My first Goldsboro Books Premier Edition came today. It is a beauty. I subscribed to it because I was pretty sure I would gets some good books by authors I might not have found on my own. This one looks right up my alley. Dead Sweet by Katrin Juliusdottir.

I am reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. It is easily my favorite book I have read this year. I think it might be the most I have laughed out loud since I first read @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens.

It is exactly what I needed right now.

Tonight on a cruise ship hundreds of miles away we had to say goodbye to our good friend troubadour. He was simply the best cat friend whom I have ever had in my life. I will miss him terribly.

The Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio is fire. While you can see the influence of Dune all over it. It still feels unique and original. I am completely hooked.
