Sometimes it astounds me that a book I'm in is in a library. 😭 I'm. In. A. Library.

I'm at it again with the book reviews. Check out my adoring rambles about Dear Stupid Penpal by @rascalhartley.bsky.social, published by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social: www.leootherland.com/post/dear-st...

The best way to start a year of book reviews? Why with a book from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social of course. Check out my review of Split Scream Volume Seven on my blog and Goodreads: https://buff.ly/4gWMfNV https://buff.ly/3C4uJrX

Destined to be enemies, prophesied to destroy each other. Can choice sway the course of predetermination, or are Jamie and Silas bound to play the hero and the villain on a stage they never asked to stand on? 🏳️‍🌈 LGBT 💫 Magic school 🖤 Dark romance #P2Pit #UW #PW #YA #F #RF #W

No better way to close out a year of book reviews than the same way I brought the year in, with a book by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social .

M. Shaw and a collection of short stories from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social ? I think yes.

I wrote a little something yesterday for the last day of Pride and posted it on my blog. Have a read: www.leootherland.com/post/colors

For Pride month, I'm highlighting three LGBTQIA+ books. From the Belly by @emnays.bsky.social, from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social. City of Snares by April Yates, from @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social. A Case of Madness by Yvonne Knop, from Improbable Press. Reviews: www.leootherland.com/blog/categor...

At the beginning of this Pride I spent a little time thinking about what Pride means to me. Have a read on my blog. www.leootherland.com/post/the-pur...

I usually post my goals of the year on January first, but hey, hey, this year I posted them on Leap Year! If anyone is curious what I'm going to be up to this coming year, take a peak at my blog! www.leootherland.com/post/goals-a...

It has been forever since I posted. But, I have done some reading over the last few weeks, which of course means... book reviews! Many thanks to @tenebrouspress.bsky.social for the ARC copy of Mouth. www.leootherland.com/post/mouth-r...

Most people have heard the phrase "Memento Mori," but what is "Memento Vivere?" They're two sides of the same coin. Memento Mori -- remember you must die. Memento Vivere -- remember to live. We named our press after the latter, because we choose to live, and live well.

Yep, it's official. Come give us a follow. We're live, people!

The customary year in review post appears on December 31, but what about the uncostomary year in review post? Oh, those blink into existence on January 3. Naturally. www.leootherland.com/post/2023-re...

The winter holidays are almost over for another year, but you can still find me, and @ahawkwrites.bsky.social, in the WritespaceHouston holiday gift guide @aanpress.bsky.social's The Librarian is a book for all the book lovers in your life. www.writespacehouston.org/holiday-gift...

This book is amazing.

There's nothing like friends sending you pictures of one of your books and one of your fellow authors. 😍 A.P. Hawkins of @aanpress.bsky.social's The Librarian met the lovely D. Ynes Freeman! Wish I was there!

It's beautiful to see a big pile of books with one of my stories inside. @aanpress.bsky.social creates the loveliest books.

What I don't like about new social media: having to find all the people I found before all over again. What I like about social media: when amazingly talented authors I've followed elsewhere join and follow me. 😭

Further proof I am a goblin. I go into a meeting and greet my colleagues with, "Hi. Sorry I'm late, I had to bury something."

What do we do when we're not writing?? Why we read, of course! Have some book reviews: https://www.leootherland.com/post/dehiscent-review https://www.leootherland.com/post/godly-heathens-review
