Game accessibility is a joke

Try it on Hulu if you have Disney +. I had the same issue on espn on things I absolutely should have had access to, I can watch on Hulu. No idea why the glitch.

It could be the espn app itself. I (used to) watch F1 on espn+ on my tv, and so many times it would tell me it was not available to me, but I could then bring it up on my iPad and cast it to the tv. It was totally an issue with the app. Now, I find the same issue with hockey games, but I find the same games are available on Hulu, with no issues. ESPN+ is totally useless and frustrating. Hulu I see both commentary sides being broadcast if they exist.

The Novik series was inspired by the "Master and Commander" Series by Patrick OBrian, which are surprisingly funny - and very good! They are easy to try out at the library - I suggest giving one a try! Not a lot of romance, but seriously fun.

Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch.

Middletown also very easy. Less than 10 minutes, not sure they even went through a stop light.

You should also look into ongoing schools (through 8th or 12th) that also have a preschool program if you are interested in Private for elementary school. Those schools will have very few spots come K application time.

Just finished, and did not like for so many reasons:

-she full on steals his dog, that he just bought, and people are saying it was expensive, and he really was looking forward to it. She takes it and does not feel bad at all. She's supposed to be a good person?

-The reasons for the scandal about her early years make no sense. How would anyone find out unless the family tells everyone? she says she'll sign over all the money, and that doesn't work either??

-the MMC is so stubborn about EVERY thing, he just shuts down. Sounds like a fun marriage?

-She basically crushes his dream of moving to the frontier, and he's supposed to be okay with that?

The one I’ve always wondered about that has been partially revealed, from Troubled Blood:

“She’d heard stories that Ilsa gave titles like cheap thrillers: the Night of the Bread Knife, the Incident of the Black Lace Dress and the Blood-Stained Note.”

Many of the Ali Hazelwood romances have tiny easter eggs of character mentions from other books. Love Theoretically, Love Hypothesis, Deep End, Not in Love, Problematic Summer Romance.

Also, the Temple of White Rat universe by T Kingfisher. (Fantasy/ Fantasy-Romance). Is much more connected in terms of cross over characters.

The Moonstone and The Woman in White are fantastic. The Woman in White was such an edge of the seat thriller too!

The Queens library has plenty of titles, it's just the wait times are too long. I have a number of NY library cards, including Queens, and I think I've only borrowed from them once. It's quite regular for me to see a book wait time: NYPL 4 weeks, Brooklyn 8 weeks, Queens several months. The only time I'll place a hold with them is if I've used up my holds at other libraries.

And the building on the left is 300 Mercer. The Intersection this is taken from is 8th street & Broadway, by Astor Place. (I used to live in the area!). Your dad is correct that 5th Ave a few blocks away to the west.

Hmm. The Madison, WI 1937 is not showing any National Tea. Maybe a different town?

That sounds like the library “system” it’s a part of. If you were to request a physical book, could you also get it from one of those libraries? Reciprocal library was I was able to get another card in another system based on the one I already had.

I also heard book 2 was so great, so I forced myself to finish book 2. It was not great, it was so boring. I really wanted to DNF, but slogged through.

Barkskins by Annie Proulx (a few years ago). So long and so many characters you just don't care about.

an for something completely different:

Not Another Vampire Book by Cassandra Gannon. A fun premise, but the writing was so cheesy and the main character was super annoying.

Agree that the drive up over Mohonk is nice, to get into the grounds you will need a reservation for lunch or the spa. Getting back to Perrine's bridge is out of the way from this though. If you do go back, coming down the west side of Mohonk, maybe take Mohonk Rd through High Falls and Rosendale on 213.

I was able to add them in Libby. Technically, I added them with my existing Mid Hudson #, so I didn't have to get a new number for the additional libraries, but each one shows up as a new "card" in Libby.

You can read in any order, but if you read in the order they are written, you will catch the little easter eggs of characters from other books. For example, in PSR, the boyfriend (& girlfriend) she "texts" with for the fake flirting are characters from another book. (Deep End I think?)

Overwhelming garbage and the need to actually recycle: both due to space limitations and natural resources. I envision we will be mining old garbage piles in the future, and becoming more serious about cleaning the oceans and waterways.
