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

Time to go to work, I guess... (I work mostly outside 🥶)

I don't think I'm going to be using the backyard chairs today...

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!

"At first glance, the key and the lock it fits may seem very different," Sazed said. "Different in shape, different in function, different in design. The man who looks at them without knowledge of their true nature might think them opposites, (cont...) #mistborn #quotes 📚

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

@derekandrich.bsky.social 's first power washer. It's like a magic eraser machine!

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
