I’m loving the book and horror community here on Bluesky. So much to read coming up…
Five more 2025 books that I’ve read and can safely say will blow your horror loving minds! 2025 is going to suck in so many ways but not when it comes to reading!! @chuckwendig.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @rebelsam94.bsky.social

The best thing about Bluesky so far is how much has been added to my ‘to be read’ and ‘to be watched’ lists. Thanks to #booksky and #horrorsky. Escapism FTW!
