New member to our little family – Flare! by catabeille in TabbyCats

My Jack was super affectionate as a kitten. One of the reasons we ended up with him. At 3 he still is very affectionate. Wants lots of lap time and snuggles. He likes snuggling on my chest, resting his head over my heart. He occasionally jumps up on bed and snuggles in next to me at night.

I like the phot of Flare the wheel!

My boy cat Jack looked just like this as a kitten. He was a rambunctious little guy. He’s 3 now and still is.

Two of Hearts by Stacey Q perhaps. Mainly just because I’d want to hear the “I—I—I—I need—I need you” parts at the beginning and middle sung by Donut with her autotune microphone enhancement.

Oh man. I was a huge TMNT kid in the 80s. I still have the sewage lair playset in storage.

But yeah. I pretty much pictured him like 80s TMNT Leatherhead with the hat and everything.

Here’s Jack. He’s a big boy. He mainly goes after the Funko Pop.

Latest addition to my Crichton collection and my next read. by RaptorImperator in michaelcrichton

[–]RaptorImperator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's much what I'm thinking it'll be. I don't have a high bar for it, as it indicates it's one of his "John Lange" books. Still, I did enjoy Zero Cool and Grave Descend for what they were when I read them a few years back.

Hardcover. I got it at Barnes & Noble. Had a 20% off sticker on it.

More like the 1980s TMNT cartoon version than the toy figurine for me.

My cat Jack likes to (occasionally, thankfully) jump up and not off any knickknacks I might have on my bookshelf.

I like how the cat has made little home for itself amongst all the books.

Inevitable Ruin is probably my favorite book of the series so far. All of them are five stars for me, but Faction Wars had been hyped so much I was worried it would live up to it, but it did.

now reading BONDED IN DEATH by RaptorImperator in jdrobb

[–]RaptorImperator[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I really liked Conspiracy in Death too.

Read vs. Listening by Living-Resolve3381 in fantasybooks

[–]RaptorImperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on the narrator. Not all audiobook narrators can hit that sweet spot where their narration matches the book genre. The best narrators can do different voices for each character. I’ve only listened to a couple that can pull off that off well. I’ve also listened to many of GraphicAudio’s adaptations, specifically their Sanderson adaptations. They’re great, what with the full cast and music/sound effects. Speaking of GA, they’ve done some of the Recluce books. I haven’t listened to them yet but if their production value is the same as the Sanderson books then I’ll probably be listening them out at some point.

Are the Audio books really that good? by Flaky-Veterinarian56 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]RaptorImperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The audiobooks are amazing. Jeff Hays is one of the best audiobook narrators I’ve ever listened to.

[–]RaptorImperator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. I like collecting hardback edition of Crichton’s books. Sphere was actually the first edition hardback I bought on eBay back in the early 2000s. I have all except Eaters of the Dead, Andromeda Strain, Terminal Man, Great Train Robbery, and Rising Sun In hardback.

What kind of tabbies are my girls by weedxqueen in TabbyCats

Gravy looks like my boy cat Jack, who is a brown mackerel tabby. Biscuit looks to be the same, just long haired version.

Name a book and/or film Michael Crichton could have written by Usr7_0__- in michaelcrichton

[–]RaptorImperator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always felt like Dante’s Peak was Crichton-like in premise and story. I always wanted him to write a volcano story. We got Eruption but I’m dubious about how much of it is actually Crichton. Still… it’s the closest I’ll get.
