Pippin Took, the Shire hobbit

“And yes, I’m aware that “this isn’t how it looks” is just about the oldest cliché in the book. I’m aware that you have a trail of bodies and the only that connects all of them is me. I’m aware of Occam’s razor.” - Extremity, Nicholas Binge

Ooooooh looky what showed up in the email today! If you signed up for the ARC of this amazing antho put together by the Secret Scribes, check your inboxes!!!

'The Scour' in gold, on black-covered novella. A bollock dagger and a rondel dagger are crossed over it.

I've just finished reading this fantastic murder mystery full of magic and intrigue. The Scour by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social , a prequel novella to The Justice of Kings featuring Sir Konrad Vonvalt.

I've been reading this and it is such an excellent book.

Big up @pippintook.bsky.social for the recommendation. And I'm passing it on.

Read this book.

A fine brunch with fine gentlemen.

A cosmic, coming-of-age creature feature that reads like butter and hurts as bad as any John Lewis advert, “Good 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

Review: A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper | FanFiAddict Synopsis: A kink-fixated couple, Carmen and Blanca, have been in a rut. That is until Blanca discovers the enigmatic Smoke in an under-street drug den, who ...

“A 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.

I hear @lordtbrffa.bsky.social is looking to expand the book review team at FanFiAddict.com. I've had a great time contributing there, definitely shoot him a message if you're interested!

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?

Mira has said she has outlines and plans ready for the next few books in this world and has even revealed the titles for 2-3 of them. But she’s not able to write them because Orbit isn’t buying it from her 😅

A post from user kingstonwrites (maybe from Threads?) that reads "I hope this email finds you and in the darkness binds you"

Spotted on IG. LMAO

I love this book. I cannot believe Orbit is not commissioning the sequels 😤

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

Otherwise, it's sparkling cartoons.

Thanks to his focus on gritty, psychologically rich characters, KING OF ASHES is the kind of book that only gets better and more rewarding with each turn of the page. See what else I had to say about @blacktopkid.bsky.social's latest epic crime novel 👇 💙📚 ⚡📚 #booksky

Just finished Fate’s Bane by C. L. Clark and I was not prepared for the whole gamut of human emotion I would go through with the ending. My poor, poor heart. I don’t know if I am happy or sad. It’s just such a beautiful, beautiful tale 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Review: Violence & Vigilance (Turisia Untamed #1) by David T. List | FanFiAddict Synopsis: Irdessa the Undying, a renowned arena fighter in Fohrvylda, has escaped imprisonment but at great cost. Broken and alone, she must outwit and outf ...

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.

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

“Your whole army couldn’t kill me, you shit-sucking wretch,” Kersad said. “What makes you think you can?”

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