#3 of the 2025 book wrap up is... Neuromancer, by William Gibson. This one was a reread for me, but it's been a long, long time. My first reading of Neuromancer was a confused one. What the hell is happening here, I thought? It was difficult... #booksky #scifi #fantasy #bestof2025

2025 book wrap up! I read a lot of good books this year, and they deserve some love! I'm going to go through the seven or so of my favorites that I read this year, in no particular order. I will cheat on some of my entries and put multiple books or series because it is my list and I can! #1 is...

Roughly 400 pages into this little hors d'oeuvre of a book. Really enjoying it! Probably my favorite of the series so far. Stormlight is not my favorite Brandosando but I'm getting into this one. #booksky #fantasy #cosmere #stormlight #ilovejasnah #navanimommy

I didn't think I could really get excited about a videogame announcement anymore but then I watched the teaser for the new Knights of the Old Republic game and, let me tell you, I was WRONG.

Dispatch is the best romantasy for guys that I've ever seen. Obviously its not JUST for guys, but it works as romance for men better than most.

Completely obsessed with this album. I had to read Neuromancer again. clppng.bandcamp.com/album/dead-c...

Incredibly snowcrash-coded

This is a great (and awesomely weird) book.

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want. (Here's the opening of "Neptune's Brood".)

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Ah that's why Democrats caved

Oh yeah I see now

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

I'm almost afraid to ask, but why is everyone posting and making videos about "fandom"?

Not recommended if you like sleeping with the lights off.

Weekly writing Roundup: I'm bringing it back as a way to stay accountable! I'm now working on developmental edits for the book, which is a fantasy spy thriller thing. I would love to do twenty five edited pages a week. Might be optimistic. So far I'm 13 pages/202. #books #fantasy #writing

I loved this book.

I strongly believe that Chess' enduring appeal is in no small way because it is one of the few musically coherent through-sung (or mostly) Broadway musicals. The other ones that are actually good are basically just Sondheim and Superstar. The rest of them are all varying levels of bad.

My wife just used the word "elderscrolling" to describe getting older, which is hilarious to me.

Recently rewatched this with my kids and was struck by: 1. How good the script was, and 2. How effortlessly it handles a fairly heavy burden of exposition. Instructive for anyone who seems to write speculative fiction.

Online reality is curated by massive corporations whose only concern is profit via captured attention. Seems like a pretty dangerous mix.

It's an unsettling feeling that a twitch streamer is better able to identify the underlying problems with modern American life than the mainstream media, which as a whole seems completely blind to said issues.

This is likely the funniest thing written on this platform up to this point

Counterpoint. George R. R. Martin should purposely not finish these books and have a stipulation in his will that no one else can do so after he dies.

I really love A Song of Ice and Fire and I hope George RR is having a nice day today. I don't care when or if he finishes the series. What he's written already is great. Finishing/not finishing doesn't change that.

Weekly writing Roundup: IT'S DONE!!!! The number of words written this week is wonderfully irrelevant because it's done!!!! 119,118 words. It's a second draft and there's a long way to go to making this a real book and a decent piece of art but I am very happy... #booksky #fantasy #writing

I love working at a job because it gives you the opportunity to say something so magnificently stupid that you can't believe it came out of your mouth and it's in front of your peers and coworkers and then you get to think about that thing all day and the next day and the next day.

Weekly writing Roundup: 4.4k words this week. 115k total on the second draft of the fantasy spy thriller. 120k target. #booksky #fantasy #writing #realwordcount My goal is to finish the day draft in July, so by Thursday. Once I'm done, it goes in the drawer for at least two weeks.

And mage and sailor are not so far apart; both work with the powers of sky and sea, and bend great winds to the uses of their hands, bringing near what was remote.

Weekly writing Roundup: My book does not have dragons, but Navola does. I read it earlier this year and it is really good! 5.4k words this week. 94k total on the second draft of the fantasy spy thriller. #booksky #fantasy #writing #realwordcount

Has anyone considered telling Trump and the Republicans that Europe doesn't have birthright citizenship in most countries? Maybe that would convince them it's a good thing.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Weekly writing Roundup: Apropos of nothing, Ive been rereading the realm of the elderlings series and really enjoying it. Robin Hobb is so good. 5.4k words this week. 91k total on the second draft of the fantasy spy thriller. #booksky #fantasy #writing #realwordcount

Fun to imagine what it would be like to breezily write a paragraph as good as this

This is from the first Earthsea book, which I'm reading with my son right now. It's really good! There are many more of these great passages that make you want to stop reading and just go whoa
