Remember when boxes of cards -- recipes mostly, other topics also happened -- were a thing in the 1970s?
Tumblr media
For those unfamiliar: There were subscription services where they'd send you a box and index dividers then a packet of cards, and every month they'd send you new packets which you would pay for. "Stop at any time", the ads would say, but the cards were typically sent randomly, rather than by chapter, so you'd have to keep receiving cards for several months to get the #27 to fit between January's #26 and April's #28. (The big numbers shown above are the chapters, the card numbers of each were smaller on the back.)
Finding totally complete sets in people's homes or in thrifts/antique stores does happen, but you know many people were a few packets short. I believe I'm missing a set or two myself on my 'The Greenhouse' houseplant information box from 1978...

REVIEW
Rock Point Collection by Freya Barker
Four Book Collection
 This is an author that once read would become a go-to and must-read author for me. When I saw this collection of four books, three of which I had not yet read, available, I snapped it up. Freya Barker has a unique ability to create a world that is populated by complex characters I’d like to have as friends and provides stories that have me rooting for the main characters to come out with one another in their lives forever. No two books are the same and each one provides a story that I love from beginning to end. So…here’s my take on the four books that introduce and FBI team that will  provide over 1000 pages of enjoyment in one volume as each of them find their HEA with their perfect partner.  
KEEPING 6: The introduction to the Rock Point Series sees Damian and Kerry meeting briefly in a case that Damian is involved in. Awhile later they meet again as Damian tackles another case involving stolen first edition high-value books and perhaps this time the time is right for a HEA. 
CABIN 12: Next up is FBI Agent Jasper’s turn to find his HEA with Damian’s sister Bella. This time the FBI case deals with police corruption and medical professionals working together in criminal activities that include murder. It also deals with a character dealing with depression swept under the rug but dealt with through the story. 
HWY 555: This is the one I had read before. Loved Luna going undercover with the MC, falling for Ouray, and the way her issues from the past were dealt with by the gentle hand of a dominant alpha. Makes me smile thinking about this story now twice read. 
10-CODE: Marya and Jasper showed up in previous books in this series and both are worthy of one another. This time the criminal activity has to do with pedophilia and the story is a bit dark. Both characters have much in common and are perfect for one another.  I loved reading this boxed set and will no doubt read it again. I loved the characters and also the way the stories were told about them and the situations they were able to come out of on the other side of whole, healthy, and in the arms of their perfect mate.  
Thank you to the Author for the ARC – This is my honest review.  
5 Stars   
BLURB 
The Rock Point series chronicles the stories of each of the agents of the La Plata County FBI office. These books will take you on a wild ride of romance, danger, passion, and betrayal. Durango, Colorado has never been more adventurous and exciting.
Keeping 6 When Special Agent Damian Gomez walks into the small Books and Brew store looking for coffee, he doesn’t expect to find Kerry Emerson manning the espresso machine. She seems equally surprised but that quickly turns to anger when the annoyingly handsome FBI agent seems to have her confused for a criminal.
Cabin 12 EMT Bella Greene thinks Special Agent Jasper Greene is a narcissistic hotshot, and he, in turn, believes her to be a high maintenance snob. But the moment the first cop is gunned down, they’re forced to work side by side and amid corruption and murder, they quickly discover how misleading first impressions can be.
HWY 550 Investigating a string of robberies places Special Agent Luna Roosberg undercover and on the back of Arrow’s Edge MC President Ouray’s bike. He does not have much choice because with pressure both in- and outside the club mounting, he no longer knows who to trust. Except perhaps the pretty agent who is shaking up his life—and stirring his blood. ***
10-CODE Single mom, Marya Berger does not want to be attracted to Special Agent Dylan Barnes. Not only is he several years her junior, but he is also the father of one of the boys on her son’s soccer team. But when the disappearance of a child hits a little too close to home, she finds herself responding to the agent’s need to protect her and her boys.

