I started a YouTube channel this year to learn video editing and share my love for books 📚
By year’s end, I’ve made 10 videos with 191 views combined. Might not seem like a lot, but I’m deeply proud of every single view, and can’t wait to create more videos in 2025.
Happy New Year when it comes! 🥳

Happy birthday to his August fucking majesty @joeabercrombie.com
Started a review channel in August this year and of the 10 videos published, almost half the views come from a video about the big man.
STILL a fresh voice in this goddamn genre!

Meant to post this on release day, but I have been rather ill.
Anyway, if you fancy listening to your ol' pal Jimmy talk about a new book he loved (and can ignore his withering voice) then ROLL UP ROLL UP!

I love the iPhone “Year in Review”: Beautiful holiday photos mixed with countless door lock pics—just a little OCD flair.

Cancel those plans, ruddy-cheeked reader, it's time to coorie down somewhere warm and start a new book!
You should try "Against All Gods" by @phokion.bsky.social - I made a silly wee video explaining why.

The Terminator 2 effect?
Sometimes a sequel just hits different. A book 2 that just slaps from the get-go.
Here are a few that I can still recall that acute feeling on first read, the feeling that the writer was finally cooking!
Happy Saturday :)

Writers - is there an acting performance that inspired a character in your book? Maybe the actor is headcanon for a dream adaption of your book?
This one always gets me. Damian Lewis, Shakespeare, Julius Caesar.
Sublime. Each time, sublime.

A nice wee bit of art I got at the book launch of Bitter Crown by @authorjla.bsky.social a while back.

Been mulling over some of my favourite sentences from Against All Gods, @phokion.bsky.social
Lots of references to cats in my highlights - this book really has it all.
FAO: anyone who likes their gods Greek, this book is for you.
