In this episode we unveil the winner of the RedStarReviews Favorite Book Of The Year For 2021!

There will be a link at the end of the shownotes to said book so read no further if you want to avoid spoilers here!

After that there is some discussion on the SPSFC that I am reading for.

Followed by revealing what has caused me to return to YouTube of all places to share content!

Closed out with thankfulness for you, and how much I appreciate you being a part of my life.

Here are the links to my favorite book of the year:

Welcome to the seventh episode of season two! In this episode we get to have an international conversation with a hero of mine in the Warhammer40K hobby world: Edward AKA Death_Of_A_Rubricist on Instagram. We discuss what Warhammer40K is, talk about the War Of The False Primarch narrative event (which is open to all to join), and also discuss the nature and benefits of hobbying. This episode was a lot of fun and there is something for everyone, even if Warhammer40K isn’t your jam! Links to sites we discuss in the show:

First episode of 2021 only halfway through 2021! This one is a wide ranging episode in which we cover my RedStarReviews Favorite Book Of The Year Award for 2020, Vintage SciFi Month, Warhammer40K, painting, Indie SciFi gets a new awards competition, and an offering of personal encouragement to not be discouraged in difficult times. Hope you enjoy and hope you are well!

For the fifth episode of season two we have something really special! The founder of Vintage SciFi Month joins for a conversation on one of the greatest months of reading ever! The end is a bit abrupt as my headset died on me so apologies for that, but this episode was so much fun to produce so we want to give it to you in its entirety! Also here are several resources for finding material to read for Vintage SciFi Month (which takes place every January). Here are the links to the resources talked about in the podcast:
