Once There Were Wolves 🐺 and Wild Dark Shore 🌱 were brilliant. I’ve been meaning to read Migrations for years, and finally getting to it now.

Such a cute street library 📚 🐈 I can’t pass one without browsing. When was the last time you gave a book to, or picked up a book from, a little street library?

50% into The Art of Legend. So keen to see how Wesley Chu wraps up this series (and a little nervous - please let it be perfect 👌 ). Could be heading for a place in my top 5 trilogies.

🎉 TOMORROW! 🎉 Get excited - this is going to be HUGE

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

The smile on my face reading this! (The Art of Legend, pg 144 of the HC)

QOTD: When you’re buying a new physical book, do you reach for the paperback (PB) or hardcover (HC)? I love how HC’s sit and look on my shelf, but generally prefer the reading experience of a PB (primarily where the novel is already weighty given its page count).

This map is so pretty! It’s from The Art of Legend. I’m having a lot of fun back in the world with these characters. Only 60 pages in - hoping to get some reading time this weekend

Loved The Art of Prophecy and The Art of Destiny. Bring on book 3! Wesley Chu has given us such a great cast of characters - Taishi and Qisami being personal favourites

Had already picked up a 700-pager, so had to resist King Sorrow. Next time! 📚

Been excited for this one! Her previous book, Once There Were Wolves, is one of my fav's outside of SFF. 100 pages into Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and it's brilliant. Suspenseful, emotive, beautiful. Impeccable character work. Lovely prose

@bookspotlight.bsky.social - Rebecca, love seeing you quoted by @danielgreene.bsky.social today on YouTube!

Congrat's on the new release, @lizdelton.bsky.social!

Have you checked out @thefoolstale.bsky.social's huge SFF Book Haul🐉? YouTube link below 🔗 So many beautiful books 📚- including this one (although I'm a tad biased)

I can’t thank Anderson Magalhães enough for the new title page for the signed and numbered edition of Perils of the Past—available from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social. Rare gems with a unique property are an important part of the story. It’s great to have gems featured on this stunning design.

🎉 @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, @thefoolstale.bsky.social and I are running a HUGE giveaway on Insta 🎉 If you’re there too, come celebrate the signed and numbered editions of Perils of the Past (by me) and Tomb of Tomes by Andrew Watson. Get in the running to win them both, plus a bonus art card!

I feel I need some 'sandcastle therapy' after finishing this one. Oh, it's incredible, don't get me wrong. But it's darker than I'd expected.  From the world-building to the prose, from the mysteries to the epic scale, this is one hell of a book. Bring on book 3!

Meeting IRL 🙌 - cheers, @hobbitholebooks.bsky.social. Great to catch up. Glad 🇦🇺 is treating you well. P.S., Everyone - Matt is one chilled, interesting, well read and very well traveled guy! If you’re not following him already, get on that.

The latest issue of Clarkesworld is out. Wow, I'm blown away by 'Remember Me in the Meat' by @sarahpauling.bsky.social! Incredible. Absolutely incredible!

Check out this cover reveal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A new review just landed on Goodreads from the one and only S.K. Putt - thank you! All the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Those don't even come close to how beautiful it is. Seriously, I struggled to pick which part of it to quote here! No better feeling than your book connecting ✨📖

❓What are you reading? 📖 I was a little nervous for The Strength of the Few. I loved book 1 and had heard mixed experiences about book 2. But pleased to say it’s working for me! Yep, all the POVs. 270 pages in and still a bit off half way (😂). Excited to see where it goes

Thrilled to announce that @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social is selling the jacketed hardcover of Perils of the Past: • Hand-signed and numbered • Limited to 100 copies • with a bonus A5 double-sided colour art card. I had a blast signing tip-in sheets. And the art cards came out so well. 🔗👇

Imagine these 4 books arguing over which is the closest to Perils of the Past 😂 📖 ✨

Excited to dive into this (and a smidge nervous, given some of the reviews I’ve seen and how much I loved book 1). Also, yeah, it’s a properly thick book!

Day made!

Love this interior artwork Anderson Magalhães did for Perils of the Past. So much so that I needed it on my wall. Just hung this Christmas present in the study - and so happy with it. Q: Do you have any book art, e.g. a poster on your wall or a tattoo?

Ahhh! My books are in a local bookstore!

Submitted Perils of the Past to #SPFBO. Fingers crossed I make it past the lottery (and, if you've entered, I hope you do, too). Best of luck, all. What an incredible comp.

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy is one of my most memorable reads. Can't wait to read her latest. I was blown away when I saw my library has 17 copies - and then again when all of them are out with 50+ people on the waiting list. Success well deserved!

Had a lot of fun reading Digital Ravens - thanks, S.K. Putt. This cyberpunk novella has high stakes plus plenty of tech and action. It could perhaps be read as a stand-alone but is best enjoyed after P.A.R.A_LYZE

So little to go now, so much hanging in the balance (my finger marking what I’ve read)

Just restocked Better Read Than Dead (awesome local bookstore in Newtown, Sydney, 🇦🇺) with signed copies of Perils of the Past 📖. Thanks for continuing to give my story a home on your lovely shelves and for supporting local authors✨
