#KindleBookGiveAway I'm in a bad mood, because the world is awful right now. Can't change the world, but I might change my mood. So, in the first reply, there are 5 copies of Robert Jackson Bennett's City of Stairs.

Let's, see, I'm either a former game warden now recruited to be part of the Time Patrol (Ghosts of Deep Time by Frank Landis), or a professional thief in a fantasy world where goblin plagues have killed all the horses (Blacktongue Thief).

Lord, yes! I cannot stand it in video. Tell me why I should buy your book. Do it on self promo Sundays at r/fantasy, your BlueSky account or somewhere, but write it down. If I have to drag through video I feel the urge to purchase going down.

GIVE AWAY! // AKA WE DID IT AGAIN! Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵) Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

Someone just tagged this post from November 2024. Maybe I should do a signed paperback giveaway? I'll pick one at 5 pm CST tomorrow at random from the likes. You don't even have to follow or repost ... but it would be nice if you did!

@elliottdotorg.bsky.social You might want to take a look at this. futurism.com/hertz-ai-dam...

@naomikritzer.bsky.social any chance there will be a passive aggressive gift guide for 2025?

I've been a fan of Penn and Teller for years and that Penn has the courage to do this makes me respect and admire him more for it.

Just finished The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher School bus, the otter and overall - dammit Ursula! @tkingfisher.com Was good stuff. Not going to read again any time soon. May save the Twisted Ones for another day.

#kindlebookgiveaway Since it's the official start of the Christmas season and I'm in a bad mood, i thought I'd try to change it by giving away 5 copies of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. This is one of my favorite books and I really should read it more often.

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions. The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity? An image forms in the machine. A classroom. No trousers.

Folks, can y'all help me out? I'm trying to find a bit of fanfic that was in my 11/18 morning feed. I know was on AO3 but didn't bookmark the skeet. It was Bucky texting Sam during the events of The Thunderbolts. Google is being notably less than helpful. Anyone able to help me find this?

Reading the advice emails released today show “journalist” Michael Wolff gave Epstein about how to use Trump actions to control him and thinking about all the media men and women who’ve covered for predators. I touched on that horrific reality in below essay.

So, does anyone know if Judge Ellis has brought in Bovino over ICE's tear gas party this past weekend?

Ballet [1/4]

@tkingfisher.com is Snake-Eater your first SF novel? Asking because there's a moon colony. No, it's not at Quartz Creek, but I have to know.

Software archeology for real folks, not just in Fire Upon the Deep.

Review of Dead Hand Rule www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co... @hiddenschools.bsky.social @maxgladstone.bsky.social #TheCraftWars

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Every race. It’s basically been every race. Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers. Just everything.

#KindleBookGiveAway Because I'm in a foul mood and trying to change it, here are some books to give away. Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn. If you have a dark sense of humor and like seeing women in the lead, this book is for you. Available to folks in the US only. Sorry about that.

@murderbooks.bsky.social for @marthawells.com book signing.

And here I thought she'd outlive Keith Richards and Willie Nelson. She will be missed. www.npr.org/2025/10/16/1...

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

I see this and I question my life choices and the office job.

@naomialderman.bsky.social could you please point me at the sources you used for Part 4, chapter 3 of The Future? I'm having to deal with AI enthusiasm and would like something other than misguided boosterism. I may even make something of boxes and colored marbles... Thank you.

So, not having a bad day, but figured why not brighten the world up a little bit and give out one of my favorites. Marrow by Robert Reed #KindleBookGiveaway

"He reviled, belittled, and demeaned large numbers of my fellow Americans, but he was quite cordial to me" sets my teeth on edge.

Because the world is a bad place right now and I'm in a bad headspace, here are 5 copies of @karlschroeder.bsky.social 's _Stealing Worlds_. #KindleBookGiveAway

@aptshadow.bsky.social I know you have very little push on the publishers, but any chance the Bioforms/Dogs of War trilogy could get a set like Children did?

@naomialderman.bsky.social I was reminded of The Future today by our tech media totally failing to grasp your description of algorithmic/iterative learning. Anyway, thank you for a book that taught me something. And that I enjoyed a lot.

#KindleBookGiveAway Life is hard, I still can't fix this blasted report. But, here's 4 copies of Tripping Towards Mars, which I have, but _haven't_ read yet. The premise sounds great though.

🌟 GIVEAWAY 🌟 It's been six whole months since my humorous alien invasion anthology WHY ON EARTH hit shelves, so let's do a giveaway! Repost, follow, and comment your favorite alien below to enter! I'll pick a winner in a week. (US only, sorry! I cannot afford international shipping alas)

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.

Alt text. This is pretty awful, but probably what has to be done to preserve the service at all. IMLS still has a chance- please make sure to show support.

@nerdnitehouston.bsky.social is there a Nerd Night July 5?

Last First Snow book club tomorrow at Craft Sequence subreddit! www.reddit.com/r/CraftSeque... 19:00 GMT. Please bring your questions, opinions and impression of the book. Hope to see you there!

@tkingfisher.com I've been getting interested in birding (your enthusiasm helped with that) and I was hoping you had some advice for beginners. Any thoughts?

Finished Moonbound by Robin Sloan and was really impressed. Well written, with a light touch and a build up to a resolution that was a surprise and felt right. And according to the word of God, it is part of the Penumbraverse, so I'm off to check out the earlier books.

Not gonna lie, I was trying no to laugh like a hyena when I read this.

Batting clean up from the great Discworld sale, here are 2 copies of Going Postal. www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... #KindleBookGiveAway

Because @kithrup.bsky.social gave away vol 1 and this is one of my favorite series, here are 5 copies of vol 2 to give away. #KindleBookGiveaway www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee...

Still boggles the mind that they managed to have a rogue squadron film in production and fumbled it. "do top gun but in space" It's the easiest pitch EVER MADE

If kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help? Why, yes, book piracy is fine.

#KindleBookGiveaway Because the world is a pain, and Discworld books are on sale, here are 10 copies of Going Postal, my favorite Discworld book. Links in the comment.

@theguardian.com you might want to do anything plagiarism check.

Well, I did it. I used 5calls.org to contact my reps. Pity my senators are Cornyn and Cruz. @algreen.house.gov is a good one though.

#KindleBookGiveaway Things are bad right now so giving away some books seems like a good idea. @scottwesterfeld.bsky.social The Risen Empire is a favorite. At least tough SF space opera and some fun concepts.

"All the presidents and prime ministers and kings and queens are going to be coming to beg me to lift the tariffs.” There's his main motivation right there... his overwhelming childish need for fealty is his main driver. The best thing the rest of the world can do is to stop feeding it.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.
