Finished Mushroom Blues (The Hofmann Report Book 1): It ended better than I anticipated. I'm always here for a good story, and that's what I got. It's not a perfect read, but it's got some great qualities, and is worth the experience. Review soon! #SFF #fantasy #selfpublished

Mushroom Blues (Hofmann Report #1), 84%: Oddly enough, this bizarre little novel has grown on me. (If you've read that, you'll catch what I did there.) Pushing on toward the finale, and pushing really isn't necessary. I want to know what happens! #SFF

Swan Song, 41%: Reading this book as it is dystopian apocalyptic writing, usually my jam. It's going okay. But that said, it feels weak. Too many characters are just shallow caricatures. Depth is lacking. Interesting story, but not great yet. Continuing... #dystopian #SFF

As BookTubers, we gain subs, we lose subs. New subs come from episodes. Unsubs occur at random, usually someone purging subs. Today, 1 person dropped us due to my positive review of the novel Final Girls. What? A Final Girls hater, furious I liked it? What the heck? 🤪 #BookTube

Watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. At risk of sacrilege: I felt the film not only captured the essence of Mary Shelley's incredible novel, but IMPROVED upon it. The ending was superb, spectacular, moving! Exceptional cinematography, stellar performances. #Frankenstein
