#TressoftheEmeraldSea by #BrandonSanderson has a lighter more comedic tone despite the action sequences definitely landing more Adult. If you've bounced off of Sanderson books before like I have, this one stuck for me. I think it's a good mostly singular story with a fun worldbuilding idea. 📚💙

it takes more than relative size to be considered one of the faire folk, but it does provide a metaphor for why they have special skills of their own #bookwormsat #booksky

I spend my days walking old postal paths in Britain that were once walked by rural postmen and women. In the evening, I handwrite letters.

The Black Country Wraiths by @bradthomasauthor.bsky.social has hit the world 😱

3 friends venture into the abandoned coal mines. They don’t expect the whispers or the shadows that move on their own.

'It is a most noble ruin, of immense size, and full of beautiful and romantic bits; there is a legend that a white lady is seen in one of the windows.'

Mina Harker describes the Whitby Abbey in her diary in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Lady Hilda? See Alt-text for more.

While there's no concrete evidence that Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley had known the Golem legend when she wrote Frankenstein, many researches found similarities in themes. Particularly the theme of the hubris of man, and the attempt to create life in a godlike manner. 📚💙

In Jewish legend the Golem is a creature, usually a humanoid figure made of clay and brought to life by the power of the written word either inscribed on its forehead or inserted into its mouth. The legend dates back to the 12th century. 💙📚 #booksky

Tired of lying awake at 3 am raging about how shit everything is? Like to have something to read instead?

How about a bundle of great fiction about authoritarian regimes and heroes who stick knives in evil systems?

Absolutely wonderful -- and well deserved -- news of IWTTO being shortlisted for Best Anthology at the British Fantasy Awards. Well done to everyone involved, and especially to Bona Books's fantastic team.
I Want That Twink… Nominated?! 🤯

We’re over the moon (and beyond) that IWTTO! is a finalist at the BFAs.

Looking for recommendations for a better alternative to Goodreads that doesn't use AI. I was thinking of Storygraph but apparently that's using AI now? Tired of algorithms tbh.

A must-read for lovers of Keats. I listened to the #audiobook, which is perfect. Endymion is one of the 9 poems explored deeply in this book.

I severed a leaf from its tree
And a water-drop in the green flagon Cupped a hunted bit of your smile. All things about me were steeped in your remembrance
And shivering as they tried to tell me of it.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
