    "...bullet hits a shovel, ricochets back towards number three, and that's when the roof caved in, igniting the thermos of pure grain alcohol, instantly vaporizing his bodily form, leaving nothing but a charcoal statue and a high pitched squeal. *Eeeeeeek..."*

    Day 85 of requesting _Age of Mythology_ (a full playthrough if possible)
    Today's book suggestion was something I couldn't pass up, _A Promise of Blood_ by Brian McClellan. It's a world with powder mages, just like this game... except instead of controlling bullets, these mages metabolize gunpowder to fuel their magic like if cocaine was explosive and let you move things with your mind. It's a setting full of military uprisings, revenge, families put to the sword, and politics.
