Anytime I get to add the word like βgrotesquerieβ to a book, it always makes me happy. π

Weβve all seen the meme. In a world that seems to be burning down around us, it captures that horrible frozen feeling many of us have.
Lately a new version has been making the rounds, where βThis is fineβ is replaced with βBuy my book.β ...

The End. Those two little words always make me happy.
I finished the 1st draft of my Lighthouse Project a while back, a YA dark fantasy book. Now Iβm deep in transcribing and doing edits & Iβm loving it even more on the read-through. This one is going to be fun! π―οΈπ

A concerned person holds up a picture a tablet with the cover for The Collectors: A Short Story on it. On the cover a black shape looks down from the side and black hair falls, entwining around the bottom and up the opposite side of the cover. Behind them blue light comes in from a partially closed curtain.

15.01.2025 02:53 β π 54 π 5 π¬ 0 π 1I will never cease to be amazed by books. Seriously. Just think about it; thousands of people read the same book, but in everyoneβs brainβs the characters look different, the setting changes etc. We are all reading the same thing, but it's so unique to each of us.
That is a beautiful thing.
(Also if itβs not already clear, I finished Alice Will by @ashchap.bsky.social and I immediately had to go seek out copies of books 2&3. I definitely found a new favorite author! β€οΈ)
15.12.2024 01:18 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0I think as readers we chase that feeling with every book we pick up and every story we dive into. Itβs such a great feeling that we look for it again and again. It feels kind of like floating on clouds for a little while. I absolutely love it.
15.12.2024 01:17 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thereβs something really wonderful about how you finish reading a fantastic book and you come out of the little cocoon youβve been living in for hours. Youβre surrounded by sleepy cats, your tea cup is empty, and youβve got that satisfied glow of completing a well-told story.

Such a page-turner! β€οΈ
Iβm only about a third of the way through and really loving this book so far! Nice to escape into a high fantasy with such incredible world-building for a little while. Itβs like taking a mini vacation with every chapter. So well put together! β¨π
