Improbable plots:

'On a routine trip transporting ethically sourced materials in a fully explored part of the galaxy, a competent, well-adjusted crew ignore a mysterious distress call & complete the mission without mishap, receiving their salary as agreed'

Would love to hear others...

I think it’s a travesty the yellow ones don’t have a number on the spine like the old black ones used to. I mean, people could just put them in any old order and then where would we be?

An image with a 3-d book. The cover has a ship's deck with a man in a white cotton shirt, wielding a cutlass and wearing a tricorn hat. Next to him is a half-elf in a blue rope with a magic staff, and a dwarven sailor, as well as a large half-orc holding two barrels of rum with a kraken tattoo on her shoulder. The title reads, The Curse of Dragon Tail Island.

the text reads: Add it to your TBR and includes a Goodreads icon.

Interesting. I did not warm to it. Didn’t much go for his Barbarian either. Wanted to like them but they just didn’t land with me

Reached an odometer milestone for What Grows From the Dead, my most-rated book of all of them. If you're looking for a funny amateur sleuth mystery set in North Carolina, check it out!

And yet, and yet… I think about the management course where they study best practice, and the experience at a high-flying Championship side, and then - he comes here only to discover that they’re only league one players & just can’t do the stuff he coaches. He seems genuinely bewildered

Nasi goreng tonight. The recipe says ‘egg sunny side side up, optional’

Is there any world where a fried egg on top of the rice is not mandatory?

“Thomas Chatwin, Major.”
“You’re kidding me?”
“I’m sorry, ma’am?”
“Your name is Major Tom?”
“I prefer Thomas actually, ma’am.”
Juno looked at him quizzically. “Major Tom. You know, Bowie?”
