I’ve started reading Mattimeo and only about a third of the way in, but this one might just turn out to be the best Redwall Book so far. Love the first two books a lot but there’s just something about this one that hits different man. #redwall #booksky #books

This is so true for plays as well. I’m glad both me and Aristophanes understand toilet humor. Some things really are timeless…

Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, passed away today. Why do I keep waking up to the news that an eighty-something year old passed away three days in a row 😭

This is why I can’t read poetry. Every time my hands try to turn the page my hands are like an imp trying to touch the bible

I’m reading through Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself, about 300-ish pages in. This guy can write really interesting compelling characters my goodness his prose makes all of them so unique to read from each other it’s great #booksky

I mean i get what you’re saying, but the list is literally an “of all time” list. There are a few hundred years of novels before the 70s, and we tend to remember and preserve the best stuff that came out of those periods.

Don’t worry. Can confirm. I met the big JC in a New York alley once and he signed it!

I've read a pretty, pretty, good book this time around. On this episode of One Man's Book Trash I go over Curb Your Enthusiasm The Book, and what exactly it is. #booksky #curbyourenthusiasm youtu.be/wO4FkI4s-O8?...

if only there was some way… to listen to books being read… But honestly I think TTRPG actual-play podcasts are kind of like the modern radio play. Certainly not the same, though.

like current world politics? usually not intentionally but subconsciously it might find its way in. Depends on how relevant politics are to the themes/plot of the story. Like if I’m writing about a king, how could i NOT explore monarchy as a system? #WritingCommunity

I’m sorry Mr. Scalzi but this is actually the RIGHT answer

I feel like they're confusing "Prologue" and "Epilogue" with things like "Preface" and "Appendix." Like I feel the the latter is usually the author or another writer either writing about the book or a glossary of fantasy terms. But the former is LITERALLY part of the story. #booksky #writing

Yes! I also found that the high mercury concentration in fish is mostly due to industrialization. So thankfully I didn't have to worry about that too much in my pre-industrial fantasy world. 😅(Plus, the MC has high resistance to toxins and poisons)

It’s a lot of what abilities does X animal have and what do they taste like. This is how I learned sharks have a lot of urea inside them. So they taste a little like… urine.

In fantasy, it’s all about the magic. Introducing something extraordinary that makes us reassess how the mundane works.

I wrote a fantasy heist novel inspired by the tarot, and now it's out on kindle RIGHT NOW!!! It follows gentleman thief Kellen the Fool, hatching a plan to steal from the King of Magicians. #booksky #fantasy a.co/d/092NEiky

I think the people of Tarmonde would see it as a heretical creation against the teachings of the Saints, and the powers that be would want it and its creator destroyed.

Cover Art reveal! My first book, "The Magician's Rule," is coming out soon! Here's the cover, made by yours truly! Since the series is based on the tarot, I wanted to try and replicate the playing card look of the original Rider-Waite and Marseilles decks. #booksky #writer #books

I love secondhand books so much! There's always going to be something surprising about them (especially if the previous owner annotated it)!

This is why no one can understand an audiobook at other than 1x speed. On an unrelated note I have now finished the entire Stormlight Archive in one hour!!!
