2023.04.01 12:59 Over_Celebration7430 AITA for making my cousin trip over and give them a huge wound?

My younger cousin (13F) has a huge age gap with me. So when I was with her I always had to be more ‘mature’ around her. But since I was little she always stole a few small stuff from my room. Such as homemade bracelets, charms or photo cards whenever she came over. I didn’t really mind it and just thought it as giving a gift to her. She probably thinks I don’t notice.
But a few days ago I bought accessories to give as a gift to my friend, but I knew that my cousin will steal this so I put it on top of my shelf where you have to stand on a chair to reach. Yesterday when she came over I was in the lounge with my relatives, when I heard a huge sound from my room. Obviously it was my cousin that fell on the floor from the chair.
She started to cry and tell all my relatives what happened, and it was about how she was standing on top of the chair to get my stuff from the shelf and how she lost balance and fell to the floor. She got a pretty big wound because she scratched her ankle on the tip of the chair and probably broke some bones.
Her dad got so mad at me and got the accessory that was on top of the shelf and just gave it to my cousin. Half of my relatives got mad at them because they knew about how my cousin always stole stuff from my room. But the other half got mad at me for leaving such a big wound on a little girl’s ankle just because I was being petty.
I didn’t want things to get this big but honestly I am starting to feel bad about the scar my cousin got and how she might get insecure or get bullied about it, and how I probably ruined the whole reunion for my relatives.

2023.04.01 11:52 InfernoAA Blitz XIX ~ "Carolina Reapin"

What’s sweet, long, and 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units of fiery hot? That’s right baby, it’s tonight’s episode of Blitz! From last week’s Aether, we take a trip down to the pits of Hell with an absolutely searing card that’ll leave you sore from all the frenzied chanting as we hit up the famed Hodges’s Gymnasium in Raleigh, North Carolina, belonging to the mentor of our one and only Joshua Epps! With the killer main event that is in place, Death to Juniors will surely be appreciative of fighting on their own home turf, but don’t let that distract you from the 16 other fabulous talents in the running. Looking for a way to cooldown after the show? Hit up our latest stock of JOHN Bombs – the bath bombs that’ll peel all your worries off your skin! With grand matches and sizzling returns ahead of us, let’s dive right into the lava pool!

Non-Title: FBE World Heavyweight Champion Inferno vs Sebastian King
The issues between the FBE World Heavyweight Champion and the youth have been a hot topic in recent months, bleeding into the headlines with his initial attack on current PROVINCE Leader T.M Imran. Whilst they’ve had two intensely personal matches since, a lot of bad blood still exists between the two sides, and tonight will be looking to take a deeper look at that when Inferno continues his crusade against the Trial Era as he takes on the Duke of Destruction, Sebastian King!
One of the figureheads of this new generation with his Cinderella run alongside Corey Youngblood as Tequila Inc. through last year’s Punish & Crush Tournament, the partnership producing a masterful duology against the reigning Tag Team Champions, and a promising continued rise up the ranks alongside his new stablemates, he’s everything people want to be, and equally everything Baba Blitz wants to hate. One of the better all-rounders this company has seen, Sebastian’s got the tools to go from cooking foetuses inside a Steel Cage to grappling it out on the mat, so when making a welcome return to these holy lands, you best believe he won’t be leaving until Inferno’s door is kicked off its hinges!
Prompt: Rebook ECW Barely Legal (Max 1000 Words)

B Block: Joey Joey Siwa [0] vs Nate Matthews [0]
Despite a fantastic performance in his first tournament match two weeks ago, Joey Joey Siwa fell narrowly short of his first 2 points, and yet, it’s a defeat that should have his blockmates more concerned for their own safety. Already revealing once what he looks like when reaching his darkest depths, a JJS starved of success is not a JJS one wants to deal with, a pizza cutter primed to slice through anyone that defies him. With the Nebraskan now officially let loose in the wild, there is perhaps but one man who may boast the experience of putting down the world’s deadliest, and that’s his next B Block opponent, Nate Matthews!
Emerging from the plains of Tijuana, the Living Legend’s a product of one of the most dangerous cities in the world, and if his body of work over the last 4 years is anything to go by, he won’t hesitate to gut those standing in his way and bleed them dry. Rounding out the group of guys yet to make their Shining Light League debuts, Nate surely has his eyes on yet another championship and tournament win, but if Siwa has anything to say about it, it's going to be a bumpy ride to the top!
Prompt: Book Dragon Lee's NXT run (Max 1000 Words)

Mark Steel vs Ferdinand Maxim
Fresh off a career highlight win last week, Mark Steel continues to stun the world with his ability to pull one off in a pinch, proving exactly why you should never count anyone out when Pure Rules are in effect. Blitz taking place around parts he’s rather familiar with himself, the Death to Juniors member has made a special request to wrestle on home territory to stay hot ahead of his final two block matches, so leave it up to none other than a returning Ferdinand Maxim to answer that challenge! A somewhat precursor of sorts to Steel with his time as part of the famed Collective, the Wild Wester is exactly the type of fella that Mark’s agenda wants a piece of, his Junior Heavyweight stylings meaning the guillotine is primed and ready. With a much lengthier tenure to his name though, experience lies in Le Prince de Paris’s corner, so expect nothing short of an interesting battle between two proud representatives of contrasting generations!
Prompt: Book FTR's WWE return if they lose to The Gunns (Max 1000 Words)

D Block: Erick Koeman [0] vs Kentaro Sakamoto [0]
Even after just one night of it, D Block’s been nothing short of wildly competitive, in part owed to the level of talent brimming from all 5 of its components. It’s also been a prime location for faction warfare, everyone repping a different allegiance in the fight, adamant to bring home the trophy to their group. When it comes to Erick Koeman and Kentaro Sakamoto, one of each shimmering example from PROVINCE and PROSPECT respectively are tossed into the middle for a battle of supremacy between the leading ‘P’ factions of recent times, a truckload of pride riding on this one. El Cráneo has a lot on his plate at the moment, having to balance the Punish & Crush Tournament with the Shining Light League, which could potentially leave him stretched just thin enough for the Flying Dutchman to blow him out the water, though leave it to a hitman to fire two bullets at once, tonight about to prove whether his aim is as true as is to be believed!
Prompt: Rebook Jay White in IMPACT (Max 1000 Words)

B Block: Hunter Maguire [2] vs FBE World Tag Team Champion Capital STEEZ [2]
Perhaps the most important match of the tournament thus far is the one up next as for the first time, two competitors with wins under their belt collide, making this a battle for the top of B Block! No shortage of history between Death to Juniors and Capital STEEZ, their animosities dating back to the Anniversary Show when King Capital teamed with surprising ally “Godfather of Pure Rules” Atlas Rogue against Hunter Maguire and Joshua Epps in winning effort, those issues were only punctuated last week as DTJ’s Misery stunned the FBE World Tag Team Champion in an upset, bringing his 2023 record against the group to 1-1. Fighting in their very home grounds here, there’s no better place for STEEZ to deliver a chilly helping of revenge, but when made to be a relative fish out of water, the burning question on everyone’s minds is whether Maguire knows something about this place that STEEZ doesn’t, Hunter’s cunning a massive asset to him here as traps lay abound!
Prompt: Rebook Edge and Christian's 2001 Rivalry (Max 1000 Words)

