I'm actively reading ten books within a general everyday time frame right now. I think that might be a new record for me.

Don't miss the recording of this when it gets released. So good and interesting.

For the evening crowd: Buy books. Also: comics are now being listed. At least 800 so far. I have so many...

Alright, folks. I'm ending the evening with another little reminder about my big book sale. I'm moving. My family is growing. And these books deserve new homes! There's a spreadsheet. 1800 books (SF/F/H, plus magazines, DVDs, etc.). Tell your friends. Share. Wee! shaunduke.net/2024/06/book...

My latest comics review is up at @skiffyandfanty.bsky.social! This month, I take a look at a new original graphic novel from author and artist Sage Coffey, WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL. It's a great book, and if I do say so myself, a pretty fun review, too. skiffyandfanty.com/blog/comics-...

The first book in this series was fantastic, I wish I had managed to spread the word on it better at its release. Don't miss out. And if you are an epic fantasy fan and haven't read Erin Evans' backlist of work, take the time to catch up.

Coming next week!

For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards. Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3

Congratulations, looking forward to these.
