Howdy there! I am going to be regularly reviewing indie books through 2025. DM me if you would like your book considered. I prefer to read fantasy but am open to other genres.

Upcoming reviews: Grieving Gold by McDaniel, The Wishmaker by Sofianiuc

Our 2025 pumpkin entries. I always have a "it's ok mine isn't movie quality" stance when it comes to carving, but I'm pretty proud of my lil creepy face and was impressed with my partner's MegaMan.
A creepy smiling carved pumpkin sits on steps, staring at children that would like candy on their level. Up higher, a pumpkin with a MegaMan life sits, greeting the children's middle aged parents. It's a real something-for-everyone-house.

Behold, my wonky ears in their misshapen glory!

I learned a few things about growing corn this year with my most important takeaway being that my neighborhood's NIMBY tendencies don't extend to my front yard garden.

Being able to eat food again after 4 months on a super restricted diet is such a wild experience. Everything is spicy. Things I've never found spicy are spicy. Chiles, sure, but paprika? What is this? I've never been so pre-sliced white bread American before and it's terrible.

I dipped out from social media for the last few months while on a personal quest to throw my gallbladder into a proverbial Mt. Doom. Like Frodo, I too forgot what food tasted like, dropped an insane amount of weight, and got mean.

Tears of Eternity: Remembrance updates coming soon!
I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, or the touch of grass.

My dad sent me a video where someone reviews stand mixers and they were complaining about the app one of them had.

Watched Strange Darling the other day. A lot of fun with some great performances. But man, I am not a fan of stories that are told out of order to either confuse the audience or hide the twist for a smidge longer.

Not that I didn't enjoy it, I did, but I would have preferred chronological order.

sometimes my tv sends a push notification to my phone that i need to download a software update and it makes me want to strip naked and walk into the forest never to be seen again. this would push me over the edge.

I love these sunny days when I'm able to just sit outside and...Oh. Wait. Nope. Here comes the boy.

Please note he is not my kitty, but reading outdoors does summon him.

Finished Written on the Dark. Still processing my reaction. Beautiful & bittersweet.

The season's first strawbs and a very jealous dog.

She got three.

And ate two before I could pick them.

She's doing just fine in this strawb economy.
A jealous dog stares at a handful of ripe strawberries. She ate what she thought was ripe already and is now confused how the human found more.

If there is a kitty within 100ft of me when I try to read, it will interrupt my progress. It's just science. This isn't even my cat.

Heroes Die is a fantastic read. This Matt Stover guy should write a political thriller space opera or something.

Yesterday when I delivered a stack of Tears of Eternity to my local bookstore, the person behind the counter recognized me and said, "Oh, thank god you're here--now I can take my copy home!"

Oh, my heart. I assume this is what it feels like to have a cute infant.

Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay is the very definition of what I mean when I say I want a book to ruin my life. I would read a passage, then close the book and stare stupidly in the distance, reliving generational trauma. Perfect way to spend a day reading.

Well, I certainly thought I was allowed to read today, but Lady Maggie has a zero tolerance policy to distracted petting.

Reading update: Tigana is my first Guy Gavriel Kay experience and I am loving it so far.

Does getting misgendered in reviews mean people are reading my book as Fantasy and not Romantasy? 🤔

Not that I'm complaining, I'll gladly be called a wizard any day.
🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ 🪐📚💙
5-Star Amazon Review reading, "Tears of Eternity: Foresight" is an extremely well written epic fantasy that intertwines the destinies of the four main characters. The author is a wizard himself, immersing the readers into this captivating world. The story illustrates how resilience combined with magic pays off in the end. Excellent book." The phrase "The author is a wizard himself" is highlighted. Underneath, Normon Osborne wears a poorly photoshopped wizard hat, saying "You know, I'm something of a wizard myself."

What are your thoughts on reading outside?

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?

Both. It's both.
