Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
5 books I would normally not buy and one I would normally not read.
Starting with Kings of the Wyld this evening. Time will tell if Wyld is a name or some sort of tragedeigh.
I have something like airline miles that turned out to be usable for books. I generally prefer e-books but some of the local publishers started making really nice and pleasant copies. I’ll post details when I get to the individual book reviews for the books that are worthy.

My daily walk today was past the Theatre. This used to be my favorite spot. I worked nearby and had mu lunch in the garden, watching hustlers play chess. It wasn’t as touristy back in the day.
I’ve never had the chance to be inside that building. Really wanted to do it as a kid, missed all opportunities, and now I only go to musical shows.
I was too quick on my weekly hiking trip to Cherni Vrah today and the beans soup wasn’t ready. There would be beans, kufte, and kebapche 15-20 minutes later. Missed that but I had lentils and chocolate, and it was fine. Life was good.
Appreciating the chance to see the peak one more time.
Viv is a powerful orc who wants to be a mercenary but somehow ends up in the bookstore business.
Legends & Lattes showed us Viv at the end of her career, tired of killing, and really motivated to run her own business. Bookshops & Bonedust shows us Viv at the beginning of her career, as motivated to run her own business as the other Viv. Why did she ever become a mercenary? That’s unclear. She can do it in book 0.1, there’s no point to pursue a career of head cutting somewhere between book 0.1 and book 1. Her motivation is unclear and her path is circular. We’ve now seen the beginning at the end, and they are the same point.
Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree is a bubblegum, the easiest type of books to read. I struggled to reach the end but I appreciate the sweetness of the story, so for the purpose of this blog, it gets the middle score – 4/5.
