I’m so excited to help reveal the new cover for Catamorphosis by @shannonknight.bsky.social, a horror novel releasing in 2026 about a woman slowly changing into a cat. Cover illustration by Scottish artist Candra Hope Cover design by Winter Moon Press

I have another review! I want to do better about coming back on here. Bookstagram kind of took over a few months ago. This is the perfect post to share with yall for that. What an incredible book. I hope yall will check it out! This House Will Feed by Maria Tureaud Link to my review in comments!

One of my favorite reads in January was a hockey romance, the last book in my favorite romance series. It’s bittersweet but I love how it was finished out. The Wild Card by Stephanie Archer Check the comments for the link to the full review.

I just looked at my pinned post and realized it was favorite books of the first half of 2025. Sounds like it’s time for an update with my list of books I loved for that whole year. Well, not all of them. Just the top 39. 🤣

Yesterday was pub day for City of Others by Jared Poon, a super fun debut fantasy with great world building, found family, and—best of all—a ghost cat. Review link in comments!

A little silly today. 🤣 Current read: Dragon Cursed by Elise Kova

“It almost felt like a fictional memoir. I was surprised that so much feeling could be put into such a short book when it spanned across so many years. I usually struggle to connect with a story when it moves so much in such a short page count, but this was well done.” Selkie Moon by Kelly Jarvis

Scrolled through my kindle for a mood read that I’ve had on my TBR for more than a year. It’s been almost two years since I’ve downloaded this on KU so that’ll do. 🤣

It's that time of the year. I've agonized over this list long enough. I've put together a list of my personal favorite reads of 2025, with six "best of" and six honorable mentions. Hopefully you'll discover a few new favorites as well! 💙📚 Full post: 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/adams-top-6-...

“[The writing style] lent the book an unsettling feeling that wasn’t overwhelming but still put me on the suspicious side the entire time. The short chapters also kept convincing me to continue, to read just one more chapter. Just one more. Or three.” fanfiaddict.com/review-the-w...

Having a wonderfully quiet evening. 🥰 CR: The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden

Remember: DO NOT LEAVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF A BOOK BECAUSE AMAZON DAMAGED IT!!!! This does NOTHING to affect Amazon, only the author who had nothing to do with the damage! Amazon has an extremely lenient return and replacement policy, PLEASE just use that instead.

"A visionary, mind-bending space opera of electric drama and searing heart" @rainewilson.bsky.social "From truly quantum scale to galactic...told from the level of the human heart" @essahansen.bsky.social "An intelligent page-turner at the cutting edge of the genre" @julietemckenna.bsky.social

At @theshaggyshepherd.bsky.social's suggestion, I've finally gotten my books set up on Indie Story Geek, which means they're eligible for the Indie Ink Awards! If you've read and enjoyed my cyberpunk books, I would really appreciate a nomination. 🙏 Thank you! 💙📚 indiestorygeek.com/search?q=ada...

It's been 7 years and I am still so proud of this murdery, weird and ghostly series I created. If you're looking for grimdark and want to see an MC die in the first chapter then this is the trilogy for you 🙂

Happy pub day to H. Leighton Dickson and Ship of Spells!

The Bebe needs a new blanket for daycare so I’m trying to figure out my embroidery machine again after years of not using it.

Finished a nonfiction book earlier, got through a good bit of my audiobook already, and now I’ll be reading a couple of chapters of this one. I love my Sundays alone at the bookstore. 🥰

I’ve got a kid going to daycare again, which means I’ve got the next two weeks free if someone needs a copy edit or proofread. 😘

Guess what! I'm starting a podcast, and who better to join me for its premier than @krystlematar.bsky.social! I had a blast talking about Tainted Dominion, Magic Mushrooms, and of course, Spidussy. Keep an eye out for this hitting podcast shelves on Wednesday, November 12!

The Chosen One Con is the first book in the Lost in the Aether duology—a queer gaslamp fantasy of industrial magic in a world of designer enchantments and celebrity-branded potions. It's part of @the-book-bazaar.com crowdfund launching November 12th! Follow it: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Really enjoyed the first book so I jumped right into the second. Will finish this up today before jumping back to The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow.

Finishing this up today and then I’ll be waiting for the last book in both this series and New Camelot.

There’s a limit of 2 books a person can bring from home to the signing I’m going to for @alixeharrow.bsky.social so I’m trying to read a couple more before then to decide which ones I want to bring. 😆 I loved Starling House and some of her short stories, but have this, January, and Witches to go.
