Now reading: Devolution by Max Brooks. Didn’t expect the author of World War Z to write a book about a Bigfoot attack but I can’t say I’m unhappy about it! Written in the same almost historical fiction firsthand account style Brooks tells an entertaining, and scary/gory, story with some fun takedowns of Silicon Valley types. You know the kind of people who want to live in the woods but when it comes down to it have no business being there? Yeah they die first in an emergency. I would say not for non horror fans. #amreading #amreadingscifi #amreadinghorror #readmore #bookstagram

Now reading: Anzio by Lloyd Clark. Like all white men approaching middle age I’ve always had an insane appetite for WWII knowledge. As many of us know, Italy was a largely forgotten campaign, being overshadowed by the invasion into Normandy (Rome was captured just two days before) so it was nice to get a little more perspective on the incredibly costly journey up the boot. Like anything world war 2 I am always fascinated by the missed opportunities, the lucky breaks, and the absolutely MASSIVE egos of the generals involved. In this books case mostly of Churchill and American general Mark Clark. The book does a great job of combining the bigger picture with the small visceral struggles of the frontline troopers. Great book about the invasion of Anzio, the attempt by the Germans to push the Allies off the beachhead and the eventual capture of Rome. #amreading #amreadingnonfiction #bookstagram #readmore

Now reading: American War by Omar El Akkad. This is a dark one. Reads like a historical fiction novel except it’s about the future: the second American civil war when portions of the south secede when the north bans fossil fuels. The story follows one woman’s life through the war and the aftermath. I was surprised the book didn’t show the divisions between the north and south as pertaining to things like race or religion but lumped everyone in as a us vs. them broad categorization. But the ultimate message of how war brutalizes people to the point of no return was powerful. The main character at one point says screw the north and screw the south. Trauma can twist people into beings that can only do one thing: hurt everyone else. #amreading #amreadingfiction #bookstagram #readmore

Now reading: This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At a glance this is a science fiction novel. In reality, it’s a book of poetry written between two soldiers facing off in a war across space, time, and universes. It’s a beautiful little novel, filled with more descriptions of love and emotion than I honestly thought possible in the English language. Not surprised that I picked up the book club edition as this kind of novel is made for that. #amreading #amreadingscifi #bookstagram #readmore

The dreaded, anticipated, elusive 80k. The unofficial beginning length for most novels. I have now put more words into book 2 than exist in book 1 and I still have several chapters to go. But it is a milestone and I want to recognize it and confirm that YES The Afters Book 2 will be coming in 2022. #amwriting #indieauthor #indiebooks #bookstagram

Now reading: Leviathan Falls by James S. A. Corey. At long last! Nine books later the conclusion of one of the best modern sci-fi epics out there and probably the best sci fi television show on tv at the moment. I’ve followed James Holden and crew for a long time and it’s always been a treat. While the series strayed a lot farther into “elder gods” territory and less on the geopolitical landscape of space travel, the ultimate moral shines through. Good people need to stand up for morality. Don’t want to reveal too much except, of fucking course James fucking Holden would do that. I can imagine Crisjen cursing him up and down for his pompous self of duty. But hey that’s why we love him right? #amreading #amreadingscifi #readmore #bookstagram #theexpanse
