Oh. Wow! I don't know what to say.

From the first time I read the original Dracula more years ago than I care to remember, I never cared for the "band of heroes." Heroes never let the so-called monsters tell their side of the story.

Thank you for sharing this. What a wonderful thing to wake up to this morning.

Early that morning, I have yet another doctor's appointment, so I'll already be out. I'll find a coffee shop or camp out at the library for a few hours.

Can hardly wait! I'm thinking of leaving the house that day so I can read without my husband interrupting me! 😄

You're welcome ☺️

Once you publish it, I'll read it. Hope that helps!

Getting on Bluesky is as dangerous for my bank account as walking into a bookstore. Every time I open the app, I wind up buying at least a couple of books!

Yes, they are. But, there are so many of them! 😄

Just my thing!

Time to get off Bluesky. I've been on here less than 30 minutes in total today and have bought three books.

Talk about serendipity! I was thinking about this book earlier this week but couldn't recall the name or the author. I should have bought it a year ago after I read it the first time.

Thank you!

Forgot to ask where I can pre-order it.

Ooooo. Perfect for Spooky Season!

Preordered! Now I'm glad I decided to browse Bluesky while I wait for the ibuprofen to start working.

So am I ☺️

Despite reading more than 20 other books since reading this one the day it was released, this book still haunts me. The feelings it summoned are just as potent nearly two weeks later. Read. This. Book. Now. You can thank me later.

Looking forward to reading it this weekend.

For well over a year now, ads on my social media for books by and about LGBTQ+ people will disappear for weeks at a time, replaced by ads for other genres. It is a troubling trend.

I hate it when people try to genre or format shame. Maurice by E.M. Forster is fine to read because it is a classic, but A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger isn't okay to read because reasons? Don't people have better things to do?

You're welcome.

I do check the warnings. Generally, few things bother me, but there are always those days...

WTF? Why do some people feel the need to police what others read? I hope all the authors affected have another outlet for their works.

(I bought The Prince's Twin Servant since I enjoyed Sperm Donor of the Year so much.)

Maybe it's my sleeping pill addled brain, but I couldn't DM you. I'll try again in the morning.

Thanks again.

Oh! Wow! Thank you so much!

I meant to do this sooner. I already had 10 of your books and kept meaning to go back for more. Anyway, I bought 9 more. Hopefully, that will add a couple of bucks to your book fund. 😀

Bluesky has been the source of so many new-to-me authors. Joining was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

After I get off work, I'll check to see what I don't yet have. I have extra book money this month. It would be criminal to not use it.

Glad I could contribute to your happiness. 😊

Listening to Games of Rome now. I almost stopped before I got halfway through book 1, but I'm glad I stayed with it. Now, I hate the thought of the series coming to an end.

You're welcome. I will read this again at some point, but I need to recover first. 😭

Robin's review of Dying Light 5/5: Dying Light is a beautiful book. It is rare to see chronic illness, its effects on everyday life, and effects on those who are part of the life of the person diagnosed, portrayed so accurately. ...

Read and reviewed. It hit hard on so many levels.

You're welcome.

I've read quite a number of retellings, and enjoyed most of them. However, few of them manage to combine the old and new so perfectly as this one.
