Any SFFH authors releasing a book in the 2nd half of 2026?

I've started reading journaling and have been wondering about the ethics of printing art from the internet to use on your journals. Any thoughts?

Finally reading my first Janny Wurts, whom I've heard great things about!

Got these two and can't wait for that third!

Psst #BookSky, are you looking for a new #readingchallenge? Because it's April which means the new r/Fantasy bingo card has just dropped! 🔗: www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co... Here are the squares my books qualify for: 💙📚🌎📚🪐

In love with this!!

It's aliiiiive! The Kickstarter is live! ...but also, apparently I'm not allowed to help anymore. I have been sternly told to take my medicine and go to bed. BOO, NICHOLAS.

Fire!!

Everything I love about fantasy and more.

We released a stack of fiction and non-fiction eligible for the Hugos this year. If you’ve yet to cast a vote (or GdM gives you an irresistible urge to turn your coat) then this is what we put out there and the relevant categories (check the following Tweets):

my life for a re-issue of the Sevenwaters series

This is such an author power move

GNoH NEEDS YOU. Last year, certainly the first half was a washout for me, but after getting proper psychiatric help, I am back with a reviewing vengeance. And GNoH needs more reviewers. If you'd like to volunteer your services, please drop me an email (jimmcleod(at)gnofhorror.com)

One month until The Rise is out. Pre-orders up now. Any reviewers out there who'd like a copy, hit me up!

my god I love this concept so much

Keeping with traditions, we waited until January to tell you which books we enjoyed in 2025. It's time for my top 10 reads of 2025! Not a bad reading year overall. #Top10ReadsOf2025 #booksky 💙📚

oh fuck yeees

That moment in a book where you google science stuff because from the way the author wrote the worldbuilding you *know* there's a detail here that sounds so real you must research it, my god I love that

Who would make a good #SPFBO judge/team -- preferably someone likely to want to do it 😀

The paragraph about TV Tropes is spot on. I can't bear that approach to criticism where the main aim seems to be asserting superiority to the work. People who'll identify an influence and be like "Ah, rumbled!" episodes.ghost.io/art-criticis...
