I don't want much, tbh. I just want to live in a world free of billionaires and AI. is that too much to ask

Freshly hatched copies of The Salt Oracle hardback and We Are All Ghosts In The Forest paperback on a green cloth, looking handsome

Close up of the base of both book spines, showing a tiny leaping orca on The Salt Oracle

The dedication page from The Salt Oracle, that reads: To Mr Short, My secondary school science teacher who told me, repeatedly, that girls weren't cut out for science. My PhD and I beg to differ.

LOOK WHO HATCHED!

New books are in my very own paws & they're looking so damn pretty I can't!

(Please admire the teensy spine orca whomst I adore)

(Also have I shown you my spite dedication? I can't remember)

ok. y'all know what I want? a series of interconnected romantasies like Lisa Kleypas's Wallflowers series ... but make it speculative. same level of heat and drama and character development, but just add magic. not sequels! interconnected standalones. this is my #1 dream #mswl

sorry I've been so MIA on here, y'all! if I'm honest, all the disparate social media platforms are doing my head in. going to try to be more active, though ♥️

Graham Linehan is literally in court today for harassing, cyberstalking, and assaulting a trans child. He's saying his victim doesn't exist.

I can't focus on anything else like I neeeeeeeed to know if I should run to Lidl and get prosecco

C4 of @criticalrole.bsky.social being set in a land named Aramán, the teaser for it showing snowy mountains, and this little tidbit from the LOTR wiki .... oh Brennan Lee Mulligan!!!! your brain!! I am about to FEAST.

yearning for a historical horror/fantasy/romantasy featuring pirates. please. give me an Elizabeth Swann-coded heroine. give me the Jack x Elizabeth x Will OT3 we all deserved. give me sea battles and flintlocks. I beg for the swashbuckle #mswl

whatever bullshit is up with my lungs has GOT to stop soon, this is getting incredibly annoying

does the person who bought the first edition The Hobbit for £43,000 know that they could just give it to me. I'd be very grateful. thank you in advance

your regularly scheduled cursed LotR fact of the day is that the Beatles nearly made a film adaptation of it, with (among other things) John Lennon as Gollum and George Harrison as Gandalf, and to be directed by Stanley Kubrick. pls imagine John-as-Gollum with the Kubrick stare

you would not see me for DUST if i had access to her resources. i'd be playing the most elaborate dnd campaigns and anonymously building monoliths in remote parts of earth. she's so embarrassing.

Tolkien: now we'll know everything about gollum's adventures!
Tolkien: all questions will be answered!
Barker: hey jirt i got a question for you
Barker: why don't you tell us what the blue wizards were doing
Tolkien: NO FUCK YOU NEVER

desperately looking for a speculative upmarket circus novel, maybe with some fantasy elements – The Night Circus vibes, pls! I have wanted this for years 😭 #mswl

laptop? closed. OOO? on. suitcase? .............still not packed I'm getting to it

on the other hand ............................ gee, I wonder who could've seen this coming

Boundless going into administration and not emailing a single Unbound author (who were promised "goodwill" payments re: their unpaid [stolen] royalties) about it has my jaw on the FLOOR tbh

love the sound of this! please do query me when it's ready :)
