My birthday has been utterly magical and amazing. Go past!me for good planning and aiming at achievable goals! (I have seen seals! I had blissful minutes soaking in a saltwater heated pool with *no one* nearby. I had one of the top desserts of my life.) (More details/photos later this week.)

For whoever needs to know that this sign exists... public service timeline cleanse, figure a lot of us need one recently

Man idk who needs to hear this but we gotta choose hope. Long post is long but I promise #booksky #cozyfantasy I have a relevant tale for you. It's about how books save lives.

Did I draw @lynnstrong.bsky.social 's characters again? Yes ok shut up their series looks cool xD The kitty is from Chai and Cat-tales and the dog is Belle, the neighbor's dog and Fitz's OG best friend before Liam.

💙📚🪐💕 Delighted to wake up to crossover cozy fanart of my Archivist and @laurenbarnette.bsky.social 's Fitz from Dr. Pembernathy's Cure for Death. That is the librarian sweater of a man who surely appreciates how to keep the 'romance' in the 'necromancer' (and I'm sure they're trading book recs too!)

In this week’s #podcast episode we’re talking Discworld comparisons, framing devices, and more in THE FEATHER AND THE LAMP by L.N. Hunter! Listen here: linktr.ee/fictionfanspod #booksky 💙📚

Looks worthwhile! #Disability #CripCoop

#spoonieauthchat Hi, I'm Lynn, a wildly overscheduled spoonie who just released a book last Saturday and will be a panelist on the "Creating with Chronic Illness" panel at Flights of Foundry Sep. 26-28. Also playing the repost-for-trivia game at this highly nerdy thread: bsky.app/profile/lynn...

I love A.J. Lancaster's cozy gaslamp fantasy romance series (Stariel), and I was thrilled to back her new Kickstarter (which is already fully funded, only 1 day in). You can, too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ajl...

#HearthCon2025 is coming on Oct 11-12. 2 full days of FREE virtual #CozyFantasy author panels. Catch me hosting Gaslamp and Regency with Olivia Atwater, Wren Jones, R.L. Medina, and Celia Lake, and Monster Romance with Catrina Bell, Marie Cardno, and Lila Appleton. More info at lazydragonbooks.com.

💙📚🪐 Hey #romancelandia and #cozyfantasy fans, this Free Cozy Fantasy Romance BookFunnel collection started on the 15th instead of the 1st so I'm a little offset in sharing it round, but hey -- #freebooks! books.bookfunnel.com/faroseptembe...

Less than a month until@cozythedayaway and @Hearthcon! The ultimate weekend in cozy of panels, a bardic hour, and a big BIG sale for books! #cozyfantasy

😋📚💙 Here's the #foodhistory and #cozyfantasy snack section of the trivia thread -- anyone want more nerdly food fun? The repost trivia game is still open. 😸 (The weaponized fiber arts are a couple items upthread. :D And LMK if you need a food sensitive recipe remix?) bsky.app/profile/lynn...

Who'd have thought "be human and talk to people" might be valuable in the Era of Chase the Algorithm everywhere else? There's a reason this is my only social platform. Okay there's several and many of them involve red hatted family and Meta's doxxing. But this is a big one. Wish I had more time tho.

I love Claudie’s work. So if I tell you this is one of the most powerful books I have ever read by “autolove autobuy” standards of good… I’m just saying it is really damned good and I urge you to add it to your immediate next read spot.

So there's now multiple branches and folds in the trivia thread, yay trivia! I think if I repost from here folks can read up even if they can't read down without unfolding? Still trying to figure out Bluesky's threading criteria, not aided by how the unfold button is tiny & dark gray on black 😅♿️

So, uh, I didn't realize pinning a thread post would mean the first three posts would always be part of the pin. Is that annoying to folks, or nah? Should I unpin it and remake one that's just got the triptych in it, or leave it as is?

