I’m really looking forward to More Than Fools Fill Graves, a novella from the Gentleman Bastards series by Scott Lynch that’s supposed to release sometime this year 🤞
And also Holly by Stephen King. The character has really grown on me, especially since watching The Outsider adaptation!

Starter Villain, by John Scalzi.

I can't wait! Everything he writes is awesome, and I get some belly laughs from at least a few things in each of his books.

Is it part of a series? I’ve never heard of Scalzi before!

Old Man's War is book one of six, but there's short stories and mini chapters and stuff, so it's hard to count. Also, I'd wager he has another book or two to write in the series.

I only read of him Old man’s war and I thought it was incredibly poorly written. Are his other books better? Or are they good in spite of the writing?
