Please tell me your favorite space opera novel (or series, if it's too hard to choose, I'm not a MONSTER) ever. 🥹

I read, sell, and review books. I am a big nerd and love Sci-fi, Fantasy and Horror. Bookseller at main-street-books.com
I'm lost as to what I should be doing right now. The Dopamine says I should dive down a rabbit hole of new RPGs and games that I learned about at GenCon, but I also have books I need to read preview and the one I need to read for my book club. Can't say it's a bad problem to have though.
Stomach is mad at today. guess that means it’s time for Blankets and Buffy. #BTVS
I am now home from #GenCon2026. I had a good time. I really miss playing games and hanging out with other nerds. I spent some money and gave out some long overdue hugs. Also so many awesome authors and artists that I couldn’t possibly keep up with it all. Thanks to all the staff for a great day.
I’m almost ready for GenCon tomorrow. I haven’t done a full Con in a while. I enjoy Sunday but it’s a pretty short visit. Maybe next year I’ll be in a place to go for the full four days.
Almost ready to enjoy my Gencon. I’ll only be able to make it Sunday this time around, but I hope it will be an eventful day. Have fun and be safe if you’re traveling.
My bookclub suggested an old Sci-fi book and I can’t find one in any of the libraries I have access to, which is a few, lucky thing I hoard old Sci-fi books from library sales. This is the first version of Cities in Flight as a single volume from 1970.
So my question to blog friends and readers is where on these many webs are we making these blogs with simple RSS integration? I want to write but i am stuck with ADHD paralysis on picking a platform.

Welcome to Premee Mohamed's Wickhills. If you were a secret agent, how do you think you'd compromise the mission? - I'd panic under pressure - I'd tell "just one person" - Enemy's hot? I'm spilling. - You'd never catch me hehe
Went out to a Pub. Did the socializing thing with some local bookish folks. Now I’m back home reading again. I’m fairly proud of myself. Might have to do that again in the near future. And I’m definitely not replaying the conversation in my head to see how I must have made a fool of myself. 👌🤷

“Reading every day is walking down the same path in your brain, telling yourself, this is important. This matters. You wear that path into a groove. It becomes a thing you do, like brushing your teeth, or feeding your cats.” @mollytempleton.com on reading-as-life. reactormag.com/the-way-to-r...

my SFF pals: which SFF-relevant or adjacent newsletters do you read and love? (and a second, much vaguer question: what do you wish was out there that isn't?)

Happy National Poetry Month! Not A Lot of Reasons To Sing, But Enough is so good. A sci-fi colony story told in verse sold it for me. I picked this up and read it in just a couple days. Nothing has ever inspired me to write my own poetry before, but this one may have me convinced to try.

Just sitting here admiring the before and after of Nat Cassidy’s Rest Stop. Big thank you to @shortwavebooks.bsky.social for hooking me up with this amazing collection of horror diversions a little ahead of schedule. I Know A Place is so good.

So it’s been a few days of being 39 and so far I’m still staying up too late playing games or reading. I should probably try going to bed at a normal hour soon.
