College cats of Oxford Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics. The grey ball ...

If you like cute cats with stupidly brilliant names, photographed amongst very pretty Oxford architecture, this article from @oxfordclarion.bsky.social is for you: oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...

#Booksky We’ll be at #FablesandFlames Romantasy Gala this weekend and debuting our new badge ribbons and some cool extras! Signed books make great gifts and Catherine Lundoff and Michael Merriam will be there to help! Come say hi! fablesandflames.com

I love this series! I wrote about it for @skiffyandfanty.com earlier this year.

And as @princejvstin.com pointed out, the 2025 novel means the Astreiant series, which started in 1995, will be eligible for a Best Series nomination for the Hugo Awards this year!

My wife of 29 years, bookbinder and book artist Jana Pullman, passed away in February after a long illness. She’s gotten some great memorials, including a posthumous award and a binding in a new exhibit at MN History Center. Here’s her take on that work: aboutthebinding.blogspot.com/2012/08/open...

It's his job to put them there.

#booksky #newrelease

For all of #booksky looking for that funny cathartic read about this mess we've gotten ourselves into, look no further

A bright red book cover showing a pentagon surrounded by question marks, with a trench-coated silhouette in the center: BlankAnon, by Justin Robinson. It was a simple job: invent a conspiracy. I made up QAnon and broke the world. Nobody from my old life is still speaking to me except for the ones who have nothing left to lose. I've got an alcoholic professional killer in recovery, a witch who wants me dead, and a doomsday cultist I can't trust. We have to execute a heist that just might save the world or at least settle my conscience. And that's if my own spirit guide doesn't eat my first. It's not just another day at the office. It's the last one.

Just released!

Passing thought brought on by sales figures & a book that had a dearth of official publicity: do you guys even know that Gods of the Caravan Road is a five-novel series, not four? Were you left hanging after Gods of Nabban? Moth's story continues! The Last Road. Grim. Dark. www.kvj.ca/last-road.html

Not to post spoilers or anything but someone knowing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia is a) a plot point in BlankAnon and b) a sign that the character is evil

Oh, I agree! I was privileged to publish Jessica Amanda Salmonson’s "Time-Slit Through a Rice Paper Window" in the Summer 1984 issue of Last Wave, and the final paragraph, which is not just about that story but all stories, gives me goosebumps still. A brilliant writer.

#romancelandia

This is a fun question because Blank spends pretty much all of BlankAnon dead below the waist

Excerpt from BlankAnon, which I wrote in 2021

The Leading Ladies Fantasy Bundle:
You know how it goes. There's one female character in the book, and she's a love interest. She's given little to do and less to wear. She has no good lines, and nothing to contribute save her helplessness.
These are not those stories. storybundle.com/fantasy

Mx. Phoebe's Viewpoint is Writer, Blogger, Reviewer Hi. Thanks for stopping by and considering buying me a cup of coffee. What does buying a cup of coffee do for me? It enables me to do more with my blog and of course buy more books to review. (chuckle

#Signalboost here for book reviewer @mxphoebesviewpoint.bsky.social Things are pretty tough right now and there aren’t a ton of indie book reviewers who focus on queer books. Phoebe has to choose between keeping herself and her dog fed or keeping internet access - buymeacoffee.com/phoebesrandoms

New book from me! The sequel to The Executioner's Blade, another fantasy murder mystery full of monsters & intrigue.

I'm angry and I bet you are too! Howzabout a book where somebody fights back for a change

Release day for @weirdnoirmaster.bsky.social's BlankAnon! Bob Blank returns in his most desperate adventure yet - unless his spirit guide eats him first. www.candlemarkandgleam.com/2025/11/10/r...

Coming Monday! www.amazon.com/BlankAnon-Fi... and all the usual suspects.

SO EMPHATICALLY SECONDED! One of my forever-favourites,absolutely breathtaking!

If you haven't read The Map and the Territory by @amtuomala.bsky.social, then I strongly recommend you do. A beautifully written story about living and finding meaning when the world is falling apart, and how community can save you in more ways than one.

#Booksky In honor of Catherine Lundoff’s upcoming reading at DreamHaven Books in Minneapolis on 11/12, and in recognition of the numerous glowing scammy emails we’re getting about it, may we recommend her collection OUT OF THIS WORLD? Queer fantasy and sf short stories! books2read.com/b/3J88zg

Our publisher blurbed this book and thinks you would like it too! Happy book birthday, @bogiperson.bsky.social!
