On the #podcast this week, we’re reading a book that our Patreon supporters chose for us: THE PRACTICE, THE HORIZON, AND THE CHAIN by Sofia Samatar! Listen to us talk about unjust systems, degrees of betrayal, and more here: linktr.ee/fictionfanspod #booksky 💙📚

We are on a mission to protect clients from an evil corporation and are trying to disguise the fact we're just watching Murderbot! @boswellbooks.bsky.social's Oli Schmitz, joins us to check the perimeter of this show!!! #booksky #murderbot #appletv linktr.ee/OwwrPod

Closing out a truly epic 2025 for @sffaddictspod.bsky.social with a livestream on Dec. 1! Come join @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social Greta Kelly @jajminton.bsky.social @owwrpod.bsky.social and me for a live discussion of our favorite reads of the year 🎉

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

THURSDAY—my paperbacks will all be 25% off on both my personal shop and at The Crafty Bookstore! This includes pre-orders for my upcoming post-apoc fantasy novel. 📚💙 Both stores only deliver to the US, but for everyone else please contact me directly and we can possibly work something out. ;)

Hannah and I are avoiding eye contact and checking the perimeter with the help of Boswell Book Company bookseller, Oli Schmitz!! That’s right!!! We are chatting all about Murderbot the tv show!! Beware, this episode is full spoilers for the show and the book series. #podcast #tv #murderbot #scifi

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead! So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.

NEW REVIEW: Been a bit busy lately so it’s a weekend review. Today’s review is the new one by Jordan Loyal Short which expands the Dragon Reich world. www.fantasybooknerd.com/2025/11/book...

Happy Friday! We're starting the day with a review of A Dress to Save Me by the wonderful @tessahastjarjanto.com as written by @jamreads.com If you're looking for a short story to start your weekend, then look no further! www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-...

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

New episode is out! We are covering the second half of Tana French’s In the Woods and of course we are conflicted over the ending. We also chat about Frankenstein and Silksong! #podcasts #booksky #silksong #frankenstein #dublinmurdersquad

Today we’re celebrating the release of The Dead Man by @patricksamphire.bsky.social, a prequel to Shadow of a Dead God that introduces us to the character of Mennik Thorn for the first time! The entire series is worth checking out: www.readindiefantasy.com/a-spotlight-...

Severance Season 2 Episode 7 was deeply emotional, heartbreaking, disturbing, and beautiful to watch. We have been dealing with infertility for years, so my husband and I cried a lot while watching the episode. This episode really made me/us feel seen. #severance

The Dead Man, my Mennik Thorn novella, is published tomorrow in ebook and paperback! Thank you to Paul for this great review: paulgzareith.ink/book-reviews/the-dead-man-by-patrick-samphire/ Pre-order the book here: books2read.com/thedeadman

ICYMI, today is the last day to get these and dozens of other awesome fantasy, sci-fi, and horror eBooks on sale!

New Review: Morning Folks. Today’s review is one meant to put out last week but kinda forgot. Anyway! Today’s review is Crossroads by Laurel Hightower. www.fantasybooknerd.com/2025/11/book...

Bob’s Red Mill is THE BEST. Bob died and gave the company to employees. King Arthur is also some sort of collaborative but I forget the details.

He’s had many names, lived many lives, worn many disguises. 🎭 a magician’s last act 💖 a burgeoning romance 🗡️ brothers at odds 📓 21 pages 🔖 universal link: mybook.to/H6oGDdB 💌 itch.io link: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/the-final-ac... 📖 goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Idk if anyone has been to a Penguin Project musical, but I highly recommend it. We went to a production of Seussical that my sister’s friend was in and it was extremely fun. Don’t think I’ve ever seen actors enjoy performing this much.

I really enjoyed Frankenstein (2025). It’s easily my favorite adaptation of the book (so far). The set and costume designers did a great job and Elordi was great, too. #frankenstein #booksky

Temps might be dropping, but supporting your indie bookshop will keep you hot 🔥

REVIEW: “If Guillermo Del Toro adapted Jules Verne like an Agatha Christie mystery, you’d end up with something like THE SALT ORACLE by @rainewilson.bsky.social It’s oceanic in its scope and beauty, and like the sea, it left me in a state of awe.” Full review 👇🏻 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-s...
