MY PLANS FOR JULY! | Celebrating my love of gaming thru reading, plus some classic & modern sci-fi!

Hi folks, here's what's I've got going on in July!
I'll be reading more classic science fiction, and a bit more modern science fiction from Adrian Tchaikovsky, but mainly I'll be reading a ton of books on my monthly theme of Game On! So anything related to games!
I've not made this a public event but for any other gaming fans who wants to join in, you're most welcome! I've come up with prompts for myself, so I'll list them below in case you want to jump on board...
1) Read a book that a game was been based on or inspired by.
2) Read a novelisation or tie-in to a game.
3) Read a book that features a game or game-related elements in some form
4) Read a non-fiction book about or related to games
5) Read a book that is a game!
Thanks for watching, as always :-)

I'm kind of participating in this without seeing this until now hahaha. I've got a few game tie-ins I'm gearing up for. Trollyslayer I'd definitely recommend for a start as it is really outstanding. Oooh that game book looks really fun! Sounds like a great month!

[@alex_unabridged]

Cheers, Andrew! Yay to the game tie-ins! Will look forward to hearing you talk about them in a future video! Trollslayer is a must read for me this month, I'm definitely in the mood for it right now. And I hope to get to Xenos too, although I did just get the audiobook of Warboss by Mike Brooks in a sale - can't resist those crazy orks! Might have to listen to that instead, am on an audiobook kick at the moment. Do you know that one? Thanks for watching, and happy reading 😀

The gaming theme sounds super fun! Hope you have a great month.

[@alex_unabridged]

Thanks, Crystal! It should be a blast with any luck! Plenty of different stuff to read, some of which I expect will be rather bonkers 😂

@@alex_unabridged There’s a manhwa called Villains Are Destined To Die you may want to check out about a women that wakes up inside of a video game and having to play to survive. I enjoyed volume one! Great artwork.

I'm in awe of Children of Time, as you know, although I'm not sure I trust any author who puts out as much material as he does. 36 novels in 16 years, or something like that? Plus stories, novellas, etc. But that first Children book -- wow! Who the heck doesn't like Planet of the Apes? It's like I don't even know you. 🙈🙉🙊

[@alex_unabridged]

Just started Children of Time today - oh my. It's absolutely fantastic so far (am about 4 hours into it). Funny, thrilling, fascinating, incredibly engaging... is a hard one to put down for sure. AT does appear to be a ridiculously prolific writer, there's obviously some dark magic happening there. Planet of the Apes - you know as well as I do that while we have similar tastes in a lot of things we also differ wildly with some stuff. Planet of the Apes might turn out to be another Dickensgate... just warning you now so you can prepare yourself 😜

@@alex_unabridged I'm sorry -- no one can resist naked Charlton Heston running from guys in monkey makeup. Between him in Apes and Ron Ely as Tarzan, there was no possibility I wouldn't turn out gay. 😛

[@alex_unabridged]

@@troytradup 🤣 I am an outlier then ‘cause Charlton Heston is definitely resistible to me. Ron Ely tho, I can dig that no problem! 😉
