my most used emoji is 🫠 which I think says a lot about my life choices

New review (in progress), this time for Atelier Resleriana! Didn’t finish the story so I’m leaving the score for now but it’s so good!! Definitely a game for fans of the series! www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/72567...

If you want my thoughts on over 40 series, do I have the video for you 🪐📚💙 #booksky youtu.be/4Ay2Dpeas1c

It’s Monday which means it’s time to review another book. This week it’s book 7 in the Hybrid Helix, Shield of the Mothership by @jcmberne.bsky.social 🪐📚💙 #booksky #bookreview #booktube youtu.be/lVWQ9zI31dw

In which is try and get everyone to read @jcmberne.bsky.social for the 76th time youtu.be/qnxX5c6IGJ0 #booksky 🪐📚💙

Like is too damn short - if I feel like a book is going to be a 3 star or below I am very likely to just DNF it. The two times since having the channel I have pushed through books I really didn't like I have regretted it as a massive waste of time!

I preferred it when he just fought daleks

After 20 months of reading together the time is finally here - Matt and I go weapons free on spoilers in our final ever discussion for our #WheelOfTime buddy read for A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and @brandonsanderson.com youtu.be/UwwGpbO6BoQ #BookSky 🪐📚💙 #WoTSkies #TheWheelOfTime

It’s review time! I fell in love with a new self-pub urban fantasy, Time-Marked Warlock by @gameoverstation.bsky.social #booksky 🪐📚💙 youtu.be/6KGiF0fFQts

It's Friday, Friday, gotta talk books on Friday. This week I've been reading: Time Marked Warlock by @gameoverstation.bsky.social Northern Lights by Philip Pullman Rise of the Ranger by Philip C. Quaintrell Shield of the Mothership by @jcmberne.bsky.social Video live now: youtu.be/QZ4jjwEBT2c 🪐📚💙

I'm reading Malazan: Book of the Fallen youtu.be/FKDBGxzHxNw 💙🪐📚 #booksky #Malazan

I had to stop listening to @fireescape.bsky.social at the gym because I was laughing too much at the time travel conversation and kept failing lifts

I was so grateful to see this in my podcatcher as I walked to the gym tonight

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

20 months, 15 books, 4.4 million words. Was it worth it? #wheeloftime #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/2JiCH1A-jtw

Starting Time Marked Warlock by @gameoverstation.bsky.social as my first book of #SelfPubSeptember!

It’s happened. After 3 years of waiting, The Crippled God is 99p on Kindle. I’ve now bought all of Malazan Book of the Fallen for under £10. Nobody mention the money I spent on special editions.

Training legs today 🫠

Finished A Memory of Light, and by extension The Wheel of Time last night. What an ending.

Down 8.5kg since I started tracking calories roughly 2 months ago, and 12.5kg since I got back in to running in April. Clothes fitting better, photos of me from our holiday last week look great. Dieting is still hard, but I’m making great progress.

It’s out. Go get it! 😎

The Mister Terrific fight scene in Superman is obviously fantastic fun, but it underlines how superheroes are just built different in the DCU. Marvel is full of guys who somehow got powers and kinda ran with it, but Terrific, Batman, Superman - knew they wanted to help people and worked for it.

Gratifying to see a lot of my lower heart rate paces slowly rising. When I started zone 2 training my pace was around 9:30 to stay at the top end of zone 2, but now I can run 8 minutes per km in the low zone 2

It’s wild to see how people talk about AI on BlueSky compared to how people talk about it on LinkedIn

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

Seeing people constantly talk about how the UK needs to build more houses on LinkedIn is boiling my blood. There is no housing crisis in the UK, we have a landlord crisis.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Thanks so much to @justinleeanderson.com and @orbitbooksuk.bsky.social for getting me a copy of Bitter Crown for review - keep an eye on the channel as I will be reading very soon!

It’s such a shame that WhatsApp is just the default texting app in the UK because whenever I need to use iMessage I realise it’s so much nicer to use! More features, better looking, more fun!

I loved The Lost War! Do I hate Dark Age? | Weekly Reading Recap 1/8/25 youtu.be/NXABQFKbOdU 🪐📚💙

There's an episode of the 90s Fantastic Four animated series where, at the very end, Ghost Rider (voiced by Richard Grieco) just randomly shows up with zero explanation, defeats Galactus in 1 minute, and then leaves

Finished The Lost War by @justinleeanderson.com - phenomenally fun fantasy. I was worried it wouldn’t all come together as there was a lot going on, but at the end of the book every storyline came together in one big revelation I hadn’t predicted. Really good.

Should you read Isles of the Emberdark? youtu.be/u_hBgLY5wjU 🪐📚💙

Because we're friends I will tell you the secret new series I have started, it's the Eidyn Saga from @justinleeanderson.com and lemme tell you, it's a banger. More on The Lost War and Isles of the Emberdark by @brandonsanderson.com in this week's Friday Show: youtu.be/dogr1l0Feyk 🪐📚💙

I turned up to watch Fantastic 4 in a Superman shirt ironically but then actually really didn’t like F4 and kinda wish I’d just watched Superman again

Please enjoy the longest spoiler discussion I have ever made at 2 hours exactly - book 13 in the #wheeloftime, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and @brandonsanderson.com 🪐📚💙 youtu.be/bXBt-L--1Yc

Please enjoy my video review of Iron Gold by Pierce Brown, the first book in the Red Rising sequel quadrilogy 🪐📚 youtu.be/uwPp-QHIKW4

Got the goods

the craziest part of superman (2025) is that jimmy olsen writes a world changing story directly in the CMS

would be cool if we hit 200k signatures on WoT Con weekend #TheWheelOfTime #SaveWoT savewot.com

Accidentally got drawn into scrolling Threads and by god the idiocy you see there due to how that algorithm is tuned

This novella was so much fun, buy it now!

It’s 2069, The Rizzler has just begun his campaign for a fourth term as President of the corporation formerly known as America. He’s running unopposed.

Incredibly sad to hear Jim Shooter has passed away, far too young only 73. Thanks for all the amazing stories, Jim.

Got the food scale out tonight to weigh French fries. Unsure if I have gone insane or…

So fucking chuffed with today’s run - it’s 5 mins warmup, 45 mins in zone 2, 5 mins cooldown. My heart rate only slipped over in to zone 3 for less than 2 minutes of the 45! Huge improvement for me.

Well, shit. Incredible. What a journey I’ve been on the last month, can’t wait to see what’s next.

This movie is going to actually fix me as a person youtu.be/np3GJNICJAA?...

Well, this little sequel to The Edan Trilogy is out today. While Darkness Gathers is an experiment for me, a risk and an attempt to say more with less while exploring how we can respond to the gathering darkness. Am I excited? Yes. Nervous? Oh, yeah. Grateful? More than anything.

The London Marathon ballot situation is ridiculous. IMHO if you have run it in the past 5-10 years you shouldn’t be allowed to enter again on the ballot. And if you want to do it again within those 5-10 years you need to raise money for a charity place or qualify on G4A.
