The Eternal Tide by Kirsten Beyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars Man, this relaunch series does have a lot of death!  Each book seems to have someone central dying! This was still enjoyable, and it was interesting to see the Omega molecule and the Q continuum explored some more.  Also, Janeway's back!From the dust cover:As the Voyager fleet continues its exploration

 Well, that's an end of an era!  Old Blackberry devices no longer function as of yesterday!  I remember the Blackberry craze well.  At the time (circa 2004-2005) the Blackberry craze was pretty strong on my campus with everyone of any "importance" on campus having one (subsidized by the campus of course). Lots of IT folks had one, and so did many managers.  Blackberry messenger

Well, I far exceeded my anticipated books to-read in 2021, but many of them were comic books :-) I did read a few things for class, and a few other fiction and non-fiction alike for pleasure, but many comics were read.  I had wanted to finish the relaunch Star Trek Voyager series but that didn't happen.  Definitely in 2022!

Continuing on with the cards-based year-in-review theme, here's just some odd stats from Reddit.  I guess the lesson here is that I scroll a lot... (or maybe I subscribe to too many subreddits)...I am also surprised at the Karma I got in my town's subreddit. I also liked the trading-card theme (which I didn't post) that came up as part of this.

This one is from the app TV Time that I use to mark my TV viewing.  I suspect that the numbers are off since I marked some TV series as watched just to get them off my pending list (things like Diners, Driven-ins and Dives that seem to be going to revisit old spots

 'Tis the time of year when various social media platforms do a  year-in-review, or have different plug-ins that give you some stats anyway.  I'll start with Twitter's festive Christmas tree version of who I've (apparently) interacted with over the month of December.  I don't recognize some of these profile pics🤔

Καλές γιορτές, χρόνια πολλά, και καλά χριστούγεννα σε όλους!  Ήρθε ο καιρός για λίγες διακοπές, και εύχομαι και μερικά χιόνια 😁.Happy Holidays to all!  Time for a little break!  I hope you all have a great few weeks, filled with rest - and hopefully some snow! 😁

 Another adaptation I can't wait for :-) I wonder if they'll dive into the books as a source for information or if they'll do their own thing. I am a bit behind on all of the Halo books...I haven't read one since 2014...Maybe in 2022 I'll rectify that ;-)

Some more TV watching... or rather thoughts on TV shows that I caught up on over the past year 📺Brooklyn 99Brooklyn 99 wrapped up this year. It was one of our favorite comedies, but given everything that's been happening in the US the producer's decision to wrap it up made sense.  This final season addresses stuff that happened in the real world, which sees Rosa quit and become a PI, Hitchcock