ICON vs Happy
When the Pure Division was initially launched almost a year ago, one man that came calling back to participate was the Aviator himself, ICON, managing to net a shot at the throne in his short time here. One of the more accomplished to set foot in FBE, picking up the Television, World Tag Team, and Junior Heavyweight Championships in rapid succession back in the day, he’s fought for every active championship and each time given every champion a match they’ll never forget. But for a competitor like him, that’s not enough. Making his full-time return to Blitz action tonight, he’s got the Pure Championship on his mind, and he’ll stop at nothing to make it his!
But what lies ahead is perhaps the toughest possible first match back as standing in his way is a competitor that’s proven his efficacy under this ruleset many a time – Happy! A true Trial Era pillar, the Clown was the first of his batch to win the World Heavyweight Championship, that too as his first title in the company, which hasn’t been done since the first champion was crowned in FBE. Competing at an unmatched level throughout 2022, even main eventing BTE, he’s the perfect candidate to test what ICON still has in the tank after a lengthy hiatus whilst proving 2022 was just the beginning of what we’ll see from the monster that resides under your bed!
Prompt: Book the RAW after WrestleMania 39 (Max 1000 Words)

D Block: Joshua Epps [2] vs FBE Junior Heavyweight Champion Misery [0]
One of the more exciting times in the year is when two factions go head-to-head with all their manpower to quell the debate of which one is undisputedly better. What’s arguably even more thrilling though are the rarer instances in which two members of the same fight are forced to put their friendship aside in their respective quests for championships. For Death to Juniors, that’s no unfamiliar situation, last year’s Gedo Classic Finals seeing Misery and Hunter Maguire come to blows over the vacant FBE Junior Heavyweight Championship in one of the division’s standout matches that year. By that merit, what’s to come between Joshua Epps and Misery right here can only be anticipated as something very, very special.
Both on unquestionably killer (pun intended) runs, God’s Greatest Athlete recording a recent brilliant Television Championship reign and continually being a standout fixture here on Blitz as seen with his fantastic performance in last week’s main event, and Misery mere days away from the breaking the title reign length record with her Junior Title, ruling over the division with an iron fist whilst proving herself just as competent under Pure Rules given her godly win in last week’s opener, there’s no doubt that something special is to go down here between the two. And fighting in front of Pop Hodges himself, expect no punches to be pulled between great allies but perhaps even better foes as both look to impress the legend in what’s surely to be an exhilarating showdown between DTJ’s leading members!

2023.04.01 10:11 DiscordantPearl 40k in debt and with cancer. Help formulating a plan?

Hello,
US based. Since 2019 i've been battling cancer. While I had good insurance the other expenses and life just kinda landed me in a spot where I have 40k racked up on credit cards.
I've just been kind of doing the monthly payments, a little more than the required amount but the interest alone is super high and nullifying the dent that i'm making.
The good news is, my wife and I have decent jobs.
My income before taxes is around $130K USD, household is $200k.
No house payments, no car payments but currently all of our paychecks go towards expenses and CC debit. We only have like $6k in savings for house repairs and whatnot which is admittedly probably poor planning given our income.
FWIW, i have max contributions into our ESPP and 401k Contributions.

Now, I have some company shares that sit in the 6 figure range. Currently valued at 250k but at their height were around 750k a year or so ago. I didn't do my homework at the time and exercised a huge chunk of vested options and got hit with 30K in AMT tax. I've been wary ever since of how to broach the topic or who to turn to for resources or what to look for in a financial advisor.
Is it best to wait till they go back up in price, sell off everything and take the hit in regards to taxes and pay things off in one fell swoop?
If I wanted to sit on that money and let its value (hopefully) go back up one day, is it best to just get a balance transfer to a new card? Or should I seek out a loan of some sort?
Given all these factors, what's the best play here? How can I better understand also how to exercise my vested shares without triggering the AMT tax? I'm assuming planning things on a schedule is best.

While my current prognosis is good, i'd like to start down the correct path and get this all sorted one day so that if things do get worse and maybe i'm not around anymore my wife won't be burdened by debt or navigating all this, although i'm sure my life insurance policy would help sort her out.

2023.04.01 05:03 alexo2802 Here’s what I think about the market being empty or sold out most of the time

So it’s a fact that the market is pretty empty most of the time, but why is that?
Well, according to Buff they simply can’t restock fast enough.. but that doesn’t make sense to me, because:
  1. They use some website’s API to get the gift cards, so maybe they are rate limited by the website
But if so, why don’t they switch gift card providers? Or simply add another provider and combine the two? Or get cards directly from companies? For example, Buff could partner with Amazon directly and get virtually as many amazon cards as they want.
  1. They need to pay for the cards in advance, so maybe Buff simply isn’t profitable enough to restock the marketplace at a rate that would be enough for people to spend their Buff.
The math is simple, let’s say every month they give a million dollar worth of Buff, but only make 900k$ worth of revenue, then they have a deficit and a backlog of people who can’t use their points appears. Repeat that every month and that’s how you end up with a market no one is able to claim from because the backlog is absolutely huge.
But if that’s the case, why do they keep on adding more ways to earn Buff that seemingly don’t provide them with equal revenue?
Are the people behind buff just really bad at math?
I started having serious doubts about them when they added golden wheel spins for 200 coins for premium members, considering the average prize from a golden spin is 250, you literally get more than you spend, meaning the best play was to buy as many golden spins as possible and you’d get literally free Buffs at little to no risk.
Or why don’t they raise store prices? That seems like an obvious fix right? Wait a little more to get a card but at least it’ll be in stock when you have enough to claim it, why not?I see two potential reasons why they wouldn’t do that:
  1. They make so little money compared to the amount of Buff they distribute that to equal buff given out to revenue, they’d have to bump market prices by so much they know it would discourage new users and hurt them, so they prefer the shady tactic of artificially pretending like Buffs are worth a lot to still attract new users that they know won’t be able to claim a prize.
  2. I’m completely off, and the reason isn’t money, it’s just rate limits with their card provider, and for some ungodly reason they can’t add another provider or get cards directly from the site, like getting Amazon cards from Amazon themselves.
At last but not least, there’s also a chance that their issues are exacerbated by bots, money attracts people trying to cheat the system, so even while they explicitely say the marketplace issues aren’t caused by bots, I have extreme doubts that it’s not part of it.
I very strongly doubt I’ll get a reply from official buff staff, but still, the only social media I’ve found them answer on is here, so maybe you guys can shine some light on the issue and my different theories?

