Meet a child in Pokémon ZA, their quest is they want to prove their Pikachu is the strongest in the world. I get my alpha Pikachu, and train it up. I swap out the moves for ones that would be effective then release my monster juiced up Pikachu on this child. It’s 30 levels higher and 3x the size

"What do you mean" Well sometimes people ask me "So, do awards help with book sales?" and anyway, not universally. I definitely do NOT believe that I (or indeed any author!) am entitled to book sales. But I, uh. Can't live on mine. :)

If you don’t have a shop you know well enough, my friends are the owners of Station Books in Tunbridge Wells and they deserve every extra penny for being such good humans.

Some chapters in Where Darkness Gathers are really reminding me of Telmanes defence of Camelyn in Wheel of Time, and that was on of my favourite chapters in the entire series!

Like is too damn short - if I feel like a book is going to be a 3 star or below I am very likely to just DNF it. The two times since having the channel I have pushed through books I really didn't like I have regretted it as a massive waste of time!
Making my way through a mountain of video essays and specifically with the booktube/booktok reactions and reviews, it's just interesting to see people kind of lean in to a very toxic cycle of reading things they genuinely don't care about or like? So many booktubers do not like the books they rag on
