It's ADHD awareness month, and The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle features my ADHD chatterbox of a protagonist! If I had a dollar for the number of times while querying that agents called him "a lot" or "too much" (whether praising or complaining about the voice) 🤣😅 itch.io/b/3300/adhd-...

Listening to Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. It’s really improving my Thursday. #booksky #starwars

A little excerpt from COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS. This book acts as a standalone, but marks the beginning of a new post-apocalyptic fantasy series (maybe a duology?). Advance reader copies are available until October 9th! 🔗 www.adamcbassett.com/copper-ash

I read The Lords of the Summer Season: A Psychedelic Fantasy by Peter W. Blaisdell. Come see what I thought! #Booksky ##bookblogger #fantasybook

So far Hannah and I are enjoying White Knight by Jim Butcher. But it’s still early and Harry Dresden could fall in love with his sister. We cover the first third of White Knight and also chat about board games, a podcast we saw live, and some books we’ve been reading recently. #booksky #podcast 💙☁️📚

I have a feeling it's going to be a cold winter. On top of that, we are hitting high numbers of unemployment and rising costs. I expect a rise in homelessness. I am crocheting hats, scarves, and blankets for the homeless. If you want to donate yarn, DM, I will show receipts/proof of donation

The Chaotic Orbits series by @bethrevis.bsky.social is SO good! Action, lots of humor, heists, romance, politics. 👏🤩 Highly recommend to fellow sci-fi lovers. #booksky #scifi #sciencefiction

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

RARE from Alex Parker Publishing is an anthology of stories about secrets, which tend to lean horror. Stand-outs (for me) include "Remedy" by @rowanwolfauthor.bsky.social and "The Stuff Legends are Made Of" by @esraye.bsky.social. Really enjoyed this; honored that I was able to be a part of it!

If you live in a blue state, you're neighbors with some of the most vitriolic conservatives. I'm in New York, home of Elise Freaking Stefanik. So it shouldn't be so hard to understand there are many good people in red states. Nor should it be hard to sympathize with what they go through.

I got the game “a Gentle Rain” and I love it. It’s a relaxing, solo (or more-I just feel like solo works better) game, where you place tiles in an attempt to connect lotus blossoms and create blooms with tiles. I have the bloom edition and it’s beautiful 🪷🦦 #boardgames @incredibledream.bsky.social

We’re finishing up Claire North’s Last Song of Penelope trilogy this week with a discussion of impossible love triangles, poorly thought out revenge strategies, and more in THE LAST SONG OF PENELOPE! Listen here: linktr.ee/fictionfanspod @orbitbooks.bsky.social #booksky 💙📚

We're all just one moment away from a different life. One diagnosis, one crisis, or one accident away from a completely different life. Life doesn’t ask before it changes, so this is just a reminder to not take your health or physical abilities for granted.

I read War Heart by Ashley Capes. What did I think? "War Heart is a skillful combination of epic fantasy with very real danger and a coming-of-age story." @ashcapes.bsky.social #WarHeart #bookblogger #booksky
