This morning I started my journey reading @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social I love that first moment of entry into a writer’s universe. Always chasing the high I got from Martin and Abercrombie. Two chapters into Malice. My god. Exquisite.

Definitely Gene Wolf. GRRM spoke so eloquently on him at Oxford this year. Seems like a true legend of the game.

I started a YouTube channel this year to learn video editing and share my love for books 📚 By year’s end, I’ve made 10 videos with 191 views combined. Might not seem like a lot, but I’m deeply proud of every single view, and can’t wait to create more videos in 2025. Happy New Year when it comes! 🥳

Happy birthday to his August fucking majesty @joeabercrombie.com Started a review channel in August this year and of the 10 videos published, almost half the views come from a video about the big man. STILL a fresh voice in this goddamn genre! The video for context: youtu.be/kutM44D7EzU?...

Often interested in how much England and Japan have in common, the funniest being both committed large imperial atrocities and yet now known for their politeness. I think Japan wins when it comes to spooky sayings. 地獄の沙汰も金次第

Meant to post this on release day, but I have been rather ill. Anyway, if you fancy listening to your ol' pal Jimmy talk about a new book he loved (and can ignore his withering voice) then ROLL UP ROLL UP! Blood Brothers Beyond by @robjhayes.bsky.social youtu.be/AIN07p8_BW8

I love the iPhone “Year in Review”: Beautiful holiday photos mixed with countless door lock pics—just a little OCD flair.

Brrr, chilly one out there. Cancel those plans, ruddy-cheeked reader, it's time to coorie down somewhere warm and start a new book! You should try "Against All Gods" by @phokion.bsky.social - I made a silly wee video explaining why.

Yeah for sure. It can take some time before you’re fully invested, but very few have captured the tribalist Brits like Scott did. There are aspects of fantasy to it also, which was unexpected but welcome.

This looks great! Have you ever read the Boudicca fiction series by Manda Scott?
