Jim is bringing his thoughts and reactions to you today on the novel Searching for Zen: A Tale of Divine Destiny, by Albert T. Franklin. This self-published novel has some definite strengths, and some unusual features. This episode is safe for those who have yet to read it, but also has enough meat to be of interest to those who have. Let us know what you think! #SearchingForZen #SFF #fantasy #Boo...

Jim is a fan of A.I., but obviously, it's not a perfect tool. In this episode we get to see the result of a request for fantasy recommendations for a new reader. Jim comments on (and evaluates) the recommendations. Interesting...

Jim takes advantage of his age and wisdom(?) to share the best of the best fantasy series that are more "classic" than the newer works that are coming out these days.

Zach is coming at you here with a spoiler-lite Book Blast episode, giving you his take on Fonda Lee's Green Bone Saga trilogy. Here's the only spoiler - He REALLY liked it. Come hear why. And trust us, as Jim hasn't read it yet, the plot will NOT be revealed or spoiled. You will just get a feel for the books. If you've already read them, come see if you agree with Zach. #greenbones...

Alternate realities. Parallel dimensions. So many options for authors and creative minds to play with, and we, the SFF fandom, get to enjoy. In this episode, Jim shares his Top 10 favorite such IP's, both books and other media. If you haven't read or watched some of these, they really should be adding to your list. #Top10 #SciFi #fantasy #paralleluniverses #SFF #booktube #booktuber We hope...

Jim & Zach share their first of the new format for these chapter breakdowns, where they will be moving through the rest of The Wheel of Time much faster than previous. They explain the shift at the beginning of the episode. Still plenty of discussion, exploring what's going on, but at a broader level. This remains spoiler-lite; nothing beyond Chapter 30 of Lord of Chaos is revealed. #WoT #...

Zach & Jim got together to collaboratively create this top 10 list, thinking of the best possible series they've read that included dragons.

Let's return to the epic Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. Jim is here to fully discuss and breakdown the third book of the series, which is also the first of the Harper Hall of Pern trilogy. Fantastic book, big shift from the previous two.

So many people are now enjoying Dune... the movies. But you know, there is a tremendous book series out there, which I've read, and inquiring minds want to know what it's all about. THIS episode is here to help, first sharing a spoiler-lite summary of the 14 core books of the primary narrative, and then going full spoiler on the plot of those same books. Although I refuse to share the fina...

Jim's bringing a Book Blast to you today, a spoiler-lite reaction to John Palladino's upcoming next edition to his grimdark fantasy series The Tragedy of Cedain. Technically though, this is a companion book, a collection of 11 short stories set in the same world as the core series, backstories on many familiar characters and additional building out of this grim world. Available for reading...

Jim recently completed viewing the first season of FX's 3 Body Problem, available on Netflix. He'd read the trilogy a few months ago in preparation. Was the effort worth it? Is the show any good?

The Witcher novels are a mixed bag, some great, some... well, it's complicated. In this episode Jim gets into it. This is actually still spoiler-lite, as Jim doesn't spend a lot of time in the plot. He's more discussing the structure and premises of the books. Oh, and he may go off about Netflix and Henry Cavill. Just a tad. #The Witcher #SFF #Witcher #fantasy #Booktube #Booktuber We h...

Jim reacts spoiler-lite to yet another novel by Roger Zelazny, one of his last books, and something that feels quite different from other Zelazny literature he'd read. Now, is that a good different, or a bad different. WAFO #ANightInTheLonesomeOctober #SFF #mystery #fantasy #Booktube #Booktuber #Halloween We hope you'll Like and Subscribe!

Now that we're fully into the swing on a new episode every day, we think we can justify giving ONE of those days to a simple weekly update, mentioning what we've been up to over the past seven days - books read, things watched, stuff done. Mostly these will feature Jim/Father, but we're sure we'll get Zach/Son in for some of them. We promise to entertain! #fantasy #SFF #scifi #week...

I'm bringing another Top 10 list to you today, thinking of my favorite supporting characters in fantasy stories (or fantasy-adjacent).
