Completed Giffy and the Sea People, The Drakenaarde Chronicles #4. Significantly builds out Giffy, secondary character now elevated to core. Backstory & reasons to love him. Action, danger, consequences. No plot armor! This book is bringing the heat! A fun, wholesome read. #fantasy #MiddleGrades

Now I've begun yet another epic fantasy series, and already nearly 10% in, this is taking off beautifully. I've finally jumped onto the writing of James Islington with book 1 of his Licanius Trilogy, The Shadow of What Was Lost. Loving it! #SFF #fantasy

Completed The Infinite Extent, Bobiverse bk 6. GREAT addition to the series, extending the narrative on a number of key elements, while giving fans more of what we love. Not perfect, but pretty darn good. Review soon. #bobiverse #SciFi #SFF

I like staying at AirBNBs for a number of reasons. One is the wifi tends to be better than hotels. Case in point: I recorded my newest episode (not released) in a hotel last night. Starting to edit, the image is frozen again, & again, & again. Re-recording in today's AirBNB...

I’m a patient person. Love good dialogue. Don’t need people to agree with me. But what I can’t stand is arrogance. Just blocked & muted 1st ever person from our YT channel. Condescending, only his opinion could possibly be right. He didn’t have opinion, just “facts.” Sigh. 😔 #ContentCreator #sff

Finished Empire of Silence, Sun Eater bk 1. Enthusiastically recommended since it came out. Found it a gripping sci-fi fantasy; eager to continue. The authorial voice is amazing. One of the best series starts I've read in awhile. Some find this hard to get into. Not my experience! #scifi #SunEater

I'm halfway through Empire of Silence, book one of The Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio. It's been FAR BETTER than I'd expected. Others had shared it was slow, too philosophical, one have to get through to enjoy what's too come. Poppycock! This book has been fantastic! #Suneater #Fantasy

Finished The Rising, by Brian Keene. It's tragic that it took me so long to discover this, one of the foundational novels/series of the zombie apocalypse. Really quite good, and even fresh it what it brought to the zombies. I'll be continuing the series! #zombies #horror #zombieapocalypse

Now moving on to my next audiobook, The Rising, by Brian Keene, one of the earlier and biggest novels ever in the zombie apocalypse subgenre... and somehow, I'd completely missed it. It is the first of a series, so I'm hopeful it will compel me to read more! #zombies #apocalypse

Finished Agent to the Stars, by John Scalzi. Fun take on alien first contact. Does the novel have much depth? Not really. Does it ring with authenticity? Actually, yes. Scalzi picks his premise, & stays true. Very "Scalzi." I would recommend this without reservation. #scifi #SFF
