A cosmic, coming-of-age creature feature that reads like butter and hurts as bad as any John Lewis advert, β€œGood Boy,” by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social is hearty, warming and scary as hell.

I just crossed a 100 pages in Mists of Memory and I’m loving it. It’s so good it’s inspiring me to read sequels more and not abandon series after reading just the book 1s

β€œA Game in Yellow,” by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social is queer, cosmic, carnal madness that coils itself around your brain stem and talks dirty to you in an ancient language.

A huge thanks to @ajcalvin.bsky.social for joining The Four Beardsmen to chat about her books including the recently released sci fi / space opera Wraith and the Revolution.

As usual the chat went down a few wormholes but you wouldn’t expect anything else right?

Remember, it's only anime if it's from Japan.

Otherwise, it's sparkling cartoons.

New book review!

With a mix of gladiator-style combat, song-based magic, and a centuries-old feud between "unkillable" adversaries, Violence & Vigilance by David T List was a really fun read.

Reading genre fiction has helped my capacity for critical thinking and empathy. Different ideas and perspectives are vital to understanding the world and people around us.

Read more, think more, understand more. Open mindedness, the willingness to change ones mind or admit you might be wrong is ok.

β€œWhy don’t you just give up and die, old man?” the saffron soldier asked, though it felt more of a wish than a question.

β€œYour whole army couldn’t kill me, you shit-sucking wretch,” Kersad said. β€œWhat makes you think you can?”

A 50 page book with a 500 page emotional gut punch; this is skill.
