#TBRuary Day 16: Fact or Fiction About 90% of what I read is fiction, so I’m going with a nonfiction book today. Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by Austin Kleon I write books, so reading a book about how to be creative seems like it could be helpful.

#TBRuary Day 15: New Genre I want to read more horror, so I definitely welcome recommendations! Some I’ve enjoyed: The September House, Silvia Moreno Garcia (Mexican Gothic, Silver Nitrate, The Bewitching), We Used to Live Here, The Spite House, and Delicious Monsters

Think about what that library could do with an extra $2 million a year

I decided to treat myself to a take and bake pizza. As the worker handed it to me, I realized they’d made a mistake on my order. Instead of saying nothing and just accepting it, I…le gasp… asked them to correct it! Did I still apologize for asking them to take the black olives off? Yes😅

Does this meme sell my book or nah

Unpopular opinion: “Testing” someone instead of communicating what you’re looking for is manipulation.

For the first time since Jan. 5, there were no ICE flights out of Minneapolis Friday, probably because of this ruling. Got to have an impromptu celebration IRL tonight with @ottergoose.net and @jjindc.bsky.social🙏.

A snippet from the chapter I'm currently writing #WIPSnips #WriteSkhy #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#TBRuary Day 14: Ask the Expert The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog: And Other Serious Discoveries of Silly Science by Carly Ann York A friend recommended this one to me, and it just sounds like a fun nonfiction read

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Y'all the patron who "mostly reads horror" but liked the two fantasy books I picked for book club ALSO liked the romance book we did yesterday😎 The book: The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest

#QueerWritersChat A4: Ness is bi and polyamorous 💖

reposting because I got the hashtag wrong😅 #QueerWritersChat

#QueerWriterChat A3: Everything jk, but also Okay, I'll choose 1 thing: Developing characters that readers will root for and want to see together while still having a satisfying reason of why they can't get together right away

#QueerWritersChat A1: Yes! It's an adult fantasy romance with a queer throuple. This is my first time writing a) adult b) romance as a central theme and c) a throuple. Apparently, I like to challenge myself😅

Hey #QueerWritersChat! I'm Leah (she/her) and I mostly write fantasy books because everything is better with magic ✨ Right now, I'm writing the first draft of my Be Gay Do Crimes (placeholder title) WIP. I only have a few more chapters before I get to write the end!

Welcome to #QueerWritersChat! Our theme this week is: Romance! (Or lack of) Questions will also be reposted to @queerwriters.bsky.social. Remember to use the hashtag so we can see your answers! Save promo for the outro, please! Introductions at :05! @theodoresnapdragon.bsky.social #QueerWriters

It’s wild that the B&N Book Con has no Black authors or Latine authors, which is so egregious given that they’ve announced the line-up during Black History Month & at a time when Latine people are being targeted, abused, & deported unlawfully. Mind you this is put on by the NYC flagship store.

I just want the chance to graduate without the constant fear of tuition & to afford the dental tools I need to keep going. In G@za, even basics cost more than we can manage. I really hope this reaches kind hearts. Ur support or even a share could make a real difference🙏🥺 chuffed.org/project/layl...

When to show vs tell 😅 I can almost guarantee there will be a "show" comment at least once per chapter from my CPs when they're reading my first draft haha #WritingPrompt #WriteSky

Five years ago @ashoncrawley.bsky.social posted a thing about care that feels really timely again. www.facebook.com/ashon/posts/...

#TBRuary Day 13: Neurospicy An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon The main character is autistic, and I think the author describes themselves as non-neurotypical. Why I want to read it: I read and loved The Deep by Solomon, so I'm excited to read more of their work.

#SFFChat A4: Here's a favorite snippet that includes the word "love":

#SFFChat A3: I really enjoyed The Last Binding series by Freya Marske (adult historical fiction fantasy romance) and the Hart and Bannen series by Megan Bannen (adult fantasy romance).

#SFFChat A2: Ness, my MC, is bi and finds herself in a throuple with a woman who used to be her rival and a himbo prince. As for friendships, Ness has her two crew members: Britha and Vivee (who are in a relationship together themselves).

#SFFChat A1: In my Be Gay Do Crimes WIP, it's a queer normative world 🌈

#SFFChat Hi! I'm Leah, and I write fantasy books. Currently, I'm working on the first draft of my Be Gay Do Crimes WIP. A favorite treat of mine is tres leches cake with raspberries 😋

#TBRuary Day 12: Disability Rep It’s All in Your Head by Sabina Nordqvist Two members of an online chronic pain support group agree to fake date only to develop real feelings This just came out, and I am eagerly awaiting for my copy to arrive in the mail!

#TBRuary Day 11: Social Strata The Duke Heist by Erica Ridley A historical romance on my TBR because the second book in the series is sapphic and I want to read the books in order

This is Minneapolis: I fed my kids dinner 1.5 hour late because I learned their classmate's dad was abducted by our federal government this afternoon and needed to jump in to coordinate support for the family. We're so close to hitting the goal on this GoFundMe. Please donate and share!

My book is out today and I got to write an essay reflecting on disability in romance for LitHub! Check out the article below🥹

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

It's important that we celebrate not only Black history, but the Black present and future. There is an absolute plethora of amazing Black comic artists and creatives in this thread. Definitely check it out and consider financially supporting a creative or two ✨💖

#TBRuary Day 10: New Horizons Our Vicious Oaths by N. E. Davenport I’d love to visit a land where dragons are real, and I’m currently reading another book by this author: The Blood Gift (sequel to The Blood Trials).

please buy things from my shop i need money for living 👻 www.galdrecraft.com

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

#TBRuary Day 9: Yet to Come I forgot to post this morning, but I’m going with Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove An interstellar ship’s passengers keep getting murdered, so the ship joins forces with a team of monsters to take on the culprit: Dracula. This one sounds wild and fun!

I never noticed this either.

#TBRuary Day 8: A Caribbean Heiress in Paris by Adriana Herrera It’s set in 1889, and I’d like to read more historical romance fiction with main characters who are People of Color.

#TBRuary Day 7: Life Stages Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) by Jesse Q. Sutanto I enjoyed the first Vera Wong book, so of course the second book is on my TBR. I’m sure I’m in for another funny, cozy mystery. And also, the title alone should make you want to check it out!

Predictive text basically said, “I know your Be Gay Do Crimes WIP is horny” Left image: what predictive text thought I should write next Right image: what I actually wrote next #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Feeling kind of cute in my cardigan

Gotta stop writing to pack because I'm visiting my sisters this weekend, but I hit 75k in my Be Gay Do Crimes WIP 💃
