Smell the Friday



 TGIF


Well, once again my mood-read gene has kicked in and made a wreck of my intentions. I've jettisoned all books I was kinda sorta listening to. And I finished the C.S. Harris. Now it looks like I'm in the mood for some Honor Harrington sci fi. I had started this before but it is a deeply political saga so I've started over. And I'm reading it while listening to the audio because a) the performer is excellent and b) there are a lot names and places to keep track of and pronounce so this helps. 

 Currently reading MISSION OF HONOR by David Weber. 12th of 14 in series featuring Honor Harrington, scifi.

 


 The Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven have been enemies for Honor Harrington's entire life, and she has paid a price for the victories she's achieved in that conflict. And now the unstoppable juggernaut of the mighty Solarian League is on a collision course with Manticore. The millions who have already died may have been only a foretaste of the billions of casualties just over the horizon, and Honor sees it coming. She's prepared to do anything, risk anything, to stop it, and she has a plan that may finally bring an end to the Havenite Wars and give even the Solarian League pause. But there are things not even Honor knows about. There are forces in play, hidden enemies in motion, all converging on the Star Kingdom of Manticore to crush the very life out of it, and Honor's worst nightmares fall short of the oncoming reality. But Manticore's enemies may not have thought of everything after all. Because if everything Honor Harrington loves is going down to destruction, it won't be going alone.

Published 2010; 571 pages or 24 hours 13 minutes in audio. Side note, I realized I only had the first one of this series in physical book form (somewhere) and this is a series that I'd like to have available should the zombie apocalypse happen. I've ordered the series in paperback for my collection. 



 I read 114 pages yesterday. 965 total. 35 to go to hit 1000 pages read for the week. I will hit it today no problem.

 


 I've got the coffee shop tomorrow. I'll take Keo again with me since he did so well last time. No other plans except the usual.


 Have a good weekend

 


Much love,
