A read from earlier in the year: The Eyes are the Best Part by Monika Kim. This was absolutely delectable. Can’t wait for the movie. #recentreads #BookSky

One of my planned reads for October: a stunning edition of Metallic Realms by @thelincoln.bsky.social. OwlCrate did a fantastic job with this. #BookMail #BookSky

This was a great palate cleanser. Had been looking forward to another Novik since finishing Spinning Silver. This hit the spot. Now back to Shadows Upon Time :) #TheSummerWar @naominovik.bsky.social @waterstones.bsky.social #BookSky

A banner #BookMail week, that’s for sure. The Broken Binding continuing to outdo themselves. Props to Rene Aigner and Peng Lu for the awesome art. They all look so good together. #SunEater @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social @headofzeus.bsky.social

Heck yeah! Time to get weird 💀 #RyanLaSala #TheDeadOfSummer #BookSky @ryanlasala.bsky.social

Medea by Rosie Hewlett was great. Stoked to read her take on Medusa next :) #Medusa #Medea #RosieHewlett #BookSky #Books @goldsborobooks.bsky.social

One of my most anticipated reads of the quarter is Patrick Ryan’s Buckeye. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @goldsborobooks.bsky.social #Buckeye #BookMail

Ain’t gonna lie, this is a special one. Not just the care that’s been put into this edition by the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, but the fact that it’s also one of my fave current series just makes it all sweeter. Stellar work all around. #TheBoundAndTheBroken @ryancahill.bsky.social #BookMail

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler was one of my trippier reads of last year, so very much looking forward to finding out Where the Axe is Buried. @inkstonebooks.bsky.social did a great job once again with this edition. #currentlyreading @wnbooks.bsky.social #BookSky #BookMail

Myth retellings going strong again this year. It’s my first Natalie Haynes and hoping to love it. @nataliehaynes.bsky.social @waterstones.bsky.social @panmacmillan.bsky.social #booksky

Absolutely stoked! Finally getting these in has been some of the best #bookmail in a while. Props to @illumicrate.bsky.social for acing this seminal work of literary fantasy. Everyone involved should be proud. @robinhobb.bsky.social #BookSky

Have definitely been anticipating the new Elodie Harper. The Wolf Den trilogy was such a great ride (and if you haven’t read it, I wholeheartedly recommend it) and I am thrilled to be diving back into her work. #BookSky @elodieharper.bsky.social @headofzeus.bsky.social @goldsborobooks.bsky.social

Finished! And it was a banger. I had such high expectations after the last three Andrew Joseph White books I read (my fave of which was The Spirit Bares Its Teeth), but man - bar easily cleared. Well done. You Weren’t Meant to Be Human is awesome. #recentreads @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social #booksky

The @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social finally giving us Jen Williams’ Copper Cat trilogy in gorgeous hardcover. Great addition to the collection. #bookmail #BookSky @sennydreadful.bsky.social

This was - Amazing. Defo biased as I’ve loved everything Robin Sloan has put out so far, but it’s always delightful to come to that realisation that an author has become an auto-purchase. #Moonbound #RobinSloan #BookSky

I always get excited about a debut. Have heard good things and excited to get well into it. #BookMail #BookSky @torbooksuk.bsky.social @maddiesmartinez.bsky.social @goldsborobooks.bsky.social

And finally have all of them :) #NKJemisin @nkjemisin.bsky.social

Defo my #LuckyDay! My last @chucktingle.bsky.social read was only a month ago and already feels too long. Happy that this arrived today! @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #BookSky

An amazing pick by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social. I’m so glad to have #TheSparrow in this edition. Kudos to everyone that’s worked on this. Amazing work. #BookMail #MaryDoriaRussell #BookSky

Stoked for this one, no question about it 🔪 @janicehallett.bsky.social #TheKillerQuestion #BookMail #BookSky

Age Verification: I spent way too much time ensuring the transitions between songs on my mixed tapes were all of appropriate length.

