Welcome to Litsy!

Nichelle is one classy & resilient woman who always stood her ground when racist execs tried to squelch her career or oust her most famous character. Loved the heartfelt stories of her strongest allies:Gene R & MLK plus revelations about ST:TOS cast & origin, her amazing singing career & her impact on diversifying NASA. It breaks my heart that Nichelle is now in the midst of mistreatment & a conservatorship battle.😢

My Husband made a self portrait with Lego Dots.

My first Star Trek novel! At first I was thrown off by the omniscient third person point of view, a style I haven‘t read in a long time, but it worked for the ensemble cast. Occasionally the characterization was spot on, but sometimes it had me scratching my head, particularly how Data was constantly represented as having emotions. All in all, an amusing read with several fun twists.

My son gave me two of these Bodum tea cups for Christmas, as used by Cpt Picard when he orders his "Tea; Earl Grey; hot". However, I don't think even Federation replicator technology could beat the flavour of the tea blend he gave me with the cups. It's smooth, with a subtle bergamot flavour, and a vanilla finish. I think I'm ready for that Encounter at Farpoint now! ?(Star Trek book pictured to justify this non-book related post)

My final book completed in 2021, and my 246th book of the year.

An entertaining read for Star Trek fans that sets up things well for the second book on the trilogy, still not sure what is going on.

36th book finished for #WinterGames2021 and 5th book finished for #NewYearSpecial #20in4 #Readathon

Was that me who geeked out at the B&N 50% Off All Hardcovers Sale today?
Yes it was! 🤓🖖🏻

I‘ll have to reattach the cover once I finish reading the book. Delighted that one of the crew members is a Horta this voyage. There‘s also four dimensional chess and a swimming pool in the rec room. I wonder if the liquid turns colloidal at certain velocities?

I grabbed this (signed!) from Mysterious Galaxy last week and read it today. It was quick and easy. But the plot was all over the place and zany to the point of cringiness. But my main beef was Spiner's depiction of himself thinking more with his dick than his brain. I get he's making fun of himself and maybe the noir genre, but it felt really juvenile. ⬇️

1️⃣ From the 1950s and 1960s, especially from The Three Suns. Google them, it's musak before Musak the band was founded. But it's actually very good. Gling gling gonslg bing!
2️⃣ Cookies!!!

1️⃣ That my elderly father, sister or cousins not catch covid despite not respecting the 10 or fewer, no more that two household limit for holiday gatherings. Because I know they won't respect the limits. My sister told me as much last night.
2️⃣ There's 15 cm of snow on the ground and it's -12⁰C outside so I'm hopeful.
