Yes, there were maybe a couple of books written by another author in the series, and now another author is taking up the reins. I read the first two, but I don't think I finished the third written by Larsson.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.
'Safe'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ooh, available at my library...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In a perfect world, I would be able to spend all day rewatching the season so far, watch the finale, and then read that. Stupid not perfect world

Ooh. I have not watched the show (I have not watched any tv lately, but am thinking of paying for it for a month and bingeing)

It’s so good.
Despite the tragedy of my not being able to spend all day wrapped in a cocoon of MurderBot, the evening of MurderBot finale followed by new story [link] was Pretty Darn Good
Now I want to reread all the books and rewatch the season. That would conflict with all the new books I keep hearing about and wanting to read, alas. Not sure how that’s gonna resolve…

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm using a combination of trade-in, Prime Day, and employee discount to replace my 5 year-old Paperwhite, and really hoping that nobody catches on to the fact that I both confirmed that the trade-in had no cosmetic defects (including marks or stickers on the case) AND added a razor scraper and a bottle of Goo Gone to my order...
(Look, by the time I send it back the claims I've made about cosmetic defects will be true, so what does it matter how many stickers may or may not be on it right now...)

Ha!
Hm, I wonder how old my paperwhite is now...I have managed to lose all the charging cables with the right connector (for values of "lose" = "they aren't right next to where I currently have my kindle sitting or where I thought I was keeping them") so I haven't charged it up in a bit, not sure if it actually works...

I have two paperwhites—one is very old and I had lost it at a friend’s house for several months and bought a new one (also because the new one was waterproof). The other day I couldn’t find the new one so was like crap and charged up the old one…finally figured out why I thought I’d read this one book but didn’t remember anything about it—I was like 25% in on the old one and never finished it!
