it’s been a rough week. Hell, June was a rough month too. But I just scored a bunch of dvds for less than $30 so I’m a winner

got a copy of one of my most anticipated releases of the year, Queen Demon by @marthawells.com !!! #booksky

I knew we were going to run into issues with people discussing gender when it comes to the casting of Murderbot, and here I am explaining to supposed allies that just because we as the audience know the actor is a cis man doesn’t mean Murderbot the fictional character is presenting as a man.

read my first Grady Hendrix yesterday and had a blast! #booksky

Had a dream that there was Aloy art on the wall…I am about to move to a new apartment…should I???

I don’t get the hype behind Claire Keegan ngl. Maybe I need to read another of her books

guys, i've just finished Queen Demon by @marthawells.com and my fucking god, this woman is a BRILLIANT storyteller. i adored every single chapter and the way we really got to know the characters a bit more. it's out in october, if you liked witch king, you should get this one! #booksky

Nothing like realizing your chapters are nowhere near long enough 😂😂😂

tor blessed me with an e-ARC of Queen Demon by @marthawells.com and y’all—my excitement can’t be contained.

Guys I’ve just read Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and 😭😭😭

I feel like I’m missing something about this Emily Austin book

This article has some great stills, but the text is very spoilery, just so you know. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st... #murderbot

This is How You Lose the Time War by @maxgladstone.bsky.social and @amalelmohtar.com —♾️⭐️ Absolutely no one is writing romance like this and I mean NO ONE. Breathtakingly beautiful, stunning prose. It made me tear up! Ugh, what a wonderful book. You should read it. #booksky #bookreview

Witch King by @marthawells.com —4.75⭐️ Shaving a quarter of a star off because the beginning felt long. But boy once it picked up…I loved the characters, especially my boy Kai. I loved the ending and the flashbacks most especially. I recommend if you like second world high fantasy! #booksky

The River Has Roots by @amalelmohtar.com —5⭐️ This was GORGEOUSLY written. It made me immediately grab my wife’s copy of This is How You Lose the Time War. The story was beautiful and made me tear up!! So emotional and grammar as a magic system?? Hell yeah! #booksky #bookreview

getting excited for c2e2 next month bc some awesome authors are gonna be there…plus I’m meeting the hobbits!!!

The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica—5⭐️ This was insanely beautiful and haunting. Just as twisted as Tender is the Flesh, just as violent. But also tender (lol) with the relationship between our narrator and a stranger who arrives at the convent. Highly recommend! #booksky #bookreview

Literally begging authors to stop going to Naperville. It’s a 2+ hour public transit commute to get there from Chicago. Please. I don’t have a car.

Not me frantically refreshing the @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social app as if they’ll sell out super fast hahahaha

My top read for February was def Bury Our Bones, followed by Cello’s Gate, The Reformatory, The Nickel Boys, and There’s Always This Year. #booksky

Long week.

life has been life-ing lately, but honestly things are looking up! i got accepted to a writing intensive to help kick my ass in gear so i can finish my novel!

A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett—4.5⭐️ Just as fun as the first one, albeit a bit long. But I don’t think anything should be cut! If you enjoy fantasy detective mysteries, you’ll enjoy this! #booksky #bookreview

Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino—5⭐️ Beautifully written and I loved Adina so much. Her observations on humans were both funny and kind of heartbreaking. Well worth the read! #booksky #bookreview

some soundtracks just feel like coming home. what soundtracks do that for you?

Audition by Ryu Murakami—4.75⭐️ What did I just read. No really. But also…why was it so good once you got past his misogynistic friend??? Such a creepy story. Not for the faint hearted! #booksky #bookreview

They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib—5⭐️ Ingenious to use music as a framework for the essays! Heartbreaking and a good look at grief. Cannot recommend enough! #booksky #bookreview

Man, @jasonragosta.bsky.social’s Jade on his The Angel of Indian Lake poster is SO, so perfect. I see her every day

There’s Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib—♾️ stars I’m giving this my highest rating, which is infinity stars. Sometimes books come to you at the exact right time, and I find this especially true with essay books. What Abdurraqib achieves here is nothing short of beautiful. #booksky #nonfiction

Please help us keep our phones and internet on. A few groceries would be nice too. Thank you! gofund.me/efd59cb5

really enjoying this!! ngl, I needed this read
