FINALLY! I have finished the Heat 2 book by Michael Mann and Meg Gardiner. The book reads like a script for a film turned into a book - it lacks depth and there is a lot of repetitive language. It was nice to see Neil and Vincent Hanna again. The Chris chapters were a slog though. The audiobook is ace - the guy has a grizzly/gravelly voice. Loved the audiobook. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity #readers

I wrote a cute little story for young children with a few pictures. It's not publishing-quality, but it's cute, so I'm offering it for free to entertain the kiddies, and hopefully, adults will like it too. If you're interested, I'm emailing a pdf of the story to anyone who contacts me through my website. Just go to my website and choose Contact at the top. Then send me a note asking for the free story. It's easy, peasy. Hey, if you like free stuff, today's the day. Parents, if you want a new story for your youngsters, here it is. Enjoy! #story #storytelling #childrensbooks #children #animal #animals #mastodon #books #bookstodon #booksky #writing #writers #writersCoffeeClub #saturday #scribesAndMakers #writer #stories

Just finished reading The Voice of Saruman chapter in LOTR The Two Towers.

I genuinely loved that chapter. Like, Saruman is clearly evil, but there was things he said where I audibly laughed:

“Will I come down?” he mocked. “Does an unarmed man come down to speak with robbers out of doors?”

Like, that felt like a very visceral real conversation between two old friends. Absolutely love the writing.

A quick/rushed blog post before I'm off to different kinds of work. I look at two bundles which currently feature my work and note one or more things about each. "The Bundles of March, Pt. 1" https://dylanmadeley.com/the-bundles-of-march-pt-1/ #WritingCommunity #BookSky #bundles #Itchio #blog

Check out my Waterstones haul! (Forgot to use my Waterstones card, so I didn't manage to collect the £10 I could've got from all these books 😭). I also need to expand my romance and thriller book collection... Fun fact - I now need a new bookshelf to fit all my books... #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity

Reading The Two Towers after watching the extended edition. I have to say I'm enjoying LOTR so much now that I have some mental context for the characters in the book. I actually understand what is going on now! (I got a bit lost in Book 2 of Fellowship of the Rings, and coincidentally I forgot the second half of the extended version...) #lordoftherings #lotr #book #books #booksky #bookstodon

I've finished The Color Purple by Alice Walker. It was a pretty slow read for me due to how utterly devastating the events are in the book. Maybe I've just realised I kind of want an easier read or maybe it is down to other factors, but I found The Color Purple to be challenging. Still, it has a beautiful ending where everything resolves in a way that feels like a warm hug after the initial hits to the soul. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity

Out next week from Whiskey Tit is David Scott Hay's THE BUTCHER OF NAZARETH. Tony says it "...bursts to life beautifully and bloodily in the final quarter, where this very literary novel more than earns its horror stripes." #booksky #amreading #horror https://www.horrordna.com/books/the-butcher-of-nazareth-david-scott-hay-book-review

In his review of GRACE, Tony says, "It is incredibly easy to immerse yourself into an A.M. Shine story and the beautiful manner in which he crafts sentences and brings the Irish landscape vividly to life." #booksky #amreading #horror https://www.horrordna.com/books/grace-a-m-shine-book-review

Just finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. All I got to say is WOW. I absolutely *loved* this book! It was a bit hard to get into at first, but after a few chapters in I was HOOKED. I loved the fantasy elements, I loved the characters, I loved the world. Just brill! #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity

I've made it 65% of the way through Mistborn, and I'm honestly loving it. It's incredibly accessible while having pretty deep lore. The characters are diverse and aren't stereotypical cliches straight from fantasy. Women aren't written like their chest size is their entire personality. The plot is a bit like Oceans 11 with added metals and magic. I absolutely love it. Can't wait to finish it. #books #book #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity #Mistborn #BrandonSanderson

Read Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. I absolutely loved it, it was a hell of a wild ride. The twists absolutely got me along the way, did not expect any of it. May re-read it again in the future. #books #book #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity
