February 2021 Playlist

February was a fast month. I felt very productive though. Was able to get the sci-fi novella ready to publish in March. It was a lot of work, but it was worth all the researching and learning.

I finished watching Bridgerton a few days ago. Initially, I had avoided it because there was too much hype around this Netflix show. I then learned that it was a book series by Julia Quinn and that piqued my interest. I started to debate as to whether I should read the books first or watch the show. I currently have a long list of TBRs and husband and I were running out of things to watch so I figured I’d wait on the books and watch the show. I’m glad I made that choice. Bridgerton was so good! I fell in love with the scene where Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Hastings had their first dance. It was the music that captured my heart. I should admit, Eloise (Daphne’s younger sister), was an interesting character. She caught my attention as well. I can’t wait to see where they take her in the next season.

This was the scene that got me 100% invested. At 1:05 is when the dancing starts and that beautiful music. Anyway, if you haven’t seen the show, this is the scene when Daphne and Simon are pretending to be in love to prove to Nigel (the older man watching them) that her relationship with Simon is real. Daphne’s brother (in the clip, he’s the one that goes off with Lady Danbury) had tried to marry her off to Nigel but she didn’t want to marry him. While they were dancing, you can tell that they were starting to really like each other.

Here are the other songs I listened to this month:

“Love Again” by Avaion

“Better Off Lonely” by Nurko

“Angel” by Massive Attack

“Ten Thousand Times Before” by Twelve Titans

“Chamber” by Songs To Your Eyes

Book Review: Star Trek Voyager: Full Circle

Title: Star Trek Voyager: Full Circle
Author: Kirsten Beyer
Genre: Science Fiction, Space Opera
Year Published: March 31, 2009

Star Trek Voyager: Full Circle by Kirsten Beyer is a science fiction novel based on the television show Star Trek: Voyager. It continues the story after the last episode of the show.

In this book, the main plot surrounds B’Ellana Torres, Commander Paris, and their baby daughter, Miral. There is a subplot on Admiral Janeway and Captain Chakotay’s relationship that plays an important part in the story. There is also a sprinkling of story on the main crew just to remind us that this was the Voyager crew.

I enjoyed this read. It was fast paced and ended too quickly. I would have loved more story on Seven of Nine and Tuvok.

Spirit & Opportunity

I just finished watching “Expedition Mars: Spirit & Opportunity” on Disney+ and I gotta say, I was overwhelmed, sad, and happy. The rovers seemed so human that when they died, it felt like I lost a friend. Anyway, I’m happy to say, NASA has sent out another rover that should touchdown on Mars this Thursday (February 18th). This one is going to join the one currently on Mars named, Curiosity. It’s going to be exciting!

Made a scrapbook layout of Spirit and Opportunity. The images and text are from NASA’s website. The template is by digital scrapbooker, Shannan. I’ve made adjustments to the template.
