Mitä tästä kirjasta sanoisi? Hullu, hullumpi, hulluin kuu? Kyllähän tässä huumoria oli havaittavissa, mutta ihan ei kirja eikä kuu pysynyt kasassa.

Meh, I really hate #Running later than 11 am. But it was a really full morning, playing the #trumpet for ~3 hours, conducting, whirring around and tending to stuff. So there was no other way. And it had *one* upside: No spikes, what a relief (which is not to say I don’t love my EXOspikes, but running without them because there‘s not that much ice anymore, well, has its own benefits). I had company: THE LAST COLONY by the one and only #JohnScalzi. Great, as it is each time! #applewatchultra3

Ok, sick break‘s over, back to my usual schedule: A half marathon in the morning is good for me, makes me feel waaaayyy better than anything else. And finishing OLD MAN‘S WAR and going directly into THE GHOST BRIGADES is another way to improve my day. #Running #winter #JohnScalzi #audiobooks #applewatchultra3

Rich people show their appreciation through favors. When everyone you know has more money than they know what to do with, money stops being a useful transactional tool. So instead you offer favors. Deals. Quid pro quos. Things that involve personal involvement rather than money. Because when you’re that rich, your personal time is your limiting factor.
John Scalzi (b. 1969) American writer

I‘m a little under the weather, but I have tongo to work (two classes have tests next week, I can’t skip the last lesson before that). Lots of coworkers sick at home, so quite a load extra this week. And my voice is already on the brink… But, in other/better news: The run was ok, the audiobook was great, I started this run with OLD MAN‘S WAR by John Scalzi. Always a pleasure, and it’s my first run-through in English. Yeah! #Running #applewatchultra3 #audiobooks #JohnScalzi

My father deals with millionaires and billionaires on a daily basis, the sort of people who have egos just this side (and sometimes way over the edge) of sociopathy. The sort of person who thinks he’s the apex predator wading through a universe of sheep.

Starting on Scalzi’s redshirts. Far as I can tell, it’s a pitch for Lower Decks.
Strong start so far.

I’m enjoying my Godzilla fan fiction. About 3/4 of the way in.

Just need “The Ghost Brigades” and I’ll have the whole series! I’d also like “Old Man’s War” in hardcover but I’ve already got two copies in paperback so a third might be a bit much. #Books #BookSky #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar #SFF cc. @[email protected]

Started reading The Kaiju Preservation Society. It’s weird reading a novel recent enough to take place during the pandemic.

📚 Braved the mall on X-mas Eve and snagged two more books from a second-hand bookstore. Almost have the whole series! 🏷️ #BookSky #JohnScalzi #SciFi #SFF

Burned through #TheShatteringPeace by #JohnScalzi in a couple of days. Classic Scalzi space-opera-and-snark romp, with lots of my beloved Obin. (I read them in Alan Tudyk's voice). Ready for the next book now.

A year ago, award winning author John Scalzi came to Medina and did a Q&A at our local library. Afterwards, he was gracious enough to do a book signing.

Throwback Thursday 2 – Solar Eclipse Boogaloo
I just finished John Scalzi’s When The Moon Hits Your Eye and, seeing as the story included the solar eclipse from April 2024, I figured I’d share the shot I took of the eclipse from my deck.

Going to finish putting on a clean comforter cover, get ready for bed, and spend an hour or so reading. It's how I calm my brain down at the end of the day. Previously it was #SpindlesEnd by #RobinMcKinley. Now it's #Redshirts by #JohnScalzi.

Whoa, I‘m totally into this new @scalzi novel (THE SHATTERING PEACE)! Lots and lots of my favorite characters show up and participate in the action, just an awesome experience. This, I didn’t really pay *that* much attention to my surroundings, luckily no rocks or trees decided to jump into my way. For a short sleep, it was quite a quick run, more of the latter, please! #Running #applewatchultra2 #audiobooks #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar

Three more days, then I‘ll break through that 7,000 kilometers wall I was pushing against. And today was great, I did a really quick run, at least compared to last week. The best part: Listening to the fantastic new @scalzi novel, THE SHATTERING PEACE. So long have we been waiting for the next installment in the OLD MAN‘S WAR series, now it’s here and I dove in head first. #Running #applewatchultra2 #audiobooks #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar

Erzschurken mit Katzen, Space Laser, Killer Delfine, Vulkan Verstecke - STARTER VILLAIN hat eigentlich alles was eine Satire ausmacht. Empfehle ich jedem der eine kurzweilige und wirklich witzig-abstruse Geschichte mag!

Reading Scalzi's "Starter Villian"
Read it for the cats, love it for the techbro takedowns.
https://www.changinghands.com/book/9781250879394
Last year I read Scalzi's "The Kaiju Preservation Society" which also had something to say about techbros
Scalzi is here on the Fediverse with us, but doesn't often tell us about his burrito crimes

@orbitalmayo @Gjoel #wilwheaton does an excellent job of narrating audiobooks - my personal favorites are #ReadyPlayerOne and Two by #ErnestCline as well as Redshirts and The Kaiju Preservation Society by #johnscalzi. He really brings these books to life.
