OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

This one is by far my favourite picture from the lunar flyby. It looks straight out of a scifi film.

Countdown to the release of Faith of Beasts... Tell your friends and remind your enemies. www.amazon.com/Faith-Beasts...

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew. Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

What a fucking shot holy shit

Footage captured from passengers on an airliner above Florida, showing the exact moment the Artemis II mission lifts off.

"he has no point to make" would be harsh from a literary critic but andy weir says it about his own writing

For All Mankind is such a funny show

CR: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch 🪐📚💙 This cover is so cool

JF: Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky 🪐📚💙 This one was excellent, very close to HoOW for me. I just love how this series builds on itself, the characters, the story, the world it's perfect (see what I did there). The emotional pay off having read the previous ones is fantastic.

CR: Pretenders to the Throne of God by @aptshadow.bsky.social 🪐📚💙 Incredibly excited about this one

Coming soon. Tell your friends and remind your enemies.

Artemis II moving out of the Vehicle Assembly Building on its way to the launch pad. Launch for the first trip to the Moon in more than 50 years is scheduled for February 6. 📸 NASA

Mass market paperback is actually the ideal book format

Both Pretenders to the Throne of God and The Faith of Beasts this year. Already better than 2025

2025 wrapped up 🪐📚💙

Happy new year!! 💙🎉

JF: The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang 🪐📚💙 It definitely lived up to the hype. I loved it. I only wish it didn't try so hard to set up a sequel at the end.

I didn't know anything about The Sword of Kaigen, but I still wasn't it expecting to be this brutal 🪐📚💙

Aferah, for a personal project, 2017

I always forget to update my reads JF: Three Summers by Margarita Liberaki CR: The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang 🪐📚💙

Happy book birthday to A Mouthful of Dust, standalone novella in the Singing Hlls Cycle, out today! This time, Cleric Chih and Almost Brilliant the hoopoe memory spirit are investigating the town of Baolin, famous for its pork recipe and its famine. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Very excited for this one 🪐📚💙

I forgot to share my post-OBAA PTA ranking

The comments I see about Felisin in the Malazan fandom or other readers remind of the how Sansa was viewed for years in the asoiaf fandom but somehow worse? I wonder if it depends on how many female readers the series has

JF: House of Chains by Steven Erikson 🪐📚💙 Yeah I won't be forgiving Erikson any time soon

Malazan is pretty fucked up I was expecting THAT on a fantasy book

I went to see OBAA last night. Definitely overhyped, but that's not the movie's fault it was still good

Felisin is probably my favourite Malazan character so far. *** HoC spoilers*** when she starts crying after she finds out Ganoes is still alive?? 😭 But I can feel this won't end well for me

My PTA ranking before I watch OBAA on Thursday (no, I haven't watched Hard Eight)

CR: House of Chains by Steven Erikson 🪐📚💙 Two pages in and I already have no idea what's going on ah Malazan how I missed you
