It's been long enough since I've immersed myself into #StarWars. It's like childbirth. I eventually forget the pain! I bought a Star Wars puzzle today to try to appease myself for a little bit before heading back into suffering.

Another Adrian Tchaikovsky release for 2026, and it's a graphic novel!! ⬇️

I supose at this point people knows, but if you are publishing SFF/H during this 2026 and would like to be covered on Jamreads, don't be shy of contacting me (either here, form or e-mail). Publishers, authors and publicists, feel free! Can't guarantee I will, but hey, always happy to check. 💙📚

Next Wednesday! Don’t miss it!

What are you up to this weekend? 💙📚 Looking for an incredible fantasy, scifi, horror, or historical fiction read? I’ve got you covered! Here are the January releases I’m most excited about! youtu.be/9C9bBIo_wZM

Did anyone figure out how to get all of the ornaments back into the box you were storing them in??

I spent a lot of time editing this one. I hope it shows. I feel like I've learned so much in the past year. It has been a fun outlet. youtu.be/MX9irqbu9Fk

This was a reply to my post that started with "people are so bitter this time of year". I mean, thank you for proving me right, but a going to the beach goal sounds nice, doesn't it? 🏖️

Reminder to my fellow web managers to update the year in your sites' copyright footers if it doesn't do so automatically!

People are so bitter this time of year. Yes, people can actually read a lot of books in one year. Popular books aren't bad. Buying books isn't evil. Reading goals aren't performative. Your reading preferences aren't the "right" way to read. You don't have to read deeply. Just read. ❤️📚💙

If any #horrorwriters have a release coming out in January, let me know and I’ll be happy to add you to my new weekly new release post on my blog. barksbooknonsense.blogspot.com?m=1

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet. 🤪

I obviously haven't read every book written in 2025 but of the ones I finished these were the ones that stuck with me. barksbooknonsense.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-f... 🩸📚💙

#bookmail Was in the mood for pirates, sea monsters, magic, and some swashbuckling action, and lo and behold! @shannonchakraborty.bsky.social creates a book treasure that contains all of these things and more. Started this on kindle and had to have a physical copy, because this is great stuff!

If you need to escape this terrible world, here's a book for you. 📚💙 barksbooknonsense.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-...

This was such an incredible reading year. I narrowed my favorites down to a top 10. 💙📚🪐 youtu.be/AbBY5IJgnS0

My baseball day just got worse. Now my favorite player is opting out of his contract. This sport is so brutal. Goodnight.

Daaang. Baseball season is over for me. All kinds of reading time just freed up for me in October.

This year has been rough to say the least and the bookish retail therapy has been strong. These are the 2025 new releases that I still need to read by the end of the year 😳 Join me in my TBR countdown journey 💙📚🪐 #BookTube youtu.be/NtIn-yV9n8s

BUCKAROOS i have just learned CAMP DAMASCUS kindle ebook will be on sale for the month of july. right now you can get it for just 2.99 so it is great time to ENTER THE TINGLEVERSE (also great time to hunt for hidden connections to LUCKY DAY in camp damascus pages) www.amazon.com/Camp-Damascu...

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

It's Mid-Year Book Freak Out time! These are some of my favorite videos to watch every year, and this year I got to make one of my own! 💙📚🪐 youtu.be/wp2dGIytke4

I *finally* updated the Horror Fiction Reviewer Blog Directory. I removed broken links and any site that had been hijacked by nefarious virus spreaders. I haven't been blogging since October but if you know of an active horror blogger please add. 📚🩸 barksbooknonsense.blogspot.com/p/an-easy-gu...

#BooksRead2025 #45 Another 5⭐️ read from @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social A coming of age/monster story with so much heart. Lucy was a fantastic main character, and the final chapters of this book really did a number on me. Sodergren continues to deliver gem after gem with nary a mention online. 😕

Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou is the June readalong over on the Horror Spotlight discord. You can join us here: discord.gg/tC4dGW2gFR 💙📚🩸

An astonishingly good book, just a spectacularly entertaining read.

I had to cancel my vacation plans for the week, but I got to stay home and read! I was able to read The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh and Gods of the Wyrdwood by RJ Barker. Not too bad of a staycation! 💙📚🪐 youtu.be/3UtDLgK1Md4?...

#CurrentlyReading The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh 💙📚🪐

A Week of Reading, Book Shopping & Changing My Mind About a DNF 📚✨ Also a 5⭐ read! // Spoiler free Reading Vlog 📚💙 youtu.be/vKTv2qyGrx8

Overgrowth, by Mira Grant, aka @seananmcguire.bsky.social (pub by Daphne Press) is a thought-provoking sci-fi horror novel that will delight those looking for a story that gets the best out of the premise of an alien invasion. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/over... 💙📚
