I would tell you to get excited but this is all about a slowdown event 🤣 #cozyfantasy
Would you like to slow down? Have you been running fast since the start of the Autumn season?

I feel really honored to be participating with the hearthcon panel about #cozyfantasy community. Is there something you've noticed about our community that's different from others?

I've told my friends and family...

... that I will be UNAVAILABLE while I roll around in all the #COZYFANTASY GOODNESS on 11-12 Oct! 😂

There's only one week left until the two biggest cozy fantasy events of the year. Have you told your friends and family yet? maybe putting hearthcon to stream on your TV? Got your pajamas laundered, tea brewing, e-reader ready? Preparing your space is an act of self respect❤️

We're all going to be smothered by our TBR piles by the end of October! Three great events to pick up some new books. ❤️

There are several indie author events this month. Here are three that I know of. My book, Grave Hounds, will be free during the Cozy the Day Away sale. ✨️ #booksky #fantasy #reading #stuffyourkindle

Alicia Warne @aliciawarne.bsky.social · 5d

Great to see so many new #cozyfantasy authors making their debut in the Cozy The Day Away group sale. 🎉👏 🎉👏🎉

Plenty to dig into, whether you're a reader who's new to the sale or one whose TBR pile is already teetering dangeously thanks to past sales.

Yes, not just #cozyfantasy #ebooks but also around a dozen #audiobooks!

Get them on 11-12th October at cozyfantasysale.promisepress.org

(Though my favourite format is ebooks. Love that I can carry around so many books on my ereader and always have access to something that matches my mood.)

Alicia Warne @aliciawarne.bsky.social · 7d

Almost too much #cozyfantasy at once...?

Nah, it's impossible to have too much #cozyfantasy!

Get your cozy on at
cozyfantasysale.promisepress.org and www.lazydragonbooks.com/hearthcon-2025

P.S. One week left for authors to join the Cozy the Day Away sale and get their books listed! 📚💙

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Going to be the best #cozyfantasy weekend ever! #hearthcon AND #cozythedayaway combined!

Plus not many group sales have audiobooks and paperbacks as well as ebooks, but this one does! (And plenty of ebooks, too! Many free or 99c)

If I'm getting the emoji strings right (no guarantee of that...) it should make the post turn up in various feeds like cozy fantasy, sci fi/specfic and queer SFF (so extending its reach beyond my followers.)

Uh, at least, that's what I think I'm doing 😂
