Book 4: “Jade Legacy” - @fondalee.bsky.social 5/5 Fonda Lee absolutely stuck the landing of this incredible trilogy. Heartbreaking but inspiring. I often thought I knew where the series was heading only to be completely wrong in the best possible ways. Highest of recommendations for this series.

We're thrilled to announce the panel of authors who will select the recipient of the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction: Nicola Griffith Mat Johnson Fonda Lee Darcie Little Badger Peter Rock Anyone can nominate work for this $25,000 prize; nominations will be open March 1st through 31st.

A book that opens with my current mood. The best time to pre-order @fondalee.bsky.social’s The Last Contract of Isako was the moment the option became available in bookstores. The second best time is now. (Out from @orbitbooks.bsky.social in May)

I'll be reading at @bklynbooksbooze.bsky.social next month!

Glad to see THE LAST CONTRACT OF ISAKO on this list! Transfer Orbit is a great newsletter to subscribe for SFF reviews, news, and articles; highly recommend.

Corporate samurai in space you say? Yes please! The Last Contract of Isako by @fondalee.bsky.social, out in May, sounds like a whole lot of dystopian cyberpunk fun: corporate espionage, twisty shadowy secrets, and a legendary swordswoman on one last mission on an inhospitable planet ❄️ 🪐💙📚

Drawing Details from my work on The Green Bone Saga, by @fondalee.bsky.social. (1/4) Prints of this piece are still available through the end of the week at www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints! The drawing is everything (and it isn't easy for me), so when it comes to drawing: stay cut, keke 💚💪

I feel wildly blessed to have had Tommy and Micah illustrate my books, like I genuinely feel sorry for my own readers who aren't able to get every one of the stunning editions

It's so, so cool when different artists work on the same book, seeing everyone's interpretations of the characters and how they bring about the tone of the story, which elements each person is drawn to, etc. I also got to see Tommy go absolutely super saiyan on this painting, which was also cool.

This is going to look SO GOOD on my wall

I honestly just signed onto Bluesky to say that I was listening to Untethered Sky again and that it was both wrecking me and healing me and this is what I see! But seriously, read this book.

If you haven’t read this from @fondalee.bsky.social you’re missing out on some top-notch story-telling in a tight package. And if you haven’t read her Jade trilogy - which are very different from this but kick just as much ass - uh, why not??

"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

No.

One of my favorite books, I constantly recommend it💚 It's also $2.99 on @bookshop.org if you'd like the purchase to support your local bookstore (make sure you affiliate your local bookstore before your purchase so your purchase can support them): bookshop.org/p/books/jade...

The JADE CITY ebook is an Amazon Prime Day deal today (Tuesday) for a ludicrously low $2.99 which is much less than what I paid for boba tea yesterday so if you still haven't jumped on the Green Bone Saga bandwagon, this is your sign👇

Going to sign more books today! You asked, so @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social has ordered in more copies of the reissued Green Bone Saga paperbacks with the badness new covers. Order your copy here: brooklinebooksmith.com/collections/...
