First #ReviewCopy from #BookMatch, thanks @justinleeanderson.com ! Post-apocalyptic dark fantasy with a dash of hope, found family, vampires, and a cast so large it might need its own map. Mixed gender main trio who are just friends and colleagues. How rare. How good. 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction

Want proof Green politics works? I spoke with @ernesturtasun.bsky.social , a Green minister in Spain's government, about how Greens in power are making real change to lower people's bills, protect the planet and stand up to Trump. The change when Greens win! 🎥 youtu.be/-wXfpFZm1zg

The Last Jager has now been out a month and I have to say I'm very pleased with the response. Thank you to everyone who's already left reviews on Goodreads and the 'zon. If you haven't already picked a copy up I've dropped the ebook price down to £0.99/$0.99 briefly, so grab it while it's hot!

I grew up reading DC comics. I genuinely cannot wait for these projects to come out. Milly Alcock was brilliant in Upright and House of the Dragon. Aaron Pierre was brilliant in Rebel Ridge and The Morning Show. Kyle Chandler’s been great for years. Can. Not. Wait.

Today our 3rd weekly email went out offering indie #ScienceFiction #Fantasy and #Horror books to our growing community of reviewers! I've had great conversations with the community, and after a development meeting this week, here are the most requested features we're working to roll out soon: 1/4

Well, that’s the first AI marketing email for the book I’m <checks notes> currently writing. Good luck getting that out to your “massive audience of engaged readers”…

Transgender people don’t even have to go into bathrooms to get assaulted. They can get brutally murdered in the laundry room.

The first two weeks of BookMatch have been incredible, and way beyond my expectations! Something that's important to me in doing this is talking to the SFFH community and making sure we're building something that's genuinely useful, so as to get good books in the hands of the right reviewers. 1/6

You know what you’ve been missing? That’s right The Four Beardsmen! We’re back with returning guest legendary Scotsman & author Justin Lee Anderson @justinleeanderson.com Fri 9pm (UK), 4pm (EST), Sat 6am (Aust) @davidtlist.bsky.social @tombookbeard.bsky.social @dbrook.bsky.social Ep link below

This Friday night at 9PM (UK) I’ll be live chatting to the Four Beardsmen of the Bookpocalypse. Come join us! www.youtube.com/live/UqSc94Q...

What a week! Yesterday, BookMatch sent out tailored selections of 43 #ScienceFiction #Fantasy and #Horror books to over 170 reviewers. One day later, we've already seen over 40 reviewer book downloads. Thank you all so much for being part of this community! Want to join us? 👉 bookmatch.co.uk 👈

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

Tomorrow, we send out our first mailing of BookMatch recommendations, and some reviewers are going to get a lot more books than they probably expected! But our reviewer community have been into the library and downloaded 26 books to review already! Want to join them? 👉 bookmatch.co.uk 👈

We're officially on the countdown now to our first mail out on Saturday! If you want to be among the reviewers to receive a tailored selection of at least 42 books this week in your inbox, get signed up now at bookmatch.co.uk #bookreview #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #indie #selfpublished

Obviously today in Scotland vote @scottishgreens.org for Scottish independence with human dignity and environmental survivability at the core. How we will get there remains to be seen, but we have to do it.

It keeps getting better. Day 4 Author signups: 64 Books in the library: 36 New Reviewers since launch: 20 Total reviewers: 170 #bookstagram #Horror #Fantasy #ScienceFiction #bookreview

Do you read books? Do you write books? This is a website & newsletter 💙 not another app (thank goodness) that helps indie authors & readers find each other! bookmatch.co.uk/why-bookmatch/

In my deeply optimistic ideas about how BookMatch would go, I thought it would be great if we ever got to the stage where we were getting as many as 25 books a week. It's day 3, and we just saw our 30th book uploaded.

Just signed up to Book Match! This seems like a great service, even if it the prospect of it made me paranoid enough to proofread my book one absolutely final time over the course of two days. If any-one wants to review Lost Talent, it should be there, and I'd be so grateful for the exposure! 1/2

It's been a brilliant launch for BookMatch! On day two, we've already got 21 books added to the library and 10 more reviewers signed up to join the community. And we already have reviewers downloading books for review, before the first emails even go out! Thank you all for believing in this idea!

Hey my fellow reviewers, have you signed up yet!?

BookMatch is LIVE! This mad idea I had years ago to create a one-stop matchmaking service for authors and reviewers of self-published #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy & #Horror is real! It's been over a year in the making, and we already have 150 reviewers signed up to the BookMatch community!

I am pleased to announce I'm officially a reviewer for bookmatch.co.uk 💙📚 A new site for reviewers and authors, check it out! I've just downloaded my first book to read and review, #songofthestag by R.M.Brown, a fantasy with a nod to Scotland's historic and folkloric legacy. @justinleeanderson.com

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

“Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and I’m quite sure I’m in the wrong song” is such a brilliant lyric, @toriamos.bsky.social. 😆 👏🏻 #NotTheEagles

Love this. Bit of perspective.

The surgeon might be drunk.

New ink, who dis? It’s the sword held by Lady Justice intertwined with the early starbird from Andor. To me it represents Rebellion/Justice and SciFi/Fantasy.

Meet @katiebruce.bsky.social! She might have cake...

Today in “Justin grew up in the US and can’t remember which spelling is which”, we have ‘plough’ and ‘plow’. SIGH

<Philip Fry meme> “Unsure whether terrible translation, deliberate satire or slightly racist.”

The real headline: crypto crook (who pleaded guilty to breaking US money laundering rules) plans to try and buy UK politics www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

I love that whatever I’m saying has clearly amused @emilyinkpen.bsky.social.

I ordered a takeaway from Just Eat. I am now a chef. 👨‍🍳

Exciting BookMatch meeting last night! Testing is complete and everything works as it should. We’re making some final tweaks just to make the site even more user-friendly and will be launching in April!

No idea how long this will last, so hey, go get a bargain!

No big deal, just The Lost War hanging out on @comicbook.com's list of 10/10 plot twists in Fantasy with some guys called James Islington, @joeabercrombie.com, George RR Martin and @brandonsanderson.com. 😎

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

Yup

Alt text goals.

Every Friday, we meet a BFS member & peer deep into their soul. Let's head for grimmest, darkest Scotland for grimdark (and humour!) writer @justinleeanderson.com, who grew up on Narnia before discovering the dark side through Joe Abercrombie. britishfantasysociety.org/meet-justin-...

Hey look. It’s me.

My schedule for my first @easterconuk.bsky.social!
