Previously, our monthly round ups and progress reports were scattered over multiple platforms which required different word counts and formatting. This became silly. This year I'm going to keep all these long reports hosted on my website.05 Feb 2026 18:43 +0000at://did:plc:bqoo2nds6ecmt67c7bchwkby/app.bsky.feed.post/3me52b52rbc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelrmiller.bsky.social/post/3m7jutmqry22cAs I passed my 10 year anniversary recently, I've been trying to pull all my stats and get a look at the BIG picture.

Moving onto book 2 now. I'm enjoying these A LOT but they aren't for folks who don't like POV changes 🤣😅 You've been warned if so! What are we all reading or listening to this week? #booksky07 Oct 2025 16:47 +0000at://did:plc:bqoo2nds6ecmt67c7bchwkby/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2mldp72xk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelrmiller.bsky.social/post/3m2awbsa7l22w🐦‍🔥 🔥 Annnnd here is the Phoenix General Sale 🐦‍🔥 🔥 I think the dust jacket art for Unbound wins as the coolest Holt & Ash artwork yet? It's extremely vibey for sure - kinda wish the regular cover had a pose like that. The sprayed edge on Unbound is also sick - great to see Brode's sword getting a nod.03 Oct 2025 01:31 +0000at://did:plc:bqoo2nds6ecmt67c7bchwkby/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2awbsa7l22whttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelrmiller.bsky.social/post/3m263vibmls2fOctober 10th.

I really don't know what runs through his mind. Is that comfortable there? Anyway, I am reading the Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and really enjoying it.

These are normal ones, but they're posher than usual (thanks to some help from The Broken Binding) higher quality paper - hence why they look extra CHONKY!19 Sep 2025 19:04 +0000at://did:plc:bqoo2nds6ecmt67c7bchwkby/app.bsky.feed.post/3lz7klhb7ts2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelrmiller.bsky.social/post/3lyvcczcve22uIt's actually finally here. 2 years of work.
