A Far Out Fantastic Site

Credit: Pixabay Already we're coming to the end of February! Although that shouldn't be too surprising since it’s the shortest month of the year, even with a Leap Day this year. This will make us have to wait less for the book-to-screen science fiction adaptations coming out next month. There are two of them that I know of off-hand: "Dune: Part 2" and "3 Body Problem".  Dune: Part 2: this movie continues from where Part 1 (titled just “Dune”) left off in 2021.

Thanks, again, Diane, for letting me interview you!  Most of the rest of today's post will be answering the IWSG Question of the Month which is What turns you off when visitin...

The stories reveal that with love, the darkness can be overcome. SAR: Now, can you tell us a little a...
