Thankfully, I won't be buying anything new for the next few weeks as I'm preparing to go to the Rhode Island Comic Con. I'll have to have money for that so I'm limiting my use of what is laughably called my discretionary income.<br /><br />I'm covering the event so at least I get in free, but since one of the stars from Firefly is going to be there, it means a part of my day will be spent in line waiting to meet him.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-14664620973928721552018-10-22T14:59:42.098-04:002018-10-22T14:59:42.098-04:00I have to get the new Sara Paretsky novel too.

Finally getting around to reading it.<br /><br />I'm also looking forward to starting two books (prose) that I picked up at the comic convention last weekend. The first is a sci-fi novel called "Infinite Velocity". It's by a guy named Colin Carlton. The pitch for the book is "Imagine if the crew of Serenity found an abandoned starship Enterprise. 10 second pitch and I was sold.<br /><br />The other book I got from author Stacey Longo, who was one of the three authors on a writer's panel called "Anthologies and the New Writer" that I attended while at the comic convention. I enjoyed the panel so I talked to all three writers and ended up with a copy of her "My Sister The Zombie" book.<br /><br />Lyda, I'm by no means an expert just a big fan of comics. But the collections I'm reading are Volume 9 of The New Teen Titans and Volume 1 of Marvel Two-In-One.<br /><br />You should have a real eye opening time at the LA convention. Wait til you get a load of the creativity of cosplayers.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-71085444070426822592018-10-22T14:57:14.936-04:002018-10-22T14:57:14.936-04:00And when is the next Rivers of London book coming ...And when is the next Rivers of London book coming out?Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-77222853672941943312018-10-22T14:55:55.322-04:002018-10-22T14:55:55.322-04:00I'm currently reading The Bad Luck Bride by Ja...I'm currently reading The Bad Luck Bride by Janna MacGregor. Finished The Vampire Knitting Club with great enjoyment. Listened to Faithful Place by Tana French; so glad I didn't grow up in a Dublin slum. I just finished Murder Flies the Coop by Jessica Ellicott; I enjoy her characters and the time period. Read Patricia Wynn's latest early Georgian historical, Whisper of Death. I have two library books coming up: The Darling Dahlias and the Poinsettia Puzzle by Susan Wittig Albert and Charlaine Harris' latest: An Easy Death. Coming up is Carolyn Haines' Gift of Bones, Deborah Harkness'Time's Convert, Susanna Kearsley's Bellewether, Steve Burrows' A Shimmer of Hummingbirds, Maggie Toussaint's Dadgummit. Oh and I have the latest Charles Finch at NetGalley to read. And I look forward to the latest Elly Griffith Ruth Galloway, Charles Todd either series, and Frances Brody Kate Shackelton!Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28198822959865335302018-10-22T14:55:40.151-04:002018-10-22T14:55:40.151-04:00Oooh!

He has a series based on a homeless man called Ben, and it is hilarious.

I appreciated that the filmmakers got it “right” that the space missions were hard and dangerous and required a great deal of sacrifice on the part of the men flying them. The astronauts were “on the edge of their seats” throughout their missions, never knowing what challenge might spring up or what unexpected situation they might have to address. The movie made you feel as if you were right there in the spacecraft with the astronauts . . . it was absolutely amazing!<br /><br />Ingrid, I wouldn’t describe Neil Armstrong as either disconnected or unemotional, but he did keep things to himself; he had a well-deserved reputation for being very private and not seeking publicity. He just wanted to do his job in the best way possible. As a pilot, he had a reputation, both in aircraft and spacecraft, for being virtually unflappable, able to handle any situation with exceptional calm. I interpreted the character in the film as having grace rather than as being unemotional.<br /><br />Perhaps the loss of his daughter at the age of two had something to do with him keeping his emotions “locked down” and to himself; losing a child is unfathomably tragic and makes you a completely different person than you were before that loss. <br /><br />In any event, when I met him, I found him to be very gracious and friendly.
