Just finished The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take a drink every time he says “thought-cage”. Great action sequences and a magic system akin to an adult, Norse version of Percy Jackson. My main complaint, not a ton of character growth. 3.5/5 📚💙🪐 #booksky

As Bezos/Amazon continue to show their ass, here’s a reminder that you can purchase your physical and ebooks on bookshop.org And their app is an ereader too. Libro.fm has a subscription service just like Audible. Purchases also support local bookstores. Highly recommend. #booksky 📚💙🪐

Armed with swordfish and the sigil of a lionfish painted on their shields, the penguins hopped on the log, and floated down a river to war. They did not ask for this conflict, nor did they desire it, however they would sow destruction on those who would tariff their home.

Finished book 10 of the year. Calamity by Brandon Sanderson. Ending of the Reckoners trilogy. Thoroughly enjoyed, but I wish the ending had been drawn out a bit more. 4 stars. Next book: The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan 🪐💙📚

I decided I was not going to watch any of that shitshow tonight. Instead, the first two episodes of the new Daredevil series dropped. Go watch it, it’s fantastic.

Been a while since I’ve posted. January through March is my least favorite time of year to be a teacher.

Book 2 of 2025 is officially finished. A Court of Mist and Fury by SJM. My hot take, I actually liked the first book better. I think I’ll read a few other books from other series before I move on to book 3 #booksky

I’ve been doing my re-read of the Stormlight Archive on my way to work as an audiobook for the past several months. I’ve got about half of Rhythm of War left. That means in the next day and a half, I need to listen to roughly 600 pages of material to be ready for Wind and Truth on Thursday.

I’m trying out this new area hoping to create something way more positive than can be found on the Other Place. I’d love to find some folks to interact with!
