Thank you so much! Is there, by any chance, a picture of Kettle?

Her name is Azara (it means 'fire,' apparently). I bet Kettle is adorable!!

Sign of the Dragon by @marysoonlee.bsky.social - well that was a masterpiece, and I might even stop crying some day. Epic poetry isn't something I read too much of, so thanks to my fellow r/Fantasy mod u/oboist73 for suggesting this. Full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review at bit.ly/3MbFyNn

#TSOTD_note. "The Sign of the Dragon" has a Best Sellers Rank of 53,631 on Kindle just now. Best-selling authors would laugh derisively at this number, but it's the highest I remember seeing for my book, so I'm happy!

N.B. Lower numbers are better, so there are over 50,000 books ahead of mine.

Fantasy Book Review: The Fire-Moon by Isabel Pelech Review of Egypt-inspired middle-grade desert fantasy novella The Fire-Moon by indie author Isabel Pelech.

I shouldn't post a review at nearly nine o'clock on a Saturday, especially with all the sportsing happening, but. . . The Fire-Moon by Isabel Pelech is a fun little fantasy novella. I'll try to remember to reshare at a less terrible time www.tarvolon.com/2025/11/15/f...

You'll have a bit more luck sorting by new, reading the daily threads and especially the Tuesday review threads, and reading the Bingo rec list (especially for this year's Hidden Gems square). Default sorting gets you the most popular posts, which tend to get the most popular recs.
