Due to the shortened format of posting on Bluesky, I am condensing how I list the books I read/listened to during 2025. Rather than list every book individually, I'm grouping them by series and author. Thus, here is the condensed version of the books I consumed during the last year: 📚
Just did our first pass shoveling the drive and sidewalks. It was probably 6 inches already... ❄️ #neweangland #snowstorm

Just finished the 📚 Greenbone Saga by Fonda Lee (Jade City, Jade War, and Jade Legacy). Loved it, especially Legacy. The first time jump in Legacy took me by surprise, but once I understood and got used to it, I really like the way it was handled.

The Sword of Kaigen (📚 by ML Wang) turned out to be quite different from what I expected, but I really did enjoy it!

Just finished my reread of Mistborn 1. It had been a while, and was fun to read remembering certain secrets that are revealed later and seeing how they are foreshadowed. 📚

Just finished Isles of the Emberdark and considering what I want to read next... First I figured, 'Let's do Mistborn Era Two!' Then I changed my mind to, 'Why not start at the beginning with Era One?'
So, here we go! 📚

Just saw the beginning of a headline: "John Williams, the legendary composer behind Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and the original Superman theme"
I opened to finish the sentence: "admits he 'never liked film music very much.'"
He's 93 years old! Don't make me think he died by clipping the end short!

I never thought about it before I left Instagram / Facebook, but it really is inconvenient when a business only has their information viewable after you log in to your account first. It's great business for Meta, and even though it's free, it may as well be a paywall for someone like me.

Went camping and did some campfire Dutch oven cooking the other day. Made a variation on what my family calls 'Chicken Cheese Biscuit' for the first time and it turned out great! #cooking #campfire #dutchoven

Ok I just finished Wicked (see my earlier post). The second half had some interesting bits, and some long boring bits (sitting around Kiamo Ko foreeever...). Having seen the musical production I had a few expectations for some of the characters. Yes, I knew some differences, but (cont...) 📚 #booksky

So, I'm reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Gregory Maguire). I knew it was quite different from the musical adaptation, and I'm only about halfway through, but so far I would say the two are only loosely related to each other. Maybe second cousins... 📚 #booksky

English style pie night! @derekandrich.bsky.social made steak, ale and mushroom pies from scratch with mashed potatoes and peas. They're perfect! (Not going to be able to finish in one sitting as they're 500+ grams!)

I never mentioned it but my next audiobook was Mark of the Fool (by J.M. Clarke), and I sped through it so fast I'm already starting the third installment. It's fun, easy, and entertaining. 📚 #booksky
