2025 in books: I didn't read as much this year as I planned (partly due to our new small human). Again the list is pretty much dominated with sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.
Definitely gravitated towards collections of short stories, although Varney the Vampire more than redressed the balance!

An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.
But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?
Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

Fun little project: took receipt of a set of custom dice made by @epoxy-alchemist.bsky.social, based on a vintage Huntley & Palmers Breakfast Biscuits tin. Each die contains a miniature biscuit! Also pictured, two 3D printed 'D2' biscuits.

Just published a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, which features my first ever short story in print (Ex Libris)! It was great collaborating with so many creative minds on this. If you want a collection of 60+ tomes of forbidden lore for your game, check it out!

One of the best parts of coordinating a joint project for publication is seeing how creative everyone is. One of the other best parts is mocking up book covers for tomes that shouldn't exist!
