Lots of new friends migrating over lately, so it's time for a reintroduction. Normally, people do these for their books, but I can do it for book services, right? www.dominishbooks.com

This is where I'd normally have a video wrapping up last month's reading, but my filming is out of commission for a week or so. I had a good month though, and you can hear more about it hopefully next week! How was your October in books?

Recommend some fantasy or sci-fi for me to look at as I put together my 2026 reading plan. I'm looking for standalones or first books in a series and I'll take a look at every rec, and add the ones I like the look of to my plan or my extended TBR.

Dear Microsoft Word,
I get that she might not always be able to find and retrieve it again, but trust me, when I say my character "looses an arrow", no, I do not mean that she "loses an arrow"!
Yours sincerely,
Dom

I chatted with one of my heroes at World FantasyCon in Brighton this weekend. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social, you're an absolutely lovely guy and I'm glad I finally got to meet you.
My daughter was jealous that I'd met Grumpy from Once Upon a Time until I told her who you are though!😅

I'm back in my quest to find my favourite decade of fantasy books. Today, I'm looking at the 2020s so far—and only having 5 years to pull from doesn't disadvantage this one at all!

What are your favourites, and how will this decade fare against the others?

It's taking me a while to get through these because they are both big, intense books, but my word, they are both incredible. I'm having such a good time with my reading right now. Have you read either of these, or the first books in their respective series?

How did your reading go last month? Mine was pretty good overall, even if I had a DNF and a series I've decided not to continue with. At least there's a book of the year contender to balance those out! Check out my thoughts here:

Tides of Torment is out in November, and it's a belter. If you haven't read the Sea of Souls Saga, now's the time to check it out and see why I recommend this trilogy so highly.
