[Dr Bonezee]

Currently reading Revenant! About half way through, loving it so far. Also started on the first of the Dominion War Books.

Ive heard that people generally dont like enterprise very much compared to the other series, but i wanted to go in a loosely chronological order, following this guide. I expect ill be jumping around a little, though, just to taste whats to come.

Oh, I get it.

I genuinely watch so little tv that anything is a fun and exciting indulgence. Im just trying to get myself off of instagram reels and youtube and on to long(er) form media! Im going at a snails pace. Not really used to this at all.

I have to confess that im going through DTI more than a little confused. I think thats only to be expected for someone who has no knowledge of the events being referenced, but i think that itll be so fun to stumble across something in a show and say, ah! I know this one, lucsly mentioned it! Its already happened a little bit what with the temporal cold war and all in enterprise.

Oh, just a warning, you will possibly come across some spoilers for the later seasons of Enterprise in the DTI book, if you're worried about that kind of thing.

There's also an SCE story tales of the Dominion War, but it's been a while since I read it, so I can't remember exactly which characters it was about.

It's called "Field Expediency," it's written by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore, and it focuses on Duffy and Stevens.

Hope you enjoyed it!

I wrote about 40% of that book while on jury duty -- a six-and-a-half-week civil trial that was an absolute nightmare. However, everyone involved in that case -- my fellow jurors, the plaintiff, the lawyers, the judge, the court officer, and the clerk -- had either characters or ships named after them in the novel.

~ I enjoyed it very much, thank you! It's been several years since I last read it and it was nice to revisit (and remember!) everything.
To be immortalised in a Star Trek novel - however tangentially - would make jury duty worthwhile, in my opinion (well, along with doing one's bit for society and justice, of course ). What a lovely thing to do!

The House Across the Lake by Riley Sagar.

Basically, a modern-day take on Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW. I'm enjoying it so far.

 

[I am not Herbert]

collected stories of T.C. Boyle

The Irrational Man - W. Barrett

 

[Faldor]

I'm having a Peter David memorial deep dive, I've just read Knight Life and Vendetta and I've now started Q-in-Law.

I read all of New Frontier a year or two ago after having only read the first half dozen back in the day and am finally getting round to his TNG books that I've been hearing about for as long as I can remember.

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

The March issue of Smithsonian. And this morning, I read the prologue of JS's new SNW novel.

[Starbreaker]

This month I finished off

Never Flinch by Stephen King
The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi

and I've been listening to the Graphic Audio version of Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. I'm about 80% done so I should be finished on Wednesday.

I was in a comic book mood, so I'm taking a break from The Fall of Terok Nor, and Leia, Princess of Alderaan, and I started borrowed the digital version of Star Trek Classics 2: Enemy Unseen, IDW's reprint of the TNG collection with Perchance to Dream, Embrace the Wolf, and The Killing Shadows. I'm on Perchance to Dream, which was written by @KRAD, with pencils by Peter Pachoumis & Scott Benefiel, inks by Lucian Rizzo and Jason Martin, colors by Wildstorm FX, and letters by Ryan Cline, Rob Robbins, and Naghmeh Zand.

Now roughly 2/3 of the way through Toward the Night.

 

[Smiley]

I'm reading The Art of Star Trek, which covers the art and general history of the first 30 years of the franchise.

Alongside that, I'm also going through Star Trek's novelization by Alan Dean Foster for the first time.

 

[Reanok]

Scone cold dead by Maddie Day

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Only one chapter left in Toward the Night. The scientist we met in the prologue has just emerged.

 

[Faldor]

I just finished Q-in-Law, which was a lot of fun.

 

[John Clark]

Getting close to the end of Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao (Sequel to Iron Widow).

Pretty decent

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Finished Toward the Night. Loved it.

Now reading the (I think) April issue of Model Railroader, when I'm not working on my novel

I decided to go ahead and work with the freelance editor I met in church, and she had some really good insights on what she's seen so far (the first 25% of the book). She also gave me some much-needed validation that the changes made in the top-to-bottom, mostly-from-memory rewrite that I'd spent the past few years doing in the wake of the rather unpleasant workshop experience had fixed the worst of the problems (i.e., expecting readers to automatically "get" things that only those who shared my life experiences would be able to).

Current reading: THOR by Wayne Smith.

A werewolf novel told from the POV of the family dog, this book has been on my TBR list for YEARS, even surviving a couple a couple of bookshelf purges and household moves because "oh, right, I still need to read this one," but it kept gathering dust while newer books and authors seized my attention.

Finally started it the other night, and, yes, it's just as good as I've always heard!
