The one by Connie Willis? I haven't read that one! If you read this one you'll have to tell me if they're similar :)

The cover of Some Body Like Me, by Lucy Lapinska. The tagline reads: Less than human. More than machine. The cover shows a woman's face in profile, a hand on her cheek, and what looks like distorted reflections as if she's rising out of water, but the water is made of triangles and diamond shapes.
Some Body Like Me by @ldlapinski.bsky.social was SUCH a good read, I'm still chewing over it weeks later. It's queer, it's complicated, it's about history and memory and bodies, what it means to be a person, what love is. Terrific apocalyptic sci-fi with characters I absolutely loved.

The cover of JITTERBUG features a stylised rocket silhouette at the centre of an orrery, with a space suited figure dangling in its wake

Good morning Bluesky.
Hope you all have a lovely day with lots to be cheerful about!
The cover of the dungeon book, showing an old-school cutaway diagram of a dungeon, complete with a dragon.
Lo, 'tis THE DUNGEON BOOK cover!
The Jungle Book meets Dungeons and Dragons with a dash of Pan's Labyrinth in this gleefully fun standalone fantasy narrated by a sentient skull, in which a small girl is thrown to a dungeon full of monsters, who decide to raise her rather than eat her.
11th August!
Saltswept is here, and officially published today!
Hannah Kaner (of Godkiller) says it's "deep, sumptuous and astonishingly beautiful"

I wouldn't class this as a romantasy, to be honest!
There's a relationship in there, sure, but it's just one aspect of the plot. It's really very much about the monsters, curse, magic, ancient entities and battle for power etc.
Cameron Sullivan's The Red Winter is officially out today, and there are beautiful exclusive SIGNED editions in stock if you're quick!
I finished this one just a week ago and really enjoyed it, so can definitely recommend!

A hand holds a copy of the book in a bookshop. A blood red cover with a gothic building in the middle. Gloss raindrops over everything.
First up is Weavingshaw by Heba Al-Wasity: a gothic slow-burn fantasy romance following a young woman haunted by the ghosts of her past + the Saint of Silence who promises her greatest desire in return for her darkest secret...
It's getting stellar reviews so check it out if that intrigues!

It's a big new publishing day today! Lots of new titles to tell you about, however - I'm starting the day at the dentist so, well, I guess I'll try my best 😅

A copy of A SONG OF LEGENDS LOST against a background of yellowing paperbacks.
A copy of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. Its cover is cracked with age and its spine has been mended with sellotape
Yesterday was UK paperback release day for A SONG OF LEGENDS LOST! 🥳
I loves me a crispy, yellowing, mass market paperback. May copies of ASOLL one day be found looking like my well-worn edition of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, sellotaped up, much read, and with all the wrinkles of a village elder
A banner from the author's Facebook page showing book cover, and the release date: sept 1st 2026
Some good news to start your Wednesday: James Islington (of bestseller The Will of the Many) has announced a new book, Scion, due out this autumn!
A scifi/cyberpunk tale of organised crime, world-changing technology & enhanced humans. Can't wait 💙📚🪐
Current pub date for this is fall of 2027, given I have a novel out in March of 2027. More details on both, soon.

Photo of a book on a windowsill: The Others of Edenwell, by Verity Holloway. Illustrated with a picture of a stately home with smoke and birds rising from it
This was absolutely gripping, @verityholloway.bsky.social. I pictured Freddie as a young Ben Whishaw, and if it was on telly, I’d have been shouting “SOMEBODY PLEASE JUST KILL HIM!” every time Scole appeared. Really good stuff

It is a little horrifying sometimes.
I have to be very picky!
I had a fun morning on a quiet day running around finding them all!
Thought I'd have enough for a nice little stack but there were more than I thought 😅

I need a new phone and pc soon, and must have been into the shops two or three times only to be heard muttering "ugh!" repeatedly as I read the specs for each device.
"Oh, but you can disable *most* of it!" they tell me...
