Wrapped up taxes today. It went pretty well. We will get a return of $210 and some change. Woohoo! I like it when we get this close but don't owe anything. We did a few years with the mindset of paying at the end of the year but the IRS is such a pain to contact and deal with so we adjusted things a bit.

ETA: I've purchased signed books after an author visit before, I bet they'll do that again, maybe even get it personalized.

Thank you. I will be on the Virtual event tonight and will get a book from that event. I believe I posted a link to it on the forum a while back. I also have the Audio book pre-ordered. I will finish the listen of Gwendy's Final task tonight and start a new Scalzi story tomorrow! Tomorrow will be a good day for me Both Scalzi and O'Nan have releases. Scalzi is first for me but I have both the audio and a signed first on order for Ocean State and it will be after Scalzi!
Thanks for the heads-up on the O’Nan…I didn’t realize it was out tomorrow, too. I’ll have to check his signing schedule as well.

Keep seeing this book pop-up on lists that I am looking at and have been close to pulling the trigger; however, I have never read anything by this author so I have been holding off. Any opinions appreciated!

I believe it was when I upgraded to Windows 10, the printer just stopped working because the drivers were no longer recognized. And then we have a really nice Brother laser printer that after we lost power in December/January because of the massive fires here, it no longer shows on my network (it's wireless and AirPlay). Of course, it's a beast to reset from the printer panel, so I have to haul into the office/den and see if I can make it happy again.

My current wireless printer stopped working when we switched our ISP from our local cable company to T-Mobile 5G wireless router. I spent hours on this thing and landed on my printer is not compatible with the router. T-Mobile and HP were of no help at all.

If you end up reading him let me know what you think. Personally I think I liked -14- a little more than Paradox Bound. If you are into zombies and superheroes he has you covered as well.
