We finally watched Dune part 2. I have not read the books (even when I've been known the story since I was a teenager) and I liked it, even if I found it a little long. On the other hand, hubby, who did read the books, disliked it. He said they invented a bunch of things just because the USA public won't like what would be too similar to a muslim peopla and a Jihad. He may be right. But well, at least I liked it.
I haven't watched it yet. Just the first one. But I have seen the other two adaptions. And I've read the books.
They were interesting but a little too political and focused on power and economy for my taste of fantasy/science fiction.
To be honest I only read them because of the cool cover art, lol. It was a big worm with his maw wide open towering over small humans. I just wanted to read about the giant worms and everything else was just filler.
My mother is in a good mood. We visited her yesterday. The clinic is located in the mountains which is always beautiful. She has an awesome view from her room. The food is fantastic. And it is only 1,5 hours from home. She has a lot of treatments during weekdays. She gets a plan for every day. She has almost no pain, but her leg is still terribly swollen. Though they say this is normal at this stage. And she has already met a nice woman she is hanging out with. By coincidence, the woman is her neighbour's aunt.
Cat Mona always shows her love through biting and scratching me. She doesn't do it to my husband, only to me and Mini. Micro gets scratched by all three cats, lol. Because she somehow pets them the wrong way, I guess. Mini says that she thinks Mona likes me best, because she always comes running when she hears me coming home. And she follows me everywhere when we are both in the house.
Lisa always lies on my lap in the evenings, but she also lies on other laps, and Leonardo only cuddles with Mini.
I think Mona is a little crazy, but I love her. 🥰

The elections were ... no politics, let's just say, I expected something like that and we'll see how it turns out.
I have finished the no-romance book. It's a trilogy. The last one will be out in October. Yay.
The protagonist made a wish to an item which is fulfilling only one wish. She knew that and technically she would have had a lot of time to think about and plan for the exact wording of the wish in case she would ever have the chance to do it. Also she could have planned it together with her allies.
Then she made her wish and I almost facepalmed. And this was the end of the book.
She wished that "none of this would have happened" and that she wanted to be put back to "the beginning". And once I read that, my first thought was: damn, Harry would have phrased this better.
Does this happen to you, too? I mean reading a book and thinking of the Dresden Files. I immediately thought that she would not have made such a stupid wish that can be interpreted in so many ways, if she had had any experience with the Fae, lol .
I mean, come on: what beginning? The creation of the universe? None of this had ever happened? None of what. Stupid unspecific wish. But I guess I will see the fallout in the next book. Could be amusing in a sadistic kind of way.
I think I have told you already that the protagonist was acting stupid sometimes? This was one of those times apparently.
But still a good book. It was very exciting since the second half.