2023.04.01 04:15 MrMSUK Shopify: Longer term cost

Hello, will sound like a beginner question. My question is that cost of sales increases happens if you sell online generally. (E.g. if you sell on marketplace, eBay/Amazon/Etsy, etc, each year or so, your fees increase & you're more reliant on the ads product to be seen e.g. the pay per display/pay per click ads business units which the platform companies are building, are super profitable; which eat away more and more of your margin, often to maintain the same revenue).
I'm trying to figure out how this increase works in the Shopify store context (thought to get your idea on where you think surprise/unexpected area of cost increases might come from in 3-5 years). When you platform/sell with Shopify - where do you think of the medium/longer term (cost of sales) increases are going to be coming from? (just in terms of keeping the website operational, not related to sourcing/stock/couriestaff costs, etc)
  1. External ads cost: In my head, the most obvious cost that can push a Shopify store to be beyond economic to run - would be the ads cost externally (ironically is outside of Shopify). It's often what will determine if you're found, or not. It'll be the Google /Bing ads for your category (e.g. performance max seems to be a budget blackhole for e.g.). I'll probably think of this as 4/5 for how heavy the impact is over medium/longer term (inevitable x high impact).
  2. External driven behavior change: say if external business model innovation means that a decent % of your potential customers are no longer find items through the tradition Google/Bing online search engines (where you do PPC), but instead say from ChatGPT and other AI bots- this may potentially drive the cost of advertising upwards. More radical version of this might be e.g. bots taking over shopping / discovery for people. In my head, the switchover from DIY search engine (e.g. Google/Bing) to AI/LLM based search (e.g. open AI) won't be quick, probably at least 3-5 years off, so maybe towards the tail end of that Google may hike the legacy pricing, further bumping the spot ads price. Furthermore, this switch probably won't entirely get rid of highly ranked organic pages/content if you're credible & people will still enjoy the shopping experience (it may be that ChatGPT consolidate the "early information" search, but consumer then laser in on the actual products still, on the traditional marketplace/stores). Think this may not have more than 20-30% impact in 3-5 years, however, assigning 3.5/5 impact (probable x medium impact).
  3. Plugin price hike. Have anecdotally seen plugin price hikes from time to time. Now some plugins could power your store more than others. The hope is to never have something so core, done only by one plugin that's hard to replace. However, popular plugins sometimes let you grandfather in pricing, and even in 2023, many plugins are worth more than their monthly cost imo. More plugin sales would net Shopify more fund (so reckon they'll not resist this if plugin pricing inflation takes place). In my head, in 3-5 years, in the less optimal scenario - it'll get exceedingly expensive for new stores (imagine hundreds of $$$ pm for simple functionality); the drive against this is competition amongst the plugin developers; however, there's probably more of a self interest driven pricing floor in play that disincentives price competition (encourages consolidation among the developers buying out competitors). The higher the Shopify store tier you get, gradually I reckon the more plugin price differentiation based on usage (e.g. more apps charge higher for Shopify advanced/plus). Assigning 3/5 impact (likely x medium impact)
  4. 3rd party tools price hike. Have anecdotally seen tool price hikes from time to time e.g. think re linnworks back in 2019 (when they've moved to usage based plan, price 2-3x appeared). Assigning 3/5 impact (likely x medium impact). If you look at things like hotjar, etc - the costs will only increase. Probably giving it 3/5 impact (likely x medium impact)
  5. External ads policy change: this again probably is outside direct scope of Shopify. e.g. say Google announces that your category isn't going to be ads-able, that'll be problematic to keeping the store economical. Probably assign 3/5 for impact (improbably x high impact)
  6. External policy payment change: e.g. if big card issuers change/reduce the threshold for liability shift, that'll be a bit annoying. That said, products like signifyd / riskifyed do exist. Probably assign 2/5 for impact (improbably x medium impact).
  7. Shopify store sub pricing / transaction fee increase: Shopify seems to keep their pay monthly price stable, competitive, and the transaction rate is favored to growth (higher tier = cheaper transactions). In my head, Shopify has to keep this low for some time to come (give away value to acquire longer term Shopify store "tenants" - too high a cost encourages re-platforming); having said that, you now can see the $2k pm price more visibly for Shopify Plus (previously "price on request) - reckon they'd want to segment the plans over time more. After all they lets you have features of bigger stores via theme/plugins & whilst its ToS means that it's never really your store, if you run it well, you should be fine (it's a modest trade off). In my head the risk here is probably 2/5 or 3/5 given Shopify will be in store acquisition mode for time to come (and they probably won't be in as extractive mode until they've locked in the merchants and are the only player; bigcommerce, if they keep on existing, would probably offset some price inflation risks).
Have I forgot some obvious areas where price increase might come in? (just purely to keep the store going).
Note to self: after typing this up, it looks like regardless, one'd need a good think re: making a good balance between customer acquisation cost vs the lifetime value - and the best you can do is to build your audience asap, get the klaviyo going asap, keep the channel engaged & where possible build out a store with more percent as recurring rather than one off). Yes, costs will increase, but hopefully you grow the store more profitably regardless.

2023.04.01 03:33 d4rkseid66 Ideas for recurring charges to keep unused cards opened.

What are some easy recurring charges everyone uses to keep those cards you don't care for open? I have the WF College Card and they haven't converted it to an Active Cash even though I've had it for nearly 6 years (my oldest account). So I've stopped using it altogether because it doesn't have any advantages so I'm curious what charges people use to keep sock drawer cards open. I know that the common ones are subscriptions and Amazon reloads, but I don't really have any subscription services and if I did I would put them on a card that earns extra cash back in that category. As for the Amazon idea I always see people here saying they just add $0.50 to their gift card balance, but when I try that it says I have to add a minimum of $5 every 3 months. Same with Starbucks which is another one I've seen people mention.
I'm not totally against the Amazon idea at $5 every 3 months, but I'm just curious if there any other solutions out there that people use.

2023.04.01 02:43 No-Beginning-3715 My partner sat down with me to break down my finances, build a financial plan, and help me fix my credit.

He’s good with money and numbers, while I am not. I never had a healthy relationship with money, as growing up my parents were in crippling debt, and I never learned healthy spending habits until my partner started helping me.
It wasn’t totally intentional to have my credit tank into the low 400’s, but by the time I turned 25, the damage was done. I overspent, under saved, and had trouble finding jobs that paid what I needed them to in order to avoid living paycheck to paycheck.
Eventually, I got tired of getting nowhere, not being able to pay off my debt, and barely covering my rent and other expenses. So, I fucked off paying down all my loans and credit cards. Most went to collections, other accounts were closed/written off, and some financiers were willing to take very low monthly payments that I could afford to make, without being impoverished and unable to feed myself.
My partner and I got together a few months ago(long time friends,) and for the first time since I first started to attempt to build credit, my score has improved. We want to get a rental, and eventually buy a house together. We both intend on keeping our finances separated aside from physical investments. He helped me get a higher paying job in hourly with commission sales, through a mutual friend of ours who used to work under my partner at the same company I now work for.
He built me a financial plan and basically controls my finances- it’s still my money to spend how I see fit, but I run over every purchase I want to make with him before I make it, because of my impulsive spending. This keeps me accountable to my spending habits, and it’s reassuring to have him do this in a compassionate way.
He always approaches me with compassion, explains concepts and plans thoroughly to make sure I understand them, answers all of my questions, and has been transparent about his finances- showing me all his personal and student loans, credit card balances, collections, and checking/savings accounts. He’s even got me investing into stocks lol
I’ve never done this with a partner before. All of my exes were secretive about money, and never actually worked to build a life with me. My last ex was my longest relationship and it was a shit show- that 4 years is where I accumulated a majority of my debt by taking out loans and credit cards to cover his bills, because I couldn’t rely on him to pay his way.
I was embarrassed, and scared to share my financial situation when my partner and I first started, because I knew he was far more financially stable than I was at the time. When he told me that I was actually a lot closer to financial freedom than I thought, and my case wasn’t that bad- I felt so much relief and hope.
He built me a complete plan to handle everything. And my god. My entire life started to change before my eyes. Having the structure and accountability changed everything. Initially, a few of my friends found it odd that he wanted to sift through my finances pretty much immediately as we began dating, but after explaining why he did and how our dynamic works, they want his help too.
Beyond his financial prowess, he’s really just a kind, helpful, and compassionate guy- he’s always been amazing the entire 7 years I’ve known him. He’s also the sweetest partner I’ve ever had, and constantly does things purely because he cares for me.
I feel so thankful, hopeful and lucky to have him in my life, because he has helped me regain control of my very out of control life and financial situation. He makes me a better person.
Tl;dr: My amazing partner helps me fix my credit, spending habits, finds me a job, and is an all around amazing person.

