Hallo, Hallo dear hearts! You might be curious - what became of Jorie this May!? I've been creating content for #bookstagram whilst writing content for my #bookblog at a slower pace. Here's my #bookstack of #currentreads for #WyrdAndWonder! Find out more via wp.me/p4Y8Bq-9wi

I’m so happy hear this! Made my whole day 💪🎉

Yes, my understanding is that Hachette is the only big 5 who has publicly said a firm no to AI-written manuscripts. Wonder why the others haven’t? 🤔

Hallo, Hallo dear hearts, I have been in such a readerly rut lately - too much on my heart/mind to properly focus on STORIES. Sad yet true 😔I knew I needed to pull myself out of this FUNK and guess what? The Half-Life Empire by @gameoverstation.bsky.social is just the kind of STORY I need right now

I am so wicked happy to have found I.M. Foster's series (ie. The South Shores #Mysteries) as they're #CosyCrime #HistoricalMysteries - full of intrigue & drama - the kind which keep you up at night! I *devoured!* the first book already! 📚💙 wp.me/p4Y8Bq-9pz #booksky #bookblogger

👋Hallo, Hallo -- This New Year is sailing past me it feels like, however, I've had two lovely #bookhauls, wicked good #bookpost and #amreading such exciting stories of late, I am happily bookish & content! 😁Just finished a fab first novel of a #CosyHistoricalMystery, too! Eek. Review on Friday👍

Libraries are essential. Support your local library, speak up for your local library, love your local library 💙📚 We can never express enough support for libraries!

For new & hot #wuxia movie, watch out for #LegendoftheCondorHeroes, which is coming to US cinemas on FEB. 21. It's the newest adaptation from a classic novel by #JinYong. For novels with #wuxiaxianxia tropes and vibes, try the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology ( #TheHeavenlySword + #TheEarthlyBlaze ).

Hehe, your positivity is contagious! 😍💞

Both #TheHeavenlySword and #TheEarthlyBlaze are 2024 #IndieInkAwards finalists! I feel honored but at the same time a bit embarrassed, because there were only a total of 11 nominees in this category and their rule is to pick 10 finalists! It just shows how neglected the category is 😗

I've been spending my leisure Sunday enjoying listening to music via #Spotify and sorting out thoughts on my bookish journey over the past twelvemonths as I blog my Year End Survey inspired by @brokeandbookish.bsky.social It is a tradition I've not maintained and one that I have missed! 💜🦝

Thank you so much! And, a very Happy Christmas and a very blessed New Year's to you and your family, too!😉🎄

Happy Christmas, #booksky💙📚 I'm #amreading #ChristmasReads this Christmas week which include: a lovely prequel novella to a beloved saga penned by Julie Lessman; a #LoveInspired #SweetRomance by Danielle Thorne and a novel about finding the Christmas spirit after devasting loss by Andrew J. Mair.

My #CloakAndDaggerChristmas is going wickedly as I *devoured!* Prison Break Hostage. 💙📚 "This is the kind of psychological suspense narrative I love to read or watch in a film. The story was on an adrenaline piercing coaster of emotions as soon as it began!" My #bookreview via wp.me/p4Y8Bq-9lA

👋Hallo, #booksky! I'm #currentlyreading the Honor Bound series by @annajwriter.bsky.social for #cloakanddaggerchristmas - as announced via #bookstagram Unsure if anyone is currently hosting this lovely readathon but I decided to do it myself this year; Mysteries, Suspense & Thrillers for me! Oh my

@sairdysue.bsky.social Oh wow! You're in the short story anthos by Rhonda Parrish I haven't had a chance to get copies of yet! (ie. Grim, Dark & Gasoline; Clockwork, Curses & Coal and Sylphs, Spirits & Swan Maidens) as well as one of the WWP's anthos: Solarpunk Winters!👍Thanks for the follow!!

Hallo, Hallo dear hearts, 🚀 A proper update about #SciFiMonth 🍞 An unexpected dream being realised 🏥 The health crises of my Mum 📖 The stories I've read &/or are reading This is #TheSundayPost via #JLASblog this week: wp.me/p4Y8Bq-9l1

Thank you, Jorie! Fiona is wonderful. Merry Christmas to you!🎄🤶🏼👑☃️📚🇬🇧

Random thought: Did you ever notice the "Year in Review of Music" via #Spotify not only *understands!* your musical mind and top favourite songs but it is like the playlist you get after Spotify does your wrap-up for the year, it is the MUSIC your soul needs right now? Or is it just me!? 🎧🎼

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

@itapixie.bsky.social Thanks for following my bookish adventures on #booksky! I started to be active on here over Summer and have enjoyed gearing up for a more engaged New Year as this year starts to come to a close. I hope you've been enjoying the links I've been sharing which route to my #bookblog

Being on BlueSky feels like Kingdom Hearts. My friends and mutuals have been scattered across the Internet cosmos after a great disruption and I have to find them.

@hardcoverhaven.bsky.social Sorry I missed you were following me for so many months now, Lila! I have only just started to grow my presence on #booksky since this Summer and even then, had some slow starts getting my feeds to grow a bit with content and convos! I look forward to visiting your blog

@queensbookasylum.com So happy to find you on here! I've been trying to follow everyone I used to follow somewhere else as I'm trying to be more active again socially after a few difficult years wherein I wasn't able to be very engaged at all; I revived my blog over the Summer, too😆

@donnacarrick.bsky.social @donnacarrick.bsky.social Appreciate the follow! I'm still gathering my bearings on #booksky - looking for authors, #bookbloggers and readers - I'll be focusing on Thrillers & Suspense this December on my #bookblog - after I finish my final four #SciFiMonth reads!

