A tiny little reminder about my book (and other things) sale.

Reducing the collection. Selling 1300+ books, 1800ish comics, some graphic novels, mags, and more. And I've shipped over 200 books thus far! :D

Lots of scifi and fantasy. Help me move. Help you with... #books ???

What it's like editing the video version of our show when the video's audio track doesn't line up with the higher quality Audacity track... Lots and lots of splitting and realigning throughout. For everyone but the host.

In my latest review for @skiffyandfanty.bsky.social , I write about Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi. "It’s an interesting work of alternate history in which a naive young girl has to grow up fast when she is abducted and installed in a foreign court as the intended bride of a warrior king. ..."

Really, we're pretty wide open for subject. We just want to talk to someone staying current in their field who can field questions from us about it (and its relevance to SF/F/H). It's educational, silly, and fun.

We had @reading1000lives.bsky.social on to talk microbio, and it was AWESOME!

And we're live on #Twitch with a brand new episode of Mining the Genre Asteroid.

We're discussing Jo Clayton's Diadem From the Stars (1977), the 1st of 9 novels in the Diadem Saga. It's space opera. It's adventure. It's dark!

Bring your mind and your friends!

Alright, folks. I'm ending the evening with another little reminder about my big book sale.

I'm moving. My family is growing. And these books deserve new homes!

There's a spreadsheet. 1800 books (SF/F/H, plus magazines, DVDs, etc.).

Tell your friends. Share. Wee!

A friendly note:

Starting in July (on July 5th), we'll be moving all of our livestreams to 7 PM Central. This is for several reasons, but the big one is that @shaunduke.bsky.social has been streaming at 7 for a long time, and this just makes things simpler.

June streams will be at 6:30 PM C, tho!
