I inly heard about them reading the blurb for the author at the end of the book. I’m going to watch some of them when I get to the hotel!

I just finished Strange Houses by Uketsu. Devoured it on the flight to Denver. Gotta get my mits in Strange Pictures. If you like multimodal mystery stories (graphs, pictures and text in this instance), you’ll really like this one. Definitely for fans of HorroStör

The Fox is free! Today my debut, Audition For The Fox, is officially out in the world. Magic. Fables. Time travel. And the many ways even a goofball can resist oppression & fight tyranny.

Thank you to everyone who had a paw in bringing this into the world & supporting it. Forever grateful, I am 🦊💜

Finished cover and copy for Audition for the Fox, on a table.

What are you reading over this long weekend?

I’m enjoying Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett

If you are looking for some comfort books, I would recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl and We’ll Prescribe You a Cat.

Highly recommend!

Helene @helene333.bsky.social · Aug 5

Very glad I went ahead and bought all three Danielle Cain books by @margaret.bsky.social instead of just dipping my toe in with the first one. They're all quick reads and very hard to put down!

Then, instead of going Mad Max, humanity decides to take their advice, and create a sustainable and cooperative society.

That’s just the backstory of the Monk and Robot duology by Becky Chambers. It’s full of hope and humor. Highly recommended. Only $18.99.

Monk and Robot: A Psalm for the Wild-Built and a Prayer for the Crown-

I was going to only feature a hardback of A Psalm for the Wild Built, but instead went with this new paperback release of the duology. Anecdotally, people who read A Psalm for the Wild Built re-read i...

Imagine this:
A world depends on fossil fuels and robots for manufacturing. One day, these robots gain sentience. BUT instead of going Terminator on humans, they look around and say,” y’all got stuff to work on,” and walk into the wilderness.

Your niblings might love Tea Dragon Society. Less action than Margo Maloo, but it does have former adventurers!

This might be a reach, but here me out: Vanessa Yu is a romance with enough magic in it that I didn’t get weird feelings and stop reading. I’m not sure if that’s the case for you when reading romance, but I can rarely finish them. You would also LOVE Mosscap in Monk and Robot.

This cover is also just great

The cover of Before the Coffee Gets Cold. It features a table with two chairs over a brocade blue background. There is a brown cat under the table.
