@ceruleancynic.bsky.social I love your Dr.Helsing books! Quick question, do you know if Orbit plans to ever release a physical of the novella, or will it stay digital only?

Illegal Immigrants are NOT eating the swans. I am. And they’re delicious. In a red wine reduction. They’re a bastard to catch though. The beak is the best bit.

@shannonhale.bsky.social I am nearly 30, and I am rereading the Books of Bayern (for comfort, the world is scary right now.) An avid reader all my life, I think the portrayal of complex issues in this series set my expectation for fantasy. Thank you for not bubble wrapping the beauty, or the fear.

@girlsgonecanon.bsky.social not enough thoughts for an email yet, so have some pictures of my dogs. Bowie (white, no thoughts he's just Ken) Rhett (black, intelligent and tired of his brother)

I'ma tell you all what I tell my clients. You feel bad because it is bad. You are unmotivated to go to work because the world is on fire & the government is sending people to kidnap children and adults & maiming people who try to stop them. You are having a normal reaction to obscene circumstances.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a tech bro in possession of government contracts must be in want of a dictator.

The US is in its Feast For Crows era

Every book I read this summer serves to distract and prevent me from reading The Vampire Lestat so I can still be surprised when the next Interview season drops. Dear AMC, pls drop S3. Idk how long I can hold it off. #amc+ #interviewwiththevampire #thevampirelestat #louistat #annerice

We will never be in love again, but I can, on occasion, allow myself to love you for a few short minutes as I remember how gentle you are.

@kissedbyfirepod.bsky.social I'm listening to your newest episode drop at work, around 4:30, PLEASE PET THAT DOG PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

I work at a comic book store, and I approve this message.

The bladder always wins

I can't save the world, or my relationship. But I can read this book and experience joy for a little while. #booksky

It feels SO good to get back into a corny feel-good romance book! Life has been Big Stress for large and small reasons, from fascism to breakup, and I needed some lighthearted truly cheesy romance reading 🥰

Whether or not you believe in faeries, they will still fuck your mom and steal your lunch money

If you say your scented oils can help people sleep, sure! Why not? Pleasant smells, pleasant sleeping environment. But if I see one bottle marked "cancer" I am fuckin out of there.

I feel like we as a society have reached a point where we can acknowledge the nuance of both experiencing harry potter as a cornerstone of our childhoods while also being disgusted with the author's inhumane discriminatory beliefs. In case you were wondering, the solution is second-hand books

Apparently the algorithm has figured out that I'm single and is now suggesting bumble How do I get it to stop

What bribes do my favorite indie authors need in order to continue my favorite series? And how do I make sure Drew Hayes sees this post? #spellsswordsandstealth

Amazon’s book sale starts today, so if you’re a fan of books and further enriching a man helping destroy democracy, journalism, and the planet, happy shopping 🛍️ If you love books and your community, wait to shop your local indie on Saturday to celebrate ✨ Independent Bookstore Day ✨

There’s an 8 hour queue to see the Pope’s body but you can skip it if you have a 40 Day Fast Pass.

Women don’t want n*zi medals for being baby factories. They want libraries with rolling ladders, affordable housing and childcare, and like…a bubble bath once a week.

“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.” - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

All male dogs are bois and all female dogs are gorls. I will be taking no questions at this time.

Indie Bookstore Day is one of the most important days for your community’s bookstores. Punkass Amazon decided Apr 23 - 28 was when they needed to have their “Book Sale”. It is designed to snuff out Indie Bookstore Day on April 26.

I want to attend a class on monsters in literature. What features are considered monstrous? Mary Shelley, L Frank Baum, Bram Stoker, all had specific ideas about what made their creations monstrous. I want to hear a PhD tell me about it.

Now, then, forever

I made a spreadsheet to keep track of my Buffy graphic novel collection, what I have and what I need, and it gives me the same feeling as someone else brushing my hair.

The best ramen shop in town is playing Sabrina Carpenter's break up era music over the loudspeakers. So, that's how America's feeling

So publishers have been doing deluxe special editions of a bunch of romantasy slop, with variant covers/different spray edges, to get people to buy 5-10 different very expensive copies of the same book out of FOMO. Incredibly, it works.

Returning to the Shakespearean theater where I had my first period feels poetic after breaking off a relationship where I lost myself. I have always been my most whole self when surrounded by art and performance and stories.

Just discovered a secondhand book I got might be car-payment expensive and it gave me anxiety. So I'm gonna leave it in my attic for another few years, hopefully I'll forget it's there.

Post-breakup, I feel like I'm walking through a musical and I'm the only one that doesn't know it's a musical. Was the sun always this bright? Did everyone always smile as you walked past them? Who are all these happy synchronized people?

I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like “the MC was annoying and immature at times” like…. the MC is 13? News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes. #booksky

The value of having an anonymous account cannot be overstated. If I'm having relationship troubles, I can post deeply emotional and on the nose song lyrics, and no one who knows me is going to point out that I'm being "childish." Nah man, I'm being Cody. Cody is me.

Remembering the difference between reluctance and anxiety, as anxiety rises in my chest like a high tide making it harder to breathe every time I think about The Room Elephant

@rachel-aaron.bsky.social I adore your books, but whenever I order them from thriftbooks they arrive damaged :( is there a best way I can order your books in the future? (Trying to avoid dark lord bezos)
