The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"!
Weekly Tidbits
The KC Chiefs are Super Bowl champs!
Who knew they had SeaQuest DSV toys back in the '90s? I didn't. I stumbled upon the "Darwin" toy at an antique store and paid $5 for it.
What Am I Currently Reading?
I'll start reading Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: High Country by John Jackson Miller sometime today.
What's in the Mail?
Simon & Schuster sent me two Star Trek: Prodigy tie-in children's books to review.
I received Agent in Place by Mark Greaney, a book I had ordered from Hamilton Books, and no, I didn't pay $9.99 for it; I actually paid only $4.99. Then I received Charles R. Swindoll's book, Life is 10% What Happens to You and 90% How You React, from Amazon.
What's New on the Shelf?
Last Monday, I picked up the following paperbacks at the thrift store: The Sixth Man by David Baldacci; Five Passengers from Lisbon by Mignon G. Eberhart; and Spaceballs: The Book by Jovial Bob Stine (R.L. Stine).
At the same antique store where I bought the Darwin toy, I also picked up the paperbacks Back Blast by Mark Greaney and The Third Kingdom by Terry Goodkind. At a bargain-type store, I found The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly and Piranha by Clive Cussler and Boyd Morrison. Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule was finally on sale again on Kindle, so I bought it for $1.99.
The Supernova title makes me think of a fabulous Chinese scifi I read some time ago: Supernova Era, by Cixin Liu - the most popular Chinese author of science-fiction. Highly recommended: https://wordsandpeace.com/2019/10/18/book-review-supernova-era/
On the first Monday of every month, when the coffee’s strong and the inbox is quiet, a little dispatch arrives. It carries the scent of last month’s book and movie reviews, the echoes of weekly blog hops, and the occasional ramble scribbled between sips. It’s not urgent. It’s not polished. But it’s honest—and it’s yours if you want it.
Bookworm extraordinaire with a caffeine addiction, I’ve spent years dodging reality in the pages of novels—from spine-tingling thrillers to Westerns that make me feel like a cowboy. Join my chaotic love affair with books and movies at Ramblings of a Coffee-Addicted Writer and Gunsmoke & Grit—where words flow faster than my coffee supply!
