Extremely liberal, ex-pat. Will delete MAGAts & other deplorables without delay. No DMs & if you're not dressed, don't bother. NOT THE SLIGHTEST BIT INTERESTED IN YOUR RELIGION! If you're following 40k already, why bother?

"Some story. Entertaining for sure, but it mostly just added up to one big what the fuck?"

A very funny yet also tense tale with a whole lot of crazy things happening at once! Noir mystery done just the way I like it!

I know this is a weird suggestion, but if you get a chance, go to disco in Prague. I went some years ago and I've never seen folks happier to be able to freely express themselves. THe scars of Soviet occupation do not heal quickly!

Well, to be fair, she's got enough stuffing shoved into those suede mourning pants to keep him interested for at least 30 seconds worth of action & fun!

"All life is risky if you try hard enough."

Happy launch day to @christullbane.bsky.social whose 2nd book in his amazing LitRPG series comes out TODAY! Again, he delivers an exciting, action- & intrique-filled fantasy tale that you don't want to miss!

"Monstre: Vol.1" by Duncan Swan (no next volume nor even book that I can find by this writer). But perfect creature feature that if it actually happened, would have literally made it's way north into my backyard! Next probably either "Heart-Shaped Box" by Joe Hill or "Infected" by Scott Sigler.

Not yet. I just happened to stumble across this one while looking for something else. Truth be told, I'd never even heard of him before!

You know, the doctors in the Las Vegas area probably have a lot of experience getting rid of, well, multitudes... just sayin'...

"Underestimate nuns at your peril… the instant you let your guard down, they’ll make mincemeat of you."

Um, literally. A mostly funny adventure pitting the MIB (Catholic version) vs. some weird & hungry "nuns"! Cultural references & mucho ha-ha's!

Europe changed clocks last night. We - including the dog - hate this. We're gaining maybe 2-3 weeks of slightly brighter mornings, noting this is the time of year it typically rains from mid-Oct to the start of Dec so it doesn't matter anyway. What a fvcking stupid system.

"Old age isn’t so bad, considering the alternative."

An interesting if not often predictable read, blending the grumpy old-mannness of "A Man Called Ove" with the telekinetic horror of "Carrie" (an obvious combination, right?).

"How little most people comprehend of the white-hot power of buried evil."

Another fantastic & highly imaginative offer from VPH, my 3rd already this year! A mix of a CDC frontline battle vs. an unknown outbreak, a haunted + abandoned theme park & more!

Apparently I'm inimitable which I think means you can't insert things into my body. Hey, I read for pleasure not understanding...

All kidding aside, this book is awesome! Watch this space for my Release Day plug!

"I’m not crazy. I’m fine. It’s not me. There really is a Pumpkin Man."

This... was a stinker. It's so bad it was actually kind of entertaining if you ignore the plot, the characters, the typos, & worse. My advice? Run away! Unlike most of the cast...

- also hoping for more soon from @cjpowell.bsky.social and his "Mousebane & Red Mist #1" series and/or his "Demon Hunter's Wife". Again, great fantasy, great mystery!

If I may be so bold (I may) and besides present company, books/series I've enjoyed with great detectives include:
- @jnevair.bsky.social 's "Agent Renault" series. That lady kicks galactic butt!
- @shanecarrow.bsky.social's "Avery & Carter" WW1-era spy/detective/monsters books!
