New Book Review! Dan Brown Evolves Brilliantly In The Secret of Secrets theforgottenfiction.com/dan-brown-ev... #booksky #bookreview #book #review

"The Language of Liars" releases today. All the quotes below are accurate. This is the kind of sf story the novella format works perfectly for. Read it!

Librarians are amazing. You can ask them about a book you think might have been a dream, but you’re pretty sure you read when you were eleven and the cover was blue…and they’ll find it! 💙📚

This is just so cool. A Roman-era mummy recently excavated in Egypt contained a fragment of papyrus with a section of the Iliad.

"Independent bookstores make quiet comeback as big chains dominate retail" "About 422 indie bookshops opened in 2025, up 31%, defying predictions of retail consolidation"

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Any indies have SF/F/H books coming out in May? I'm building next month's new release post, and there's room for new titles! You can submit the book info using the form below 😊 #booksky #writingcommunity docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

There is no way to prepare readers for walking into the dream that is the astounding, infinite labyrinthine halls of Piranesi’s house.

I agree with @read.theforgottenfiction.com SO strongly: no reader is sufficiently prepared for the "astounding, infinite labyrinthine halls of Piranesi’s house." It's a book I will return to many times. Bought at an independent bookstore! #Piranesi
