#spellmonger — Public Fediverse posts

In April 2026, I finished reading 8 books. I'm now caught up on the #DungeonCrawlerCarl series and awaiting the next book on May 12. And still making progress on #Spellmonger. I didn't realize just how many books there would be when I started (19 and counting!? plus several anthologies and two side trilogies). My roomie opted to read the trilogies in story order, but I'm skipping the side quests for now. I want to know what happens!

My #nonfiction selection for April was the audiobook version of Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick. I needed something lighter, and that fit the bill. I added a couple of her movies I haven't seen to my watch list. And I think I'll watch Into The Woods again. Boy, do I hate Annie, though.

I finished 9 books in March 2026. Still enjoying and making progress on the #Spellmonger and #DungeonCrawlerCarl series. Both have a lot of books, and they're on the longer side. My roomie is also listening to the Spellmonger books and had spoiled a few minor things for me when they were ahead. I have now passed them by roughly two books, to my estimation. 🎉

My #nonfiction book this month was James Nestor's Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which I listened to sped up. It was fascinating and kind of blew my mind a little bit. I highly recommend it, especially for anyone suffering from sleep apnea and/or crooked teeth. (CW: medical procedures, animal testing, and a passing mention of cannibalism.)

Plus: the new book #Seamage in the #Spellmonger series is out.

However, I'm only 20% in and already wish the series. would. finally. invest. in. professional. copyediting. for punctuation and grammar in particular.

And, heck, English isn't even my native tongue.

Though at this point in this timeline, I guess that suggests almost no AI use, so, ... a plus?

Reading the latest installment in the Spellmonger series, I'm amazed at the combination of some of the most fascinating and epic world-building paired with the most glaring absence of proof-reading.

By Luin's knobbly staff, I'm sure it'd be within the budget. Or a few beta readers would do it for free, even.

I've fallen down the #Spellmonger rabbithole (by #TerryMancour).
I'm currenly on book 11, so I think it's fair to say I don't hate them, but my do I wish that such a successful series would afford to pay for grammar and spelling review.
It is distracting.

#TerryMancour about how and why he wrote his #Spellmonger Series https://terrymancour.blogspot.com/2021/03/what-inspired-you-to-write-spellmonger.html

BTW: those books are fun to read, but the first one has exactly the faults that the author himself recognized
