Any interest in a chill book club? We have really elaborate games, but also ones like this... where we just yell book recs at each other!

Even if you haven't read Forth Wing... there are dragons, you can just chuck dragon books at us!

Last night I read A Polar Expedition: And Other Stimulating Research Opportunities by @kassoshire.bsky.social. Imagine if Lyra f*xked the bear in His Dark Materials. Best romance I've read in a long time. Gas lamp academia meets C.M. NasCosta. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I got accepted for an ARC of @kiwanciowrites.bsky.social's new book, Nailed at Home Plate. I love @thesavbananas.bsky.social (even if I never win tickets). This looks like such a cute read!

Best #book club with unique challenges! You won't find anything like this anywhere else. I may be biased but the book friends are better here too 😉

Catch up on The Phantom Library on Discord. Every Sunday I start a conversation. If you read this book, what other books might you like?

I was lucky to be an Arc reader of this. This series is excellent. If you like snark, second chances, and learning to love yourself for who you are, this is definitely one for you!
🔥HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥
Book 4 in my Bedeviled series is out.

If I’m a new to you author, start with BIG DEMON ENERGY(book 1).

She’s just a demon, standing in front of a vampire, trying not to punch him.

#booksky friends

I was big into booktwitter but never booktok
I'm back looking for my community. I see you!

My loves are not limited to fantasy (urban, epic, cozy & gaslamp), romance (contempt, historical & monster) and horror.

Guaranteed to recommend lesser-known books. Support indie authors! 📚💙

I finished Echoes of the Imperium last night by Nicolas and @oliviaatwater.com. It's a must-read. I read it in one sitting, couldn't put it down. It's character-driven with found family, and the plot is amazing. I actually GASPED and woke up my husband sleeping next to me twice.
