Super sorry about the audio on this one guys. This was the second time I'd recorded this already. In the first, I realised I was completely out of focus. In the second, I realised my mic wasn't quite plugged in. I was devastated. I ran out of time to try a third time. I'd be remiss to not, hey, by the way, it's Christmas time and you can get my books here https://linktr.ee/timhickson

Makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed Discovery! So so kind of you to talk about it

Random cat for the win! ;)

I felt it was important that you know YouTube cut to an ad at the moment you said hi to the off-screen cat... and still, I let the ads play so you would get the revenue. I feel like a saint.

Tim, when you're outside, that's when you use the fuzzy mic cover.

We are blown away and thrilled Discovery hit so well for you HFM!

Okay I have to read By Blood By Salt and Discovery!

Very many thanks helping out the self-published fantasy authors here & for all your reading in this effort. Cool to see reviews featuring both a cat and a deer! :)

That first guest star was on brand :DD

Always happy to see Orconomics get a mention. It is my number one recommendation for anyone who wants more Pratchett.

Thrilled to to see the Dark Profit and Grey Bastards series getting some love, I thought both those trilogies were excellent. I hope the authors of both series returns to the settings at some point

Dude, so glad that you loved By Blood, By Salt. It blew me away when I read it.

So glad you loved Discovery — an incredible book!

My partner asked me earlier today if there was anything else I wanted for christmas, and now I've got seven books to tell her about. Thanks Tim!

I always appreciate your book recommendations. I finally got my hands on the first Poppy War book, and I am LOVING IT

Your recommendations are always great. I got into the children of time series because of you

I mean all of them sound interesting & worth reading to me. Probably going to have to flip a coin to decide whether to read Discovery or The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble's Braids first. They're both right up my alley.
