Moving is expensive and I need a new laptop pretty desperately. My portion of anything you buy will be going to those needs. But also, our books are fucking awesome so you should be reading them anyhow.
You like cool shit? We got it.
Get the goods, punks.

Black and white book cover showing a girl in a pretty white dress missing her head. Where her head should be is the o in comfortable. The title of the book is The Skin We Feel Most Comfortable In. In pink lettering is the author’s name: Craig Wallwork. There’s a quote also in the cover from author Kealan Patrick Burke that says, One of the most impressive books I’ve read in years.

Welcome to our weird Truborn family @craigwallwork.bsky.social

Touched some dry itchy ass grass today because I feel the dark side creeping up on me again.. But my tan is looking rather bomb this summer.😎

Yeah. Ours moved and it seems the horror section is smaller and less diverse 😭😩 but the general fiction is popping atleast

Went to BN to grab a romance book, at checkout the person said "oh do you know that it's BOGO 50%?" And I said, yeah but there were barely any black romance books to choose from so I'll just stick with one.

She felt bad and gave me 50% off.🤷‍♀️

Not what I was going for..but ok?

Punk Goes Horror anthology, waiting to be torn into and devoured, I mean, read.

I finally read @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social earlier this year and became an instant fan. Anything she writes, I will read. Stellar work. And now look what I get to read! @nwreader.bsky.social

Indentured, by David Jack Fletcher (pub by @nwreader.bsky.social) is a bold queer horror novel, a great take on acceptance and cycles of trauma, not afraid of break a few boundaries to deliver a hell of story.
