I hope you all stay safe this holiday season. I’ll be reading some books and watching some SF. EDIT: If anyone knows who owns this meme, I’d be happy to get credit. I got it from FB.

Favorite songs or musicians
Wow. This is a lengthy topic so I will narrow it down a bit. I am a huge fan of music history and covers. One of my favorite podcast is Coverville, which does covers of different songs, performers etc. One of my favorite albums is Motown Sings the Beatles. I also like the Motown ChristmasContinue reading “Favorite songs or musicians”
How I decide what to read next
This is the worst nightmare for a person as addicted to reading as I am. I agonize over it; especially if it’s Christmas and I’ve gone a bit crazy with my holiday reading purchases. I usually have a series I’m reading, so next in the series gets priority for orders. I finished THE CALCULATING STARSContinue reading “How I decide what to read next”
Topics I Never Get Tired of Talking About
Books. Well, I like books. I like talking about bookstores and used bookstores and libraries and museums. Star Trek, but I have to remember not everyone wants to talk about it. I can also talk about Blake’s 7 or Babylon 5 for variety. I just finished reading all the A Song of Ice and FireContinue reading “Topics I Never Get Tired of Talking About”
The strangest things I’ve eaten
One thing I’ve learned is that what is strange to me, may not be strange to anyone else. I used to think Vegemite was strange. So, I thought I’d mention some of the more unusual foods I’ve tried. Japanese food is very different from western food. I took me a while to get usedContinue reading “The strangest things I’ve eaten”
What I wanted to do vs. what I actually do
Well. Well. Well. i always knew that I wanted to travel, so I figured whatever I did I’d live in a foreign country, which I do. At the time I wanted to love in Mexico or England. I’m not sure why, but it’s probably because I only knew anything about a handful of countries. 😀Continue reading “What I wanted to do vs. what I actually do”
Character Names in a Book I Can’t Pronounce
I have a confession… I can’t stand not being able to pronounce a character name in a book, so I immediately look it up. Yay social media! As a learn more about writing on my own, I have discovered how difficult it can be to name characters. Even if I have a name inContinue reading “Character Names in a Book I Can’t Pronounce”
A Project or Hobby of mine that was inspired by a book
Wow. This is a challenging one, because usually I seek books about my hobbies. And I’m interested in just about anything. I’ll go through phases of reading. Once year, it was all books about Mathematics and Mathematicians. It did not encourage to me to do more math, but it was interesting to read about. BooksContinue reading “A Project or Hobby of mine that was inspired by a book”
The Last Place I Traveled to and Why
Like most people, my travel has been limited. I haven’t been out of my prefecture (province or state) since January. The good things is, I’ve been able to visit some of the local spots and now that there are restricted openings, I decided to enjoy a few places. One of the best was Sunpu Castle,Continue reading “The Last Place I Traveled to and Why”
My go-to book or movie for a pick-me-up
Everyone needs a pick-me-up. Sometimes, I want something complicated and other times I just want escapist fun. My favorite pick me up movies are Galaxy Quest, Star Trek: First Contact, Ed Wood, and Dodgeball. I also like watching Singing in the Rain because it’s so upbeat it’s hard not to smile. My daughter really likesContinue reading “My go-to book or movie for a pick-me-up”
