I’m now torn between three options for my next read. Bone Shard Daughter, Foxglove King or Gods of the WyrdWood…. Last read was Sunrise on the Reaping, which followed Bloodsworn Saga.

Feels like I’ve not heard of many new and upcoming books. So what is on your radar? What are you hyped for in the coming months?

I’ve had a rough patch recently. And it absolutely shattered my reading focus. But I finished Fury of the Gods, a book I was enjoying when focus allowed. Definitely looking forward to John Gwynne’s next work.

Just realized I’m very close to 100 posts with FanFiAddict!! Which begs the question, what should my 100th post be??👀 Another review, an essay on something I could rant about for days, or a fun list of some kind?🤔

I explored how historical judicial proceedings might change in a culture that views trial-by-combat as a sacred tradition, leading to concepts like sentencing and debtor’s duels. ⚔️ #FridayVibes #Questions

I wasn’t sure what to expect when re-reading the second Greatcoats book. I remember it being much darker than Traitor’s Blade, but I’d forgotten how wonderful it was to write Brasti’s personal journey from roguish braggart to . . . well, slightly more heroic braggart. #currentlyreading

Sometimes you hit a voice and it is just good to write. "Some of them I’d served with had named their swords and become attached to them, but I never did. It was tool, not a friend. It only fulfilled its purpose when covered in blood and who needs a friend like that."

So far it’s been going ok, although I’d say I’ve lost maybe 30% of the story to lapses in concentration, moving about or random noises just managing to overwhelm my audio.

Hungarian swords linked to the Order of the Dragon are straight, double-edged arming or early longswords with heraldic motifs. Nobles loyal to Sigismund of Luxembourg likely used them against Ottoman forces, with the dragon emblem symbolizing militant Christianity. #SwordFact 🗡️

Not so book related news, but a Men’s Shed local to me has a forge. So I’ve tried my hand at it, with some guidance from folk there, but mostly my own devices. It needs a handle but I’m proud of what I’ve done for a first time forging. It’s going to be a wedding cake cutter.

I'm just saying that you can ban under 18s from social media but maybe if your algorithm chooses what people see then it makes you a publisher and you should become legally responsible for what you publish. No biggie.
