I have not seen anyone within the Heathen community bring this up, so I suppose I will. I've avoided Gaiman's book, Norse Mythology, simply because as a fiction author, they don't always differentiate between their 'head canon' and what has been found in the original sagas, Eddas, and archeological discoveries and present their 'head canon' as fact. As his books are popular due to the TV series American Gods, it's
In regards to Nehalennia research, I've bought another e-book today (I could have got it an hard copy of it, but it seemed that getting it was unreliable, so I got the e-book version instead.) It is taking a while, but as there aren't a lot of book sources, mostly academic journal articles and
So far, this year, I've got through about 16 books - a couple were unfinished because of problems, and I did listen to some James Herriot books at the start of the year on audible (the trouble with those is that I can't remember which ones I started listening to this year and I had listened to a couple last year so I've not recorded them. The books I didn't finish weren't bad - stuff happened that meant I couldn't

finish them. At the end of the year, I hope to have a good idea of how many books I can get through in a year - I plan on it being one a week, give or take, depending on the book's length.

I had some luck today when I was out at the shops - there were a bunch of Anne Mcaffrey books in the RSPCA charity shop there. (I already had three, but I wasn't sure if I had them or not, so I got them anyway and discovered that I had them when I got back home.) I have about 9 in the Pern series now and there were a couple from her other series. Since my suspicion that some books in the past 4 years or so have had

AI used in them, books from that era are even more my preferred go to when it comes to reading. (It's quite ironic, given the fact that I like Sci-Fi.) I'll probably get to these after I've read the Firekeeper/Blindseer books again (I have read those books before, but the author has released a couple more in the series and it's been just over a decade since I read them and I want to re-read them before getting to the

I discovered today that the Stargate novels that were published in the mid 2000's are now on Kindle, so I might get those again - I got rid of them previously because I had limited room for books and I wanted to keep books that I enjoyed more at the time.

Dear Facebook, ads are annoying. Promoting groups and pages to me that I don't follow are annoying. If I was interested in them, I would be following them and I'm not. All this promoting does is ensure that they get blocked. (I don't have a problem with the group/page itself, but I don't want to see it popping up randomly on my timeline.) Facebook is becoming unusable.
I really hate USB charging cables.

They need to make things safe for predestinations to access them, as well. During the 90's and early 2000s, I walked all over the place with my first collie in the village where I grew up. Car traffic wasn't too bad, but over the past decade, I found it increasingly difficult to get to places where I could walk Max and my other dogs without having to dodge traffic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1k3719g0p4o

For Max (and Colin), in particular, it was bad because both of them were scared of traffic and having cars and worse, lorries trundling down roads with no space for pedestrians was a night mare. Where we live now, you can't access countryside areas without loads of traffic being in the way, and one area I found was blocked off, so it's a road nightmare. I've even encountered this problem deep in the countryside, and

country lanes aren't fit for purpose with the amount of traffic on today's roads and many drivers think they can speed everywhere.

I started listening to the first of the Scholomance books by Noami Novik. It's not as bad as I expected, but not that great either... I would say that it's middling. It's well written enough to keep my attention but there isn't a lot of depth to the characters. I think if you've read and enjoyed the Harry Potter books, you expect everything to be of a similar depth, both character-wise and world building wise.
I've got both books from the library now as I picked the next one up today. Observation: the font in hardbacks is larger and easier to read, so in future, I'm going to have to get the hardback editions of books if I want to read them. Which is great because either: They are more expensive. Not every book has a hardback edition.
Are alcohol markers worth the money? Last year, when I was packing to move, I marked my boxes with black marker pens (some were sharpies, some were a popular brand called Ohuhu) so I knew what was in them. Some time last autumn, I put a box with some lego into the garage as I needed to make some space in the house (we hardly had any furniture, so there were boxes and boxes everywhere - I needed to move things so -

that I had room to build furniture, and to get it in.) I had written Lego on the box - there is a window in the garage and I put the box near it and a few weeks ago, I was moving things back into the house... I had forgotten what was in the box and the label had faded to almost nothing so I had to open it to find out what was in there.

It got me thinking - are alcohol markers worth the money? Of all the various art supplies you can buy, alcohol markers can be one of the most expensive ones, particularly if you get a brand like Copic, and there are all those manga and comic book artists out there who happily use them in their work, but if you keep the art work in the light, eventually it will fade to nothing. I knew that they faded, but I wasn't

bright-eyes 10 months ago

expecting the fade to be that dramatic. It begs the question: is it ethical for a company like the producers of Copic to charge so much for their markers? Will we lose vast amounts of art to fading? There are copies, of course, printed, digital, etc, but none of them will be the original and it will be gone.

We also seem to be having an on going problem with BT... The internet has been crap ever since we moved here but some days you just can't get the thing to work properly, no matter how many times you restart your computer and restart the hub's buffer...

I've moved a load of stuff from the room where I want to get the bookcases for so that I've got room to put the bookcases up, and found a load of stuff I'd lost track of. Apparently, there is a bag of clothes that I need to go through, and I'd actually thought that I'd gone through everything. Joy! The clothes get on my nerves to be honest... There are some organizing/house tidying/decluttering channels on youtube

So, I have some books lined up for reading - Turning Darkness into Light by Marie Brennen The Emily Wilde Series by Heather Fawcett The Scholomance by Naomi Novik (I'm not certain that I will like this series - I love Novik's Temeraire series, but I've not enjoyed her other books that much, plus it has teenage characters in it and I suspect it's one of those YA inspired books which I dislike, but I'm giving it a

chance because of the author,) and a few Star Wars books.

The BBC is making a fuss over a 13 year old child (girl) who got involved in the race riots and mobs at the start of the month. Come on, BBC, you can do better than that. A child isn't really responsible. I want to see the 40 odd year old, KKK skin head getting convicted who incited it.
I've found my 'missing' acrylic paint...
Finished listening to Within the Sanctuary of Wings. It's a great series and I've really enjoyed them. They remind me very much so of Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle, the discovery of the Roseta Stone and the beginning of the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs and the discovery of dinosaurs in the 19th century. They are also reminiscent of the early sci-fi books that took inspiration from discoveries in geology

during that period, so I consider them to be science fiction, rather than fantasy, despite them being about dragons.