@rjsullivanauthr.bsky.social During #SciFiMonth this year, I was talking about my love of Commanding the Red Lotus - on a special SFMonth Top Ten Tuesday; it left me curious - are there more stories on the horizon featuring the Red Loctus? Or, any other SF stories brewing?🤔

After a very long hard week, I am tucking into my #SciFiMonth reads right now - as I have a lovely 4 days off (not all together but its still 4 days off!) this week - I've been itching to dive back into Heaven's Edge by Jennifer Silverwood; my heart is with Qeya and can't wait to find out the ending

If you're looking for an escapist read, my new novel co-written with @hazelgaynor.bsky.social, releases next Tuesday. Escape into 1950s UK with young Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, an aspiring reporter for the BBC and a royal chef as they spend Christmas at Sandringham. #ChristmaswiththeQueen

Celebrating my first 1k followers on 🦋 by giving away a hardback copy of my fave book of 2024, #Costanza by Rachel Blackmore! 🍊💛 All you have to do is follow & repost. Happy to ship internationally, so tell your friends. Will pick a winner next Friday. #BookSky 📚

It’s a #ScifiMonth2024 exclusive with our very own @deargeekplace.bsky.social - feast your eyes on the new Lady Astronaut!

Been lurking for a while. California girl. Romance author. Fan of everything from #SPN to #Disney to #GBBO to #StarWars & #StarTrek (DS9 is my fave but SNW is gaining). Rabidly democrat and trying to cope. Happy to follow back.

@jaeauthor.bsky.social Thank you for following me! Since I've left another social arena, I've been slowly trying to find authors and readers alike to follow and engage with on #booksky - so thank you for finding me!😀 I'll have to have a look at your site & see which stories I can seek out to read👍

@henrigyland.bsky.social 👋SO happy to find you following me!! I was hoping I could reconnect with you socially - as much as I look forward to seeking out your stories to read as its been half an age since I've had the pleasure of reading your stories! Top cheers, Ms Gyland!😆

@scifimonth.bsky.social #SciFiMonth has begun! And, I'm featuring a (2022) rewind #TopTenTuesday post which I never had the chance to release! Wherein I talk about the stories which are getting my attention right now and most of them are #currentreads this (2024)! #bookblogger wp.me/p4Y8Bq-8Vj

I had the honour of hosting @elizabethstjohn.bsky.social on my #bookblog - wherein, we discussed her latest #newbook "The King's Intelligencer" which continues after "The Godmother's Secret. #booksky💙📚 wp.me/p4Y8Bq-9hX #HistFic | #authorinterview @cathiedunn.bsky.social

Thank you so much for hosting MK McClintock with her wonderful book, A Home for Christmas! 🥰📚

Whilst happily consuming #SpookyReads as a chase up to Halloween, its a delight of JOY to be able to reshowcase a beloved #ChristmasReads of mine from (2014!) Visit with me and see why I loved this #HistoricalRomance collection: wp.me/p4Y8Bq-9ho @cathiedunn.bsky.social | #bookblogger | #booksky💙📚

A #SpooktasticReads #mustlisten list - I'm doubling down on #amlistening to #audiobooks for our lovely readathon! Loads of WitchyReads and other Cosy Fantasy stories will be enjoyed as I chase after Halloween! What do you love to read or listen to this time of year? Are you a seasonal reader?👻🧙‍♀️

@anicarissi.bsky.social Thanks for following me! I visited your website and found "Wishing Season". Happily I saw it is on #audiobook and available on both Audible and Everand. I love reading MG & YA novels, which is why I've added this to my must listen list. The narrator has a lovely voice too👍

On the eve of #SpooktasticReads👻 I'm happily enthralled with where I am inside @tkingfisher.com's A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking - 📖🎧this #audiobook is narrated by Patricia Santomasso who wickedly illuminates the words by Kingfisher. Her words and turns of phrase are simply wicked brilliant! 👏

Out now in paperback is this charming fantasy story of an island, family secrets and potentially magical cat - A Midwinter’s Tail by Lili Hayward www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2023/11...

We're counting down to October 19 when we being our 13 days and nights of #SpooktasticReads2024, venturing into the darker corners of fantasy. The prompt challenge is back for those who fancy sharing pics, recs or posts to our daily themes:

I've been happily sampling #audiobooks and writing up posts for #SpooktasticReads which begins *this!* Saturday! Be sure to watch for our posts via @wyrdandwonder.bsky.social and on our #bookstagram feeds as well!😉I'm going to be diving into #audioreads this year and finding wicked new narrators!!

@author-effiejayne.bsky.social Thanks for following me!😉I'm fairly new to #booksky & looking forward to interacting with everyone; you'll find a few links shared in my TL - there will be more interaction as the month progresses. I'm just getting started tbh! What kind of stories are you #amwriting?

I'm #currentlyreading a wicked good Contemporary #Thriller by DJ Williams ("The Auctioneer") wherein I am loving the edge of your seat pace and the introspective nature of his lead character who's striving to sort out the chaos left in the wake of his father's death. #bookbloggers #amreading

I can confirm that this is true 🥰

@debbieohi.com I saw your list for #KidsLit on here and it mentioned to contact you directly if we're a #bookblogger who blogs and reviews #MGLit and #YALit?! I read and blog about both of these quite regularly - in fact, my last two reviews featured them! (see my feeds for links) How do I join?