Another Sibling Danny and Jason idea!!
"Are you Jason Peter Todd?!" demanded a deep and commanding tone from the strange glowing being in front of them.
All the Bats stiffened and tensed, no doubt gearing up for a fight against the being that somehow knew Red Hood's full name.
Jason, Red Hood, decided to put on a brave front despite no doubt cursing in his head and wondering how the heck did this thing know his full freaking name.
"Whose asking." he snarled out, his hands twitching for his gun when the huge glowing knight with purple flames coming out of his helmet and cape, who was riding on a nightmare looking horse while they all had been in the cave going over tonight's patrol.
The Knight didn't seemed bothered by his response nor did he even seem to care or flinch when Batman made his own demand on 'Why was he there and who was he' or when Damian unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards him. Instead the strange glowing Knight reached to it side and pulled out... A glowing scroll? Huh. (Also he completely unnerved everyone in the room when the Knight didn't even react when Batman had tossed a Baterang when he reached for his side)
The Knight opened the scroll and spoke clearly with purpose.
"Jason Peter Todd,
You are hereby invited as a special guest of honor to the crowning of our future King of the Infinite Realms.
Daniel Phantom, once Daniel Jackson Fenton, and once Daniel Austen Todd.
Prince of the Infinite Realms, the Keeper of Balance, The Peacekeeping Halfa, the Defeater of the Tyrant King Pariah Dark, The Great One, Youngest of the Ancients, Ancient of Space, The Bridge between Life and Death.
You, the half-brother of our King, have been given the highest of honors for your past actions and will be given housing and food in the Realms and Phantom's Keep, for the week long event. Personal servants and attendants will be at your disposable and a seamstress will be on hand to tailor make your attire for the Coronation.
Signed: Clockwork. Ancient of Time. Watcher of the Infinite Timeline. Kronos. Mentor and Adviser.
PS: I shall have Fright Knight ("Me" the Knight bluntly said for a second) leave this scroll along with a personal one for you from Daniel to read over and once you make up your mind sign the bottom of the scroll.
I do hope in time you will pick the right choice Jason Todd, we of the Infinite Realms would like to reward you for your actions. After all, if you hadn't gotten young Daniel away from your father that night all those years ago, we would never had gained our Prince nor be free from our once Tyrant King.
Ah, one more thing.
The Infinite Realms will always favor you Jason."
Jason felt like he couldn't breath as Fright Knight? Rolled up the scroll, pulled a letter from his side, and held out the two items for him to take.

If the Kwami remember the old timeline, then Wayzz, Tikki and Plagg must remember Adrien and Marinette, right? Wouldn't they lead Fu to them? Or is something preventing Fu from doing that/Fu thinks it's too risky to make a move with Hawkmoth/Gabriel watching??
well... hm, there's kind of a problem. The timeline was mostly reset, but there are lingering echoes that things aren't right. For one, the Kwami remember the last timeline - so do the Sentikids, and in fact, so do robots/AI's of any fashion. Not only that, but some mechanisms, nonorganics, exist as though the last timeline was still in place, like passwords and lingering, half-corrupted photographs in dead links and dead blogs.
...so,
Tumblr media
uh. ehe. oops.

the space seed episode of tos where they find khan and the ss botany bay is so funny because right off the bat you have kirk being like "yeah let's get that historian whats-her-name out there, maybe she can be useful for once" and it's like WOAH what's up with the liberal arts hate?? why is kirk being such a bitch to this lady for no reason. then you meet her and she's fucking obsessed with historical strongmen to the point of covering her walls in her own fanart. she lives on a spaceship in a utopian technofuture and she sleeps surrounded by busts of kings on purpose. her vibes are fashy and kirk is right to be a bitch, actually.
then they get to the botany bay and she's immediately driven to distraction by how horny she is for ricardo montalban under a thick layer of extra-dark foundation. sorry i'm gonna compare montalban with and without the makeup because it is SO distracting
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also she refers to sikhs in the past tense implying that at some point in the last two hundred years there was a genocide that they're just glossing over. since she also calls them a warrior race it's also possible that she's just racist and somewhere on board the enterprise there are sikh crew members who dislike her as much as kirk does.
anyway you can assume that this is her first actual away mission and she fumbled immediately because she was so hot for khan but it's much funnier if this isn't the first time this has happened. every time they have to interact with a historical earth artifact she gets so horned up thinking about being a tradwife that she's rendered speechless. spock stays polite but kirk can't stand her. by the time kirk found out she was the type of person to paint her own portraits of napoleon and roman emperors to hang in her quarters it was too late to send her back and request literally anyone else. he's supposed to court martial her but offers to let her stay on fashy eugenics planet just so he won't have to keep her on his ship anymore. it's unclear if he lets her take her paintings or jettisons them into space.
