A Letter From An Unknown Woman by Stefan Zweig

An intimate and psychologically intriguing story about obsessive love and self-sacrifice, a vivid depiction of how much someone can matter to a person and how little that person can matter in return

3) All Systems Red by Martha Wells

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fun short story. I’m invested in The Murderbot Diaries and get why it’s getting a tv series. I’ll be reading more for sure.

Go ahead and be jealous—I just grabbed S.A. Barnes' (@authorstaceykade.bsky.social) newest book Cold Eternity on launch day! Bonus: she's a librarian when she isnt writing interstellar horror, so it's the perfect way to celebrate National Library Workers Day! #BookSky 💙📚 #TLSky
A man with glasses is holding up a copy of the book Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes in front of his face, with wide, excited eyes visible above the book. The cover of the sci-fi thriller features the tagline "No one gets out alive" and shows a shadowy figure in a dark, eerie environment.

Book 10: Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark
Feb 9th
4.25⭐️

A southern horror world where the KKK are being used by actual demons with a sprinkle of cosmic and body horror. I really enjoyed it; so glad I finally read it. Also, please give me an entire novel about Dr. Bisset and the Night Doctors. 🩸📚 💙📚
The cover of the novel Ring South by P. Djeli Clark. The cover is blood red with the triangle hood of a Klu Klux Klan member staring forward. Where the eyes are supposed to be, two mouths with black lips and white teeth sit. Two black hands raise up, thumbs facing us, indicating we are the, cupping the words of the title and framing the KKK monster.

Finished “In Praise of Poison Ivy.” Good read! A written history about the plant began with Captain John Smith only a few hundred years ago. I was hoping for older or indigenous info on the plant. Regardless it was enough to change how I view the plant for the better. 7/10.

No. 8 - 🌈📚 Incredible writing & world building on this one, & a brutal & twisted story spanning two timelines, a dreamworld, a theater space, & a whole country. Two warriors on a mission to save a goddess, but so much more too. Bending style magic was a cool element. TW:VIOLENT
