Buy Books - Magica Riot - The Official Site A novel about Portland's hard-rocking queer magical girls, Magica Riot.

so yeah less than two months until my layoff date - company needs to Make Line Go Up More so that means gutting the entire department - and so I am once again asking you to buy, read, and spread the word far & wide of my queer magical girl novel.

The sequel is nearly done. 😁

Cover of Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle, designed to resemble a playing card (a king, specifically). The King on the top half of the card is on fire, a sword wielded by a dismembered hand piercing through his skull and shish-kebabing his eyeball, and there are rabbit’s heads speared on the tines of his crown. The King on the bottom half of the card is just a skull, blue-haired and also being stabbed by a sword. Tentacles protruding from every opening of the skull spear an eyeball, and there are four leaf clovers on each of the crown’s tines.

I found a copy of @chucktingle.bsky.social’s Lucky Day a week early and devoured it (MY lucky day). Tingle doesn’t miss: it’s a thrilling blend of sci-fi and horror full of unhinged setpieces and a treatise on bi visibility, as well as perhaps the purest distillation of his authorial ethos #Booksky

Looking for book recommendations for my daughter's 16th birthday. She loves graphic novels, but also Casey McQuiston. Her favorite graphic novels are The Prince and the Dressmaker, Beetle and the Hollowbones, Hooky, Lore Olympus, and Dan in Green Gables. I would love to get her some newer titles.

I’m about halfway through this and having such a great time! If you want a fun and funny story with a great audiobook, definitely take a look at this!

Kill for Me, Kill for You: A Novel A Novel

It’s hard to talk about books when we are living through constant existential dread, but I just finished “Kill For Me, Kill For You” by @stevecavanagh.bsky.social and it was an amazing bit of escapism. So many great twists, character-building, and the end was 🤌🏻💋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HIGHLY recommend! #booksky 📚💙

01: There is a woman facing you with a confident expression. She has blond hair, messy twin pigtails, a small angel wing coming off the right side of her head, and a devil horn coming off the left. She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible. She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?" 02: She puts up her hands in front of her, as if you say 'stop it'. She has big, robotic hands. She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA" 03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes. She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much." 04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink. "Proud of ya', kid."

Just finished The Anthropocene Reviewed By John Green! They are a beautiful collection of essays that make you both feel more connected and less connected from yourself at the same time. I cried a lot. I give The Anthropocene Reviewed 5 stars⭐️ #booksky #bookrec #johngreen #bookreview

Ok, #3 was better, a Lester del Ray tale of a robot woman that falls in love with one of her makers, unrequited. At first. Short and snappy, good stuff.

Hey UK readers! Kindle UK has selected Someone You Can Build A Nest In as one of their monthly picks for August. It's won a Nebula and a Locus award, and it's a finalist for the Hugo, and for a limited time you can get it for just 99p. Feel like meeting a queer monster today?

A Palace Near the Wind by Ai Jiang Lufeng has been married to the King of the Palace, the third daughter of her line, and their mother all sacrificed to The Palace...

I rarely if ever get annoyed w/ myself for not reading a book sooner. I am officially annoyed w/ myself for not reading A Palace Near the Wind sooner. This book has some incredibly important things to say and Jiang does it in less 200 pgs. Highly recommend!

New film review from Gingernuts of Horror today

Hit me with some trans joy, folks.

Whaddya got?

This is just one story out of a much larger business trend

The point of technology is to do more with less. Eventually, everything with nothing — or no one.

I suspect we'll be hearing much more of this in the coming years

Ohohohoh oh no it's about to be a rant...

So here's my context. Coming to writing through the direction of YA, and then pivoting to romance more recently, I like to keep my finger on the pulse of YA specifically and more recently romantasy. I have been alarmed by the normalisation of certain

My Journey to Her is a manga by Yuna Hirasawa regarding her transition and we absolutely need to see more of this in the manga/anime industry. Don't get me wrong the LGBTQ+ coded characters in manga/anime specifically are always going to have a special place in my heart but just a straight forward 1
