Agreed. For actual Seattle residents, Starbucks is the most mainstream, but not the best brand of coffee shop available.

He was from Denia, on the East coast.

Grandfather. Unfortunately he passed before I was born.

I'm from California, USA. But the family name comes from Spain.

Looks like you made it...

The AIs are just helping the earth and surviving the best they know how. This is a brilliant story about the power of story, strong (female, African) individuals, and has a twist that at the end of the book you don't know which timeline contains the author and which is the story.
Recommend! 👍👍👍

"Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor-
This book. Wow.
This story was a vaccine to the existential dread I've been feeling about the ChatGPT/AI apocalypse.
The story is post-human, and it is about AI's running the world, but the robots/Ais did not cause the apocalypse. (continued)

"Nettle and Bone" by T Kingfisher.
A great modern fairy tail. I will definitely be exploring their other books. "A Sorceress Comes to Call" is on the TBR list.

"The Consuming Fire" was great. I've got #3 on hold.

Yeah, I thought it was something I must have missed among the many things, and then saw a promo for it the week after I binged it, lol.

I finished the super difficult vent trim! I'm fairly confident it will be safe and leak-free.
I just have to finish the trim around the ridge cap and gables, and a little of the transition (as you can see). A little time and some parts and it's done...

On a side note, it's slightly freaky that I grew up around the same place as the author. When a character named Marce showed up (I grew up as Marc), who is the son of the duke of Claremont, alarms went off in my head.

"The Collapsing Empire" by John Scalzi was great. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series. I'll be reading #2 next.
I really enjoy the potty mouthed sarcastic characters in these books. Also the idea that the binary has been completely removed from marriage and sexual relationships.

Finished the valley (YAY!), and now working on the vent trim.
This part is the hardest so far, since it's in the middle of a transition. I think many roofers would run away screaming, and I'm here trying to figure it out for the first time...

I know it's old now, but I just found a short series called "Agatha All Along" from the Marvel cinematic universe. A lot of fun.
