I picked up the oven mitt I used to remove the thermometer from the ribs and found a bee underneath it. So I let him finish inspecting and fly off.
300 day reading streak. 183 week reading streak.
I have read a lot of good books this year.
My Friends by Fredrik Backman destroyed me with its storytelling and writing. So painfully beautiful.
He Who Fights Monsters 12 by Shirtaloon, a 12 book LitRPG series that I’ve fallen in love with. I binged through the series after reading…
Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. The most fun I’ve had in years. Another LitRPG series with a fantastical cast of characters. I’ve laughed and cried through the 7 book series. (With more in the way.)
Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky a wonderful tale of a robot just trying to do its job and take care of the house.
I Who Have Never Known Men by
Jacqueline Harpman a stark tale or curiosity and survival.
A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck where a simple task can be infinite.
Not Till We Are Lost (Bobiverse #5) by Dennis E. Taylor, the most recent entry into the Bobiverse series. Where human consciousness is replicated and explores the galaxy.

It’s been a long time and I really debated buying tickets to this show. I’ve seen sick and concert tickets are ridiculously expensive. But this is Nine Inch Nails. This is my favorite band. This is a lifelong love.
There may never be another chance to see them play again and I will not miss this opportunity. I am so excited.
I am listening to the Tension Tour video as my soundtrack for the day. The backing vocalists on All Time Low and Sanctified elevate Trent’s solo growls to a duet and it’s a thing of beauty.
