Throwback Thursday – Meeting John Scalzi
A year ago today, award winning author John Scalzi came to Medina and did a Q&A at our local library. Afterwards, he was gracious enough to do a book signing. As I had recently purchased Starter Villain, which was his latest book at the time, so I now have a signed copy!
These past couple years, I’ve gotten back into #fiction reading. Mostly #scifi and #fantasy, of course. For a precious few minutes a day, entire worlds are opened up to me. I can’t describe how wonderful it’s been.
Now reading: #Oathbringer (Sanderson) and #RedRising (Brown).
On deck: #ShatteredEarth (Tchaikovsky), #StarterVillain (Scalzi) and #HailMary (Weir).

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of STARTER VILLAIN, by @scalzi.com, which I lump together with Kaiju Preservation Society; I assume the upcoming cheesey book will be part of it as well. It's a fun, silly book that I enjoyed a lot. #KindleBookGiveaway
I Met John Scalzi!!!
Author John Scalzi came to the Medina County District Library tonight to present his master class on sustainable super villainy and his best selling manual, Starter Villain.
Scalzi Written, Tyrion ApprovedIt was an entertaining and captivating hour hearing John answer questions and tell series about his writing, both what he’s written and the process itself.
I’m actually distracted by the backdrop for our selfie.I’m looking forward to John’s next book coming out in 2025, When The Moon Hits Your Eye, as well as the seventh installment in the Old Man’s War series later next year.
Tyrion still thinks it’s a manual.#Books #JohnScalzi #MedinaCountyDistrictLibrary #OldManSWar #StarterVillain #WhenTheMoonHitsYourEye

Cached UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 5 copies of @scalzi.com's STARTER VILLAIN, a cute little story that reminded me a lot of THE FRESHMAN, although it is hard for a pair of cats to be cuter than a water monitor acting as a komodo dragon. #KindleBookGiveaway #UKKindleBookGiveaway
