Just a reminder that there were hundreds of people on social media who mocked Chadwick Boseman for his weight loss while he was secretly battling colon cancer.
Think about this before hurling an insult from behind your screen.

Map of the ME showing the two straits

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

I won't go back. Have they really changed? And they let ice stage. Nope

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:

"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."

"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

Five cut-out-and-keep bookplates 

 Each reads ‘ex-libris’ then has a space for the owners name. The design reflects the genre:
 
 Sci-fi:
 Nanotechnology tracks the book, monitors its condition and summons a retrieval drone if necessary. 
 
 Horror:
 An ancient curse creates feelings of unease, rising to apalling, abject horror unless the book is returned. 
 
 Romance :
 Acts as an invite to the county's grandest ball, but revoked if not returned in a polite and timely manner. 
 
 Crime:
 Tailed by a dishevelled Gumshoe who Seems cynical, but loves books more than dames and bourbon. 
 
 Fantasy:
 A fellowship of heroes lead the borrower on an epic quest to return the tome to its Rightful shelf.

Murder at the Wild Haggis. A cozy. Pretty good so far but I haven't decided who bumped off the nosey journalist yet.

Today in 2020 was my last day at work. Mostly normal, but also whispers of what was coming. I was calling staff the next day to close us down.

I'll tell you some areas of your collection are hard to update, if you won't take a gamble on the quality of self published stuff.

I like Lackey's Valdemar series. And there are sub-series, so you can try without a huge commitment.
Also love the Discworld books by Pratchett. Again it has sub-series