2023.04.01 01:16 rx420queen [H] Sephora GC: $500 USD - [W] 85% CashApp/Venmo/PayPal

My elderly father unfortunately fell for a "Microsoft" scam email that was sent to him and TLDR they told him the only way they could remove the "virus" from his computer was if he paid them with a $500 gift card from Sephora of all places.
He went out and bought the gift card, but luckily I was able to stop him before he gave them the card info so they never got it. I just re-confirmed that all $500 is still there via Sephora's website's gift card balance checker before making this post.
just trying to recoup as much of his $ as I can. He feels so stupid and defeated and it's breaking my heart.
asking 85% value via PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App. Please comment before PM! Thank you🥰

2023.04.01 01:10 next3days For anyone who's looking for something to do this weekend in Blacksburg & Beyond....

It's another big weekend of local fun in Blacksburg, at Virginia Tech and throughout the New River Valley with over 65 events. However will have to keep our fingers crossed the weather cooperates on Saturday for any of the outdoor events (some for tonight & tomorrow are already cancelled or postponed including this weekend's top 15 softball match-up).
The Hokie Women's Basketball will have most of the attention tonight and hopefully on Sunday afternoon, though I have included a few late Friday events for those that are interested.
Here's the Weekend Rundown: 1. Performance with Rissi Palmer Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg Friday, March 31, 2023, 8:00 - 10:00 PM General Admission: $15.00, Students with ID and Youth 18 and Under: $10.00 Rissi Palmer's 2017 twangy mid-tempo anthem, "Country Girl", made her the first Black woman to grace Billboard’s Hot Country charts in over 30 years. Rissi Palmer's gift lies in reaching across all musical boundaries. While Palmer made her mark in country music, she is equally at home in R&B music, bringing the entire spectrum of popular music to bear on music she calls "Southern soul". Raised in a musical family that loved both country and R&B, she was a part of a singing and dancing troupe sponsored by a local television station at age 16, and by the time she was 19 years old, she had already been offered her first publishing and label deal. A few highlights throughout Palmer’s musical career include performances at the White House, New York's Lincoln Center, and multiple appearances on the Grand Ole Opry stage. She has toured extensively across the country, sharing stages with Taylor Swift, The Eagles, Chris Young, Charley Crockett, and many more. She has also made numerous national appearances on Oprah and Friends, CMT Insider, CNN, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America to name a few. Palmer is also a special correspondent for CMT's Hot 20 Countdown, featuring chart-topping music videos, news stories, live performances, and candid interviews from country’s biggest stars. This performance is part of "Up 86," a trio of spring performances is the culmination of a new collaboration between the Moss Arts Center and North Carolina artist Shirlette Ammons, who is serving as the center’s first independent guest performing arts curator.

2023.04.01 01:02 mrnotadvice Trade Setups by MrNotAdvice - PART I: FAQ

PART I: FAQ

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?:

I started this subreddit so that I could help people make money with no pressure, no sales pitches and no criticism. I will NEVER charge for the ideas I present in this sub, although, as I explained in this post I fully intend to monetize traffic by offering people exclusive trade ideas on my website as well as the ability to have one on one trade sessions or teaching sessions. But that's not for 30 days or so. Remember that I am also offering the First20 people who are qualified to SHARE IN REVENUES from my own website. I also will be spending ad dollars to promote the site. I help you, you help me. So please invite people to this sub.

MY BACKGROUND:

I worked on Wall Street for almost 30 years. I started as a stockbroker, moved up to investment banking (ever heard of Frontier Airlines?) before I started a Quant Fund. My partners and I shut that down 6 months before the 2008 collapse, following our trade rules. After that, I continued to manage money for HNW people, professional athletes and other investment professionals. I also created private investment products in real estate, water, and purchases of entire businesses.
At the end of my career I was asked to help start a new company by a client who had hired me to fly around the country and look at possible deals. That company still exists today and within 3 years it went from $0 revenues to $21 million with a 5% net. Covid ended my ability to travel weekly to that company. Over my career, I have been involved in about $3.5 billion in capital raises across over 100 different companies in varied industries.
I retired in December 2022 and after taking a month off, I decided to trade for my own accounts and family in February 2023. I also have two startups.

SO WHAT:

I share the above to illustrate that my entire career I used the same skills whether I was trading stocks, options, futures or real estate and companies. I have lost a lot of money along the way and made a lot of money. My losses are your gains. But the one single thing that changed my life was my mentor, a former card counter turned money manager who had pity on me and taught me to trade. Why? Because he got sick of me breaking phones every week when I was angry and frustrated. And he was a good guy.

MY GOAL:

Wall Street is rigged. I know because I was one of the guys who profited from it. I retired bc I HATE that the average investor has ZERO chance to make money consistently. Instead, WS is structured to take your money, all while telling you that you need them (you don't) and they are smarter than you (most aren't).
My objective is simple: I WANT TO BUILD A COMMUNITY OF TRADERS AND INVESTORS WHO MAKE MONEY CONSISTENTLY, WITH LITTLE STRESS, TESTED HIGH PROBABILITY SETUPS, AND NO NEED FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORS, ETC.
I strongly believe that if you learn, ask questions, and have discipline, my way of trading will lead to profits. And THAT will not only affect you, but also your kids and their kids. It's generational change. Plus, "teach a man to fish ....."

OK, BUT HOW DO I KNOW YOU AREN'T FULL OF CRAP?

You don't, yet. A couple of the early members have had the opportunity to watch my methodology and talk with me - ask them if my methodology produces gains. A couple I am teaching one on one.
u/rahil_p11 u/heywaahappen u/Vampiretrades are a couple who can share their experience thus far.
Also, I won't be the only one posting ideas. Members here are free to post ideas at anytime.

DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE?

Nope. My methodology is not difficult to learn or implement. It is difficult if you are not disciplined or are looking for a get rich quick scheme.

DO I NEED TO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY?

