"THIS BRUTAL MOON delivers a tense finale that avoids putting too neat a bow on the problems of the galaxy." My review of the final book in THE KINDOM Trilogy by Bethany Jacobs! Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the ARC!

I have a new #BookReview today for THE WHITE OCTOPUS HOTEL by Alexandra Bell, which I adored! 📚💙 It’s “a steady, somewhat slow-moving stream of magical realism, star-crossed love, time travel, and reflection on grief and trauma.” aliteraryescape.com/2025/11/10/t...

Look at me finally reviewing a book I read *checks notes* seven months ago. 😆😅

Been having a rough week, so cracking open a lighter read: COFFEESHOP IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.

Halloween might be over, but gothic vibes are never out of season! To this end: Two of my favourite fantasy novels set in distinctly gothic cities: City of Last Chances by @aptshadow.bsky.social and The Gutter Prayer by @mytholder.bsky.social. My write-up: wp.me/p8LkPa-35Y youtu.be/PlmCeM_TEUU

time to step away from the starbucks drinks, y’all. do not cross the picket line. unions are how we fight back. corporate monopolies are heavily consolidated right now. it’s a large part of why prices are high and wages are low.

"Though this story is decidedly more action-packed than the others set in this world, it never loses sight of its heart-filled message, making it another worthy entry in the LEGENDS AND LATTES series." Thanks Tor for the ARC of BRIGANDS AND BREADKNIVES!

Vinay reviews James Logan's highly anticipated sequel of The Silverblood Promise, THE BLACKFIRE BLADE: "A sequel that leans on the adventurous strength of its predecessor while not being afraid to go dark and emotional as needed" More: tinyurl.com/2j25pejc @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

How's everyone's reading going this week? I'm currently working on my ARC of THE LOST RELIQUARY, an intriguing fantasy tale of a divine warrior who secretly wants to kill the god she's bound to serve - and she's just been tasked with finding and safekeeping a weapon that could do just that.