So of course the night before I have a ton of stuff to do on release day is when my body says no sleep. Also this sign says "watch out for cats suddenly pouncing" and I'm trying to figure out if I can make it my header bc seriously HOW OFTEN DID THIS HAPPEN FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE IT A ROAD SIGN?!?!

I mean I've been watching Max for years now but apparently if you are interested in gaming you must also be in unrecognized need of a side order of fascism (and I wish I couldn't list at least 8 game streamers responsible for this correlation :/ ) So if you find yourself in need of an algo reset...

I feel you. :D I have a very opinionated Eldest Archivist character in a future book who was not about to let a piddling detail like death prevent her from completing her TBR pile. (She much prefers her post-life without knees..)

4.25/5⭐ I love a good cozy fantasy mystery, so I was quite happy to jump into this. I really enjoyed the concept of perfume magic & how important scent is to memory #BookSky #Bookreview #cozyfantasy #cozy #cozymystery #mystery #fantasy #ARCreader #ARC #BookTok #Bookstagram #BookTube 💙📚🪐📚⏰📚💬📚📸

In Medieval Egypt, the "what you do when" cycle very much does not match expectations for "fall activities" in Northern Europe. So, having just come through the annual Nile flood, they've got refreshed soil and wet fields ready for planting, and fall is when they're planting rice and grains.

for Something Else, LOLs from D&D session: * The Girl with the Dogs grooming owlbears * Owlbears in happy hoodies * "Today we have an extra large rage cage because it won't fit in the EZ-bake oven" * Owlbears gone floofy from too much blow drying * "It's my party and I'll smite if I want to"

I have a book release in 3 days that had a "who would like some fluffy dogs and cats romping?" marketing plan that did not count on the Feds invading Chicago, NATO shooting down Russian invaders of Poland, or a gun death that somehow even breaks through the chronic drumbeat of everyday gun deaths.

💙📚🌈📚🪐 #cozyfantasy Just got the ebook release notice for @katevalent.bsky.social 's Driftcap Inn! I'm about 2 chapters in and it feel like a queer-positive remix of the Ghibli version of Howl's Moving Castle, starting at the end of the movie when the housekeeper has already civilized the place...

The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

Anthropic will pay at least $3,000 for each copyrighted work that it pirated. The company downloaded unauthorized copies of books in early efforts to gather training data for its AI tools. www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Well, this puts some very useful words around something I tripped over when I first had the chance to identify myself without my body and voice being part of folks' language assignments?

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Terry Pratchett's HOGFATHER, which was not randomly chosen, but I picked it because the Friday news dumps are horrible. Truly, truly horrible. Not that it's any better around here, some of these things are terrifying. #KindleBookGiveaway #GNUTerryPratchett

ngl I have been struggling HARD with the small-business-ownership-and-marketing-performance part of being an #indieauthor lately. The mountain of to-dos and ads-to-buy to get Haroun noticed through the info firehose is insurmountable and I blame myself for all the things my #disabled self can't do.

A Cozy Fantasy About a Magical Cat Shelter—and More SFF Links: In these SFF links, I have terrifying sci-fi movies, cozy historical fantasy about a cat shelter, SFF authors' favorite tropes, and more!

4.75/5⭐ I was totally absorbed. More serious than the 1st book, the #cozy vibes do continue. I wish the ending was more filled out, but that is not so much a complaint as a desire to dig deeper into the lore of this portion of Aedrea #BookSky #Bookreview #cozyfantasy #fantasy #BookTok 💙📚🪐📚🎧📚⏰📚💬📚📸

Previous in vitro studies on azelastine had already suggested antiviral effects against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. ‘This clinical trial is the first to demonstrate a protective effect in a real-world setting.'

hey #indieauthor friends, looks like MailerLite has cut its free subscriber capacity in half and would eagerly like to charge me more per month than I usually make in sales JUST in time for my new book launch promo, because I catch all the service problems with my face (still glaring at Itch).