No. Starting balances of as little as $1000 can be successful. Of course, that size will also mean higher risk due to inability to position size.

DON'T YOU JUST TRADE OPTIONS THOUGH?

Personally, I trade options and scalp futures. BUT, my setups can be used with stocks, options, futures. I am not a bond trader nor do I do mutual funds (I will be writing a blog post on the site why mutual funds are some of the most criminal structures out there).

OK, SO I MUST HAVE TO PAY YOU?

Nope. Firstly, I am not a licensed advisor anymore and everything I share is for informational purposes only. What you do with it is your business. It's also why I encourage people to paper trade first. Secondly, there still are people out there that truly want to help others, they just need to find those who want to learn. People have mentored, coached, taught me - I am paying it forward.

ARE YOUR SET-UPS GUARANTEED TO WORK?

Don't be an ass. Of course they aren't guaranteed to work. I can only tell you that they have worked for me for over two decades.

OK, HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Easy, read some of the trade setups here. I post them often the same day I take them. Then, ask questions, get to know some of the members. I won't let any ass hats stay here (well u/vampiretrades gets close - kidding!).
Message me directly and I will endeavor to answer questions very quickly.
Finally, READ ALL OF THE TRADE SETUPS POSTS.

AWESOME, ANYTHING ELSE?

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

Your Moms

WHATS YOUR REAL NAME?

The Boss. Or MrNotAdvice.

WHY NO POSITION SIZES?

Look, if people start posting position sizes, they might think less or more of an idea. That's stupid and it injects bias. Both of those are bad.

CAN I POST MY WINS? BRAG A LITTLE?

Sure, just don't be a dick about it. AND NO DOLLAR AMOUNTS.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Go read the Part II and subsequent posts as they are released. Ask for help. Make money.
Trading and investing should be fun. If you stick around here, it is.

LETS GO!

2023.04.01 00:56 dragon_morgan I completed a bingo card with all indie/self published titles!

I completed a bingo card with all indie/self published titles!

