Looking for a new mystery series. Cozy is ok, but I prefer noir or pulpier stories.
Bonus points for #indieauthors .

This was my last read of 2025 and I have to say one of the best. It captivated my attention instantly - It kept me guessing right the way through; I certainly didn't see the ending coming. #TheHousemaid #BookRec 📖📚

CINDER HOUSE by Freya Marske is exactly the fairytale I needed today. A couple of different queernesses wrapped up in vivid characters, and some lovely descriptions of dancing. #BookRec

If you're looking for a book to teach you something about Palestine, or more specifically what it says about a person, a country how they treat Palestinians, then Perfect Victims by Mohamed El-Kurd looks promising https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2499-perfect-victims #bookrec #palestine

I’ve never had a favorite of most things. Usually a “top 3” is the most I can winnow things down.

I have a favorite writer. Percival Everett.

A thumbnail image of cover art for Wounded by Percival Everett. A black cover with the authors name and in white, the title in red and at the very bottom, just a sliver of the side of a horse’s face in black and white, just one eye looking out, as though the viewer were looking up from below the horse and seeing dark sky above it.

What children's books are you most looking forward to seeing this year?

One of the books I'm most looking forward to in 2026 is Lydia Loves Bugs by @heidieys.bsky.social and Yuliya Pankratova.

One girls love for bugs gets to be shared with everyone (family who DON'T love bugs).

SARAFINA by @pfracassi.bsky.social: a terrific ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ supernatural tale set against the US Civil War. For the Belle brothers fleeing the horrors of war may lead them into even worse horrors.

Paperback releases in April from @clashbooks.bsky.social

💙📚🩸📚 #booksky #horrorbooks #bookreview #bookrec
An image of Richard Quist's Goodreads review of Sarafina by Philip Fracassi. The text of the review is: Sarafina by Philip Fracassi is an incredible tale set in the American South during the Civil War. The three Belle brothers, Mason, Archie and Ethan make a desperate decision to escape the horrors of war, little knowing the horrors they would escape into. Chased by the Confederate Home Guard as deserters they find refuge in an apparent idyllic setting: an isolated farm inhabited only by the beautiful Sarafina and her young son Titus. Sarafina provides protection, healing, food and shelter to the brothers. As they begin to recover from their harrowing escape and Sarafina's influence on his older brothers grows, Ethan begins to suspect that things aren't quite as they seem. The more he learns and sees, the more convinced he becomes that they need to leave... but that may not be possible. Fracassi delivers an exciting story with compelling and complex characters who aren't all what they seem, with an ending that was both surprising and haunting. I found it difficult to put the book down the deeper into it I got. Recommended.

Can someone please recommend a good omegaverse fic or book? Every time I've read one this year, I end up having a mental breakdown and I must know if it's a me problem or an author problem.
