December Book Haul!! What? Book buying pause? No idea what you're talking about 🫣 9 day book buying pause to start December & then BAM! Can I go longer with a #NewYearResolution in 2026? In the meantime, here's some book porn.... #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #books #SciFiSky #haul #bookhaul #StarTrek

Book 84 of 2025 PLUTO: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 1 by Naoki Urasawa & Naoki Urasawa What a great opening to a highly recommended series! I can already see what the hype is about. Wonderful storytelling! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #MangaSky #manga www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

December collected editions haul is in!!! Excited to add 2 deluxe editions to the shelves in @tomking.bsky.social The Human Target & Planetes Vol. 1 from @darkhorse.com Also picked up vol. 2 of Superman The Triangle Era #ComicSky #superman #dc #haul #graphicnovels #omnibus #dccomics

Book 83 of 2025 Book 69 of 2025 The Empty Chair (Rihannsu, #5) by @diane.dianeduane.com A wonderful conclusion to the Rhiannsu TOS series! I loved the lore Duane added to the Trek Universe! Go read it! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #StarTrek www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

One week until #BacklogReadathon begins! The goal for this readathon is to spend those last few languid days reading a bit more than usual. It’s a great way to finish up an annual goal or get to those dusty TBR books! #booksky www.backlogreadathon.com

I'm holding out for the deluxe HC (hopefully!!) because I already own the single issues. This is an EASY recommendation!!! Waid & Samnee have created something special here - it's endearing in so many ways & Samnee's art is perfect for this run. This is a MUST READ!!! #ComicSky #Comics #Batman #DC

Trio Tuesday! Jason Moran - Ten original release 2010, vinyl release 2024 from @bluenoterecords.bsky.social One of the most significant jazz albums of this century IMO. #TrioTuesday #VinylSky #Vinyl #JazzSky #NowSpinning

Nytho is a contender for “Side character MVP”—This likely relates to Edgar Ellwood, everyone’s favorite coolheaded but slightly unhinged psychologist. Neuen is a contender for “Best setting” and “Best morally gray character”. The lead Levi would be for the latter.

The @coodestreet.bsky.social Advent Calendar series has decimated any hopes I had at whittling down my TBR. So many great authors w/new books coming out in 2026 and/or great recommendations! Each day a new interview & new books added to my buy list. Wallets beware🤑 #BookSky 🪐📚💙 #SciFiSky

I appreciate Diane Duane offering some insight on this one for us #StarTrek (see her comment below). What a great editor to add a little fun into a page that normally gets overlooked! #BookSky🪐📚💙 #SciFiSky

Comics & #Vinyl this morning! My favorite composer & my favorite violinist: Julia Fischer w/the Russian National Orchestra playing Tchaikovsky #VinylSky #NowSpinning

The high temp....yes HIGH temp today was 3 F (-16 C). So after some morning reading I had the music cranked & went on a vinyl cleaning session! Lots of ear candy slated for tomorrow!! Vinyl, coffee & comics is the agenda! #VinylSky #Vinyl

Book 82 of 2025 Clarkesworld Issue 230, November 2025 by Neil Clarke One of my fav from @clarkesworldmagazine.com this year by @tadethompson.bsky.social Also: R.H. Wesley, D.A. Xiaolin Spires & @izom-chisom.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Awe expands our sense of connection with others and soothes our central nervous system. Orbital is a book that invokes awe & reminds us of the beauty of being alive on this wonderful planet. #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #SciFiSky

I was going to start my book buying pause in December since I had ordered some books on 11/30. Then withdrawl, itching & the sickness started & I had to feed the dragon. So I'll aim for 2026....I don't have a problem & can stop anytime... #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #bookaddict #sciencefiction #SciFisky #sf

With a lot of posts discussing year end awards, I wanted to highlight a book which seemingly has gone under the radar. Rich Larson's short story collection Changelog is a must read IMO & should be on all the year end lists. Get a copy today from @patrickswenson.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky

The first new release I'm looking forward to in 2026!! January 13, 2026 "Blessed is the Rot" by @sherisingerling.bsky.social Preorder now from Bookshop.org #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #SciFiSky

Book 81 of 2025 Upgrade Soul by Ezra Claytan Daniels Consequences & themes start at the surface layer & unfold to depths reminiscent of Apple's TV show Severance (although Upgrade Soul was created before the show!) #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #books #ComicSky #booksreadin2025 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

It's Trio Tuesday! e.s.t Esbjorn Svensson Trio Live in Hamburg - 4 LP vinyl collectors edition from Act. Spin an album & share one of your favorites for #TrioTuesday #VinylSky #Vinyl #JazzSky #NowSpinning

Wow, "The Apologists" from @tadethompson.bsky.social is EXCELLENT! No spoilers, but the story morphs in unexpected & creative ways. A definite contender for year end awards. U can read for free @ link below, but u should go support @clarkesworldmagazine.com so they can continue to support authors!

Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band - Landmarks Double LP, such a wonderfully thoughtful album! #VinylSky #Vinyl #JazzSky #NowSpinning

First up this morning as I settle in for some graphic novel reading, the master @vijayiyer.bsky.social & his trio on Accelerando #VinylSky #Vinyl #JazzSky #NowSpinning

Finishing off the #StarTrek Rihannsu series with book 5, The Empty Chair and loved this little addition to the cities on the title page. Not sure if I missed this on the other books is this is something new, but appreciate the bit of humor 🤣 #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #SciFisky #sf

Book 80 of 2025 Clarkesworld, Issue 223, April 2025 by Neil Clarke Catching up on a back issue of @clarkesworldmagazine.com The strongest issue of 2025!! 6 of 7 stories are +4 stars. *See comments below for links/info* #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

At 13 minutes this was a nice bite sized interview w/ @marthawells.com Want to know about claustrophobia & writing Murderbot? Well, you'll just have to listen! #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #SciFiSky #Murderbot

If I didn't follow Star Trek, I'd swear this was some sort of parody. It's Beverly Hills 90210 in space??? Which one is Brenda & which one is Dylan? Will there be a Peach Pit in space? Cancelling my Paramount+ seems more & more like a wise decision! #StarTrek #SciFiSky

Time for a little Monk! One of my all time favs on the keys! #VinylSky #Vinyl #JazzSky #NowSpinning

9 degrees F (-13 C) today so a perfect day for comics, coffee, & vinyl! First up, Clifford Brown & Max Roach #VinylSky #Vinyl #JazzSky #NowSpinning

Book 79 of 2025 Redemption Ark by Alastair Reynolds Big ideas buried in an overly long story. Much in need of a good editor willing to cut this in half. Enjoyed a bit more than Revelation Space. #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #sciencefiction #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #sf www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Book 78 of 2025 My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Vol. 2 by Emil Ferris from @fantagraphics.bsky.social EASILY one of the best things I've read this year! Must read, must own, must savor! Photos in comments below. #BookSky 💙 #books #ComicSky #booksreadin2025 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I've really enjoyed all of @gunnardewinter.bsky.social work in Clarkesworld this year! His writing makes me think about SF in a broader perspective. I often think back to stories I love and how they relate to actual science. I definitely rec. you give them a read!!! #BookSky 📚🪐 #SciFiSky

This has been on my mind since seeing it yesterday....the idea has wormed its way into my brain. I'm seriously considering a book buying pause to focus on all the unread (as well as what I want to reread) books on my shelves. Full year pause? Read 50 books? Need to 🤔 on this! #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #books

November Book Haul!! I actually came in under budget this month...it's a true holiday miracle! Also picked up a Kindle copy of Sheri Singerling's Neuen. Beyond The Aquila Rift was a rec from @quitebrief.bsky.social....finally got my hands on it! #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #books #sciencefiction #haul #bookhaul

Mahler Symphony No. 5 Rudolf Schwarz & The London Symphony Orchestra #NowSpinning #VinylSky #Vinyl

November @thestorygraph.com wrap-up!!! Not planned, but great to see 2 short story collections (Clarkesworld Issues) rated highest in my top 3. 11 months down, 1 to go! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #sciencefiction #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #sf #comicsky

Catching up on @clarkesworldmagazine.com and this story by Zhang Ran is outstanding!! It's thoughtful, informative, creative, and expertly told. Highly rec!! Ran is also included in @kyliu99.bsky.social collection "Broken Stars" #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky #sf clarkesworldmagazine.com/zhang_04_25/

Thank you @thebookerprizes.com for their giveaway of signed copies of Samantha Harvey's wonderful Orbital!! I was fortunate to win a copy! This was one of my 5 star reads from earlier this year & I'm grateful to have a signed copy!! What a great gift!!! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #SciFisky #sf

Really intrigued by this one!! High praise, SF, and a behemoth at 1,200 pages. I much prefer physical books, but a 1,200 page HC seems unwieldy. I think the ebook will provide a better reading experience. #booksky 📚🪐 #SciFisky

Aliette de Bodard, Ray Nayler, Lavie Tidhar..... this just got added to the buy list!! #booksky 📚🪐 #SciFisky

After reading Wireworks in September issue of @clarkesworldmagazine.com I picked up @sherisingerling.bsky.social book Nythom. Just read The Seed from the April issue of Clarkesworld & picked up Neuen for $0.99. The Seed is EXCELLENT & u should check it out (link in comments) #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky

Book 77 of 2025 Clarkesworld, Issue 229, October 2025 by Neil Clarke One of my fav stories this year from Liu Maijia. Other highlights include works from @carrievaughnco.bsky.social @isabel.kim & @phoebebarton.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I've read the 3 Clarkesworld stories from @louisinglishall.bsky.social and all of them are excellent reads, worthy of award consideration. If you haven't checked out his work, I highly recommend it. I'm always excited to see new stories from Hall in Clarkesworld! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky #sf

Book 76 of 2025 Book 69 of 2025 Honor Blade (Rihannsu, #4) by @diane.dianeduane.com This may be my fav of the series to date. Everything is heating up & I can't wait to dive into the finale! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #sf #StarTrek www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Book 75 of 2025 The Heist of Hollow London by Eddie Robson Normally a heist has clues throughout to who's behind the deception. Lack of groundwork left me feeling like the ending was a gimmick. Can't recommend. #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #sf www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Book 74 of 2025 Clarkesworld, Issue 228, September 2025 by Neil Clarke STRONG issue of @clarkesworldmagazine.com Favs included Robert Falco, @sherisingerling.bsky.social & @louisinglishall.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #booksreadin2025 #SciFisky #sf www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Really enjoyed @garykwolfe.bsky.social thoughts & he's definitely got me interested in reading Adam-Troy Castro’s “The Three Thousand, Four Hundred Twenty-Third Law of Robotics” & T.J. Klune’s “Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!” Looking forward to getting my hands on this one! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #SciFisky

This was my favorite (amongst a very strong issue) from Septembers @clarkesworldmagazine.com It's a complete story, but left me wanting to explore this world & what transpired. Clarkesworld continues to expose me to new, wonderful writers! #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #books #sciencefiction #SciFisky #sf
