When you find a signed Anne McCaffrey while at the used bookstore. Your only option is to purchase it.

in case you missed it yesterday, we have released the cover for book 3 of the ANA AND DIN MYSTERIES, which is A TRADE OF BLOOD

It’s well written and on top of being a scifi mystery it is also a philosophical thinker of a novel.

I can’t wait for book 2! I have some theories so I’m very excited for it. 😌

One week until the release of Iron Garden Sutra by @thesuiway.bsky.social ! Don’t sleep on this one. Intergalactic funeral rites monk enters a long lost ship to perform post mortem rites for the dead. But, oops, something eerie is happening on this ship. I was glued to the page. πŸ–€

This pile of books is staring at me. But I finally got in The Devils by @joeabercrombie.com from my Libby hold, so you know, priorities.

Prepping for the snow storm happening this weekend by picking Between Two Fires by @buehlmeister.bsky.social as my snowed in read.

I had the joy of visiting a fantasy themed bookstore while on my holiday road trip. If you live anywhere near Knoxville I very much recommend visiting Fable Hollow which is both a coffee shop and a cozy bookstore.

Indie bookstore haul! While traveling across the country for the holidays I picked up some books as souvenirs.

I keep meaning to start this. I’m thinking the dregs of Midwest February will be perfect for it.

Loving it so far! 40% in and it’s a vibe. I can picture it. Definitely out of my reading slump. I’d love to see a map of Scratch Moss.

Been in a bit of a reading slump for a couple of weeks. But I’m starting Scratch Moss today and hoping some coal mine horror will do the trick. I loved Barnett’s Scuttler’s Cove, so I am excited for this ARC. Scratch Moss by @davidmbarnett.bsky.social comes out March 5!

Re-reading Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir for book club, tell me why I just now noticed those are sunglasses and not just skull eye sockets.

All the snow is going to melt in a few days so I have the hurry up and start and finish this book before the vibes are off.

Happy new release to Sunset at Zero Point by Simon StΓ₯lenhag. I loved the Tales from the Loop books and was excited for this. I was surprised by how emotional it was on top of the cool scifi elements. 5 stars from me!

Thanks to @sagapressbooks.bsky.social for the ARC.

The writing is so good! I’m now on page 150 and it has my full attention. I love the cover but it doesn’t do this gothic tale justice. Lots of sea, wind gusts, salt, fog, and eerie magic.

I’m surprised it’s not talked about more, it’s so good! I read a bunch more of it today. I saw it at the bookstore a few months ago and the description sounded good. I’m glad I grabbed it.

If you like gritty dark fantasy pick this one up. Granted I’m only 50 pages in but there has already been a gruesome death and the prose is so gothic and atmospheric. I can’t wait to read more about this deathspeaker over the snowy weekend that has already begun.

November seemed like the perfect season to finally start book 3 in the Saint of Steel series by T. Kingfisher. πŸ–€πŸ§‘ Love the @orbitbooks.bsky.social covers so I bought all four at once before even starting the series. πŸ˜…

Listen, I promise somehow it makes sense that there are dinosaurs, robots, AND aliens. Peter Clines was cooking here. I did find the characters somewhat one note but if you are craving a dino book I would give this a looksie.

Came out yesterday from @blackstonepub.bsky.social πŸ¦–

I loved A Memory Called Empire by AM and was perfectly weirded out by Spread Me by SG so I’m very excited for both of these 🀩

I’ve been into novellas this year for the first time ever, they feel like a book in treat form.

Anybody else succumb to the book outlet $6 fiction sale today? On the plus side, it’s only 6 books to get free shipping. On the other hand, my TBR pile is staring at me.