So stoked to finally get my hands on this edition of this set. It’s some of my favourite @guygavrielkay.bsky.social’s work. And with that, I finally own all of them :) #GuyGavrielKay #FionavarTapestry #BookSky

Yes please :)

Been waiting (not so patiently) for The Damned King by Justin Lee Anderson since The Bitter Crown came out. Can. Not. Wait. Props to the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social for a stellar set. #BookMail #BookSky @justinleeanderson.com

Live now :) Having a blast listening to these two. @jeremyszal.bsky.social @realjacksonford.bsky.social @galaxybookshop.bsky.social

Okay, here we go. My plan for the next couple of days. #Katabasis @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social #BookMail #RFKuang

Reading it tomorrow in preparation for @realjacksonford.bsky.social chat with @jeremyszal.bsky.social at @galaxybookshop.bsky.social this weekend. Can’t wait! @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #TheBoneRaiders #BookMail #BookSky

Absolutely stoked to finally have volume two of Legend of Tal - A Queen’s Command! Look at this beauty 🔥 Continuing the streak of most beautiful books I own. #LegendOfTal #BookMail @jdlrosell.bsky.social

Broken Binding’s #BookMail is on 🔥 this week. @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social @gollancz.bsky.social #OraineJohnson #Lucid

Did I have the soft covers? Yes. Did I need the new edition? Yes - couldn’t pass up the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social treatment. #LukeArnold #BookSky @orbitbooks.bsky.social

The latest @tkingfisher.com entry is finally here and I can’t wait… May have to pivot my TBR order and get to it ASAP ;) @torbooksuk.bsky.social #BookMail #BookSky #HemlockAndSilver @waterstones.bsky.social

I loved Phoenicia Rogerson’s #Herc. Absolutely thrilled to read her take on #Aphrodite next. #amreading @goldsborobooks.bsky.social @thatphoenicia.bsky.social @harpercollins.bsky.social #BookSky

Another severely underhyped series. In #EnginesOfWar Richard S Ford absolutely sticks the landing and delivers a satisfying conclusion to a breath to fresh air in fantasy. This has been my first Ford series, but you can be sure I’m checking out some more. #BookSky @orbitbooks.bsky.social

S-Tier stunning. A fantastic edition of Rebecca Roanhorse’s Black Sun from the Broken Binding. Kudos to the amazing artists involved. @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #BookMail #BookSky

It’s a day to showcase debuts, it seems :) #BookSky #BirthOfADynasty @goldsborobooks.bsky.social @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social @chinazabado.bsky.social

And it’s here. Loving the vibe of this promising urban fantasy debut. @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #BookMail

This has been absolutely worth the wait from @inkstonebooks.bsky.social I really enjoyed the first book in The Kindom Trilogy. And it’s awesome that book 3 is slated for December. #BookSky #BookMail @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social

Dan Jones continuing to get the stellar treatment he deserves from the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social Don’t they look all pretty together? #BookSky #BookMail #EssexDogs

Super excited about both of these… the color coordination was accidental. Let me know if you’ve checked them out. #Mere #AResistanceOfWitches #MorganRyan #DanielleGiles #MantleBooks @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

And to the surprise of no one - Broken Binding aced it again ;) #ChinaMieville #Kraken #BookSky @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social

It’s taken me a while to get this one, but stoked that I was able to get my hands on it. Signed too ;) #BookSky #RobinHobb #StevenBrust @robinhobb.bsky.social @stevenbrust.bsky.social

Thrilled to be continuing @rogbapayne.bsky.social’s take on fantasy. This series is still underhyped. If you want a break from the more prevalent western mythological takes on fantasy, please try it. How much do these covers slap? @shutabug.bsky.social did a great job. @inkstonebooks.bsky.social

@thebrokenbinding.bsky.social serving up a yummy edition of Seven Recipes for Revolution, by @ryanprose.bsky.social - and I’m ready to tuck in. #BookMail #BookSky

Superb self-pub reads from the last month’s dent into the TBR. A good reminder to keep supporting self published authors. #selfpub @scottpalmerauthor.bsky.social @wickwelker.bsky.social @thefoolstale.bsky.social @timhawken.bsky.social #NotbertZsivicz

A wonderful, quirky and compelling historical fiction. Magic realism at its best. #ThePhoenixPencilCompany #RecentReads #BookSky #AllisonKing @goldsborobooks.bsky.social @4thestatebooks.bsky.social

They all look so good together. Top notch work. Kudos to everyone involved with these. #BookMail #RaymondEFeist #BookSky @jeffbrowngraphics.bsky.social @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social

9 down - 1 to go :) Can’t wait to have this ten book series complete on the shelf. @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social @aptshadow.bsky.social #ShadowsOfTheApt #BookMail

Such a good day to be a Carl 🪭 Kudos to @mattdinniman.bsky.social - this is just gorgeous. Look at that foil! #DungeonCrawlerCarl #BookMail #BookSky

Hey, Mickey! So, already read it twice, cuz just had to dip back in after the Mickey17 came out in theatres. Buuuut, what a solid excuse to read it again… 😉 Maybe I’ll read it 7 times just for the poetry ;) #Mickey7 #Rereads @edashtonwriting.bsky.social @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #BookSky

Ready for the rapture! #BookMail #BookSky #AmericanRapture @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social
