Bloke I watch on Youtube (for Lego content) : Costco makes me want to go on a massive shopping spree.... Me: Everything makes you want to go on a massive shopping spree! I like the fact that he finds ways of enjoying his hobby instead of it being left hoarded in unopened boxes and stashed messily away in boxes, never to see the light of day, but boy does he know how to spend money.
This week seems to be a series of minor crisis's. I wonder what tomorrow will have in store?
Reading Goals for the rest of the year: How to Tame a Fox, (academic text book on domesticating foxes), Star Wars: The Living Force (2nd attempt at reading - had to stop because of the eye problems), Wolf's Brother (sequel to the Reindeer People), The Curse of the Mistwraith by Janny Wurts, Hornblower and the Hotspur, and the first four books of Bernard Cornwell's Last Kingdom series.

I will also do the Seven Kennings trilogy if Listening Books get the rest of them online, and The Last Kingdom are on Listening books so I'll probably listen to them in the evenings.

From the library, I will be requesting the rest of the series of the Janny Wurts books and the rest of the Hornblower series. (I've already listened to Mr Midshipman Hornblower and Lieutenant Hornblower on audible. At the time I listened to them, they were free with audible membership, but it can change so you might have to pay for them now.)
I've started reading Megan Lindholm's (aka Robin Hobb's) The Raindeer People. It is one of the books that came on Saturday. One of the characters, Kerlew, is Austic. It's yet to become clear if it's based on the Sami culture, or Inuit people's. I should know more than I do about the Sami.
I think Janny Wurt's The Curse of the Mistwraith has got to hold the record for a mass market paperback fiction book, @ £14.99... And it's the small format, not the tall format that is about the size of an hardback. That is steep. In the 90's Tolkien's books, especially the combined volume edition of LOTR held the record @ £7.99. I don't recall how much The History of Middle Earth volumes were, but they were higher
My consignment of books from Harper-Colins came this tea time, so I am going to give the Irregular Witches one a miss - it's too chick-lity for my taste. Maybe if there weren't as many books on my list that I know that I will enjoy better, I would have continued with it, but I suspect that I am just not the target audience for it.
Apparently, Deviant Art now advertise websites that have AI art generators. Why? Originality and creativity has vanished.

Just finished The Waking of Angantyr, and it's a good book for people wanting a book with an Icelandic Saga flavour. I'm not certain if I will continue with The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches - I don't find books which are adjacent to chick-lit very engaging.
He is the walking embodiment of the Shania Twain song, Ka-Ching!
