Yesterday I got book mail for my birthday!

Love time travel, and this book hooked me from the preface.

Read the first pages of Hive by @dlorton.com , and wow, it hit hard fast!

Very exciting to dive into this one.

Thank you @beardofdarkness.bsky.social for sending this my way.

I am thoroughly enjoying “The Rift Walker” series by @clayharmon2.bsky.social. The first book, “Flames of Mira” has become one of the most visually engaging stories with the most compelling characters I’ve read in a while.

Now, I’ve found a new author, a bunch of her previous work to read, and will be chatting with her on May 31st. Each and every part of what goes into writing and its many other aspects like cover art & design is important and a possible, impactful possibility to attract new readers! #beardofdarkness

The book, “King’s Dragon” by @kateelliottsff.bsky.social, below I randomly saw in a booktube video, zoomed in to see who the author was, and then instantly ordered it based SOLELY off its beautiful cover.

Indeed, BUT compared to the story it’s like frolicking through daisies under the rainbow on a pure bred Unicorn. 🦄 #grimdark #godbling #amreading @michaelvadney.bsky.social

Whoah…this one is ALL the DARKNESS! If you’re a Grimdark/Dark Fantasy fan, DO NOT sleep on “Godblind (Book 1 of The Godblind Trilogy)” by Anna Stephens! #annastephens #grimdark #fantasybook

I predict all who love horror/SFF literature will soon be familiar with greatness that is Phillip Fracassi’s prose. Pick a book, you can’t go wrong. I recommend reading THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE I just finished. It’s out 9/30 #amreading @torbooks.bsky.social @pfracassi.bsky.social

I am curious, how long did you wrestle with taking the leap & beginning your first piece of writing? ✍️ #amwriting #Bibliophile

I had to take a minute, drop my Kindle, and let you all know what an amazing experience, atmosphere, and the authors ability to make me FEEL is just MAGNIFICENT. I am truly inspired by “It Wants Us Alive” by @rebeccacantrell.bsky.social 😵. HOLY ****! #amazingread #amreading #itwantsusalive