bingo card in all its glory
For Bingo this year I thought it would be fun to complete a card using only self- or indie-published books. By definition of indie published I mostly mean anything that uses KDP or Ingram Spark or similar as their main distributor, but if someone from a very small trad press managed to sneak through my filter consider this covering my bum and saying I picked things that were indie “enough” :)
So then, without further ado, the mini reviews!
A Book from Fantasy’s Top LGBTQIA List
Substitution, but within the spirit of the thing: School Setting (2020)
The Enchanter by Tobias Begley
Hard Mode: N/A
Came up against a challenge on the very first square because the only indie published book on the somewhat limited list was Arcane Ascension, which I’d already read, and didn’t really want to use my one reread on that. So I started looking around for other LGBTQ books to use as my substitution and ended up picking up Enchanter, which turned out to be… a lot like Arcane Ascension, actually. Evander is a socially awkward young gay man who is off to magic school to become an enchanter. What he lacks in raw magical ability he makes up for in determination and cleverness, and he spends much of the book pushing the magic system to its absolute limit, all while meanwhile navigating a budding first romance with the handsome nobleman he met on the train. Meanwhile someone is letting eldritch horrors into the school grounds, and it’s up to Evander and his new boyfriend to figure out the mystery and avoid taking the blame themselves. I enjoyed this book quite a lot, though it leans heavily into a lot of the tropes of both the magic school and progression fantasy genres. I’d say if you enjoyed Arcane Ascension and Mother of Learning, you will probably definitely enjoy this one too.
Weird Ecology
Iron Truth by S.A. Tholin
Hard Mode: yes
Over a century ago, Joy Somerset entered cryogenic sleep and boarded a colony ship, expecting to awaken on an idyllic new world. Instead she wakes up on Cato, a dusty hellscape inhabited only by giant spiders, hostile locals, and red lichen that is probably definitely up to no good. Rigid and religiously devout military commander Cassimir from the theocratic Primaterre Protectorate seems like her ticket back to civilization, but neither of them will go anywhere until they can unravel Cato’s mysteries. This book won the first ever SPSFC contest and I can see why, because even though it was a somewhat long book, it kept me turning pages all the way through. Part space opera, part cosmic horror, I felt like I was racing to the end just to figure out what was going on. If I had any complaints it was that the romance felt a little bit forced — here is a hot girl, here is a hot guy, they are designated to end up together because the plot says so. In such a long book there ought to have been plenty of breathing room for their romance to grow organically but I never really felt like I got that, it was just hawtness at first sight and that was that. Still highly recommend to anyone who likes space opera.
Two or More Authors
NACL: Eye of the Storm by Allegra Pescatore and E. Sands
Hard Mode: no
Their planet seems like a perfect paradise, with one glaring flaw: the gods, when they created the world, forgot to include salt, an ingredient necessary for human life. In order to hastily cover up their mistake, they concentrated a world’s worth of salt in a giant pillar in the middle of the ocean, intending for it to distribute over time. But humans being humans, they unfortunately invented capitalism first, and now a corrupt corporation rigidly controls the salt pillar. Thanks to a meddlesome precog who might or might not himself be a god, a ragtag crew comes together, formed of an ex corporate slave, a grumpy doctor, a pair of pirates who smuggle salt to those in need, and a woman with dangerous magical powers who’d honestly rather just be left alone. Together, they hatch a plan to take down the corporation once and for all. They have to learn to trust each other first, though, and that is easier said than done. Well all right. If you know me you know I’m a sucker for a story about a ragtag crew that has to come together to defeat the big bad. This was a great story and it really delivered in that respect. My main complaint was that there are a lot of POV characters and many of them sort of blend together in the beginning. They all have their own reasons for being angry at the corporation but when you have multiple characters whose *main* personality trait is “GRR I HATE THE COMPANY” they kind of run together for the first act until they start to distinguish themselves. My nickname for this book while I was reading it was “Salty Bitches” for a reason. For real, though, I really did enjoy this one, and if you want a nice escapist fantasy about sticking it to the corporate man, this is the book for you.
Historical SFF
Scales and Sensibility by Stephanie Burgis
Hard Mode: no, sigh, all I had to do was find something not set in one of two countries, and guess where this one is set
When Elinor’s parents died and left her and her sisters penniless, she has no choice but to move in with her obnoxious relatives and, Cinderella-like, work as a servant for her terrible cousin. She plans to abide this with determined British stoicness until she can finally leave and become a governess or something, but if there is one thing she cannot abide, it is dragon abuse. So she finds herself running from home with a stolen dragon and only a few coins to her name, and is nearly run off the road by a handsome gentleman off to court her very same horrible cousin. And that’s when the real shenanigans begin. This book was a delight from start to finish. It is one of the finalists for this year’s SPFBO which I think is incredibly well-deserved. It shares a lot in common with its fellow finalist Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide, making 2022 evidently a big year for downtrodden British ladies hiding dragons from their terrible relatives. I recommend this one to anyone who likes cozy fantasy, regency era, and fantasy of manners.
Set in Space
The Last Gifts of the Universe by Rory August
Hard Mode: I can’t honestly remember if the kids are from Earth or not but I’m going to go with yes, so no on the hard mode
When humans finally invented faster-than-light travel, they expected to be welcomed or mistrusted by a greater galactic community. What they found instead were hundreds of abandoned planets, remnants of a civilization wiped clean by some unknown catastrophe. Archaeologists are desperate to find out what went wrong, as are the corrupt corporations who control humanity, because what happened to one civilization could happen to ours, as well. The Last Gifts of the Universe stars Scout, a small-time independent archaeologist, and her younger brother, as they race to find precious recordings of the lost civilization before their corporate rivals can. Despite being set in the backdrop of a mystery that spans centuries and light years and potentially multiple-world-ending stakes, this story is really more about the more immediate human (and sentient-non-human) relationships of the characters. It is a story about Scout’s relationship with their brother, their complicated memories with their parents, and their growing frenemyship with the corporate soldier who wants the same things they do. It is also about Biryeena, the alien politician who lived centuries ago, leaving her recorded memories for future archaeologists to find. I enjoyed this book very much, but I think I might have enjoyed it a lot more if we were not presented with such galaxy-spanning stakes only to be told that those stakes were not the point. They could have just been ordinary space archaeologists without trying to solve Space Plague. I also wasn’t sure how I felt about the ancient alien civilization as it is presented. Making them very human-seeming made them more relatable to the reader, but I found it strained suspension of disbelief, just a little, that they would so closely follow a somewhat idealized version of modern Western civilization, in which the alien narrator goes to a four-year college, struggles to find a job upon graduation, gets married, and eventually runs for office in a vaguely democratic society. Still, I recommend this one to fans of Becky Chambers and anyone who wants a more intimate character-focused space opera.
Standalone
Battle Mage by Peter Flannery
Hard Mode: yes
Falco Dante longs to be a dragon rider and fight the demon hordes, but unfortunately, he is shunned by his community for being a sick weakling, and worse yet, being the son of a traitor who turned against the town. But when a dragon summoning goes horribly wrong and the townsfolk are forced to flee, he learns he has the rare potential to become a battle mage, and may be the one to repair the bond between humans and dragons and defeat the demons once and for all. Of course as many of you know I love a good training montage story, as well as “battle school” types of settings. And dragon riders. I love those two. So even going in I knew this book was going to be a good time. It is long, incredibly long, but I actually admire Flannery for keeping the story contained to one book, because it could have easily been a 10 book series full of doorstoppers if he wanted to stretch things out. I did think the pacing dragged a little bit in places, the blow-by-blow battle scenes were too frequent and drawn-out for my personal tastes, and the part where they’re fleeing the town in the beginning seemed to take forever when it really didn’t need to. If you’re a fan of a lot of the classic fantasy tropes, however, this is not one to miss.
Anti-Hero
Where Blood Runs Gold by A.C. Cross
Hard Mode: no
Errol Thorpe is your typical old west sheriff who refuses to take shit from anyone. He has his own strong moral compass, but will not hesitate to bust heads at the slightest provocation. This of course becomes both a strength and a complication when he finds himself in custody of a young woman he needs to keep safe, while also unraveling the mystery of the creepy magic dust that’s making people go crazy. This book is incredibly tightly plotted and had me eagerly turning pages all the way through. I think what I liked the most about it was the general voice to the writing, I really felt like I was getting into Sheriff Errol Thorpe’s head. If you’re a fan of gritty types of westerns like HBO’s Deadwood I think you’ll really enjoy Where Blood Runs Gold.
Book Club OR Readalong Book
The Wolf and the She-Bear by Morgan Stang (RAB December 2022)
Hard Mode: yes :)
“Retired” mercenary Samantha Redwyne just wants a quiet peaceful life in the middle of nowhere. But when a man from her past begs her help transporting some Probably Definitely Stolen Cargo, she reluctantly agrees. Naturally, trouble follows quickly at their heels. This book was both very fast paced and also novella length so it made for a very quick read. I kind of almost wish it had been a little bit longer, though, because I would have liked to get to know the characters a bit more, given them room to breathe. I feel like we never really get to know who Samantha is as a person, and so when big reveals are made about her past, they don’t quite pack the emotional punch they’re probably meant to. There are also two male POV characters, ostensibly on opposite sides, who badly run together to me as both of their chief personality traits are “murder everyone in sight.” I did enjoy one of the minor POV characters, a would-be housewife who has turned to banditry to support her family, because it was kind of intriguing how much she tells herself she’s better than those OTHER bandits when she really, really isn’t. Ultimately this book was either just a little too short or a little too grimdark for my tastes, but it was intriguing enough I can definitely see myself reading something else of Stang’s along the way.
Cool Weapon
Year of the Sword books 1-3 by Dakota Krout
Hard Mode: yes, the sword’s name is Sarge
okay I’m being a LITTLE bit cheaty here because what I actually read for bingo was Dokeshi March, book 3 in the series, but I feel like it makes more sense to do the mini-review of book 1, Lord January, so bear with me. This series. THIS SERIES. I’m not even really sure where to start. Many centuries ago, due to a conflict, the world was split into twelve districts, one for each month of the year. Each district has one defining trait that makes it stand out from the others. In District January, they grow all the food, and everyone is very much into eating as much as possible. The fatter you are, the more status you are perceived to have in January. February is the polar opposite, where everyone drinks wheatgrass smoothies and is obsessed with fitness. In March, everyone is into gambling, and so it goes. Our hero, Grant Leap, is ostracized from his native January District for only being a little bit fat and also being born on leap day which is a big no-no in Calendar Culture. All that changes, however, when he finds a magic talking sword, Sarge, who agrees to train him to become powerful, at a cost. If he doesn’t defeat all the calendar lords by the end of the year, his life is forfeit. If you think this premise sounds ridiculous, well, yes it is. It is 100% exactly as ridiculous as it sounds. And yet I could not for the life of me put it down. What can I say. I love training montages. This is a LitRPG-style progression fantasy with visible stat screens and leveling up, and I think it’s a fun, albeit ludicrous, addition to the genre. Unfortunately the series seems to be on hiatus currently while the author works on other projects, but I’ll definitely be continuing when it picks back up again.
Revolutions and Rebellions
Blade’s Edge by Virginia McClain
Hard Mode: Sort of? The action is more human-focused, but they’d not get far without the rebellion
Centuries ago, Fantasy Not Quite Japan was a brutal monarchy, ruled by a violent and corrupt mage queen. After she was defeated, the pendulum swung the other way, and now women and girls are brutally subjugated, especially those who can use magic — when magic-using girls are admitted to exist at all. Mishi and Taka were best friends in their orphanage home, each dreading the day they would be separated to be sold into either servitude or a loveless and abusive marriage. As it happens, they are both taken away on the same day, though to neither of those things. When Taka’s secret magical abilities are revealed, she is shipped off to a brutal school where women with some small magical gift are taught to be healers and midwives, but not without going through a ton of abuse first. Mishi fares better, being adopted into a warrior family who works against the patriarchal government and trains women to fight in secret. Years later, the two friends meet again when Taka flees from her evil magic school and instead joins the rebellion. I quite enjoyed this book, the way the two girls’ stories diverge and then weave back together. The pacing is tight and intriguing and there was never any point where I felt bored, and yet we are also given the space to really get to know and care about the characters. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Name in the Title
India Bones and the Ship of the Dead by Set Sytes
Hard Mode: yes
India Bones lives in a quiet portside town dreaming of a life of adventure like his famous pirate father who disappeared many years ago. His opportunity arrives when a ghost ship makes port and the ghosts and skeletons dance on the shore, and India sneaks off to join them. While he quickly finds that a ghost ship is no place for a living boy, this soon opens the door to discoveries about his past and new adventures ahead. This was a fun adventure romp, a bit disjointed as India is yanked from one misadventure to the next, but entertaining all the way through. The only slightly confusing thing about it was I was never quite sure what age group it was meant for. India himself is quite young and for a lot of the book it reads very much like a middle-grade novel, but it also has things like pre-teens getting drunk, presented uncritically. Still this made for a good pirate adventure and I plan to continue this series eventually.
Author Uses Initials
Heavy by J.J. Thorn
Hard Mode: I’m certain I have no idea
Everyone in the kingdom dreams of being granted an affinity when they turn 16 and going off to magic school. Terrence realizes that chances are he’ll never get any affinity at all, so he’s surprised and rather alarmed when he’s given a rare and unusual one: the ability to see and manipulate weight. Rarity is all well and good, but will it help him become a dungeon-crawler like he hopes? Heavy is another magic school LitRPG progression fantasy with stats and level-ups. I seemed to be big on those this Bingo. This is another book where I’m not really sure how to write a review for it. It’s definitely rough in places; the author seems to have some interesting ideas about how punctuation works, and the truth is not a whole lot HAPPENS in this book. There are hints of some sinister goings-on in the greater dungeon-delving community, but for the most part Terrence just goes to school, stands up to bullies, makes friends, and tries to figure out how to use his unusual weight powers. But you know what, despite all that, I really enjoyed this book. It was cosy and enjoyable and made me want to go to magic school, and I look forward to reading more in this series.
Published in 2022
The Blood of Crows by Alex C. Pierce
Hard Mode: yes
Ren thought his days of violence and bloodshed were over when someone finally bought out his indentured servitude as a state-sanctioned thief in a brutal army unit. Unfortunately, he was wrong. When one last thieving job goes terribly wrong and his friend and mentor goes missing, Ren finds himself framed for the murders of several prominent noblewomen. Now he has to solve the mystery and clear his name before it’s too late. This was a fun book with a fast-paced plot and a lit of twisty turns that I didn’t see coming, plus a protagonist who has a strong voice and is entertaining to read about. I liked the fact that the main character doesn’t have any magic powers in a world where everyone else does. There are some other series that do that, like Codex Alera, but it’s still rare enough to be refreshing. However it does this one thing that’s fairly common in this particular “snarky guy gets in trouble” subgenre where he simply cannot catch a break, ever, and I have to wonder how he has not collapsed from exhaustion already, not to mention how he manages to survive so many beatings. Still, a fun book and a good debut, highly recommend.
Urban Fantasy
Oath Broken by Jarryd Smith
Hard Mode: Alas, no
Once a famed monster hunter, Kaleb just wants to leave that life behind and live a normal life. But when dragged against his will to his friend’s wedding, and discovering there’s definitely something suspicious about the bridal party, he is forcefully dragged back into a life he wanted little to do with. This was an enjoyable, quick read, although I wish there were just a bit more character development as some things feel rushed and I had to scramble to remember who was who. I think this series definitely shows potential, though, and I look forward to seeing where it goes.
Set in Africa
The Windweaver’s Storm by Antoine Bandele
Hard Mode: yes
This is the second book in the TJ Young and the Orishas series. The first one, The Gatekeeper’s Staff, takes place in the United States and therefore doesn’t qualify for the Africa bingo square, but this one takes place in Nigeria and therefore does. After getting up to all kinds of heroics at summer camp last year, TJ Young has at last been offered a place at the prestigious Ifa Academy. Unfortunately, he has a lot of challenges ahead of him as his power still behaves erratically, and he made a promise to a god that he might not be able to keep. I really enjoyed this follow-up to the first book, especially the depiction of the magic school. Hogwarts has absolutely nothing on how cool Ifa Academy is. I somehow ended up reading a lot of magic school stories this year and this one was by far my favorite. The main characters’ teenage drama, while exhausting in the way that teenage drama often is, was also nonetheless well-realized and fun to read about. My only slight complaint was that I felt the ending was a little rushed, and I wanted a better explanation of certain occurrences near the end. But if you’re interested in something similar to Harry Potter or Percy Jackson with a majority-POC cast, this is the book for you.
Non-Human Protagonist
The Skin by J.E. Hannaford
Hard Mode: She does spend most of the book in human form so I’d say not really
When unscrupulous humans steal her sister’s skin, a young selkie sacrifices her own freedom so that her sister can go free. She is forced to work for the humans she despises, at least until she can win her way to freedom and get her sister’s skin back. This was a really unique book in that it combines ancient Celtic mythology with a post-apocalyptic setting, something I’d never really seen before. Also, it has selkies, who are among some of the coolest mythical creatures. But I like seals so I might be a bit biased. The story starts out with three separate timelines that then join together in the second act, and I thought that part of the storytelling was cleverly done. Selkie’s journey is a powerful one, because she starts out very angry and unwilling to trust anyone but eventually makes deep friendships as the story continues. If I were to have any nitpicks I’d say that things come together almost a little too cleanly at the end, and characters I was certain were sus turn out to be squeaky clean, but that’s hardly a massive flaw. I recommend this one to anyone who likes seals, boats, mythology, shapeshifters, or post-apocalyptic settings.

