Reading “Mother is Watching” by Karma Brown while it’s 46 degrees outside. Questioning my decision to buy a chilly drink 😱🥶

💙📚🩸

Don’t mind me. Just drooling over this ARC of “Operation Bounce House” by Matt Dinniman 🧡🤤 Thank you @mattdinniman.bsky.social & @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social!

💙📚🪐

• “The Wax Child” by @olgaravn.bsky.social
• “The Unworthy” by @agustinabazterrica.bsky.social
• “The Lamb” by @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social

Life has been doing its thing, but I’ve finally created space enough to breathe. Indulging in a lazy morning with a coffee and “Overgrowth” by Mira Grant (@seananmcguire.bsky.social). I love plant aliens 💙📚🩸

Is this what they mean when they say, “That girl has range”? 😂 (It isn’t.)

• “Siddhartha” by Hermann Hesse
• “Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees” by Patrick Horvath

💙📚🩸

Thrilled to serve as a judge for #SFINCS3! 💙📚🩸🪐

Indie authors don’t receive the recognition they deserve. #SFINCS encourages indie spec fic authors to share their stories with a community eager to hear them.

Thanks to the 100 authors who took the leap. I feel honored to read your creations.❤️

Don’t mind me. Just over here growing my Le Guin, @sgj.bsky.social, @agustinabazterrica.bsky.social, & @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social collections.

August top reads 📚💙🩸🪐

1. Just a guy with a dream who can’t catch a break. Cue that Chumbawamba track.
2. Beware of secret doors to alternate Earths, talking marmots, and being pouched. You may like the pouch though.
3. I also love my sister, cats, and intimidating those who derail my routine.

Oh, we buddy reading 📚🩸

“Between Two Fires” by @buehlmeister.bsky.social

On average, 9/10 books I read are fiction. Call it escapism, if you must.

With nonfiction, I tend to be drawn to themes of interconnection and equality, which naturally lend themselves to social justice and the natural environment. Hoping for a glimpse of hope in “The Serviceberry” 📚💙💡🌱

The Wheel made me do it. The Wheel knows what I crave. The Wheel is omniscient.

Next ARC read = "You Did Nothing Wrong" by CG Drews 🩸📚 💙📚

The latest PDX heatwave was followed by overcast skies and #Summerween cravings. You can find me tucked into a corner at the book pub with “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” by Shirley Jackson for company 💙📚 🩸📚

Tenderly, I am about to devour this raspberry lemon poppyseed donut 🍩 🩸📚

Is there really a better way to start the weekend than with coffee and a good book? 😍 @rebeccabrodkey.bsky.social

Here’s my recent #LOTR rebind feat. the One Ring, the two towers, the crown of Gondor, and a bookmark with the 9 rings for mortal men. Be warned: one does not simply transcribe into #Tengwar.

Any guesses on what the back cover says?

Niamh is GIVING in FOTF—magic, games and trials, political intrigue, plot twists and betrayals, and the most deliciously torturous slow burn.
