Fantasy Book Nerd
@fantasybooknerd.bsky.social
From out of the depths of the blogosphere came a mighty whimper, a being of total incompetence. With his mighty powers of making it up as he goes along comes Fantasy Book Nerd. A being of less than average qualities who reads books and talks shite!

Different series I think! It has some of the same characters. Particularly Renee Montoya before she becomes The Question. This is the one I was talking about. It’s really quite a gritty noirish police procedural and has Mr Freeze in the first book.

Ok! It’s decided. One of the books I have just read is following Womble’s @runalongwomble.bsky.social The 2026 BookTempter’s TBR Challenge. For my next read I am going for the stretch read. Whilst this book is technically shy by just a week or so, it’s is a book I have been meaning to read for 5yrs

First lot of finished books for this year. I finally got around to reading some Gemma Amor! All in all generally quite good, although I did have mixed feelings about one of them.

If you like instrumental music Tides from Nebula are a fantastic band. Full of grand sweeping riffs their songs are engrossing in both their complexity and simpleness. Their last studio album, Instant Rewards is a fantastic album and a great place to start.

One of the books I am flicking through is this one. I am loving looking at the fantastic pictures and anecdotal stories of the films, the people and the industry.

I always join in those ‘post a film that you have seen more than xxx amount of times’. I will generally put something in that I have seen but never put this down, which I have seen goodness knows how many times.

Might have got a little bit tempted by this one. Not my usual bag of mashing but I like to step outside now and again!

Latest read is the arc for Grace by A.M. Shine which is out sometime next year (I can’t exactly recall the date without looking). I have loved all of A. M. Shine’s books so far and can’t wait to see what this one has in store.

Listened to the new remaster of Dawnrazor by Fields of the Nephilim today and it still sounds as good as it did in 1987. One of the things most notable though is that all 14 tracks are on, which kind of makes it complete.

Did I just buy The End of Gods by @markstay.bsky.social. Of course I bloody well did coz I have been looking forward to this one all year. The End of Gods is available directly from the website Mark Stay Writes, as is the rest of the trilogy.
