I finished book 99 which was Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain's "Murder, She Wrote: Murder in Moscow". This is one of Kat's MSW books. Kat has the whole series and I like to read them as quick reads and the proverbial palette cleanser.

I finished book 100 which was Debbie Viguie's "Twin Destines: Celtic Charms". This is a book featuring Camille and Kennerly, the Harp Twins. This book came as part of a kickstarter I sponsored where I got a signed CD, signed book and poster from the Harp Twins.

I finished book 101 which was Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain's "Murder, She Wrote: A Little Yuletide Murder". Jessica is actually home Maine and yup, there's a murder. I swear, that woman has a higher body count around her than the 1942-1943 Battle of Stalingrad!

Vice President Trump seems to hate that Vice President Trump is trending here on Twitter. Be sure to tell all of your friends that Vice President Trump hates that Vice President Trump is trending and they should be sure to tell their friends that Vice President Trump hates that.

This Christmas time, while you are safe, well fed, warm and dry, think of all the people suffering war and starvation and thank god it's them instead of you! (That is still my favorite line of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" which I am currently listening to.

A merry, happy, and festive whatever the hell you celebrate. Seriously, I don't care what you personally do or do not celebrate, but whatever it is, I hope it is happy, merry, and festive!

I finished book 102 which was "Halloween Party Murder" by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis and Barbara Ross. All 3 authors have their own murder mystery book series that take place in small towns in Maine. For the series of books that this book is from, each author contributed a novella.

I finished book 103 which was Ian Fleming's "You Only Live Twice". This is one of the original James Bond books. The movie does have some things in common with the book. Bond does go to Japan, and does work with Tiger Tanaka and that's about where the similarities end.

I finished book 104 which was Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain's "Murder, She Wrote: Murder at the Powderhorn Ranch". This is another book based in the world of murder mystery writer and amateur, and quite successful sleuth, Jessica Fletcher and the murders that occur around her.

I finished book 105 which was Ian Flemings "The Man with the Golden Gun". This is one of the original James Bond books and in fact is the last one in my collection to be read. Like the other James Bond books, it shares a title with one of the movies. Both are very good.

I was reading about the Los Angeles wildfires and some are placing the blame on homeless firebugs. Is that a real thing? Are the homeless starting wildfires? Specifically the homeless? Well shit. I did not have "hobos burning down Los Angeles" on my 2025 Bingo card.

Hey Stephen Fisher (Stephen Fisher), I ordered the paperback of "Sword Coast" on the 5th, it was released on the 10th with an expected 2 - 3 week delivery time after that. Look what arrived today, much sooner than 2 - 3 weeks, the book that is, the cat was already here. :)

In honor of Memorial day, I am on the patio reading Stephen Fisher's (Stephen Fisher) "Sword Beach" and James R. Benn's "From the Shadows". Both books come highly recommended. I'm also reading a Dungeon Crawling Carl book, but that dows not fit the theme so well.

Hey Stephen Fisher , I've been away from Twitter for a while, but I had to log on to let you know that I finally finished "Sword Beach". That was a great book and very informative on a topic that has not had a lot of attention paid to it.
