Listening Books should be having all of the Seven Kennings Trilogy on the site soon (they have Curse of Krackens on already). I'm just waiting for the first two to go up.
I miss Sheffield Space Centre, but going there was problematic even before we moved to Durham.
I really should be reading the Marie Brennan book I borrowed from the library, but Star Wars: Brotherhood is calling. I shall be going to town next week and I hope that Waterstones has the third book in the 'Disney' Thrawn trilogy, but I doubt it as they didn't have it the last few times that I've been. I don't know if or how they will fit in with the Legends Timeline... (I hope that they do, 'cos we need more Thrawn

in that timeline. I only get the Disney TL stuff if I think that it will fit in with Legends.

I should have read the Thrawn books already.

Apparently, it is going to be sunny at 6pm tomorrow... How can it be 'sunny' when sunset would have occurred by then?
Microsoft paint was never a great program, but the one that is currently with Windows 11 is absolutely useless. They've taken out all of the tools that make the thing useable and you can't even change the colour of your text. I won't be making link buttons in the future.

There is a code generator - I've used it before, yonks ago, but I couldn't remember the name of the website, and wasn't sure if it would still be up since people can't always continue to pay for hosting and domain names, but I've found it, thankfully. Bookmark it, folks, because it's useful.

I get tired of people saying use your local library because most of the time when there is a book I want to read, the library doesn't carry the book.

What books are you looking for?

bright-eyes 1 month ago

It's too many to list, and the local bookshop isn't great on what it carries, either.

Last month, I painted the outside of some white mdf bookcases that I bought a while ago because the finish on the mdf had got a bit damp stained. (It probably happened because in our previous home, they were by the door leading outside so they probably picked up damp during the winter as I was going in and out of the door with the dog.) Normally, I don't get white furniture because it stains easily and only get it

when the piece isn't available in oak, or pine. I don't like dark coloured woods because it's too dark, or black furniture for the same reason, so I avoid that too. Now the fantasy paperbacks need to sorted and put into their place. I have already sorted the Star Wars books, the fantasy hardbacks, and the Urban fantasy books for the most part.

My science and natural history books, for the most part, occupy the large Ikea bookcase we got last year, but it does need a bit of sorting.

I sometimes forget the Pern books are about sci-fi because they have dragons in them - they can go with the Timothy Zahn books. I don't really have that many sci-fi books compared to fantasy, and of the ones that I do have, most of them are Timothy Zahn's work.

Started reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries again. Started from the beginning because I'd forgotten what had happened in it, but it was worth it because I'm back to where I was in the book. It's great, but I had to take a break while that eye problem I had at the start of summer sorted itself out.
On one of my Anne McCaffrey books, I noticed a price hike for New Zealand and Australia on the pricing - it was published in 1989, so it has 1989 prices on it - in the UK, it was £3.99, in New Zealand, it was $14.99, and in Australia it was $10.99. It was a paperback. So it made me curious to see what the exchange rate is now and looking on a New Zealand website, paperbacks are $28 - $36, hardbacks are a whopping $65

and bear in mind, these are fiction books, not academic textbooks. The exchange rate is currently $2.11 to every £1, so a New Zealander is paying three times the cost that a book does here.

Pern looks like two maps of Mars joined together, with one turned upside down.
I'm enjoying reading Echoes of the Runes. It's not your regular romance story since there is a lot of archeology in it (but not too much description for people who don't know much about the field.) If I didn't have a load of other books lined up already, I would read the others in the series. I'll probably read the rest when I have a slow down with other

One thing I have noticed with art (and this is from the perspective of someone who hasn't gone through art college/university, etc) is that your drawing 'style' becomes fixed and you can't change it easily. I have always wanted to draw animals, plants, mushrooms, and landscapes in the same way you find in traditional natural history and scientific illustration books but can't. I put inverted commas around the word -

'style' because to not use them implies something that you choose and I find it's not.

For Inktober, I was going to work my way through some animals again, but I came across this prompt list on youtube - https://www.instagram.com/mabgraves?igsh=azdmcHpxYWNsamd1 , so I'll be doing that one instead. I've been wanting to do a spooky/Halloween themed challenge for some time, so this will do. I'm using

an old sketchbook which I bought back in 2014, but never actually drew in it. The paper is not that brilliant, so I'm going to be using pencil, graphite and charcoal on it (I don't tend to use those as I prefer colour drawings.) I also have some grey scale brush makers, some cheap fine-liners and some old pens from Scrawlrbox from a couple of years ago that I want to use up. (I'm sure that the scrawlrbox markers are

on the verge of drying up, so it's time to use them, I think.

I was hoping that the new James Butcher book would be coming out next month so that it could be my 'Halloween' read, but it won't be out until March next year... (No idea why), so I might read The Wolf's Hour instead, but there are some books from the library that are on my reading list that I need to get through, so we'll see.
bright-eyes 1 month ago

I did read The Wolf's hour in the early 2000's (2004 - 2005 ish) but I've long since forgotten most of the book. The only thing I remember about it was that female werewolves sometimes lose their babies when they change and that the main character was fighting the Nazi's, but it was a good book for the time and it was published before the urban fantasy boom of the mid 2000's.
