After reading through 1,001 Accounting Practice Problems For Dummies, the main thing that sticks is how much accounting depends on slow, correct classification.
Some accounting books explain ideas. This one makes you practice them until the ideas stop floating around and start acting like tools.

Star Trek: Voyager - Invasion #4: The Final Fury
By Dafydd ab Hugh
ISBN: 0671541811
Published 1996
Mosaic
By Jeri Taylor
ISBN: 0-671-56312-2
Previous: Janeway Faces the Iceberg Memory and Voyager’s Crew Escapes the Tokath
I finished Mosaic. Twenty-three chapters, a frame story in the Delta Quadrant, and decades of Kathryn Janeway’s life woven between them. This isn’t a plot-heavy Voyager adventure in the usual sense. It’s a character biography disguised as a Starfleet novel, written by the woman who helped create the show.
Book: Star Trek: Voyager #2 - The Escape
Authors: Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch
ISBN: 0671520962
That is all ten chapters. I started this series because I wanted a honest read of a hands-on ADF book, not a vendor brochure. Now that it is done, here is what I think.
That is the full book. Thirteen chapters, dozens of case studies, more tables than most consulting decks, and one consistent message: banks need to industrialise before they can innovate at scale.
Book: Star Trek Voyager #8: Cybersong
Author: S. N. Lewitt
Previous: Ambassador Mandel Stays Behind
I finished Cybersong. Twenty-one chapters, one intro, and a lot more going on than I expected from a numbered Voyager tie-in.
Star Trek: Voyager: Ragnarok
By Nathan Archer
ISBN: 067152044X
Published 1995
Thirty chapters later, and Ragnarok ends where it began: a relatively calm moment aboard Voyager, with repairs underway and the crew looking ahead. But the ship and everyone on it are not the same. Here is what stuck with me after the full read.
Book: Star Trek: Voyager #7 - Ghost of a Chance
Authors: Mark A. Garland and Charles G. McGraw
ISBN: 0671567985

Title: The Garden
Author: Melissa Scott
ISBN: 0671567993
Series: Star Trek: Voyager #11
That wraps my chapter-by-chapter walkthrough of The Garden. Here’s what stuck with me after the last page.
Star Trek: Voyager #6 - The Murdered Sun
By Christie Golden
Copyright 1996
Previous: Peace and Holodeck Revelation
Eighteen chapters. One murdered sun. Two lizard-adjacent peoples who turn out to be cousins. And Voyager still does not get home. Here is where The Murdered Sun lands after the full read.
Previous: Book Closing Remarks
I finished Be Lazy but Get & Stay Rich. Sixteen expert chapters, one intro, one closing letter. Here’s what stuck after reading the whole thing.
So we made it to the end. Over this series we walked through the whole arc of Nektarios Michail’s book, from the first IOUs scratched into clay to digital currencies and crypto. That is a lot of ground for one short book.
After finishing this retelling series, my main takeaway is simple.
Dolan’s Cadillac is not about revenge paying off. It is about revenge taking over.
This book is uneven, intense, and memorable. The realism around abuse and recovery is often excellent. The mythic fantasy sections are a gamble, but they mostly work because they map to Rose’s internal life.
Book: Hearts in Atlantis
Author: Stephen King
ISBN: 0-671-02424-8 / 978-0-6848-4490-9
This series is a chapter by chapter retelling of Hearts in Atlantis, written in plain language with my honest reactions. I focus on what happens, what it means, and what still feels painfully real.
Twenty-three posts. Four novels. A timeline that starts with Cold War paranoia in Washington and ends with the literal birth of new universes. We’re done.
Forty-two chapters. Almost a year of posts. Stories spanning from 1637 to 2018, from Amsterdam flower auctions to cryptocurrency exchanges. And here I am, writing the last post in this series.

Twenty-five posts. Six months. Over 500 pages of Tim Ferriss experimenting on his own body, distilled into something you could actually read on the train.

