I finally added some Grim Oak Press books to my shelves! Valor might be my favorite cover of all time, it’s just so freaking epic. I’d display it face out if I wasn’t so scared of it falling over lmao

But these are my first non TBB/FL/IC type books and I’m so excited about them! I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger bc they’re definitely worth it for me. Unfortunately I now want to collect higher quality books and my bank account is like mmmm do you have to lmao

TBB just sent out an email to people who signed up for the T2 Riftwar saga leftover set waitlist. Waitlist has until June 15th at 11AM BST to place their orders before it goes to general sale which means general sale with start at that day/time for anyone who missed the waitlist if stock remains!

If you feel so moved lol, my code is GYMJEN and you can message me on ig jenreadsfantasy to enter my giveaway for a wishlist book and TBB gift card 🎉

My leftover T2 slightly damaged set from broken binding just came in and I’m sooo happy with it! The damage is so minimal, it’s basically non existant to me. So excited to have these on my shelf and so glad I survived the leftover sale bc it was brutal lmao Has anyone else taken advantage of their leftover sales before?

Saw someone post yesterday about when we’d see the artwork reveal for the last book so just wanted to post these from the email!

Just a heads up in case anyone was considering getting this!

I just got in my preorder of The Martian, idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I don’t like it 😭 I love the actual artwork on the dust jacket and the endpapers, but I hate the mirror shiny finish on the cover. I can freaking see myself in it LOL the neon orange hardcover isn’t making it better either lmao did anyone else get theirs yet? Am I the odd man out lol

I’ll put photos in the comments! But I needed the video to show how shiny this is lmao

Lonesome Dove is going on sale this weekend and I freaking loved this book so thought I’d share some sale info

Tier 1 subs: May 29th at 12pm BST, 35£
Tier 2, Sci Fi, SFF subs: May 30th at 12pm BST, 35£
Interest list sign ups: May 31st at 12pm BST, 35£
General: June 1st at 12pm BST, 35£
Shipping is estimated for August!

A few specs: gilded edges, sewn binding, acid free paper, 4 b+w interior illustrations, illustrated endpapers, new cover art

In case you’re curious about the book and haven’t read it, it’s a really great character driven western/historical fiction epic. My fingers are crossed they get enough interest to do the rest of the series 🙏🏼 but a lot of people end up reading LD as a standalone

I do have a code - GYMJEN - that you can use at checkout, this just supports me with TBB by letting them know I sent you but no pressure! Sage🐾 (swipe to last couple photos) would want you to tho, she’s the one asking LOL in all seriousness tho, no pressure and thank you to anyone who does use it! I have a giveaway going for anyone who uses my code on any TBB purchase so feel free to message me on ig jenreadsfantasy or find details in my TBB rep highlight. Drawing the first winner after the LD general sale! Thank you for reading if you made it this far lol

For more context some of the sprayed edge books on the black shelf are more Robin Hobb, Shogun and Tai Pan, more John Gwynne, Andrea Stewart, Sabaa Tahir, and Ryan Cahill

So excited to finally be starting my Malazan journey and actually participate in this subreddit instead of silently lurking on non spoiler posts LOL

Idk if I need luck bc I hear it’s both confusing but not confusing at the same time so I guess I’ll be finding out for myself as I go haha

Just wanted to share since I got the SFF sub book in the other week and I lovedddd it. The book was so good and I definitely appreciate the cover more once I understood it. This is my first blind sub box and it stresses me out to not know what it’ll look like lol idk if I’ll keep the sub bc I do have a hard time not knowing the design and I’m one of picky but I’m excited about this one!

TBB The Dragon’s Blade Trilogy review for sale weekend

Hi everyone! Since TBB is releasing their anniversary editions of The Dragon’s Blade trilogy this weekend, I thought I could leave my review in case anyone wanted more info on the books since this trilogy doesn’t seem to be as popular as Miller’s Ascendant series.

—

“Memory is the heaviest of all things. Even the strongest shoulders will be hunched by it in time. Nothing weighs upon us more, nor for longer, than memory.”

The Reborn King is the first book in The Dragon’s Blade trilogy and it is a solid debut with good characters, an interesting plot, and really good world building. I enjoyed most of the character work and relationships in this book, although I wasn’t a huge fan of the romance in here. It just felt a bit lackluster to me and I didn’t really feel like I was invested into the relationship. But there was a friendship in here that I was really invested in and I’m hoping to see more in the next book.

The world building is the star of the show and the strongest part of this book, I loved the world created and I’m definitely excited to learn more as I get into the second and third books.

The pace was on the slightly faster side and I think it worked well for this book as it’s mostly setting up the rest of the series. But the world building and plot were solid and I’m really interested in finding out where things are going to go from here. The writing style is on the simpler side and felt a bit choppy and abrupt in the beginning, but it did seem to get better in the second half. As this is a debut novel, I’m looking forward to seeing this aspect of his writing to improve as we move through the series and already seeing an improvement in book 1 makes me excited to continue! I also really like where the plot is heading, so overall a really solid debut novel.
