Hi #booksky and #romancelandia! I'm Leslie René! I write SFF and romance. By day, I'm a science writer in oncology. I wrote a cozy romantasy called MAGGIE & ARTHUR'S MAGIC MOMENT that I'll be able to share more about soon.
Hoping to connect with old friends and make new ones, so please say hi 👋

So thrilled to share the cover for my debut novel, MAGGIE AND ARTHUR'S MAGIC MOMENT! When two grumpy professors at a magical college are forced into tight quarters, they'll have to defeat a dangerous spell that has overtaken their academic building—if they can handle the shared office hours first. ✨

Chelsea is such an amazing writer! Her book is an incredible, propulsive romantasy that I can't put down!
BRIDGE KINGDOM x CRESCENT CITY
Monster hunter August Finch is hardly thrilled to work with the most feared monster of all to catch her mom’s killer. But as they close in on answers, she realizes there’s more to the murder—and to the monster she’s falling for.

After watching back to back, I think S2 of Andor is better. S1 maybe has more memorable moments (Maarva's funeral, the prison) but S2 tells a more cohesive story and has incredible performances by Luna, Dulau, Arjona, and O'Reilly that rely less on monologues than on more quiet, physical acting.

Now that I've finished, this was about ANA MARÍA AND THE FOX by @lianainbloom.bsky.social. When Gideon said, "Marry me instead" I was giggling and kicking my feet. It's so good!
I love romance novels so much because there is nothing quite like encountering a beloved trope and it feeling like a delightful surprise.

I've been rewatching LOST and what show is doing it big like this now? Cinematic, original score, spooky and mysterious? I haven't been able to watch a lot of recent television, but Severance is the one I could think of (though Lost is more campy than Severance)