Duckett and Dyer: Dicks for Hire by G.M. Nair
Hard Mode: I’m not sure, probably not, there is some time travel
Michael Duckett is starting to get annoyed with his best friend and roommate Stephanie Dyer, who refuses to take life seriously. Whether it’s trying to get out of his dead end job or trying to find a girlfriend, it seems like she’s always ruining his plans with her antics. When they start getting contacted about an ad in the paper selling them as a pair of private detectives, he thinks it must be another prank. What he gets instead is a zany jaunt across the multiverse that will strain and perhaps save their friendship. This book was delightful overall, and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It never at any point takes itself too seriously so if you want a Super Serious Time Travel Book this probably isn’t the one for you. But it nevertheless has a lot of heart and I grew quite attached to both main characters by the end. I did think some of the multiverse destinations were just a little too zany as to strain my willing suspension of disbelief, however, such as the world with the giant hamburger monsters. Still, this book was great fun.
Five SFF Short Stories
The Alchemy of Sorrow by Various
Hard Mode: Yes
I find it hard to review short story collections because there are so many of them and each is going to have their own strengths and weaknesses. However this is one of the best short story collections I’ve read in awhile. There was not a single story in it that I found dragged at any point; I enjoyed all of them immensely and found a lot of new authors whose work I will definitely be checking out. The theme of the anthology is dealing with grief so just by definition a lot of these stories will rip your heart out and stomp on it, but there is also an undercurrent of hope throughout. 5/5, highly recommend.

