Episode 11 - Behind Frenemy Lines by Zen Cho @zenaldehyde.bsky.social Bestselling author Nicholas Binge @bingewriting.bsky.social breaks down how Cho creates compelling conflict without killing anyone! Apple: podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/t... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6xV0... 💙📚

Past guessed Sunyi dean with the cover reveal of her next novel. Seems a bit unfair that she can taunt us with the novel when it doesn’t come out until May next year because the premise sounds amazing! Congrats! 💙📚

I don’t normally post memes but Tolkien understood that logistics trumps all. And as someone who worked with the Global Logistics Cluster and loves reading, this is sooo spot on hahahah 📚💙

The challenge for Nick was to pick a book where no one dies! This is our first Romance novel and it was great fun! Made me laugh out loud several times and was very fun to read. Join us Thursday where we breakdown what made this novel tick

One of the benefits of living in a francophone region is you get cool comic exhibits not purely limited to Manga or American stylings (not hating, just stating) Looking forward to attending the Töpffer Prize in a few weeks #prixtopffer 💙📚 #comic #comicbooks

Peekaboo @bingewriting.bsky.social it arrived. Finally time to find out whether I am learning the craft of writing from a good writer or not. 💙📚

Just a quick reminder, I have been curating a playlist of music to read to. Lots of ambience and textures to help you focus: open.spotify.com/playlist/4nG... 💙📚

Someone help Jackson out will ya?

We are 10 months into the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast and we have read 10 great books! But here are my 5 favourite. @hironennes.bsky.social -Leech @emmanewman.bsky.social - Planetfall @kshams.bsky.social - Homefire Samanta Schweblin - Fever Dream Amor Towles - A Gentleman in Moscow 💙📚 #bookish

This actually sounds mega fun! Going to give it a go :^ )

Currently reading a contemporary romance novel but I’m not sure I will ever become accustomed to written description of the human body in sensual way and I don’t know why. How does the book sky gang feel about it? Am I just insecure 😔 💬📚

Books that pass the ‘5 laugh test’? Aaaand GO! (A book that made you laugh out loud at least 5 times) 💙📚💬 #writer #writingcounity

Je me suis aperçu que les choses qui ne sont pas notées se perdent à jamais. L’écriture garde la trace de ce qui était fragile, passant, et si vital. En cela, elle permet de maintenir le vol même de la vie. Christian Bobin #ChristianBobin #booksky #poet #poetry

It’s an absolute honour to be joining such a cool and creative network! Cannot wait for future collaborations and growing together! This is the place to be if you want to learn more about the craft of writing!

Incredible location. Sadly I am not sure how I felt about the film. I really wanted to like it but nothing really stood out as spectacular

Any fans of the Page One Podcast who also listen to us? Well we might have some pretty huge news coming soon :^ ) @ukpageone.bsky.social #booksky #books #writingcomunity #podcast

Is it cheating, or can you say you read a book when you actually listened to the audiobook? 💙📚💬

I was given three choices of book for the next episode. The challenge for @bingewriting.bsky.social - a book where no one dies. Behind Frenemy Lines by Zen Cho @zenaldehyde.bsky.social When he told me the title I instantly knew it was this one! Cannot wait to get my teeth into it! 💙📚 #books

On this, the last day of Samhain, we celebrate the last day of harvest, the slow trudge towards darkness that yet promises light. What are your most hopeful or agricultural reads to share with everyone? 💬📚

Happy Halloween! Scariest book you have ever read… aaaand go! 💬📚

Wait #Warhammer 40k books are good?! In this episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast we talk: 🌀 Genre blending and how to get the best out of mixing styles 🌳 Xenobiology 🤦‍♂️ Boy literature and the problem with lacking lady energy 🥂 and we build on the lore of the lithe waiter 💙📚 #books

Release day for the next episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast. For those not familiar: Each month, @bingewriting.bsky.social picks a book that shines in one key aspect of writing, and we figure out what makes it work and continue our mission to write the greatest novel ever written. 💙📚

Ok we need to talk about Heelys as I have an important question. Yay or Nay on an MC in a fairly serious story wearing them consistently throughout a novel? 💙📚 #writingcomunity

I have discovered why this book was sold by its former owner -Stewart’s Melville College library in Edinburgh ‘Good condition’ my arse. But in all fairness it doesn’t bother me, I quite like it tbh. Gives the book character. If anyone knows what it says on page 121 lines 19-22 of Xenos thenLMK 💙📚

Another thing an e-reader can never emulate! I love buying a second hand book and finding the library tag in the front. In an odd way it makes you feel connected to the many readers of this same copy before you. So thank you Stewart’s Melville College Library! 💙📚 #circulareconomy #books #library

