Posted my first review of the year, for Carved Amidst the Shadows by MT Fontaine - a really strong debut epic fantasy novel! fanfiaddict.com/review-carve...

Happy new year, all! 🎉 It's been a great year of books—this is every one I finished in 2025, plus some honorable mentions. Also, at the end there's a little look at the books I published. It's been a wild ride, thank you for following along with me. Looking forward to 2026's reads & releases! 📚💙

My Top 10% Books of the Year (full breakdown on Instagram, but I limited myself to 6 per genre). 📚💙

CSOL just hit 10 ARC reviews on Goodreads. So thankful to everyone who has taken a chance on this strange little fantasy book, and I'm so glad they're enjoying it. 💙📚

I'm Darby Harn, author of Dead Malls, Ever The Hero, and more. This month I'm talking about my next release, the third book in my Stargun Messenger Trilogy: Astra Idari Taker of the Dawn. TOTD will be part of an epic #Kickstarter this spring 👀 #fantasyindiesjanuary #booksky 💙📚🪐

If you enjoyed TOOTHSUCKER—especially its final act—I think you'll enjoy CHROMATIC CREEP. It's wild, fun, and does a lot to build up the main characters. But, I have some mixed feelings. CC pushes the series in a direction I'm personally not as excited about. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-chrom...

Wrapped up December with two books finished. Already shared my thoughts on REMOTE CONTROL a bit ago, CHROMATIC CREEP will have a full review up soon. It's been a fantastic month, excited to dig into some new books from my holiday hauls next, haha! 💙📚

Reviewing final edits for AN AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO SETTING DESIGN: WORLDBUILDING & CARTOGRAPHY. @bardandbutterco.bsky.social (my copy editor) is currently saving me so many headaches... 💙

I don't understand why we need to share our "most disappointing reads" of the year. Let's lift up our favorite work and those authors instead of dragging down others. 🤷‍♂️

Man, I fucking love short story collections that play with weird ideas and formats. Some real gems in this one by @lyndseycroal.bsky.social so far (I'm about 30% in). Some light existential dread reading for my holidays 💙

Apologies in advance. This book is coming out Feb 3rd and I am about to become insufferable marketing it. But also I am so excited to share this, it's my first fantasy book I've published and I'm so proud of it. 💙 Pre-order info 🔗 www.adamcbassett.com/copper-ash

ICYMI, late backing for THE BOOK OF SPORES is available now! Snag your copy with seventeen fantasy, sci-fi, and horror stories feat. my own tale "Three Minutes and Counting." 💙📚 the-book-of-spores-a-fungal-sff-anthology.pledgebox.com/preorder

Writing this WIP right now is weird because it's a lot of exploring, testing scenes out, seeing how I like them and (if I do) leaving notes for myself to foreshadow them in earlier parts. I thought I'd landed on a writing flow I liked, but apparently not because this is kinda' working for me rn.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What if Final Fantasy and Elder scrolls had a baby? With airships and draconem (argonian like creatures) and magic and demons, this brutal chonker by @williamjadams3.bsky.social packs a serious punch!

I, MEDUSA by @ayanagray.bsky.social is a compelling, tragic take on the ancient Greek myth. Gray's re-imagining paints Medusa as a "victim of power, abuse, and those that enable that abuse." My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-i-med... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social #BookSky

Just ordered the first box of my new fantasy book, and some custom bookmarks to go with it. Everything should be ready to send in time for the release on Feb 3rd! 🙌🫠
