5am alarm because @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social releases at 8am EST, and I have to make sure I get the books I want before they sell out. I wish they released at a better time for people on the West Coast, but I get it. 🤷🏻 📖 Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle 📖 Local Heavens by K.M. Fajardo 🌈📚💙 #books

I rarely ever take the dust jackets off of books (even though their books feel so silky) but omg I HAVE to with this September pick from @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social Truly outdone themselves 😍

A book this chaotic? For us, that’s a high probability event. Hit the jackpot on Sept 1st, 2025 with our two-tone foiled special edition 🍀

doing the AMA thing on Reddit Wednesday, 1pm mountain. come one, come all. I really like these, because it always feel like a typing race, one where there's zero time to think, meaning, then, no time to lie, so they can turn into that Jon Hamm game show sketch (linked in reply). but hopefully not.

Who let the dogs out? This spoiler is for the Greyhound Girlies 😉 Coming Aug 1st, 2025. #aardvarkbookclub #augustspoiler #nothingisbyaccident #hintwithinaspoiler

Ahh my most recent @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social box!!! I'm so excited, I've been reading The Starving Saints on my lunch breaks and I love RBJ so special editions?! Done #booksky 💙📚🩸 #horrorauthor #horrrorfangirl #anomalyreviews

Book 26 of 2025 The Devils by Joe Abercrombie I had so much fun with this, what a crazy, chaotic ride!! I would also highly recommed the audio book where Steven Pacey wonderfully brings this madcap collection of unique characers to life. #booksky 💙📚

Books with larger-than-normal font sizes give me the illusion of being a very fast reader I started The Memory Collectors (shoutout @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social) this morning before work (continuing to read during lunch break) and I’m already 120+ pages in.

The Starving Saints is now out in the world! I wrote the first draft of this book five years ago, and have been obsessively searching for a home for it ever since. It’s meaty and squelchy and lustful and terrifying, full of alchemy and and weird magic and flesh. I’m so excited to share it with you.

Dinner Party Guest List: characters with insatiable appetites. @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social May challenge is to create a dinner party guest list with main characters from books. I did four Aardvaek books + a fancast of how I pictured the characters (let me know if you agree or disagree!)

@aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social Riley

@aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social Benny Caldera from When the Tides Held the Moon, Nina Rice from For Her Consideration, David Aristarkhov from Evocation, and Julie Chan from Julie Chan is Dead would attend my dinner party.

Ok however the Warriors game goes tonight, I’m so glad I finished Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng. A total 5 star read for me, and the highlight of the past ~24 hours. @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social ilysm. Thank you for the gift of amazing book selections every month 🫶
