I savored every page of this #book. 5/5 stars. One of my favorite reads of 2025. My review for He Who Drowned The World by Shelley Parker-Chan is now live on my blog: landingsomewherenew.wordpress.com/2025/08/06/c... 💙📚🪐📚 #historicalfantasy #fantasy #sapphic #bookreview

It seems to me that a lot of writing advice boils down to “don’t try anything hard” which is pretty bad advice when you think about it. It’s like telling a body builder “don’t lift anything too heavy.” The goal is not to avoid making mistakes — it is to push yourself and see how far you can go.

Finally got a few character names down with a little over a hundred words written. Didn't think I'd be able to squeeze any #writing in at all during my vacation. I call this a victory. Happy 4th of July! #amwriting #writingcommunity

I picked up a signed copy of Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab at the lovely #readsandcompany bookstore in Phoenixville, PA! I highly recommend visiting their #bookstore. The rocket ship in their kids' room was very cool. 💙📚

Another fascinating article on #Lit Hub. As someone who has spent years in the bookselling space, so much of this article rang true. We need to bring unions back into more industries.

I may be a bit biased because I have read The Great Gatsby several times, but this was one of the best #lit articles I have read all year. Aron Solomon brilliantly connects timeless characters to our modern day reality. "If Jay Gatsby had survived the bullet, would he have had a case?"

It is brutally hot, but I found an adorable #variantedition for the first issue of #jeffthelandshark 🦈 I call that a victory! #comicbooks #comics #marvel #marvelcomics #marvelrivals

With #summer officially here, I took a look back on the #books I read this past #spring. I returned to #Murderbot, I prayed for rain with Touraine, I witnessed two Victorian lesbians try to get their parents together, and I'm wondering who will drown the world. 📚💙 #booksky #bookish #readersky

"It was easy to be cruel, to destroy, to fill the world with misery for the sake of what he wanted. It was so easy that it felt like fate." - He Who Drowned The World by: Shelley Parker-Chan These two lines have been living in my head for days. 💙📚🪐 #booksky #fantasy #bookish

#BookRecs to celebrate #Pride! What happens when the children who found #magical worlds are dumped back into the real world? I read this novella last year, and I couldn't put it down. The characters and atmosphere were incredible. The #magicalrealism fans will love this! 💙📚🪐 #booksky #fantasy

This year I've been challenging myself to read outside my favorite genres. I'll read a fantasy and then a historical fiction or a non-fiction book. But #buryourbonesinthemidnightsoil is definitely going to make me break that cycle. I can't wait to get my hands on that book. 💙📚 #booksky #bookish

I want the H.E.R.B.I.E one so bad. 🤖 #f4 #fantasticfour #mcu #marvel
