This meme shows a three headed, green hydra; two heads look dangerous and serious while the third looks cartoonish and derpy with its tongue poking out of its mouth. The text reads: "Caroline Bingley's SELF ESTEEM, DESIRE TO CRUSH HER ENEMIES, LIBIDO."

Caroline Bingley is, as ever, her own worst enemy.

Find out how in THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, a sapphic historical romance that will have you giggling and swooning over our mostly-intentioned, obnoxious heroine!

We Are Made of Scars and Starlighy by Nicole Zelniker. A city skyline under stars.

Loved this novella by @nicolezelniker.bsky.social, about a gay man with a chronic illness (lupus) who agrees to be his bi best friend’s fake boyfriend for a family event, but then gets close to her brother.

Not a traditional romance, more of a love letter to found family and self acceptance! 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈

Blue tshirt with a figure of a man by cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez (also known as Beto). Figure is winking and waving and wears black shorts and a red tshirt that reads FUCK AI in yellow lettering.

Ashurbanipal. Then you can name his friends Shamshi-Adad and Lugul-Shumu.

I'm so sorry. He had the best life with you xx

Ughhhh I have to do mine again soon too. Sending sympathy

A grey and white cat sits looking up expectantly at the cruel person who hides his biscuits in a 'toy' made of an old egg box and cut up toilet roll inners

Made a simple cat toy for Turple from an egg box and toilet roll inners. Put cat biscuits in. He sat and yelled at me to do it for him🙄

He did do it himself eventually 😂

A black, white and tan dog stands on a rocky hilltop, more sun-bleached hills in the background, coloured yellow, and a cloudy sky with dark grey and white clouds.

Dark grey cloud and blond hills, cicadas singing and the spicy vanilla scent of gorse flowers. Phew, it was hot tho

Ha ha! I don't like shrimp either but it looks like there's all different kinds. And I must say that a really good sandwich is a thing of beauty imo

I thoroughly enjoyed this book

What a fascinating article. I've often wondered about that name. Never eaten one tho...maybe one day...

HEN FEVER is a short sapphic Victorian romance with Crimean War veteran widows, rival lesbian chicken breeders, and a small town with a cutthroat Christmas poultry competition: www.oliviawaite.com/books/hen-fe...

😀❤️

I totally agree!!! 😂

Graphic reads "Your estimated royalties from Overdrive for Jan2026 $35.49 for the sale of 8 unitd".

My January royalties for Overdrive. Not much money you may think, not many 'units' sold. But this is LIBRARIES buying my books (Probably mostly my m/m romance Pride and Prejudice retelling MR COLLINS IN LOVE) and as a life-long library lover that makes me so happy!! 😃

Hey! Who out here is recommending SEDUCING THE SORCERER by @leewelchwriter.bsky.social? Because I need to follow more people with good taste and get more recs like this.

I’m savoring the final chapter right now and whoo boy! It’s been a minute since I’ve been been blown away by a book like this.

Yay! So happy you enjoyed it 😃

It makes me so happy that my book could lead to you finding out more about yourself! And of course Mr Collins isn't really odious. He's kind, brave, loyal, inventive, thoughtful and conscientious - qualities I expect you also possess xx

The Jane Austen Society of Aotearoa New Zealand interviewed me about my book Mr Collins in Love, which reimagines the clergyman from Pride and Prejudice as gay, autistic, and the hero of his own romance. Read it here: janeaustensocietynz.wordpress.com/blog/

🤣 I never thought of that! What a way to go!!!

A grey and white cat sits on top of a small plant pot, crushing a plant beneath it. The cat has a sleepy benevolent expression.

How the new cat mint died 🤭

Ugh. I have a couple of MS sitting at 40,000 or 60,000 words that just... I don't know... there's nothing WRONG per se. Other people tell me to finish them. But. No. There's something....yes...itchy. Or like a tiny stone in the shoe.

Review by ech0reads - The Reanimator's Fate I adore this series so much. I'm devastated that it's over but it was such a lovely, well-writ...

my review for the Reanimator's fate by @authorkaraj.bsky.social is up and only a few (happy) tears were shed in the process. i cannot articulate how much this book series means to me but i tried my best to write something somewhat coherent🫀

A grey cicada sits on a wooden railing, transparent wings shining in the sun. Green summer leaves in the background. He's going zeeda zeeda zeeda...
