Can’t wait to get my copy!’

Cover of WITHOUT CONSENT A LANDMARK TRIAL AND THE DECADES-LONG STRUGGLE TO MAKE SPOUSAL RAPE A CRIME By SARAH WEINMAN AUTHOR OF THE REAL LOLITA AND SCOUNDREL

Late last night, @sarahweinman.com 's new book Without Consent popped up on my book machine and I haven't been able to put it down. All her books are amazing, but this one is required fucking reading in our current era when women's bodily autonomy is under renewed assault.

Injured in the Jaguar Attack (The Incomparable Mothership 787) It’s autumn, things are turning dark and gray, and that puts us in the mind of… (fictional) murder! Want a mystery novel, or series, to read? Our expert readers have many, many suggestions for you.

I interrupt today's scheduled doomscrolling to offer a book lover's delight: a panel of avid readers share #mystery recces!

I include books by @sherrythomas.com @kellyekell.bsky.social @tracyc1.bsky.social @alexsegura.bsky.social @blacktopkid.bsky.social & more 🤓

Enjoy!

Black Book Bash Home Welcome to Black Book Bash 2025! This is the official homepage for the B3 Festival.

After insisting on being the sole corporate sponsor for the 3 day Black Book Bash literary festival in Jacksonville, FL, Publix yanked all support only *one week* before the event, citing the “volatile climate” as their reason 🤬

Publix offered to be the exclusive sponsor of the black book bash in Jacksonville. On Monday they rescinded that offer. Y’all, if that ain’t sabotage, i don’t know what is. You can support the Black Book Bash here iamcaseyrkelley.com/products/sup...

Amazing talent.

I didn't win but thank you!

My second time at #Bouchercon, but my first time in #NewOrleans. Had a great time! @deliapitts50.bsky.social @yasminangoe.bsky.social @kellyekell.bsky.social #writingcommunity

My most important pro tip about surviving publishing: Have a sense of humor.

It has been instrumental in me surviving nine years, four books, two publishers...and still wanting to do this crap.

Is that the same as the Rose reading room? It's absolutely gorgeous but freezing. Next time I'm bringing a sweatshirt.

Started a scary but exciting new journey last week where I am betting on myself and writing full time for six months. Still trying to figure the work schedule out (thanks @vmburnsbooks.bsky.social for the hand holding) but this is today’s office.

thank you!!!!!! i also love that my book made it to bulgaria and serbia!

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; “Reconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.

July is Disability Pride Month, and we didn't want to end the month without celebrating indie authors with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Here we have FIFTY (!) SFF books for you to choose from and support! There's something for everyone.

Mariska Hargitay's #MyMomJayne is so good. Equal parts sad, funny, messy, and raw. My fave part though is when Mariska finally goes through her mother's stuff and realizes that Jayne cut her ex husbands out of the family photos.

cover of No Gods for Drowning by Hailey Piper, art by Anna Chiara Stagi, showing a deep sea background, a bright nine-pointed star in blue, and a lithe figure posturing in front of it, a glow with eerie light. At the top is a quote from Chuck Wendig reading "This book sang to me, and if you let it, it will sing to you, too."

COVER REVEAL! 🔪🌊

It's a joy to share the glorious new cover to NO GODS FOR DROWNING! Anna Chiara Stagi has beautifully blended elements of the book into this eerie seaborne majesty.

Thank you Anna, and thank you @badhandbooks for giving it a new port in the storm.

Happy Release Day to El Dorado Drive by THE @meganabbott.bsky.social! It's a simmering, atmospheric novel of friendship and betrayal, following a women-led pyramid scheme in suburban Detroit.

Can't wait to hear her chat with Laura Lippman today at Books Are Magic. You can watch on YouTube!

😍😍😍

So nice to chat with you!

Genuinely was surprised that Missing White Woman won the Thriller Award for Best Mystery! A huge thank you to ITV, Tosca, Jean, and all the judges. Congrats to all winners and nominees! Bio has been updated.

Thanks bestie!

I came on here just to block JD Vance and I must have signed up for some sort of block chain that added him because he's already blocked. I do wish I could have had the satisfaction of actually blocking him though. lol
