An astute financial decision.

Frankie @poisonfrankie.bsky.social · 3d

On a strict budget right now (I thought the horror of the month would be the movies I'm watching but turns out it's vet bills as well), but I decided to treat myself to a book. Heard good things about this and I was instantly sold on riding giant lizards (& the beautiful cover!)

Paperback of The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford

WHAT COMES BEFORE by Molly Macabre is a great little horror novella with few answers, immaculate vibes.

THE BONE RAIDERS by @realjacksonford.bsky.social was an absolute banger, can't wait for more.

SKYFOLD by @timmckay52.bsky.social is a fun fantasy heist novella with a neat setting.

As if on cue, the chatgpt-powered book "marketers" are oozing into my inbox.

Author buddies: if someone named "Ashley Monroe" sends you an email offering to market your book, tell em to get fucked.

ARC REVIEW: THE BONE RAIDERS OR… WOW!!!

Hello everyone! I hope your week is going well! In the last couple of days, we had some really autumnal weather, and I am pretty happy about it (going to work while it pours down is not fun, but at this moment, I don't really care), and I am quite excited to be sharing my last review for August! It was a fun ride (no pun intended), and it was quite a surprising read!

THE BONE RAIDERS is an epic fantasy with tons of heart, equal parts serious and fun. I had a great time in the Tapestry, and can’t wait to see what Jackson Ford does with the sequel. 🪐📚💙 #BookReview

Chunky mash with lots of liquid. Owwww.

Jackson Ford @realjacksonford.bsky.social · Sep 10

I once made fermented chilli sauce. You have to weigh the mash down with a thick glass weight while it ferments.

I lifted the weight up to check the mix. It slipped. Splashed in and launched a gob into my eye.

My brain went to the edge of the universe.

Didn't realize there was a chili flake on the top of my finger and rubbed my eye.

0/10 stars do not recommend.

Just finished Project Hail Mary on audio, which was ok but felt like The Martian 2. Fabulous narrator though. Currently reading The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford

That's nothing. Page 444 is really going to bake your noodle.

It's 2a.m, my husband is sound asleep and I am trying to sob quietly.

Because of page 364 of the Bone Raiders.

This is a fantastic book.

Do I have readers in Australia? Will I commit a horrible cultural faux pas? Is this event going to become a strange urban legend in the area where nobody really knows what happened but everybody has a theory?
