Welcome. How about an epic, character-driven fantasy novel? It’s got all the fantasy goodness you want: action, adventure, immersive world, cool magic, dangerous monsters and gritty combat. It also has a dyslexic hero and characters with true emotional depth. Free on KU!

I'll take recommendations, too! It's so hard to find epic fantasy from the actual soldier's POV that I had to write my own. I'm no 'Forgotten Ruin'
(Anspach and Cole); more like a #WoT and Top Gun mashup) 😂

Last year I published the start of my epic fantasy series while on deployment. If a story about a group of soldiers deciding to end a war and pissing off their war god in the process... you'll love this. Magic, dragons, and winged main characters abound! a.co/d/i4QFkXr

This week's book Red Skies Under Red Seas - nowhere near as good as the first, and the plot seems to meander a bit. I think I will take a break from this series for next week and go to The Book that Wouldn't Burn that's been sat on my shelf for a while! #booksky #52bookchallenge

I said on the clock app that you should have to use your private pension up before you get a state pension and people DID NOT LIKE THAT! Is this controversial or good practice? #pension #benefits #labour #politics

Book 1/52 done; The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch...one of my favourite books with rich world building and characters, that keeps you guessing at every turn. Book 2 next Red Seas Under Red Skies, which I've always struggled with - let's see! #booksky #52bookchallenge #literature #reading

Is therapy actually worth it? I struggle opening up at the best of times and don't want to waste my money. I know I would have to get over my barriers that therapy is for the mentally unwell and that therapist are just con artists
