Even with all of the new shiny shit to watch I've been grinding out the Highlander TV series. I think it would be an IP ripe for a good modernized version. I know Stahelski is working on the film. I just think more time should be alotted with a lot of ideas instead of a retread of what was done.

Sooooo THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, nineteen years young, has crept back onto the USA Today best-seller list. #42, not exactly displacing Andy Weir or Suzanne Collins, but icing on the cake is icing on the cake.

A clipping from the USA Today best-selling book list website, showing THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA at a stately number 42. Readers are the best.

I'm slowing up on my reading goal for the year because I decided to go back through the Stormlight Archive. I've decided to do quick hits with the Murderbot series to prepare for the AppleTV+ show.

I researched some names that came up in the show Severance to see if I could try and figure out what was really going on. All I came up with were a couple of odd residential terms, census terms, and the site of the K-T meteor impact. My best guess = A post ELE human society not on Earth.

I don’t think she’s been forgotten, but all the fiction of Lois McMaster Bujold, especially the Vorkosigan saga—all of it should be way, way more famous, in my opinion. She’s one of my favorite novelists, full stop. I would die of delight if smart creative folks made a good Vorkosigan TV series.

There are many writers of quality SFF - especially women - who never became celebrities and whose work imo far outstrips Gaiman's. And, yes, many - especially women - have been forgotten.
