They're just doing what Seven of Nine told them to do.

Book 21: Dungeons & Dragons: Spelljammer: Memory's Wake by Django Wexler. It's a new D&D novel. I haven't read a Spelljammer book before, nor have I played in the setting, but I want to! The ship bits sound like a lot of fun. I may dive further for a future campaign.

Book 20: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Yes, I've read the book before. This new audio release is narrated by Andy Serkis, AKA Gollum from the Peter Jackson films. I loved his work, just as I did with his LotR books. Of course, the "Riddles in the Dark" chapter is especially great.

Book 19: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. My first Earthsea book. I enjoyed it!

Catching up in my 2024 books. I think my infographic approach is a fool's errand. I drag my feet before making the actual graphic. In this case, I'm actually five books behind, but here's three to help catch up.

The new version is the Blåliden. It's slightly narrower and has metal framing around it. www.ikea.com/us/en/p/blal...

I just learned that IKEA discontinued the Detolf glass cabinet, and now I'm inconsolable.

But then the toys confront Sid. Woody even talks to Sid. Maybe it's initially involuntary, but toys can make the conscious decision to snap out of it if they try hard enough.

I'll second this one. If you like Doctor Who, this is basically Dan Scott writing Silver Surfer as the Doctor.

Saga is also great for a sci-fi/fantasy mix outside of superhero comics. It's heart wrenching. It had a long hiatus, and I haven't jumped back since it started up again, but the first 54 issues are superb.

If you like Rat Queens and want a fun fantasy book, Gail Simone's run on Red Sonja will probably be up your alley.

Rowell's run is split into two: "She-Hulk" and "Sensational She-Hulk." The latter is wrapping up soon. It's got fun romcom and lawyery stuff. Charles Soule's run was also great too. I liked the Slott run. The issue with Spidey suing the Bugle was my first She-Hulk issue.

That's quite the spread. Any particular She-Hulk run? The current one by Rainbow Rowell is fantastic.

much appreciation for the manga-style Jurassic Park merch being available at Universal Studios Hollywood. I got a cool shirt of the gallimimus scene!

The last paragraph describes how they find out who you are. Wouldn't they know who you are by the fact that you're asking for a refund on a purchase you made?

Book 18 of 2024: The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty. Thumbs up. www.instagram.com/p/C8ircKSua_F/

I'm now four books behind. Committing to making infographics for each of my books this year is definitely a time sink, but it helps get my thoughts in order.

Can anyone recommend sci fi or fantasy lit that features a legal matter as a major plot point? Reskeets appreciated.

BILBO: Happy Friday! GANDALF: What do you mean? Do you wish me a happy Friday, or mean that it is a happy Friday whether I want it or not; or that you feel happy this Friday; or that it is a Friday to be happy on? BILBO: All of them at once, I suppose.

Yoda's chapter in 'From a Certain Point of View' goes into him being in the Leia camp, figuring that Luke would be too much like Anakin. That's good fodder to back up your theory.

Probably, but that's also been in the rumor mill for years, so nothing new there.

Nick would be a good pick. It suits their brand more than it ever did Disney. The catch is navigating the urges of doing the usual business of a kids show vs doing nostalgia MMPR grabs for older fans. Hasbro seems more in for the latter, but I don't think there's enough of a market there.

With as much as Hasbro has been spinning off, like selling eOne and getting Playmates to take over some production, I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch PR sometime soon. Would we get a 2nd Neo Saban era?

Was the Netflix show going to be a new iteration still aimed at kids or a nostalgia sequel to MMPR aimed at its original audience?

One of the reasons we left the state. We moved to GA so we could be somewhere close to another set of family while still having cheaper rent and child care.

Dragon Age 4 retitled from "Dreadwolf" to "The Veilguard." I love the franchise and still look forward to 4 after a long wait. I just have one nitpick with the name change: Why the "the"? It wasn't Dragon Age: The Inquisition. It wasn't Dragon Age: The Origins. It wasn't Dragon Age: The 2.
