This past week was slower reads:
-The Kaiju Preservation Society: in the height of COVID, Jamie Gray gets offered a job helping with field work, but turns out the field is an alternate dimension where Kaiju reign supreme. Great Speculative Fiction novel with a ton of witty writing (1/4)

This is definitely "Hot Reader Summer" since I got a ton of books read! My Storygraph says I've read 88 books for the year, with some non-fiction books finished recently! Currently I'm reading "Blood Bound" and "Summer's Never Over"

Fuck Alpha male ideology!
Boys, you want an intense love story and satisfaction in your love life?
THIS IS WHO YOU SHOULD EMULATE,
not losers like Andrew Tate or Testicular or whatever his name is...

If you are required BY LAW to send your child to PUBLIC SCHOOL then lunch should be FREE.
Yes, I am aware I will pay for it with my taxes.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.
Take the damn money and leave me alone.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Last month I finished The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook! Carl and Donut (alongside Doppelganger Katia) explore Floor 4 of the Dungeon Crawl! It's like Rush Hour of 5 megacities all smushed into one floor. Add on Monorails, Trolleys, Steam engines, and you have The Iron Tangle!

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:
Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files
Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

Mistborn and Stormlight Archive were picked up by Apple! Amazing!
And if I said once Mistborn Era 2 is made we should talk to Jared Keeso and Neil Ellice for Waxillium Ladrian and Wayne Terrisborn, would anyone else see the vision?

Recently finished the horror novella "What Moves the Dead" by T. Kingfisher. I'd heard good things about their writing and this was a wonderful start. As a Edgar Allen Poe fan I loved this re-imagining of "Fall of the House of Usher" as well as the character of Lieutenant Alex Eastman. #literature

First finished novel of 2026: Zomromcom! A supernatural romance where the FMC is plus-sized (and even then her shape is described pear-like rather than the "plus-size but curvy") and it's not something she gets shamed for.

Thanks to my local library I've been reading the #ACoTaR and 4th Wing romantasy series. #ACoMaF I like for exploring the answer to the hard question "Was it really love or trauma-bonding?" in the romantic triangle.

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms?
If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on:
1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player.
2. Click "Report Playback Issue".
3. Select this option.
Hopefully this will work!
