But her project funding is on the bring of vanishing due to missing results. She firmly believes that she is on to something, but time is running out.

We all love things that other people think are garbage. You have to have the courage to keep loving your garbage
I should take this to heart. I like quite a lot of books which are not of the highest quality. And I have a constant bad feeling after reading them, but why. If I like it, then I can enjoy it!
And don’t get me started on movies, where I usually go with the motto the worse it is, the more I want to watch it :-D

We are married for eleven years now! And still in love.
I am working on my living room lamp. I finally removed all the bark from the log. It was an excellent decision to buy a draw knife.
Review of Extinction Game, The Apocalypse Duology book 1
I just finished reading Extinction Game: The Apocalypse Duology: Book One by Gary Gibson.📚 A good idea and perfect execution! Jerry is the last human on Earth. He managed to survive a global pandemic created by a sect. Until one day, he finds footprints in his backyard. The book starts slow but takes up its pace towards the middle. I liked the POV of Jerry quite a lot – he is an interesting character, perhaps a bit naive but certainly not stupid.Review of Winter's Heart, The Wheel of Time, Book 9
Review of Winter’s Heart, The Wheel of Time, Book 9 audiobook 📚. The saga continues. Perin needs too cope with missing his wife and makes plans to get her back. Elayne arrives in Caemlyn, starting the succession arc. Mat still tries to flee Ebou Dar and meet his future wife. And Rand plans something big, but first, he needs to hunt down some renegade Asha’man. I like this book, as it brings the story forward, and the ending with cleaning the taint on the male source is epic, also, like the scene in chapter twelve where the Elayne, Aviendha, and Min bond Rand.
It still feels strange to have a piano in our home. No matter that it is now here for two weeks already.

Review of The Path Of Daggers, The Wheel of Time, Book 8 audiobook 📚. The hot weather has broken, and winter finally starts. Rand is now king of another county but has increasing problems with the tain on the source. I enjoyed the further development of the White Tower hunt for the black Ahja. The Aes Sedai finally do something instead of constantly talking. It does not quite work as expected, but it is a step in the right direction.
Humans – happy and sad.

She now feels a lot angrier and also more undecided about what she wants to do.
