Just got back into gaming and so couldn't wait to see the new Fallout series on Amazon Prime - early teasers really piqued my interest. I finished watching it last week, and here's my 'Review of Sorts' >>> https://www.modquokka.com/single-post/fallout-2024-a-review-of-sorts-no-spoilers

Following the '20 Influential Books on You' game on Threads...
My fourth and final post about the books that influenced me, this time in that stage of life as a 'Crazed and Grumpy Old Man' >>> https://modquokka.com/single-post/influential-books-on-me-part-4-as-a-crazed-and-grumpy-old-man
These last five were all after me having suffered a number of breakdowns in my mid-40s.
If you're a reader, do the game. And if a writer, how have books influenced you. Interesting self-reflection.

These are the five I chose that have influenced me as a crazed and grumpy old man. First couple may be a bit of a surprise. Last two, perhaps less so.
In case you missed Monday...

'Influential Books on Me (Part 3)' sees those reads that had a bearing on me as an anarchic young man in the 80/90s.
Fuck Rules.
Break Boundaries.
Do What You Want.
In writing - I hasten to add - not necessarily all the time...
Y' know, be nice and never kick down.

The Red Dragon Insider landed in my email today and this was a nice surprise...
Nightjar was the author S.C. Eston's favourite book of 2023 😊
So if you fancy something a bit different, a bit wyrd in a Celtic folkloric sort of way, its free on KU and also available to buy on Amazon >> https://mybook.to/Nightjar

YAY.

Door open.
Spring is here!
At least it feels like a spring day today;
It's been a long winter this year and last week I wrote a blog celebrating the coming of the season. Feels appropriate to share today
