SHAMEless self-promotion

Hey, guys! I've started a YouTube channel where I intend to do verbal reviews and occasional analysis of books, graphic novels, and films. I'm also planning for some library advocacy and maybe some behind-the-scenes peeks at working in a library. I would appreciate it so much if you'd check it out and give me a follow over there.

I've also opened a Patreon for the channel and this blog, mostly focused on breaking even with equipment upgrades and book rentals. Patrons will have access to a private Discord server as well as patron-only updates, videos, and other goodies. I deeply appreciate anything you might be able to toss my way.

Thanks so much for reading!

Book Spazzing: Dayworld

This is one of my current review copy reads. I was planning on just doing a 10-minute review, skim it and recommend it.

I'm 36% of the way through and I can't put it down. OMG, I'm so excited about this book. It's a throw-back to the paranoia of Philip K. Dick and the forward-looking science of Isaac Asimov. It's balanced in pace and Farmer is the MASTER of cliff-hanger chapters that make you need to turn the page and keep going. I stayed in the tub reading it for TWO HOURS last night because I kept saying, "Well, just to the end of this chapter, then I'll get out." The water was cold and I still kept reading.

I'm not even done with the book and I want to tell everyone I know, "Read this. Don't wait." Except that you have to. It's not released yet. So you have to (unless you have access to Netgalley). I don't rave about books very often, especially if I'm not already familiar with the author (see my forthcoming review of Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon) but I am raving about this.
