I'm not one to sit and listen to an audiobook, I always have to be multitasking while listening. If you listen to audiobooks, do you also have to multitask?

I've got another #SFINCS review for you, folks!

I don't often read horror, but stories like these definitely make me think I should delve into the genre more.

Full review ⬇️

Cover of Reap, Sow by S.H. Cooper: An elderly woman with stark white hair screaming with a dark hallway behind her Genre: Horror Summary review: Reap, Sow is a surreal tale written with beautiful and evocative prose. While the ending was perhaps a little predictable, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the story, as Cooper pulled me from scene to scene with some of the most imaginative turns of phrases and descriptions that I could practically feel and hear. For those that love horror with a strong psychological element and speculative elements akin to magical realism, REap, Sow is sure to please.

It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and we do take a little time for reading ourselves, too.

Today, we have a review of The Drowned Heir, by @authorizedmusings.bsky.social, which is also a contender in the SFINCS novella competition.

It's cold and wintery outside. A perfect day for coffee and a good book. I'm going to sneak in some Final Fantasy Tactics too. #booksky💙📚🪐

Writing Tip:
When your readers (test readers or real) give you feedback you don't like, that COULD just be your ego talking. But it might also be bad feedback. That exists too. Learning to spot the difference takes a long time as well as being able to trust yourself.

Writing Tip:
One of those untold skills helpful to a writer is 'writer's instinct'. It's when you can tell at a glance whether a scene is working or not. And the only way to get that is through experience and practice. And each instinct is unique to each person.

I might have just bought the audiobook for Brigands & Breadknives because I didn't want to wait for 37 people ahead of me on the library wait list. 🤣

🚨 AUTHORS AND WRITERS 🚨 📚💙

The #1 rule of #booksky is that your self promotional posts may not outnumber your other posts to the feed and almost all of you are in violation of this rule!

I get so many complaints about this - it's ruining the feeds and driving everyone's sales down too.

Setting realistic goals is an important part of being a writer. Taking the time to map out a few (3-4 max for me) short and long term goals will help you stay motivated and on track.

I finished Sleep Like Death. While this one didn't have the same impact for me as Cinderella is Dead the FMC was a total badass. I really enjoyed her and the fun twist on Snow White. I just adore fairytale retellings. #booksky
