📘 Started reading the third and final tome in @mikeshackle.bsky.social’s ”The Last War” trilogy - “Until the Last”.
And it is a very thick brick of a book! 😳😮🫣

👹 “ancient, monster-infested underground ruins”!!! 🤗 There’s that sweet, sweet hook to reel me in on! 🎣
Hey, @tomlloydwrites.bsky.social, I was looking these up and see mention of “The Man With One Name” as a book 0.5. Where could/should I read that first?

👨✈️ One of my favourite bunch of unlikely crew members was Jezzet, Thanquil and the Black Thorn from “The Ties That Bind” series by @robjhayes.bsky.social.
Lewd, crude, and bad to the bone(r) 🤭 they ultimately did good!

📺 Ooo, I really liked episode 4 of “Blake’s 7” Series B - “Horizon”!
Lots of stuff going on, a single main plot line involving entire crew, and juicy shots of the Liberator.
Avon: “I’m not stupid. I’m not expendable. And I’m not going.” 😆
Again, zero recollection.

🔖 Finishing one book - Eric Brown’s “Helix” - means I need to handover the bookmark to my next pick.
Unfortunately time constraints mean I need to head off-TBR, as there’s an upcoming fixed deadline for a super-chonky tome I’d planned for December! 😳

📗 Hey, @solarisbooks.bsky.social, you republished Eric Brown’s “Helix” in 2023. Are you planning on reprinting book two, “Helix Wars”?
Just finished 📕, want to continue, 📗 appears widely OOP.
Should I wait for one matching 2023 edition or buy 2nd hand?
LMK!

🔖 Finished up reading Eric Brown’s “Helix”.
Had a great time with it (BDO 🙆♂️) though there’s a particular fanatical nutter that needed a proper kick up the arse!
Hendry also took a shine to another crew member who reminded him of someone, which was a bit 🥴

Here’s another oddity that I often notice. Threads with exactly 3 posts get the “show full thread” treatment even though there isn’t anything else to display.
Example below where I noticed it again and it offers a neat screenshot opportunity.

I just looked up the release years for Alanson’s “ExFor” series.
He started in 2016 and they were <300pg at first, so he was pumping out 3 each year.
Then around the current half-way point they abruptly grew to double the size, and are now twice a year, like yourself.
Here’s 📸 crop for scale.

📚 Another series that’s heading up into this stratosphere of depth will be @jcmberne.bsky.social “Hybrid Helix” series. 7 books currently published, an 8th coming soon, more on the way after that 🫢 (we’ve talked in the past on the planned length).

📚💬 I just got to wondering what the long running series - in terms of number of books - that I’m actively working on might be.
I’m 13 books into Craig Alanson’s “Expeditionary Force” series, and I was today years old when I discovered there’s a 19th book coming.

📖 I am currently reading “Helix” by Eric Brown - and we have just unlocked what the title means 🤯 so I am now all in 🤗 - but I *need* to get started on an absolute unit of a book with an early December reading deadline attached 😰
Look at that size disparity! 😳

📺 Just watched episode 3 from “Blake’s 7” Series B “Weapon” and that was all-round rather bizarre 😳
Clones, a self-proclaimed genius, folks that were ‘marked for death’, and quite a lot of flirting between Servalan and Carnell.
And, of course, yet again zero recollection!

My reading pace crashed this week as I’ve been busy with other deadlines and jobs. However, I’m mainly reading Eric Brown’s “Helix” while the other active 📚 I pick up intermittently.
