Today’s featured cover: Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove
Campy, heartfelt, and gleefully queer, this is pulp horror in hyperspace.
Is this the best book cover of the week?

Back to the Bindery books—and a sapphic one—is Crueler Mercies by Maren Chase! I only knew this as sapphic revenge story and it is that and so much more. I had a blast and I love that it’s a standalone. 4.5⭐️!! #booksky

Two bindery books in a row? I swear, I didn't plan this; I'm just gravitating towards what looks interesting. Who wouldn't be interested in a horror comedy SFF retelling of Dracula?

Three books sit on a wooden windowsill. From left to right House of Frank by Kay Synclaire Inferno's Heir by Tiffany Wang The Unmapping by Denise Robbins
💙📚 Today, I got some #bookmail! 🤩 I've had my eye on two of these for a bit. The Umapping sold me me into making the purchase. I love the heft that these have. Something about the tactile nature of these.

Well, guess what.
I came home with two new books.
But this time, they're both from a small press called @binderybooks.bsky.social, and I was pleasantly surprised to see them on the shelf - so of course, I had to buy them.

The cover is FINISHED for Devil of the Deep by @falenciajfwrites.bsky.social
! This is a haitian-inspired fantasy about a mermaid fleeing from an underwater cult who must partner with a notorious pirate and an ambitious captain to survive. Come back tomorrow for another peak! #devilofthedeep

Books Featured: The Raven Scholar A Song of Legends Lost The Knight and the Moth We Can Never Leave Flight of the Fallen Wild Reverence Fallen City The Nightshade God The Staircase in the Woods The Unmapping
My toxic trait as a book worm is creating unrealistic reading goals, especially those spurred on by pithy alliteration. Hence, this months TBR, better known as
ARC READ APRIL! I’ve got allll of these stacked/queued up and ready to go. Which review do you all want to see first? #booksky
I got these enamel pins made for Mareas and The Unmapping. The plan is to send perk packages to my members every season, and they’ll get to collect pins for each release.
I also crocheted two styles of bookmarks for every one and got stickers of our most used custom emojis in our Discord. 💕 🌱

Here are the sapphic books I read this month! #booksky
between CRUELER MERCIES and THE STARVING SAINTS, 2025 is the year of "lesbians involved in a siege"

I won this kindle edition in a GR giveaway in January and I just got around to reading it and the MAGIC the YEARNING the HEARTBREAK the BETRAYAL the WLW… will likely be buying a physical copy when it’s released in June. Black Salt Queen by Samantha Bansil, you have me in a chokehold
