Let's go!!

Really enjoyed book 1, stoked to see more indie authors getting it done!

190k words... oh my goodness.

The Devils by Joe Abercrombie may have become my favourite read of 2025. If you're looking for a hilarious, not quite Grimdark fantasy romp—you need to read this. His best writing to date, and a great entry point if you want to start with his books.

I finally read Empire of Silence and I must say, if you're a fan of classic #scifi IPs like Dune, or modern hits like Red Rising—you will love this book. Probably my favourite read so far of 2025!

It's been a big week for Indie Fantasy! SPFBO 2024 has crowned a champion, and fellow BookTuber @monteroauthor.bsky.social released his debut epic fantasy novel! If you're a fan of political intrigue, and classic epic fantasy, I highly recommend checking it out!

For my #LitRPG fans here on #Booksky if you were a fan of Dungeon Crawler Carl, I highly recommend checking out Discount Dan. Very much feels like a spiritual successor, while still doing its own thing.

Full review over on my YT page!

I don't post on socials much but goddamn. Andor? Hello? The best writing and acting since the early seasons of GoT. The subtleties and nuance, the editing, the costumes/set design. Give this show all the Emmys.

You got a few! DCC takes the #1 spot for sure. From the ones you haven't read, there are a few other 'classics' - Defiance of the Fall and Path of Ascension. Heretical Fishing is a ton of fun.

For Cultivation Fantasy I really enjoyed the Stargazer's War. Was a fun take on the genre.

The more LitRPG I read the more I like less crunch with my systems, so I definitely skew way less than 50/50. Azarinth Healer is definitely the chunkiest I'd want to go these days, though I really did enjoy that series.

Give me science fantasy w/ some stats!

I too... Didn't love it. English isn't the author's first language and I really felt it over the course of the book. I'm sure the prose improves over the course of the series but there wasn't any part of it that really compelled me to keep reading.

It goes without saying. Don't buy courses on how to write books from people who have not written a single successful book.

It's 2025, don't fall for grifters.

I absolutely adore how the US Government's complete misunderstanding of TikTok forced a mass exodus of users onto Red Note and now they're all seeing the quality of life of people in China.

Like, grats, they're on a much more questionable app AND they get to see how blatant US propaganda is.

Been looking forward to finally doing one of these.

So some of you may not know but I actually have a YouTube channel where I review #Sci-Fi and #Fantasy novels!

Been on a huge #LitRPG and #ProgressionFantasy kick recently and reviewed To Flail Against Infinity, the first book in The Stargazer's War.

A cartoon of hands pouring liquid from a brown bottle and shaking seasonings from a brown canister into a copper pot full of milk. Text over the arms says "writers." The text over the bottle says "cool powers." The text over the canister says "trauma and personal baggage." The cartoon image being used for this meme is a scene from the classic Disney movie, The Aristocats.

It's a solid recipe.

I think it's 63 hours, but was moreso, a weekend of reading, which. Heck yeah.

I'll see you in 72 hours.

Surprise celebrity sighting today.

The fact that this was a series for children has always blown my mind. The abject body horror, war crimes. The yeerks in general. The 90s was a different time.

Every Saturday I don't start like this, feels wasted.

Still figuring out what I want to post on Bluesky, but if you're a fan of cute bookstores, restaurants and travel—I'll be documenting my adventures around SoCal!

I mean he has to be account sharing right? He's constantly photographed out at events with trump. This would take so much time.

Would 100% result in them being fired but would be amazing if someone at Blizzard support just *happened* to do an account check. Account sharing is against ToS...

Alright Bluesky, officially closing up shop on Twitter and going to be recommitting to actually using social media.

I'll be posting about:
Writing (working on self-publishing first novel)
Gaming/esports
Business/marketing side of the above
Sci-fi and Fantasy Books
Hobby/Wargaming

Glad to be here!
