I usually don’t buy books from the *mazon site because I like to support my local bookshops, but my overlords just made me pre-order this new @scalzi book, and I think you should too! #StarterVillain #Scalzi #Bookstodon #BooksofMastodon

@Radical_EgoCom This sounds like the best #WritingPrompt for a #sciencefiction #novel I've seen in a very long time.
I won't be trying to write it but I'd love to read it. If anyone's already done it, I want to know.
If not, who's going to do it? #scalzi #charlesstross would be top of my list.

@kierkegaank sounds cool; get #Scalzi to write it, keep Ridley Scott at arms length, I'd watch it.

Giving away UK/IE kindle books is like pulling teeth from a tyrannosaurus. Here are still 2 UK/IE kindle copies of @scalzi (aka #scalzi)'s REDSHIRTS.

Maybe if I say there are free UK/IE #Scalzi books there?

Hello, Mastodon. Writing an #introduction is hard because I never know what to say. Some of my current ~~obsessions~~ interests are:

Games: #Warframe, #FireEmblem, Fantasy Flight #StarWars, #X4

FOSS: #Python, #Linux, #Selenium

Science fiction: #Murderbot, #Level7, #Scalzi, #GideonTheNinth

If any of these interest you, let me know and we can be interested together!

@KikiElara
It is a good series on my opinion. You might also like his Old Man's War series or standalone Redshirts.

A quick cheeky read that jumped in as a pause from my main book. Didn’t take long, but there are more in the series. First I’ve read by this author.

For my next Audible listen, I’m moving on to my second John Scalzi read, Redshirts. I’ve been interested in this one for a long time, nice to finally give it a try. #Redshirts #Scalzi

My recent trip back to England was a chance to pick up some English language reading material.
I think we can call that a successful trip!

"The Kaiju Preservation Society" John Scalzi

Forget Jurassic Park's dinosaurs. This is real!

Unable to pay rent, Jamie Gray accepts a job in a park that takes care of animals. Detail, the park is not on 'our' Earth. Meet Bella, she will make your skin crawl. She's a moody mom and she is Big. John Scalzi's ecosystem is mind boggling. Perfect combination of witty, slimy characters and intelligent sci-fi.

Happy reading,
Roger

As usual, Scalzi sums things up succinctly and accurately. https://www.businessinsider.com/a-congresswoman-cried-begging-colleagues-to-vote-against-a-same-sex-marriage-bill-2022-12 #scalzi #missouri #hartzler #bigot

Making use of our trip back the England to stock up on some English books. Today's purchase :

Finished book #3 of Scalzi's Dispatcher series, _Travel by Bullet_ on Audible.

It's kind of a private detective noir set into a world where people can no longer be murdered. They but they can die.

It's set in a covid is happening world and the bad guys and rich are betting big on crypto wallets. Fantastic and fast.

Book explains the concept of a Macguffin.

The actor Zachary Quinto nails the part. He is a dry wit, disapointed, & depressed sounding. Chefs kiss.

Clearly Elmo and the fanboys haven’t read #Scalzi because a robotic BrainPal, sorry, #Neuralink, is a pretty large attack vector to completely mess someone up. #tesla #twitter #birdsite #TwitterMigration

Big thank you shoutout today to #Scalzi for opening up his blog to other creators to plug their work! Lots of great books going up, including Jennie Goloboy’s OBVIOUSLY, ALIENS (Queen of Swords Press 2021) and Heather Rose Jones’s THE LANGUAGE OF ROSES (Queen of Swords Press 2022). LANGUAGE is also eligible in the #novella category for the #Nebulas and the #Hugos. https://whatever.scalzi.com/2022/11/28/whatever-holiday-gift-guide-2022-day-one-traditionally-published-books/#comments

Currently reading: The Last Colony by John Scalzi.

Scalzi is a really fun author to read; Sci-fi without being all stodgy about it.

Shout out to the Libby app; they give me books to read from the library on my phone 🤯