The Heretic’s Guide to Homecoming by Sienna Tristen
Hard Mode: Yes
This book. OH BOY THIS BOOK. I had actually hoped to read the second book in the duology for this square but I didn’t quite finish in time, but thankfully I reread book 1 to refresh my memory going in, so I’m going to use that as my one allowed reread. Consider this a mini-review for both books, however, with the caveat that I am still working on reading the ending. Ronoah Genoveffa Ellizzi-Denna Pilanovani suffers from a lot of anxiety and self doubt. After failing as both a priest and a scholar, Ronoah finds himself lost in a foreign coffee shop, unsure what to do or how to face the future. Enter Reilin, a mysterious stranger who offers to take him to the beautiful and sacred Pilgrim State — as long as he follows a specific set of rules. Ronoah’s journey takes him half way across the world, where he encounters vibrant cultures, wonderful friends, and mysterious ancient ruins, while almost in passing discovering the lost secrets of the fallen Shalledrim empire. But if you’re looking for action and adventure around every corner, this is probably not the book for you. Ronoah’s journey is internal far more than it is external, all about figuring out who he is and what is important to him and how, at last, to have faith in himself. I fully admit that Ronoah is not the protagonist for everyone, as his internal monologue and negative self talk can be A LOT, especially in the first book. But this series is one of the most beautiful pieces of character work I’ve read in a long time, all told via beautiful, poetic prose that almost seems to sing from the page. I’d say fans of Robin Hobb will also enjoy this series.
Self-Published or Indie Publisher
Dreams of Dust by Lily Anne Crow
Hard Mode: Yes
Technically all of these books would count for this square but I will go with this one because as of typing this it only has two Goodreads reviews, one of which is mine, which is a crying shame because this book deserves better, but also means it handily counts for hard mode. Pampered city kid Thaniel Swift has studied long and hard to be a wayfinder, creating maps with his beautiful magic atlas. He’s beyond thrilled to get to go on his first expedition, only to find out he still has a lot to learn when they get sucked into a missing person investigation and find themselves pit against an undead queen who is willing to destroy the world to end her grief. This book has all the things I enjoy most in a fantasy story: secret ancient ruins, a colorful cast of characters who are suspicious of each other at first but eventually come together like family, and scary evil bad guys who commit their atrocities out of misplaced love. The world building is absolutely top notch, with a setting that feels lived in. I really wish more people would read this series so I could gush about it more.
Award Finalist, But Not Won
Shadow of a Dead God by Patrick Samphire
Hard Mode: Yes
Shadow of a Dead God was a SPFBO finalist a few years ago. It features Mennik Thorne, a down on his luck mage who gave up a life of privilege to try and make it on his own. This goes about as well as you might expect, when a routine probably-not-legal job for his oldest and best friend blows up in his face and he winds up with half the city out to get him. This book shares a lot of similarities with the Blood of Crows, reviewed above — snarky guy has a routine job go terribly wrong, gets roped into a conspiracy, and survives far more beatings than is healthy. But if I were to assign comp titles to this book I’d say it’s like the Dresden Files meets Locke Lamora. Mennik is a delightful character overall and I enjoyed being in his sarcastic head.
BIPOC Author
Guns of Penance by Mari Kurisato
Hard Mode: Yes, Mari is Nakawē Ojibwe indigenous
One of the really nice things about Bingo is that it seems like every year there’s a book I might not have necessarily picked up on my own but end up thoroughly enjoying. This book isn’t in my usual wheelhouse — ultra-violent post-apocalyptic settings are usually too edgy for me — but I’d purchased the book awhile back in order to support the author, and since I had it on my kindle anyway and it qualified for hard mode, I decided to give it a go. Wow! For a book about people murdering each other in a post-nuclear wasteland, this book was actually a ton of fun. There are four main female POV characters, whose stories weave in and out of each other: a computer scientist on the run after a major discovery, her rich heiress ex girlfriend, a drug addicted gangster looking to make a clean start, and a retired mercenary who is getting too old for this nonsense. Since all of these women are in somewhat violent roles I was worried they would start to blur together but each has a very distinct voice and was thoroughly enjoyable to read about. Highly recommended if you’re after a more diverse and female-led version of Mad Max.
Shapeshifters
Sidetracked by S.K. Kelley
Hard mode: yes
I received this book as part of an indie author Secret Santa exchange last December. Studious and socially awkward, Jayde wonders how she’s going to survive her first summer vacation in college alone without her more extroverted best friend and roommate. Her summer takes a surprising turn when she meets an attractive stranger named Ice, who turns out to be, of all things, a cat shapeshifter. She is then dragged into a complicated world of hidden supernatural happenings and soon realizes she might be well in over her head. This book starts off seeming like a fairly boilerplate supernatural romance in the vein of Twilight — awkward every-woman falls in love with super hot supernatural dude. However it becomes increasingly clear as the story goes on that this is not that kind of story. Watching the story turn from paranormal romance to paranormal thriller was really fascinating and I found myself staying up late reading just to find out what was going on. This story is incredibly slow-burn, and I worry that some potential readers might give up too soon. But I absolutely can’t wait to continue this series.
No Ifs, Ands, or Buts
No Land for Heroes by Cal Black
Hard Mode: Yes
I had to scan the list of forbidden words like six times to confirm it fits but I’m pretty sure it does. Anyway, this was an enjoyable weird western. Elven Deputy Berry is willing to do anything, even bend the law she is ostensibly sworn to protect, in order to keep her small town and her chosen family safe. But when a train robbery gone wrong pulls her back into a past she’d rather forget, she must face her demons once and for all. For the most part I really enjoyed this story throughout. There were a couple aspects that I was ehhhh on; for instance, in this setting elves take the place of Native Americans, leading me to wonder why there are no actual Native Americans (there are white and Black humans in this setting, so why not Indigenous?). I also would have liked more fantasy in my fantasy — despite there being elves and dragons and Legally Distinct Tieflings, those things almost feel like window dressing on what could have otherwise been perfectly excellent historical fiction. But No Land for Heroes nevertheless had excellent characters and an excellent plot and I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next.
Family Matters
Awakening the Gods by Kristin Gleeson
Hard Mode: …it’s complicated
Saoirse’s life has gone downhill since she graduated from university. Unable to hold down a series of dead end jobs, the only times she truly feels alive is when she is playing music at her favorite pub in Dublin. Everything is turned on its head when her father mysteriously passes away, and a woman claiming to be her grandmother offers to let her stay with her in rural Cork. There, she meets a hot blacksmith, and comes to learn that her entire life might have been constructed on lies and that she is, in fact, the reincarnation of the goddess Brigid. Unfortunately, Balor, the ancient enemy of the Irish gods, is also back in the picture, and ready to cause trouble. My favorite aspect of this book was the way it really made the setting come to life. I felt like I was there in Ireland with the characters. The romance was also well done, though I found myself getting frustrated as certain characters get angry at each other for reasons that seem irrational to the reader and aren’t explained. Still, this is a great book for anyone who likes Irish mythology, urban fantasy, and romance.
