In Greek Mythology there was a god named Atlas. He was the heavy lifter of the ancient world. Keeping the sky from falling to earth by holding it up on his shoulders, Often shown like this..  That is until Heracles saved him by building the two great Pillars to hold the sky away from the earth, I think I have found one of those pillars!!  It used to be called my  To Be Read pile. Yes even though I have read 275 books around 100,000 pages in 2016 my TBR pile is higher than ever. So I am changing the name of my TBR to  A.T.L.A.S

“Why does it mean?”

Well just like the pillars that saved Atlas my TBR pile is really tall.  But that’s not why I am calling it ATLAS. No  ATLAS is an acronym for

ALL TOO LARGE A STACK

And I never cared for the term Book haul so they will now be called an ATLAS POST.

“What the hell is that supposed to stand for?”

Believe it or not I am glad you asked that question Bob

  ATLAS POST is an Acronym for

   ADDING TO LARGE ASS STACK     PROBABLY OUGHT to STOP THIS

So lets go forthwith  straightaway, and without adding any additional ado,

I give you my first   ATLAS POST.

I need to thank the nice folks over at TOR Books and Wendell the man under the cloak at BookWraiths for my copy of Arcanum Unbounded by Brandon Sanderson. It is beautiful!

Then I need to thank Bob Skull, my writing partner (the crazy voice in my head) for the wonderful Birthday present! He got me Lucky number #1313 of the already sold out limited Dragonsteel edition of Mistborn: The Final Empire. It is 672 gilded pages of  perfection . Printed in 2-color offset black and red inks with a satin-ribbon bookmark. It has two-color foiling on its beautiful leather cover .With tons of never-before seen artwork and a new 2-page map of the Final Empire. I am in love with this book!

Thanks Bob! Sorry I yell at you all the time.

So to help me and you get things done and organized shoot me a email and let me know your book is missing.

And here are more pictures of Bob, my pretty book, and some swords.
