And the countdown begins ....


Monday. 

I finished a book!

I finished THE SHORT DROP by Matthew Fitzsimmons. Political thriller, first in a series of five, I think. 4 stars. 

Currently reading a library book, DARK SPACE by Rob Hart & Alex Segura. Scifi thriller. 

If life were fair, ace pilot Jose Carriles should have ended up a desk jockey like his former friend Corin Timony, back on the lunar colony of New Destiny. Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system. Timony should have been the best spy at the Bazaar, the lunar colony’s international intelligence arm. Instead, she’s been demoted to admin duties like monitoring long-range communications. She has no one to blame but herself—and maybe Carriles. But when the Mosaic experiences a series of strange malfunctions and Carriles is forced to take a wild gamble to save the ship, he begins to suspect the reasons behind the exploratory mission weren’t exactly on the up and up. At the same time, Timony’s old instincts kick in as she realizes the distress call she received from the Mosaic has been wiped without a trace. As people start to end up dead and loyalties are tested, Timony and Carriles find themselves entangled in a star-spanning conspiracy that drags them through the darkest corners of their government—and their own personal failures—and face-to-face with a reckoning that could destroy humanity as we know it.

Published 2024; 318 pages. 

We got our prompts for the December Scavenger Hunt on the discord group. Very seasonal as was expected.

December 8th 

***Holiday word in the title***

AND

December 15th

***Tree/Holiday decorations on the cover.***

(It can be just a regular tree or Christmas tree)

Here's what I've come up with for options that sound interesting to me so far.


I was playing with yarn this weekend and have decided to make a beanie/winter cap for myself. I tried out different YouTube patterns and looked at the yarn I had on hand and later afternoon yesterday hit upon the right combination. I've never done one before and you know how I love to learn new things.

No sprints tonight. 

Have a good day

Much love,

PK the Bookeemonster
