Books I Love
Why have I included this section? Well it's because I take a lot of inspiration from the things I love, be it a good DnD campaign, a good book, anime, movies etc. It doesn't matter! So I thought i'd include this section about the things I love so you can see where my story inspiration and writing style comes from. If you like any of the following, then you might just like my books too.
Cradle Series (Will Wight) - The only indie author currently on this list, Will Wight's Cradle series is like reading an anime. The world, magic system and the characters are incredible and each story leaves you wanting more.
Mistborn (Brandon Sanderson) - This was the first Sanderson series I ever read and I fell in love with the setting, magic system and the whole idea of a heist in a fantasy world. Absolute must read.
Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) - I love the entire series. I read these as a child and they're the only books I have re-read until the pages turned yellow. By the way, I'm a Slytherin (according to pottermore).
The Witcher: The Last Wish (Andrzej Sapkowski) - This was the first Witcher book I read and I love it. I haven't read many short story collections, but I really enjoyed this. The world building, the originality mixed with folk law and the believable character's make this a must read for me.
The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins) - Huge fan of these books. I bought them in my late teens and stayed up all night finishing the first one. It was the first time I'd ever done that so they'll always have a special place on my shelf.
The Mortal Instruments (Cassandra Clare) - I loved this series, it was the characters for me that made it. It's a little different from what I normally read but Clare kept me coming back so what can I say?
The Divergent Series (Veronica Roth) - I read these whilst I was at university and I fell in love with how imaginative the first book was. I know a lot of people compare this series to The Hunger Games and I get why, but these books are still awesome.
Mythos (Stephen Fry) - You might be able to tell if you've read ODINSALL (or just seen the title), I love mythology. Fry takes the some of the best stories from Greek mythology and re-writes them to be more accessible and enjoyable for a modern audience.
1984 (George Orwell) - You might have noticed that this is the only classic on my list. That's not because I don't like other classics, it's just that this book was my favourite of the ones I studied at school and it really sparked a love of writing in me. Before reading this, books were good stories and escapism, but 1984 is an example of how to do that AND add a bigger message.
There are so many more I could add to this list but I didn't wanna drone on too much.

Video Games I love
The Witcher 3 - Probably obvious if you read the section above, but yeah, Witcher 3 is awesome.
Fallout - I've been playing these since I was a kid and they're really good. I'm a huge fan of RPG's and Fallout is among the best.
The Outer Worlds - Made by obsidian (the same company who made Fallout: New Vegas) this game is really good. You can tell it was made on a budget, but the satirical story writing and action is good enough that you won't care.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Hold on, don't throw that rotten tomato! I know, I know, Cyberpunk had an awful launch and couldn't deliver a lot of what was promised. However, if you forget about that and play the updated version with the bug patches, it's actually not that bad.
Pokémon Fire Red - An oldie but a goodie. The earlier Pokémon games were amazing. I spent so many hours glued to my Gameboy screen as a kid and I was always playing this.
Deathloop - Interesting take on he groundhog day theme with great combat and a witty main character.
Assassin's Creed - I've been a fan of this series since I was a kid and I still am. The way they fit an illuminati Dan Brown style narrative around real historical figures and events is brilliant.
The Elder Scrolls - Unpopular opinion: Oblivion was better than Skyrim if you ignore the graphics.
There are a lot of other games I could add to this but I just don't have the spare time to write a 50,000 word list when I should be writing.

Board Games / Card Games I Love
Dungeons & Dragons - I only recently got into this thanks to a good friend of mine teaching me, creating a tutorial story and being out DM. However, I think I've been missing out for years cause DnD is great fun, especially after a few drinks.
Cards Against Humanity - No house party is complete without it.
Risk - Takes a long time to play but it's a great strategy game for when you're craving a stress headache.
Card Against Disney - I'm starting a bit of a card game theme here.
Monopoly - Classic family night in vibes. I'm especially fond of the versions that have special rules and how this game will really let you get to know people. Think you know your wife? Wait until you owe her rent money in the game and she asks you to sell a kidney.
Cards Against Star Wars - Ok, I'll stop now.
Ok, I think that's enough procrastinating for one day, time to stop making lists and start writing the next book!