So we made it through all 11 chapters of “Singapore-China Relations: 50 Years.” That’s a lot of diplomatic history, economic data, and joint projects. Here’s what stuck with me after reading the whole thing.
Sixteen posts later, we’ve made it through the entire book. So let’s talk about what it all adds up to.
We made it. Fourteen posts covering one book about a half-elf and a human woman trying not to die on a desert planet ruled by tyrants. So what did we actually just read? Let me break it down.
Book: Cinnabar Shadows by Lynn Abbey | Series: Dark Sun - Chronicles of Athas, Book 4 | ISBN: 0-7869-0181-0
So we’re done. Fifteen chapters and an epilogue of Cinnabar Shadows. Time to step back and talk about the whole thing.
We are done. Seventeen chapters, a whole lot of posts, and one ugly templar’s journey from corrupt bureaucrat to druid guardian. Time to actually talk about the book.
We made it. Sixteen posts. One book. A lot of bees.
This is the final installment in our series covering Backyard Farming: Keeping Honey Bees by Kim Pezza (ISBN: 978-1-57826-453-7, Hatherleigh Press, 2013). If you have been following along from the series intro, thank you for sticking with it.
Book: Thieves’ World: Turning Points Editor: Lynn Abbey Series: Thieves’ World New Series, Book 1 Publisher: Tor Books, 2002
This is part of our series retelling Backyard Farming: Growing Vegetables and Herbs by Kim Pezza (ISBN: 978-1-57826-460-5).
We’ve gone through the whole book. From the history of vegetable gardens to planning your layout, building your soil, planting seeds, fighting weeds and pests, preserving your harvest, and putting the garden to bed for winter. That’s the full cycle. So what’s the verdict?
Book: Commodities: Markets, Performance, and Strategies
Editors: H. Kent Baker, Greg Filbeck, Jeffrey H. Harris
Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2018
ISBN: 9780190656010
Book: Bank 3.0: Why Banking Is No Longer Somewhere You Go But Something You Do Author: Brett King ISBN: 978-1-118-58963-2 Publisher: Wiley (2013)
Thirteen posts later, here we are.
We started this series with a simple question. Why is it so hard for small businesses to get a loan? Charles H. Green spent 30 years in banking, founded his own bank, and then wrote a book that basically answers that question by saying: the system was never built to work for you.
Book: Backyard Farming: Composting | Author: Kim Pezza | ISBN: 978-1-57826-587-9 | Hatherleigh Press, 2015
We made it. Twelve posts later, we’ve covered everything from ancient Egyptian worm decrees to DIY bin plans to the science of thermophilic bacteria. And honestly, I think composting might be one of the most underrated things a person can do.
So we’re done. Twelve posts covering one Forgotten Realms novel from 1997 that most people have never heard of. And I want to wrap up with why I think this book deserves more attention than it gets.
So that’s Planeswalker. Twenty-four chapters of a Phyrexian newt trying to save a broken god from himself, and in the end giving her life to finish what he couldn’t.
This is the last post in the series, and I want to end with something personal. Not my story. Kim Pezza’s.
Book: It’s About Squirrels… | Author: Lynn Abbey
So we made it through the whole story. Squirrels, ghosts, brownies, a fairy queen who can’t pronounce “electricity,” and a Rube Goldberg trap made of beer cups and silverware balanced on a rocking chair. What a ride.
Book: The Rise and Fall of a Dragon King | Author: Lynn Abbey | Series: Chronicles of Athas, Book 5
Book: The Nether Scroll by Lynn Abbey Series: Lost Empires, Book 4 (Forgotten Realms) ISBN: 0-7869-1566-8
We’ve walked through the entire Nether Scroll chapter by chapter. Time to step back and talk about the book as a whole.
This is the final post in our retelling series on The Commercial Real Estate Tsunami: A Survival Guide for Lenders, Owners, Buyers, and Brokers by Tony Wood (ISBN: 978-0-470-63637-4, John Wiley & Sons, 2010), with a foreword by Matthew Anderson.
We made it. Twelve posts later, we have covered every chapter of Backyard Farming: Homesteading by Kim Pezza (Hatherleigh Press, 2015, ISBN: 978-1-57826-598-5). And I have to say, this book has a lot more in it than its slim size suggests.
