Rogue Heroes S2 by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) re the SAS’s role in WWII is driven by the main soldier’s grief over his dead comrade/love & how mad it makes him & it is SO GOOD y’all. Jack O’Connell is perfect 😭🩵😭 Knight 100% put a gay storyline on main in a milieu where it’s usually erased.

So excited for this (especially after recently reading and enjoying the previous book in the series!).

It PAINS me when the dragons are hurt or killed in House of the Dragon. I couldn’t care less about the humans 👀 (Finally watching S2) 😭

Still ongoing! And the audiobook for Book 2 The Desert Talon is also available (different narrator, wonderfully read).

Incidentally, since almost all the physical books from major publishers in the US are printed in China, that probably just increased the price by 50%, which massively lowers sales and means publishers will do much smaller print runs.

NEED. This was one of the first (of many) memoirs I read before I was published that heavily impacted my desire to write Warchild. I’d picked up a mass market copy of it, second hand, I believe from my uni’s book fair. I might have to shell out for this. www.foliosociety.com/usa/dispatch...

Wow. Over 1000 following! Thank you! I think with so many new people I should just share my whole 1st chapter of The Invisible Sun again. This is a story about bad people realizing they're bad, trying to untangle how that happened and how to make it right. And spaceships. #indiecomics #scifi

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”. I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.

Why doesn’t this movie have Canadian distribution? It was filmed in Vancouver and showed at TIFF. You mean to tell me they couldn’t find a distributer?

My latest newsletter is about queer art and rising up against fascism. And why we need queer art that tells respectability politics to go fuck itself. (And a few noodly thoughts about how this can go pretty wrong if we're not careful.) buttondown.com/charliejane/...

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE DESERT TALON by Karin Lowachee. The second book in a queer novella trilogy of frontier dragon-riding, dark magic, & the bonds of family, I loved it EVEN MORE than book 1! Our drink, Tourmaline, is a golden mocktail of smoky depth.

No, stories don’t have to have constant rising action or whatever. Readers can take a breath.

I have a story in New Suns 2 too 😁 And of course there’s my wee novella about a boy and his dragon… (and a capitalist resource scouring villain) 👀

Watching ‘71, a movie about the Irish Troubles (starring Jack O’Connell). WTH couldn’t the English just leave these people to their own country? (I mean, I know why but geez). Seriously can’t blame them for not gaf when the queen died.
