For anyone still looking for an audiobook perfect for #Halloween, do yourself a favor and get the #Nekropolis series by @timwaggoner.bsky.social, currently on sale at @libro.fm. @graphicaudio.bsky.social truly killed it with this one! Great story, interesting characters, and awesome voice acting.

For anyone looking for a break from everything going on out there, I highly recommend the @graphicaudio.bsky.social audiobooks "Terminal Alliance" series by @jimchines.com and the "Finder Chronicles" by @zanzjan.bsky.social! Not only are the stories exceptional, but the voice acting is fantastic.

"Rose/House" by @byzantienne.bsky.social is an interesting read. The writing style gives the story an eerie and ethereal feel. Think "Ex Machina" meets murder mystery in the Arizona desert, but the AI is the whole house. It's definitely not a story I've come across before. Bravo for the creativity.

Not a post I normally make. A little late but finally ridding my home of my #HarryPotter books. They brought me joy in the past. But I can’t abide by unapologetic bigotry. So… see you never J.K. Rowling.

Baloo says goodnight and he’ll see you in the morning. Have treats ready. Please and thank you!

This is fantastic! Thank you and @dndbeyond.com! I was excited for the novel and now I have something more to look forward to. Just filled out the form. Can't wait for the book and the signed bookplate!
11.04.2025 21:02 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just finished "Murder by Memory" by @oliviawaite.com. Wow! I was amazed by how much character development and world building there was in only 100 pages. A really nice story for such a slim novella. We've been promised this is the beginning of a series. Looking forward to the next one!
