Another #booksky review I just didn’t jive with the prose as much as I wanted to. The few great plot points were surrounded by meandering character thoughts. I may pick up the second one once it comes out as long as reviews are good.

#booksky review! He can’t keep getting away with this! The series is impressive with how much is juggled and carried throughout, all while progressing a larger plot and having characters grow. Only hang up is that parts of the middle felt a bit bogged down by some of the actual strategy portion.

Any fan of Discworld, or satirical fantasy, should not only back this very cool project, but also read the Dark Profit saga. It’s probably some of my fav self published fantasy EVER!

#booksky how did your April reads go?

We want 7!

ARC #booksky review!! This book serves as another example of the impressive ability of @fondalee.bsky.social to create engaging characters with so much depth, and this time in a standalone gritty sci-fi world. If you want a kickass sci-fi standalone, pick this up when it comes out May 5th!

My review for the newest from @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social This is an excellent start to a fantasy trilogy. He does a fantastic job plotting and setting up a gritty world that you simply want more of. Snag this new release when you want something that will grip you until the end!

Quick #booksky review I’m not quite sure what the strategy with the plot was, because switching to a seemingly entirely different “gaming” system after laying out a vast and interesting one in the first book was not (in my opinion) in the top 5 of good thoughts.

Those crazy idiots did it. The Sabres won their division and made it look easy in arguably the hardest division in the league.

I should do a giveaway here too! I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

Quick #booksky review This felt like an Econ 201 class, but only for the most relevant stuff for current times. There were a couple formatting issues I had, and it was maybe lacking some “on the ground” or “here’s where you come in to make change”, but that’s just me.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

This looks amazing! Can’t wait to get my hands on this new @jzacharypike.bsky.social book

And dare I say….Schenn and Stanley looked good in the process

Happy ‘don’t believe things on the internet’ day! #aprilfools

I just started this today by @kyla.bsky.social and I feel like I can already speak to economics better #booksky

#booksky #fantasy Review! This was great! This was a super compelling way to start a series. Epic world building, great characters, with a solid political backdrop to boot. The prose and characters take more to get used to, at least for the first third, but other than that, this SLAPS.

And everyone liked that

A fav of mine!!

Sabres need a win today. And not just because I’ll be at the game.

Not sure how the Sabres only come away with one after that period.

#booksky review time! The story keeps rolling and again I’m impressed with the character work, both primary and secondary. I liked all the different plot points and pacing, though I think there could have been a bit more focus on certain aspects rather than others. I’m excited to continue!

And at the same time, someone happened to be cutting onions in my house

#booksky review time Upon a re-read some 8 years later (gasp), I took my rating down a few notches. I’ve found myself admiring how Butcher blocks out scenes and uses dialogues, and finding the little similarities between this and Dresden is a delight. Bonus: this could be read as a standalone.

It's so funny to me when an entertainment company says "Man up." "Man up and accept shitty art!" "Man up and pay $100 for a game!" I...don't have to? www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

Project Hail Mary x Dropout anyone?

Quick novella #bluesky review Probably one of my favorite novellas out there. Especially given our current socioeconomic climate, this story hits hard. You’re immediately invested in our character and the world, and the journey he goes on. Can’t wait to continue this story this year!

So much winning. Are we done winning yet? 🙄

Nonfic #booksky review! I totally get the hype for this book. Understanding the relationship between humans and “our” world (“our” = all life). The author does an excellent job in balancing stories with science with real world examples of how we could/did/should treat the earth. Highly recommend!

Another #booksky review! The idea was cool, the plot wasn’t bad, but the dialogue and pacing was tough. Our main character, a goblin didn’t really have distinct voice compared to others. Dang. I wanted this to be better.

Another #booksky review! This was good! The author does a great job at making characters and moments feel real (and messy, which is also real), especially at times with heavy emotions. I struggled with formatting and prose a bit, but for the most part once you get used to it, it’s fine.

I’m DYING at this setup #sabres

Just gonna leave this here #sabres

Everyone agrees: yes

Now do you believe??!!

#booksky nonfic review! 5 stars. No notes. I think everyone should read this book. The premise of the book is simple, but the science is vast and eye opening, even if the essential idea is that more sleep = good. It’s so much more than that, and so much more than an individual level.

The Ripped Bodice is such a great name

Another #booksky review! I was gripped. Gripped, I tell you, for the back half of this book. I had only wished the romance portion was teased out more early on, and some of thr British-isms didn’t go over my head. Regardless, gripped!

New #booksky review for Operation Bounce House: If DCC is my favorite pizza at my favorite pizza joint, this is when they try a new combo of ingredients. I liked it, I thought the base of it was familiar, but it doesn’t compare to ole reliable. If you like DCC, you’re going to like this too.

Time for a #booksky review! Locklands by Robert Jackson Bennett 4.5⭐️ Full review on my Fable! fable.co/review/32f18...

The NFL could do something funny at next year’s #Superbowl and have a lineup of all K-pop stars for a Halftime show 🤭

The Legion of Eww #epsteinfiles

My ears perked up while watching the Olympics because of @dimension20.bsky.social Gladlands

I’m excited for this AND to gleefully yell at the ignorants that think he’s not American.

It’s almost like he’s a racist old man?

Currently reading: Locklands by RJB and an e-ARC of The Last Contract of Isako by @fondalee.bsky.social #booksky

Rebooting my Bluesky to be random thoughts PLUS #booksky reviews of books I’m reading this year. Here’s January!

But I thought comedy was legal again?

Becoming a “thank you for your service” guy for a car dealership is the logical endpoint of American conservatism