Been doing some more research on gender and reading. According to the US National Endowment for Arts ‘54.6 percent of women were estimated to have [read a fiction novel], compared with 35.1 percent of men.’ AND THIS WAS IN 2012! I dread to think what it’s like today! 💙📚

I know what this looks like okay but hear us out! I wanted to read something @bingewriting.bsky.social hadn’t read! Turns out, it’s actually pretty good! Join us on the 30th October (day before spooky day) wherever you get your podcasts on the Binge Reading Bookclub. 💙📚 #writingcommunity #books

I may have been living under a rock but I just found out men read far fewer novels than women. In my group I was the one that didn’t read until recently and I’m glad I picked the habit up again. Is it just not cool to read or is it other things? The internet can’t seem to give a good answer. 📚💬

🚨 Fun Alert 🚨 Fun Alert 🚨 Latest episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast is out now on all platforms! No but seriously this month we covered a pretty heavy book so be serious. 🏠 🔥 Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/t... 💙📚

Coming tomorrow our first episode on a piece of literary fiction! The immense Homefire by Kamila Shamsie @kshams.bsky.social A story we both felt very strongly about having both lived in the UK at the rise of ISIS and the subsequent Islamophobia that is still all too rife in England. 💙📚

@bingewriting.bsky.social said this novel is based on the Greek play Antigone so I’m intrigued to see how it plays out. Join us on the 28th sept on the Binge Reading Bookclub where we discuss Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie @kshams.bsky.social 💙📚

Ok boomer rant but I just saw an ad on national bloody television (channel 4) where they mixed up ‘fewer’ and ‘less’. I know language changes but it still irritates the tits off me! 💙📚

For those who missed our last episode! Here you go podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/t... @sunyidean.com rocked hard in this episode and we are so grateful she was our first guest on the #podcast 💙📚 We discussed the marvelously spooky and gory ‘Leech’ by @hironennes.bsky.social

I’m sorry but if heard the name ‘H P Lovecraft’ and was told they were an author with no context I would automatically assume they wrote crappy romantasy or overly specific smut. Just saying. 💙📚

This is what I imagine the MC of Leech by Hiron Ennes looks like. 💙📚 Maria of the Astral Clocktower. Thought she was such a hard boss, little did I know what awaited me at the end of the fisherman’s village.

Had a looooong chat with @sunyidean.com about what is and isn’t Gothic but something just occurred to me. Is gothic always necessarily horror? Defacto I think ‘gothic horror’ but would love to be shown otherwise 💬💙

Ooos forgot to hit that pesky ‘post’ button yesterday. Episode 8 is out, where @sunyidean.com and the gang discuss Leech by @hironennes.bsky.social What’s your favorite parasite? podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/t... Available everywhere (except YouTube hmmmmm) 💙📚

Getting ready to record the next episode with Sunyi Dean (The Book Eaters). If you were me, what would you ask her? 💬💙

Is there a correlation between being quite well adjusted and friendly in real life and writing horrific stories?

This time last year I sat down with some pretty dark thoughts and a full novella gushed out of me in one giant bleed. Anyway, it's coming out via Tor Nightfire on May 12. You into infinite corridors, ancient hunger, isolation, cannibalism, self-loathing, etc.? Join me in the darkness next May.

F you tumblr! I didn’t need this thrown directly in my face first thing on a Thursday morning! 💙📚

Congrats @bingewriting.bsky.social on the great panel at WorldCon @seattlein2025.org pretty cool to see him next to some fantasy legends @hollyblack.bsky.social, @mattruff.bsky.social, Caitlyn Rozakis and Leigh Bardugo (maybe he can convince some of then to be guests, let’s see…)

New goal: Little cabin in Alaska. Middle of winter. Alone. Writing a novel. Walking in the woods. Listening to the wind at night as I slowly lose my mind, the visions taking over, becoming the novel…

Great neologism from Leech by Hiron Ennes: Empretess - used to describe the usefulness of a piece of fiction. I guess like the morale of a story? 💙📚 🩸

If you missed last podcast episode, don’t worry, it’s here and available for all time. In 1000 years when a derelict server building is uncovered by archaeologists, we will be there, chatting about Sleeping Giants. Spotify: bit.ly/3DdnkqF Apple: apple.co/41wrNya 💙📚 #writingcommunity #bookclub

Sitting down with a nice podcast is a perfect Sunday activity. It’s like sitting down with two dear old friends to laugh and chat. It’s the hobbit hole of #bookish conversations :^ ) Spotify: bit.ly/3DdnkqF Apple: apple.co/41wrNya 💙📚 #writingcommunity #bookclub

“Alright, ten more minutes” said the naive reader about an hour ago, empty coffee cup before them and book still in hand. 💙📚
