I see the bookstore in Bangor has them! While I'm reading mine on Kindle, I'll pop by there to get one for the little library my neighbor has.

Started Broken Dolls, pulls you in and pulls your heart. LOVE it so far! @allymalinenko.bsky.social

I was a little worried during the first few pages that this book would be boring, as she is so intellectual and it comes out in her writing, but after a few pages it sucked me in and it is great. Highly recommend. #books #bookstoread

Beautiful!

(a phrase I still cannot think without flinching)

I knew it was the end
not the end of the world
only the end of anything
soft
and gentle
and kind
that we did not make ourselves

First time posting this on Blue Sky!

I am a freelance political journalist and broadcaster. I do all sorts between writing, podcasting, broadcasting and some commercial work. My website is here for you to have a nosy - or book me! - of course: www.zoegrunewald.com

A picture of the cover of the book, Ursula K. Le Guin - The Dispossessed. The cover has an illustration of a man on a desert world. A futuristic transport zeppelin is behind him.

Just read my first ever @ursulakleguin.bsky.social book and it was *fantastic*. I am now going to have to read all of her books 😅

The themes of anarchism, politics, and academia were so so well done, and her writing was fabulous. Every paragraph was beautifully crafted and thought-provoking. 5/5 ⭐

The first line reads: After being hit by the car, Lisa managed to open her eyes three times before she died.

Possibly the best first line I've written for one of my books? This one is from my novella RAGGED ALICE. When it first came out, a friend commented that as soon as she read that line, she knew she had to read the rest of the book as quickly as possible. What do you think?

Poleaxed after finishing this. @charlottemendelson.bsky.social _ is at her soul-searing best. Narcissistic monsters and suffocating families are quite the speciality of hers, but #Wife is just unbearably brilliant

Only 2+ weeks left until release- and there’s a *new* addition to the #giveaway ! Everyone gets a month free subscription to the Novel Effect! And the grand prize is even better, too! See link in bio for details!
