City of Others is a weird, spunky urban fantasy mystery that somehow compresses a nefarious corporation, scheming jinn, undead ducklings, wyverns, supernatural markets, and office politics into one seamless story. @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social recommends Jared Poon's Singaporean fantasy adventure:

This is such an amazing review from @ruthjoffre.bsky.social at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social! "The stories in We Will Rise Again offer readers a glimpse of not just how things are now but also how they could be. They present worlds where we solve problems collectively..."

Have started reading We Will Rise Again, edited by @annaleen.bsky.social, @drkarenlord.bsky.social, and @older.bsky.social. Three pieces and one forward in, I already know: this is the good shit. It feels urgent, needed, timely.

ebooks are the best last-minute gifts (maybe the best gifts?) and for the person on your list who is involved in activism, loves speculative fiction, or just needs a little hope at this point in the year (and really, who amongst us doesn't), try the acclaimed anthology WE WILL RISE AGAIN:

If you want to hear @annaleen.bsky.social @drkarenlord.bsky.social and me talking with a really great interviewer about our new speculative activism anthology WE WILL RISE AGAIN, this was a terrific conversation: convergencemag.com/podcast/we-w...

Can’t believe enough people submitted my booktube channel for me to make the list! Truly made my day 💜

Thanks @litscialliance.bsky.social for giving We Will Rise Again an honourable mention to start off your 2025 Top 10! Delighted that your experience with it so far is exactly what we want for readers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQfC...

Reading this anthology now and so excited to get to the podcast on my drive to Zumba later!

🎃 NEW VIDEO! Today, I thought I'd have a little #Halloween fun and recommend you books that are "tricks" AND books that are "treats"—for the scare-averse and scare-seekers alike! 🎃🍬😈👻📚 #BookTube 📷 youtu.be/qC-Z3eC7KjE

Its about halfway through the year for the r/fantasy bingo challenge so I thought I would check in and discuss my plans for the rest of the year! #booksky youtu.be/wF7k8lB5RK0?...

This is on my physical tbr and I am so to get to it soon and to hear that the sequel is on its way!!

This weekend I have two books I would love to finish and in theory it would only take 5-6 hours so here is me saying I will find a few hours each day to read! Think I am going to start by finishing the new Tasha Suri this afternoon 🤞🏼 #booksky youtu.be/H5Gba_HYZbc?...

Guys I am finally only in the middle of 2 books!!!

Update: actually read about 130 pages of this today so far! Been a long time since I just let myself read on a Saturday. Also this book is bleak but good and my favorite kind of near future scifi. Its also a Eurydice and Orpheus retelling and I am curious how that will come together

Alright, had a social early afternoon practicing my spanish at Hexagon Books in Cleveland and now to read. I think I will get back into More Perfect this weekend. Also if anyone can figure out why publishers decided the US shouldn’t have access to this on audio anymore please let me know 😆

The plan to get my reading momentum back starts with stacking the tbr deck with only wins! #booksky youtu.be/coNc16V8JCM?...

I want to get my reading momentum back this month so time for another accountability thread. Tonight I am reading Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire. Its a pretty fun urban fantasy so far that this former ballroom dancer is enjoying more than anticipated

So we have three days left of the month and I am in the middle of 5 books, would love to close atleast three of them before October begins, so begins my accountability thread 😅😆 Here is the video for context: youtu.be/nq0ISQ2jy3o?...

🔔 NEW VIDEO! Spent a few days reading some (very) queer, weird novellas coming out in September and October so I could help you decide whether you should check them out! 🌈🖤📖 📷 youtu.be/2SeokY8NUUY

In the past month I have read two @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social books, each of them in one day (which is unheard of for me). Safe to say I will not be shutting up about his works for the foreseeable. Go read No Gods No Monsters and get hyped with me for the third book releasing later this year!

reminder while I'm at it that you can pre-order this too, although it will be a little longer before you get it

Love a recommended reading list assignment to get me pumped for an anticipated release!

go see this movie

I never post, I mostly lurk. Here is me posting to tell you to go see Sinners in theaters. I am so glad I did, the sound balance and visuals alone were worth it and I love experience the laughter and oh shit moments with a crowd.

Today is BITTER MEDICINE's second birthday! I can't believe it's been two years since I debuted. BITTER MEDICINE is a fantasy/romance about Elle, an underemployed magical calligrapher who's a direct descendent of Shénnóng, the Chinese god of medicine, and Luc, her mysterious half elven client. 1/

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Every year the fantasy subreddit makes a bingo board and each year I forget about it and frantically look to see if what I read fits 😂😅 youtu.be/Sv6HcZxV3hU?...
