I’m taking a break from Bluesky. If you want to keep tabs on my bookish activities you can find me on IG @ alitescape. You can also subscribe to my blog. aliteraryescape.com

"BLACK TIDE SON is another thrilling adventure in this fantasy pirate adventure series, helped along by the addition of an extremely morally gray character." My review of the second book in the WINTER SEA trilogy by HM Long!

I guess idk how Bluesky works bc all these non-followers are interacting with my last post yet when I post reviews etc it’s like pulling teeth to get any type of interaction from followers or “moots” as the kids used to call them on twitter. (& let me b*tch, I don’t need an explanation thx)

Some exciting reads on Celeste's TBR. Just what you need on cold wintry days! 🥶

📚Book Review📚 Today it’s my stop on the blog tour for Daughters Of Nicnevin by Shona Kinsella #DaughtersOfNicnevin @shonak.bsky.social #flametreepress @annerandomthings.bsky.social 💙📚 #booksky #bookreview #bookblogger #books #blogtour

Is GOOD SPIRITS better than LOVELIGHT FARMS by B.K. Borison? Because I read the latter and thought “fine,” but the former is getting such praise that now I’m curious and kinda want to read it.

Today, I’m getting into the true spirit of Christmas - and that means MURDER, of course - with Alexandra Benedict’s new novel The Christmas Cracker Killer. A group of guests marooned in a luxury hotel. And a killer among them… Lovely! Out now. bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/2025/12/revi...

I read Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree. To be honest, I was a little disappointed, but not for the reason you might expect. Come see why this might be a perfect book for you despite my tepid reaction. #bookblogger #booksky #bookreview

Hi, good morning, this is another random PSA that AI-generated images suck and they definitely don’t belong in creative spaces where you’re promoting books written by real people. Have a nice day.

And a new #T5T / #Top5Tuesday is now up at my blog! Today's topic was Top 5 Covers of 2025. It wasn't easy because I had quite a few GORGEOUS covers, but I managed to whittle it down! #BookBloggers #Blogging #Books #CoverLove #BookSky📚💙 twirlingbookprincess.com/2025/12/top-...

Today I'm reviewing AS MANY SOULS AS STARS by Natasha Siegel! 💙📚🌈 "Another Siegel book that will sit on my shelf of favorites. The characters and their relationship, as well as the story's premise, were all incredibly compelling... Siegel is now an auto-buy author for me." 4.5⭐

New Review - today for Monday a treat of a novella Mirror Marked by @laviecestmoi.bsky.social is both a fascinating bit of storytelling and exploring who the main character is - strongly recommended! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/12...

I might've got a bit heated talking about "Bookish Etiquette" in today's #LetsTalkBookish post. Why is it so hard for people to be kind, respectful & show basic decency to other human beans? Is common sense still common, lol? 🙃 Help. #BookSky #BookBlogger #BookBlog dinipandareads.com/2025/11/28/l...

Well, this morning’s sourdough baking is not going as planned because the fridge breaker tripped last night, which means my dough overproofed in the fridge and is barely rising in the oven. 😭

Here’s my sourdough loaf from Thanksgiving! 😊

Already thinking about how I want to track my reading next year, so I decided to break down and compare the options for all of us to figure out what works best!

Thanksgiving Book Tag (2025) Happy (early) Thanksgiving to those of you in the United States (and anywhere else you may be celebrating)! 🦃 I did this Thanksgiving book tag in 2022, 2023, and 2024 and thought it'd be fun to continue the tradition with choices from books I've read this year. Thank…

#Eternity was the most surprising movie I've seen this year and left me considering the afterlife ever since! If you're curious as to why this movie was such treat and what afterlife I'd pick if I could choose, you're in luck. Just read on! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/11/27/c...

Does Rating a Lot of Books Low Mean You're "Bad at Choosing Books?" pagesunbound.wordpress.com/2025/11/25/d...

December is right around the corner. So, it's time to talk about anticipated releases. Thankfully, there are far fewer of them for me than in the last few months.

"If you like mysterious relics and curses, weird realities, and daring adventures, THE LAST SOUL AMONG WOLVES is here for you." My review of the latest from author Melissa Caruso!

I’ve been reading more from my owned books backlog in an effort to offload what I won’t read again (my floor is a third shelf 😅). Problem is I’ve decided so far I’ve really liked most of what I’ve read, so they go into the “keep” pile. 😂

🌞 Morning! 🌞 I *finally* read EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES by Emily Fawcett and I understand the hype. 🪐📚💙 Check out my review for it here! aliteraryescape.com/2025/11/24/e...

The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers has amazing magical bookshops and fantastic characters! Thank you, Orbit, for the ARC. #bookblogger #bookreview #TheBookshopBelow #orbitbooks
