A totally amazing find at a yard sale yesterday - there has to be over 100 #StarTrek #books all of them for $10.00 U.S.
Each stack has at least 10 books, some stacks have more. There are 11 stacks - so at least 110.
I'd guess it's closer to 130ish. 10 Bucks!!!!
I will not need to buy any new books for a long long time.
I saw #StarTrekTOS #StarTrekTNG #StarTrekDS9 I didn't see any #StarTrekVoyager but that doesn't really mean anything.
Mostly I see a lot of #TNG books
The USS Enterprise has been granted the simple but unavoidable honor of ferrying key guests …
Don't let the cover design trick you into thinking this is a Worf novel that includes a lot of Romulans. He's got things to do and I love seeing him do these things. But it should have been Troi and Crusher on that cover.
Listened to it a second time over the weekend. A great book with clear A and B stories, that are not interwoven. It's set right before "All Good Things...". I love that the two main women in the TNG crew get to be center stage here.
The story around Crusher, Riker, and Data is very cool. They face some unusual events on a new planet and it's fascinating to follow them figuring out what they are. Crusher has a very crucial role in that and that's so good to see. Love her scene with Data at the end.
The story around Troi, Worf, and Picard starts …

The story around Troi, Worf, and Picard starts as a nice and funny stay on Betazed, Lwaxana included, that turns into a detective story and chase through space to catch a thief. Here it is Troi who can shine and she's great doing it. Her empathic abilities are used in a great way that we rarely (if ever?) see on screen. I love the solution between her and the thief. I also love all the hints towards later events as seen on screen. Lwaxana is always great to see, she's an amazing character full of heart. The author said in an interview she would love to write a Lwaxana novel and I am here for it. There are a couple of cute scenes between Worf and Troi and I think they are a well executed continuation of what we see on screen.
Robert Petkoff, as always, is great. Especially his Worf and Picard are excellent.
Two interviews with the author can be listened to at Literary Treks and Positively Trek.

1. Am onto season 7 of #startrektng now, the first episode. Crusher makes a fine Captain. Wish we had a series of her being one.
2. Yummy cheesy french toast with a mushroom, tomato, basil and irish cheddar filling. Savoury french toast with filling remains my default! Also managed to make enough for four breakfasts! (tfw you live alone but cook as though for a family of four 😅)
3. Listening to Andy Shauf's Norm all morning while puttering around the apartment straightening it up feels like a really good reset on my day off.
New month and changed the main display shelf around again!
Pulled the #StarTrekTNG Bridge Playset down from the attic and dusted that off to get it up on display and moved the Diamond Select Enterprise D over here.
Found a display spot for the #MOTU Talon Fighter on top of the Falcon.
Negotiating with the Romulans is like playing 3D chess. You have to think ten moves ahead and keep your emotions in check. #LwaxanaTroi #DiplomaticChallenges #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9
"Ode to Spot" was an ode composed by Data in 2369, addressed to his pet cat, Spot. (TNG: "Schisms")
Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Slightly late #Caturday
One of my friends is a Monsignor in the Catholic Church. He recently sent me this. (And yes, the meme should say "St. Augustine" who was indeed African.)
(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

Oh, thank goodness we still have Guinan for counseling assistance.
Finished the novelization of Relics (1992) by Michael Jan Friedman and I really enjoyed it! My thoughts on the book are below.
I love the episode and was really looking forward to the novelization. These books usually add some great scenes to episodes and movies and this is no exception. 1/5 #StarTrekTNG #StarTrek #trekbooks
