Congrats to Susanne for winning yesterday's challenge! #AMoRaR
Depends on the Fae. Into the Darkbower by @mcburnellauthor.bsky.social has a very dark take on Fae. Definitely would choose the vampires over those.
Daily Challenge 25: Fae or Vampire - Would you rather be kidnapped by the Fae or a vampire coven?

Can you recommend an indie book featuring Fae or Vampires?

I missed this when it was first posted, but that won't stop me from sharing it now.

How do you deal with a book hangover?
I usually just have to wait a bit, at least until the next day, to start a new one.

A Small Bronze Carriage on the Mantelpiece by MG Mason @chaoticauthor.online

There are many wonderful and amazing short stories and novellas out there, both from indies and TradPub, but this one will very likely own the top spot in my personal favs-list forever. 🥰

It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and I just secured a batch of leftover pastries from the cafe on the corner.

That'll go fine with this interview with Nicole Evans ( @thoughtsstained.bsky.social ) while the rain is coming down hard outside.
