I fully endorse being able to make a citizen's arrest on anyone who gives a negative rating/review to the third book of a series, while openly admitting to not having read the previous two books. I can say this because I'm not an author. Pelt me with tomatoes if you must though.

I will literally watch any Godzilla movie no matter how bad it is.

I call out genius when I encounter it. And Anthony Ryan's books are freaking genius. I so enjoy reading them. On my third series of his right now (Draconis Memoria) and yeah, brilliant.

Went to the grocery store to buy some chili. Same size can: With beans: $3.99 Without beans: $5.29 Why should I be penalized an extra $1.30 a can because I don't want beans? People need to go to jail for this.

Ooo. And I also see @orbitbooks.bsky.social is reprinting FEERSUM ENDJINN and it too is on Netgalley

This is my favorite culture book too. If you haven't read it, you should absolutely go check it out.

EXCESSION by Iain M. Banks hasn't been available in ebook format in the US for what seems like forever. So it was with an incredible amount of excitement that I saw it available as a digital ARC on @netgalley.bsky.social this morning. It's about time! Definitely my favorite of the Culture books.

It's Game Day!!!! #flyeaglesfly

The Black Company is essentially a less-confusing Malazan. And I'm all for it.

Only 5 days left! Go go go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jaa...

*in Jawa voice* "Panini!"

I couldn't resist. Because who doesn't need the images of the Death Star and Darth Vader burned into their grilled cheese sandwiches?

Rereading ANATHEM by Neal Stephenson because I'm in a bit of a rut and this book is just so damn good.

17k written this week, and I'm calling it there. We're fast approaching the finale of the 2nd book in the Age of the God Eater. Also fast approaching the 300k words marker... There's still a long way to go, but for everyone awaiting phase 2 of the Saga... It's coming!

My 11 year-old has recently discovered Hamilton. And it's been a sing fest ever since. I now know the entire soundtrack by heart.

These 10:05 pm baseball game start times are killing me. Us East Coasters have to work in the morning. #GoPhillies

Starting to get that Halloween itch like I want to read some horror books.

This up next, a short story collection by @justinarobson.bsky.social author of, among others, Natural History, Mappa Mundi and Silver Screen. Contains a story "Legolas Does the Dishes" which sounds most intriguing. #scifibooks #sciencefiction #nowreading

My perfect Sunday would be: 1. The Phillies clinch the NL East 2. The Eagles beat the Chiefs

Demon is a gritty, heart-breaking, viscerally horrifying story that should delight any and all grimdark fans.

I just need everything in our house to stop breaking. For both my financial and mental well-being.

Oh goodness. An early review of A SWORD OF GOLD AND RUIN that's just amazing. Wonderful! Thank you so much @nickborrelli.bsky.social Thank you!

Just ordered food from a local small business seafood place in our neighborhood and got this message. I never really thought about how much third party delivery apps like GrubHub & DoorDash hurt mom & pop places like this. But going forward I will definitely be more cognizant of ordering directly.

Since I’m working through Metroidvanias and exploration platform games this year, I made a full group for them on my Switch 2 About half of the shown picture are completed (not in order) Alt text for list #videogames #metroidvania

Finally got around to posting a new book review. So it's already been a productive Saturday as far as I'm concerned.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is hard to put down, somehow mixing stats with the end of the world to make an utterly consumable adventure. Full review!

Today, I bring you a review for The Art of Dragon Magazine. Take a look! #Bookblogger #FantasyArt #DnD #Dragonlance #Greyhawk #Dragons #ArtBook

My daughter just got on the bus for her first day of high school. When did I get so old?

ARC REVIEW: THE SUMMER WAR OR A FAIRYTALE THAT IT’S SOOO HARD TO PUT DOWN! Hello hello! Today I am here with a review for a book that surprised me and that I really loved. I was a tad undecided because I had two reviews to write, for two books I loved, and since today is my birthday, I wanted to…

In the mood to watch some Hitchcock tonight.

Was out doing stuff with my wife today and walked into a public bathroom only to see a guy clipping his toe nails in one of the sinks. Needless to say I didn't use that particular sink when I washed my hands.

Let me preface this by saying this isn't a commentary about George RR Martin, just an interesting fact is all. So...A Dance With Dragons was published 3 weeks after my first child was born. Next week she starts high school.

Join me LIVE tonight 8PM BST with @gdwrightwrites.bsky.social bestselling author of Into the Fire, on the Creative Differences podcast where we discuss the little things that make a big difference to the creative process... FB: fb.me/e/j9ow58Zix YT: youtube.com/live/XipkSN9...

My 14 year-old daughter is hooked on Radiohead. Big time dad achievement unlocked.

Here’s my review of The Winter Goddess by Megan Barnard. Irish mythology and folklore bring this story to life! #booksky #sff pagechewing.com/the-winter-g...

I really should do a book review soon. It's been ages.

Reading update time! This week, RED CITY has absolutely got its claws in me, I had an enjoyable time with ARC from Naomi Novik, and I've got an adorable fantasy romcom on deck!

I swear there's not a day that goes by where my kids are watching someone's YouTube channel that I don't utter the phrase "Why are these people famous?"

Cover reveal time! Come see the awesome new cover for Queen of Thorns by Joel C. Flanagan-Grannemann! @servantand.bsky.social #coverreveal #fantasybook #bookblogger #booksky

Been stalking NetGalley daily looking for the new Richard Swan ARC of STEEL GODS, the sequel to Grave Empire. I need it like I need oxygen.

If I don't look out my window I won't see how bad my yard looks.

I Knew I shouldn't have gotten so excited when I saw that all of the Horus Heresy books were available through Libby. Apparently these aren't available to download through Amazon like most, you have to read them directly on the Libby app. Which is probably the most horribly formatted eReader ever.

I bounced off the Christopher Ruocchio series hard the first time I tried to read Empire of Silence earlier this year. I'm glad I gave it a second shot though because I'm enjoying it a lot more this time around. The writing is so damn tight and I like the wonderful blend of fantasy and scifi.
