It's time to wrap-up my December reading - a bit up and down, but three series finales to round out the year. Hear more about it here: youtu.be/NDO9Y8HG5Uo How was your reading month?

It's time for my first TBR of 2026, so come and see how I'm looking to kickstart the year: youtu.be/QwO7zHY50-A What do you have planned for your January reading?

Kicking off my 2026 with the biggest book from my reading plan. What's up first for you?

Awesome Christmas books from my lovely wife and daughter 🥂🥰 Hope you all had a good one too x

One of my favourite videos to make (but not to edit!) is my reading plan for the upcoming year. Come and check out what I've put on my plan for 2026 here: youtu.be/SvHv3pHvlNI What do you think will be a hit, and what's on your own plan for next year?

Also, holy moly! Goodreads have actually made a change to their ratings process for ARCs. Not exactly foolproof, but maybe it's something...

Five stars! Thanks @robjhayes.bsky.social, this was a belter. I guess I'm adding The God Eater Saga to my 2026 reading plan now!

A while back, I asked for applications for my 2026 reading plan - and here I go through nearly thirty of them, read each synopsis, and give the book a "yes, no, or maybe." Get comfortable, because it's a long one! youtu.be/VmsUL9nNHI8

I had to hold on to this one until unveiling day, but I got awesome bookmail from my Secret Santa on my book club Discord. Thank you so much - a fantastic first book, and a book-of-the-year contender follow-up! 🥂🔥

Bookmail! Just opened this beautiful beastie from one of my Discord friends. Thanks so much Maz! 🔥🥂

Join me as I wrap up the reading I did in November: youtu.be/pBlxqExVBXY What did you read last month? Any new favourites?

It's time for the final monthly TBR of the year! What are you planning to read in December? My reading plan is here, check it out: youtu.be/UrtfkhUOTu4

Beautiful bookmail today - The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver by Rafael Torrubia looks gorgeous, sounds great, and is a bit of a beast as well! Thank you Ellie at @gollancz.bsky.social 🥂

It's overdue, but it's here – my wrap-up of the reading I did in October features not one, but two five-star bangers! Check it out here: youtu.be/ovlaPU1q5mI

Awesome bookmail yesterday. Thank you @scrimscribes.bsky.social not only for the book, but for giving us this incredible series in the first place. For anyone else, if you haven't read Sea of Souls, I highly recommend you go check it out! This final book releases tomorrow! 🥂🔥

This is where I'd normally have a video wrapping up last month's reading, but my filming is out of commission for a week or so. I had a good month though, and you can hear more about it hopefully next week! How was your October in books?

Wife got a new doodlecats t-shirt, and I know some of you will appreciate it as much as I do!

Recommend some fantasy or sci-fi for me to look at as I put together my 2026 reading plan. I'm looking for standalones or first books in a series and I'll take a look at every rec, and add the ones I like the look of to my plan or my extended TBR.

Dear Microsoft Word, I get that she might not always be able to find and retrieve it again, but trust me, when I say my character "looses an arrow", no, I do not mean that she "loses an arrow"! Yours sincerely, Dom

Cued up and ready to go!

Diving back into The Blood Scouts today. Thanks @fantasticphil.bsky.social - and it was great to meet you in Brighton!

I chatted with one of my heroes at World FantasyCon in Brighton this weekend. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social, you're an absolutely lovely guy and I'm glad I finally got to meet you. My daughter was jealous that I'd met Grumpy from Once Upon a Time until I told her who you are though!😅

Fancy a chunky first-contact crime thriller? Eventide is on sale this week for $0.99/£0.89. Alternatively, pick it up on KU: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B088QDDH5W

It's TBR time! As we wind up to the end of the year, I have exactly zero books in November that count towards my 2025 reading plan! Check out the books that do make it here: youtu.be/MQIEvFw4Ht8 What's on your November plan?

Can you believe I've never, ever been to a convention? I'm breaking that streak tomorrow - maybe see you in Brighton if you're there too.

It's finally time to discover my favourite decade for fantasy books! I've really enjoyed going through my highlights from the '80s to the present day, but which decade took top spot? Find out here: youtu.be/eBJQ1De_YBY What was your favourite decade, and was mine a surprise?

Sweet bookmail in today from @robjhayes.bsky.social! Thanks so much Rob, this looks (and sounds) great 🥂 Hammerfall, a standalone novel from Rob's God Eater Saga, is out in February, so keep your eyes peeled for my thoughts on this one!

I'm back in my quest to find my favourite decade of fantasy books. Today, I'm looking at the 2020s so far—and only having 5 years to pull from doesn't disadvantage this one at all! youtu.be/pv8AvqCGwDk What are your favourites, and how will this decade fare against the others?

It's taking me a while to get through these because they are both big, intense books, but my word, they are both incredible. I'm having such a good time with my reading right now. Have you read either of these, or the first books in their respective series?

Today is the 4th anniversary of The Thirteenth Hour, the first book in my Cruel Gods series. This book went on to become a SPFBO & BBNYA finalist AND Indie Ink award winner for best setting/wittiest character! To celebrate, I've put the ebook up for FREE for today only! 🥳 mybook.to/TheThirteent...

How did your reading go last month? Mine was pretty good overall, even if I had a DNF and a series I've decided not to continue with. At least there's a book of the year contender to balance those out! Check out my thoughts here: youtu.be/dxqbjLNOI8U

Another month, another TBR, and for some reason I seem to be mostly reading sequels in October. Check out my plan here: youtu.be/JRbY4kQvTX8 What are you planning to read?

Tides of Torment is out in November, and it's a belter. If you haven't read the Sea of Souls Saga, now's the time to check it out and see why I recommend this trilogy so highly.

I'm nearly finished, which means soon I'll have some tough decisions to make! Check out my highlights of fantasy from the 2010s here: youtu.be/OW7TrclU10k What surprises you here, and what's missing from your own highlights list? Is this the best decade of fantasy?

It's time for part three of my quest to find my favourite decade of fantasy - today I'm looking at books published in the 2000s! What are your highlights, and how does this decade fare against the 80s and the 90s for you? youtu.be/pvc1dERa9YE

Hey everyone! It's time for my (slightly delayed) August reading wrap-up. Check out the books I read, and my thoughts on them, here: youtu.be/VKOgZwQP1eY How did your reading go? Did you find any new favourites?

This one crept up on me a bit, but it's TBR time! What are you planning to read in September? I have some fantasy, scifi, and (oddly for me) historical fiction lined up. Check it out here: youtu.be/aUeNsiCVO6M

I'm back in my quest to figure out my favourite decade for fantasy books. This time, I'm taking a look at books published in the 1990s. Check out my highlights here: youtu.be/a2x-URLUkFk What are your favourites, and were there any surprises in the top five I picked out?

Time to revisit the Gifts of the Auldtree...

What is the best decade for fantasy books? To answer the question (for me), I'm taking a look at some of my favourites from each decade, starting here with the 1980s: youtu.be/HV6_oimn5YU What are your favourite books and series published in the 80s?

Dragon Spirits? Completed it, mate! My pre-order has arrived, and the set is now complete. Thanks @llmacrae.bsky.social for the grand adventure! 🥂

It's review day today and I'm taking a spoiler-free look at Dragon Thief by Blake & Raven Penn. Check out my thoughts here: youtu.be/UeZqkc938E0 What did you think of Dragon Thief, or are you interested in picking it up?

It's a wrap! Check out my thoughts on the books I read in July here: youtu.be/97Ux-DH_woc How did your reading go last month?

New audiobook to kick off August. This one's off to a good start:
