise-A over the refit Enterprise even though they are more or less identical.

I found a way to watch Earth 2 on the internet for free so now I’m obsessed with rewatching it for the first time in more than 3 decades. It’s way ahead of its time with its season long story arc. Considering its environmentalism, I’m surprised my dad let me watch it back in 1994/1995.

Wouldn’t have expected 63% Hopepilled. But the questions skewed this. I don’t think the US’s best days are behind it because I don’t idolize the past.

Finished reading Christopher L. Bennett Star Trek Department of Temporal Investigations: Forgotten History. It’s an enjoyable novel though it has a lot of fan service. Sometimes excessively so. But most importantly it vindicates Kirk of calumny leveled against him by the DTI.

QTP with a ship that makes you happy

Despite all the nostalgia and despite all Spock’s heteronormative romantic relationships in SNW, we haven’t got anything about Leila Kalomi and probably never will.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

Went to the locally owned used bookstore and 2nd & Charle today. I’m running out of room for all my Trek novels plus all the other books I have. I’m going to need to buy more bookcases. Anyways here is today’s haul of used Star Trek novels:

1/2 Finished reading Greg Cox’s Star Ttek Eugenics Wars duology. It’s enjoyable & entertaining to read. Through the 2nd volume’s focus on the 90s, he unintentionally rebuffed the unfounded nostalgia among many of my fellow elder millennials for how great they were. Of course reality was different.

There is nothing sweeter than old dog sleeping soundly.

Post something that still traumatizes you.
