We were cleaning out our shed last weekend and my son found this in one of the boxes of my old stuff. Unopened, and apparently worth a lot.
Anyone know the best way to sell something like this?
Book 23 of 100, I hope.
What a trip. I’ll still be thinking about this one a week and a month from now, probably.
Sometimes it feels like it’s csv’s and screenshots all the way down.
Book 22 of 100.
This one was good, and I can see why so many people liked it. I didn’t get attached to any of the characters in the way I would have expected to.

Out: 1943 (November 2025)
One of the best adaptations I have ever seen. Really great movie.
@snell.zone Really enjoyed your appearance. You had a tough draw.
Book 21 of 100
I think the last time I read this one was when I was younger than either of my sons currently are. It’s truly a gem of a fantasy book, from an era when fantasy wasn’t nearly as popular or mainstream.
Book 20 of 100.
Sometimes, the timing of when you read a book makes it resonate more with you. I feel that way about this book, which I really enjoyed. It feels like the change of seasons has started here in Atlanta, but there’s some grey winter ahead still. This one is worth reading.
Book 19 of 100
I was fortunate enough to have him represent me in Congress. He was a great man, but imperfect and human like us all. This book did a great job of representing his life. I learned so much about him, and also Atlanta.
Out: Raven’s Wing (October 2010)

Book 18 of 100
While I enjoyed the first two books in this series more than this one, it was still fun and entertaining. I do hope that there are more books in this series, slow fantasy is a soothing genre.
Not sure it gets better than this combo of a Field Notes Raven’s Wing and the Spoke Design Roady XL Blaze Orange/Titanium. (With Zento .38 refill in it.)
New personal laptop day!
Book 17 of 100
I was surprised to realize that I hadn’t read this when the series started up. A solid effort but not quite a five star for me.
Book 16 of 100
Pulled at my heart strings, a very real and very human book about a relationship in and out of an extreme situation.
Book 15 of 100
K.J. Parker’s brand of dark and smart humor was reliably great in the start of this new series. Can’t wait for book two.
Redid my blog design today. It mostly looks like it did back in 2003 now. A couple of finishing touches remain to be done.

It truly has been amazing for my mental health to have this week in between the ending of my old job and the beginning of my new one. A lot of mental hygiene going on.
Book 14 of 100
An excellent overview, especially for beginners, probably a little simplistic for my knowledge level but still interesting.
Book 13 of 100
A fantastic story that is a reminder that we all have at least a little bit of magic in us.
Book 12 of 100.
This one is really good, fairly short. A more somber and emotional take on the plot of the Groundhog Day movie.
Book 11 of 100.
A truly epic, both in length and story, tale of a Polynesian navigator that happens over a thousand years ago.
Book 10/100
This one had some really good stuff in it that I found useful. A main concept that I will utilize is “freewriting” which I am adding to my journaling routine.
Book 9/100
These get more and more bonkers as we go. They are just what I need right now, and I’m a little sad I only have one left at the moment.
Book 8/100
A tiny bit dated but really enjoyable nonetheless.
Book 7/100
The timing of reading this one was not a coincidence. This book spoke to me and I took a lot away from it. We could all use a few moments of contemplation about the importance of character, especially our own.
