Fiction Fans Podcast
@fictionfanspod
Weekly (mostly) SFF book podcast hosted by @svmcaro.bsky.social & @lillyscribe.bsky.social // We're fans of fiction, and have a lot of opinions // skeets mostly by Sara //
Everyone should have a friend who sends you a surprise copy All Hail Chaos by @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social because they know life has been A Lot recently
Mr Squeak might be gone but the Mr Squeak Literary Universe continues to expand, and this makes me happy
My good thing for the next episode we record: finally using up the jar of dried bay leaves I bought in France in 2011
Excited for #WritersWithDrinks tonight! @charliejane.bsky.social
I accidentally came home from an event on Sunday with a new rescue pug! And Dumpling is SO THRILLED to finally have a friend who wants to play with her
Mr Squeak (with the tongue, who passed a month ago) was my first pug and the granddaughter of one of my parents’ pugs. Snorri (with the one eye) was a rescue. We went in intending to look at a different pug, but he immediately sat in my lap and I was smitten Dumpling I rescued 2 months ago
Rounding out the second day of #worldcon with a RAGING HOUSEPARTY* *board games with @krlockhaven.bsky.social
I still have my #BrightwashAndBooze photo 😂 I think it’s time to update it!
Why yes I did forget to post about the transcript and our patreon yesterday, but in my defense all my brain power has been taken up by NEW PUPPY
While recording an episode on CHAI AND CAT-TALES by @lynnstrong.bsky.social (which is fantastic, if you like cozy fantasy go and buy this immediately), it was very fitting that we were joined by one of @lillyscribe.bsky.social’s cats
Today’s Little Free Library find: The Business by Ian Banks
Thanks for listening, Parker 😍 I’ll let @lillyscribe.bsky.social share the podcast cats, but here’s Crumpet and my two pugs (Snorri and Mr Squeak)
9. Backpacking in the Sierra with my father. He’s in his 70s so we don’t hike fast and we don’t hike far, but I love that we hike
My pugs, even when Mr Squeak has oodles of vet bills (With bonus pug picture)
It’s 9pm somewhere, so: The Professor! #TolkienBirthdayToast www.fictionfanspodcast.com/blog/tags/j-...
Depends on what you want! Standalone or miniseries starter? City watch, inept wizard, witches, Death, or con man? There’s a flow chart and the official store has a quiz to help you decide 😂 www.discworldemporium.com/quiz/
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #307,747! I didn’t realize we’ve been here for more than a year already…time flies when you’re having fun, I guess!
I’m traveling so can’t show everything, but I love: - all the art I bought at the start of covid - the paintings of my pugs I’ve commissioned - the huge oil canvases my mother did when she was getting her MFA - the Lynda Barry poster I stole from my father (he gave it to me when I said I liked it)
Found myself in the excellent Topping & Company bookshop in Bath, and oops my hand slipped and I bought some books
🛑 READING CHALLENGE CHECK POINT 🛑 Post your GR challenge! 📚 How you doing? Whatcha reading? 👀🫶 My reading this year has been a little more moderate than last year because I’ve not done a lot of personal reading, but I’ve still (just lol) hit my challenge goal!
