Making a thread for my #readsofawe books! Finished this last night, 4⭐️

let's goooo

Starts tomorrow at sunset!

"So Familiar a Gleam," my sapphic contemporary Sleeping Beauty retelling, is out now! It's about how much modern dating sucks and the ways we hold ourselves back from capital-R Romance. Also hot butch girls with swords. You'll love it. waterdragonpublishing.com/product/drag...

Just under three weeks to go! What are you guys planning to read?

Want a starter pack of writers whose fantastic fiction and poetry has been published by Kaleidotrope? Well then, my friend, today is your lucky day! go.bsky.app/5CJe9db

Zoe Kaplan (@thez.bsky.social) author of “The End of Rain” in The Future Fire #70, joins us for today’s micro-interview about her story, mountains, and other friends. press.futurefire.net/2024/08/micr...

It's that time again! Announcing the #readsofawe Readathon 2024! FAQ When is it? Sunset 10/2 to sunset 10/12, from the beginning of Rosh HaShanah to the end of Yom Kippur, also called the Days of Awe (hence the name)

“The Witch Who Lives Next Door” by @thez.bsky.social from @kaleidotrope, “The Speech That God Understands” by Jonathan Edelstein from @BCSmagazine, and more short fic recs from @ClowderofTwo here - locusmag.com/2024/07...

Omg???? I’m so stunned and grateful for this review!

"The Witch Who Lives Next Door" by @thez.bsky.social is "a lovely read" that "explores the ways that witches are powerful but also how they try and use that power for justice..." kaleidotrope.net/archives-2/s...

My fabulist flash piece, "The End of Rain" is reprinted with The Future Fire! It's sweet and sad and no longer paywalled 🌵🌧👯‍♀️ futurefire.net/2024.70/fict...

The incredibly talented @illustratedpage.bsky.social is launching a writing inspiration deck! It's soo pretty, you know you want it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sar...

I’m still rooting for Elouise Bridgerton to be gay, but if she isn’t, and Francesca is, that’s actually the funniest thing ever. Like, she finds out there’s people out there whose romantic lives don’t involve men *and she isn’t one of them*?? She’d spiral so bad

Let @thez.bsky.social introduce you to “The Witch Who Lives Next Door.” kaleidotrope.net/spring-2024/...

NEW STORY 🪐🚀👫 out in Of Gods and Globes III! books2read.com/u/4EzyQM

When I say I’m floored to be on this list, I mean I literally fell on the floor when I saw it

The Spring issue of Kaleidotrope features so many fantastic new stories and poems, I need a whole thread just to list the authors! www.kaleidotrope.net

Yuri Is My Job ;)

Come to our #readsofawe Buddy Read discussion with @rmromeroauthor.bsky.social TOMORROW at 7 est over on instagram!

#readsofawe 2023 is over and I got a blackout! I read 16 books, met some incredible people, and had so much fun! Thank you to everyone who read, posted, came to a live, or liked any of my posts. Wrap up:

#readsofawe photo challenge: Ritual The Chateau is coming in my Tallis bag to Kol Nidre services, and will keep me company through Yom Kippur! Have a meaningful holiday everyone 💕

Last year I read We are Satellites by Sarah Pinsker for #readsofawe , and this year I read Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea. I own Song for a New Day, too--hopefully it doesn't take me ANOTHER year to pick it up, because Sarah Pinsker doesn't miss.

#readsofawe photo challenge: first fruits I've eaten tons of lychee flavored foods before, but never the fruit itself. It's so sweet! And what better to pair it with than The Lost Ryū by Emi Watanabe Cohen, an equally sweet middle grade book about cross-cultural connections, and also dragons!

#readsofawe photo challenge: Fall Vibes The Thick and the Lean is the newest release by one of my favorite authors! In a world where sexuality is normalized but eating for pleasure is taboo, one girl finds herself deeply hungry. Which is relatable, tbh.

BUT HAVE YOU SEEN MY COVER REVEAL www.instagram.com/p/CxbDn2pLsLI/ New short story collection! With cover art by Galen Dara! Thank you @thez.bsky.social for doing the reveal :)

#readsofawe photo challenge: blue and gold! I read Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon earlier in the week and it absolutely kicked my ass! What an incredible book.

www.instagram.com/p/CxbDn2pLsLI/ I got to announce @bogiperson.bsky.social 's new cover!

It was so good!!

#readsofawe photo challenge: Apples and Honey The Hotel Neversink is a Catskills Gothic about several generations of a Jewish family and their relationship to the hotel they run, their secrets, and one another.

www.instagram.com/bibliogato/l... we're reading now!!!

#readsofawe Photo Challenge: Tradition and the Future From one of the oldest ways to read, to one of the newest! I've just begun Terraformers, but it slaps so far.

TODAY at 7pm est on @katherinelocke.bsky.social ‘s instagram!!!

If you’re looking for a #readsofawe short story, why not read one of mine? A Jewish girl, a cute robot, a dystopian future—what’s not to like? Free to read, link below: hyphenpunk.com/fiction/veri...

I've been saving this one for #readsofawe ! It's an anthology of Jewish alternate history stories, featuring some really big authors. I'm so excited to read it!

Doing #ReadsOfAwe? I have stuff that qualifies! GOING BICOASTAL is 2023, YA, LGBT, romance, & contemp COOL FOR THE SUMMER is YA, LGBT, romance, & contemp My stories in THAT WAY MADNESS LIES, THE RADICAL ELEMENT, and IT'S A WHOLE SPIEL are short stories and the latter two are "frum rep"

#readsofawe Photo challenge: Your TBR Happy Erev Rosh, y'all! This is an ambitious reading plan, but I think I can get it done. I'm so excited about all these books! Not pictured: The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz, which I'll be audiobooking

Do people still do #throwbackthursday ? #readsofawe 2022 was so fun, even thrown together at the last minute. This year is going to be even better!
