Strange Houses, by Uketsu (book cover)
Uketsu slaps (good job Jim Rion, on the translation!). I liked Strange Pictures even more; both are a delight if you want to toss your brain around. If these great covers have been teasing you - yeah, they are worth picking up. <3
I just preordered Strange Buildings, out March 3rd! #books #booksky

I admit I am a newer enjoyer of this media format vs rabid consumption of the eyeball-media type (print/ebook) - whatโs your favorite way to enjoy an audiobook? ๐๐blog.libro.fm/heat/
I am really hugely enjoying this audiobook - so much so I picked up a physical copy as well. So sassy, so funny and thenโฆ so real #books

I picked up Big Swiss on a lark and loved it. Enjoy!

30.06.2025 15:22 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Itโs on Libro.fm as well, in case youโre looking for audiobooks that support local indie bookshops. :)
22.06.2025 14:28 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Understandable, but your writing speaks for itself. Itโs eloquent and witty, sneakily insightful and deep, soโฆ thatโs what I say when I recommend you to people.

08.06.2025 16:58 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Best of all worlds, by Kenneth Oppel
This book is fresh out today and it was a very interesting Bradbury-like read. I read it its ARC to see what the hype was about and yeah, I get it.
I feel like itโs going to be a book to hit high school required reading lists someday. Captures a lot about our current moment. A lot of the dread. ๐๐
John Wiswellโs Someone You Can Build A Nest In - yea, itโs a library book! Go libraries!
HAPPY PRIDE! We did it!! ๐๐ #books #horror
What if a gelatinous cube was also a mimic and also kinda loved you a bit, like so much she wants to store eggs in your lady curves? Yeah. Itโs surprisingly sweet and funny for as scream-inducing the plot is. Reminds me of Alien Clay: I loved it & winced
Apparently the audio is great; I read a physical book this time. I hope you enjoy it when you get there!

As we slide toward Pride, Iโll post a book each day that rules. ๐๐ #books #horror
I did not know what I was getting into here. Itโs gritty magic and rather dark (and my book group was icked out) BUT I enjoyed it and the ladiesโ relationship. I am looking forward to the next one - itโs a series!
The Spirit Bares its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White
As we glide toward Pride, Iโll post a book each day that rules. ๐๐ #books #horror
This YA horror novel thrashed me. Itโs a fabulous, sensitive work with two trans characters, one with autism. I loved that the author wrote the reader a caution letter to start. Itโs grim in there, but also GREAT.
I definitely ran out and hunted candidates for the Wonder as soon as humanly possible. Itโs definitely about the apple :D
29.05.2025 01:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Let Them Stare by Jonathan Van Ness and Julie Murphy. Narrated by Van Ness and Jeremy Arthur. Brought to me by the excellent employee-owned & profit-sharing (with indie bookstores) company Libro.fm. Cannot recommend them more.
As we sashay toward Pride, imma post a book each day that rules. ๐๐ #books
Narrated & co-written by Queer Eye star Van Ness, this book is hilarious, empowering and will give you life. Do it. Fall for the haunted vintage handbag and our delightful non-binary protag. You will only have a good time.
Is this the UK cover? I like it so much more than the version I bought (and hugely enjoyed) in the U.S.

The sweater is fuzzy!! (Also this book is wonderful if you have not read it)
I work as a bookseller and we got our copies in a few days early. Having to wait to sell it was torture. lol

When the light turned the SUV tooted a bunch of short beeps and the school bus became 40 happy tiny jazz hands โ๏ธ
An ARC called The Dilemmas of Working Women, a bestseller in Japan, new to English readers this August. Itโs deeply semi-comfortably (?) relatable; I totally get why it won the Naoki Prize. Plus they are short stories, which I think is super nice to slot in between other works. :)
