My first book vlog – Mechs, murders and (probably) mumbling!

Hello there!

So... this is me trying something new.

It's inspired by my friend, author Paul Magrs, who shares lovely bookish vlogs over on his YouTube channel. Watching him chat about what he's been reading gave me the nudge to give it a go myself.

I've a couple of projects coming up in the autumn that'll see me on camera – something that doesn't always come naturally – so this is an attempt to get comfortable in front of the lens.

Apologies in advance for all the mumbles, 'ums' and 'ers'. I'll get better. I hope. That's kind of the point – that and having an excuse to talk books!

Here are the books I mention in the video:

📚 Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

📚 Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao

📚 Skeleton Army by Alis Hawkins

And do make sure you check out Paul Magr's YouTube channel – it's a real treat.

Let me know what you think of the video (be honest!), and also what you're reading at the moment! I'm always looking for recommendations. Leave a comment in the blog or over on YouTube! Whatever's best for you!

I’m Paul Magrs - a writer based in Manchester, in the UK. I’ll be posting videos to do with reading and also maybe the books I write, too. I read in every genre and i’ve filled my house with a lifetime’s collection of books. I’m always in the midst of writing various things - my own fiction, as well as Doctor Who tie-ins, and I work on my art as well. Join me in my study with Bernard Socks - and maybe on some adventures out in the world (probably bookshopping!) too.
