Stephen King Gets Away with Breaking Rules in The Eyes of the Dragon (Spoilers) Sandy Lender 2024-09-26 | #sandysaysread #bookreview #dragonFor the next book in our #DragonReadingChallenge, we have “The Eyes of the Dragon” by Stephen King from 1987. This review-and-discussion includes spoilers (because it was released over 30 years ago) and my gushing excitement over the story and characters. I enjoyed the story greatly, although we will go into some of the bits that took me out of the story because this is a discussion.If y’all get nothing else out of this review, let me remind you of this: Demons are bad. If your bad guy is a demon, that’s why he’s bad.Here’s the link to generate YOUR SandySaysRead Bingo card: bingobaker.com/#65e5143d62d069e7BTW: I realized after recording that I gave you the “end” of the spider info-dump example around the 12:45 mark and could’ve given you a hundred other examples of info-dumping that were better. Sorry about that.Also: I’ve fixed the wiring in the “studio,” but the internet gave me a problem around the 52-minute mark. It clears up pretty quickly. Sorry about that, too. The point I’m making there is Flagg went after Thomas and manipulated that kid at every turn.Time Stamps:0:01 – intro, Bingo, newsletter2:00 – the specs, Sandy Synopsis4:30 – make the book naked, dive in11:45 – it was acceptable in the 80s30:09 – characters & plot points48:10 – demon rant54:20 – redemption comes#booktube #StephenKing #fantasy #YAfantasy #books #readingcommunity #yearofthedragon2024 Remember that my sponsor at this time is my own SandySaysRead merch shop, where you can find bookish, dragon-related, and inspirational items for the readers in your life. sandysaysread.myspreadshop.comSome ways to get more bookly with Author Sandy Lender…EPIC FANTASY NOTICE: bit.ly/ChoicesAnnouncedAuthor Newsletter: bit.ly/SSReNewsAuthor Page: amzn.to/3F2WKwOWebsite: sandylenderink.comMerch Shop: sandysaysread.myspreadshop.comOnweald Scents: shadowflamecreations.com/choices-collaborationHere’s the whole playlist for the reading challenges and reviews in the Clock and Dragon and Christmas Reading Challenges so far this year: youtube.com/watch?v=RLl-0cNS0js&list=PLoQ6a0FHi22aQujjGaFdbB_gdwHSKpA7N

Frog Prince Embedded in Audio Book Review of Assistant to the Villain (with spoilers) Sandy Lender 2024-09-11 | #sandysaysread #bookreview #audiobookWe discuss many plot points (and my woeful experience with the narrator) in "The Assistant to the Villain," so beware of spoilers! You can check out the cover on Amazon or wherever fine books are sold. The second book "The Apprentice to the Villain" is out now and I'm not really invested in the characters enough to dive into it.I think this was supposed to be a romantasy novel, but, thank God, there was NOT a bunch of gratuitous sex. There is SA, off page, and referenced prior to the start of the story, that the MC overcomes, so be aware of that situation...it's complex.

How to Use Marathon Writing to Get High and Write More Books Sandy Lender 2024-08-25 | #sandysaysread #booktube #writingMarathon Writing Gets You High!Published Author Sandy Lender shares how to prepare for marathon writing and how to use marathon writing for a variety of personal writing goals. With a list of writing marathons to check out, a guide for preparing for any creative marathon, and a discussion of the tips and tricks for preparing for and using a short marathon versus a longer marathon, Sandy shares the information typically offered in her in-person workshops including a peek at her writing enclave.STATEMENT: I want to make it clear that this video was recorded and uploaded prior to the #nanowrimo statement showing the organization's stance supporting the use of AI instead of your creative brain. I had reason to believe the organization had "cleaned house" and resolved some issues with alleged racism and predatory behaviors in its moderator and other structures from recent years, thus I was willing to at least discuss the positives of the month-long writing community concept. Now I'm just done with the thing. Done.
