I never used to be able to read fantasy/sci-fi/horror. Being brought into a writers group full of those genre of writers opened my mind. Now I read all. Not a lot. But I’m no longer afraid. #OcTBRchat

It’s that time of year, #bookish friends! Create a stack, share it with the group, let’s get cozy and read!! 📚

😂😂🥰💩

Cannot wait to read @noellesalazar.bsky.social's upcoming #romcom. Love her historical fiction, and from early reviews I know this will be a winner. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

What this lovely human said… 🥰 Help a girl out? Launch day on Election Day… oy vey!

Last question of this year's #OcTBRChat! Question 4: What book would you be most excited to find under your tree this coming Christmas? #OcTBRChat

*rubs hands together* Ooooh!!! Whatcha got, friends?? #OcTBRChat

Question 2: Christmas books are classically linked (with good reason) to romance/rom-coms or Dickensian stories. What are some great Christmas or winter-set books in other genres? Or, alternatively, what genre would you LOVE to get more Christmas/winter-set books? #OcTBRChat

I NEED ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS!!! 🎅🏼 🎄 ❄️

Last question of the evening. We've got romance, romantic comedies, and romantasy (and probably many more we've forgotten to list here). Give us your pitch for the next big and possibly surprising romantic genre mashup! #OcTBRChat

Question 3... and we'll give you the PG-13 phrasing. Give us your 'kiss', 'marry', 'kill' for the characters in your current (or at least a recent) read. #OcTBRChat

I pick the men I always write. Strong moral compass, kindhearted, adventurous, non-judgmental, supportive men. Following @danhanks.bsky.social lead, I’ll choose James Hart from The Flight Girls. BUT also Mr. Darcy. Once he’s been told off and knows the errors of his ways.

In the mood for a little romance? For tonight's #OcTBRChat we'll be talking in low, soothing whispers about all things love in fiction! Well, maybe not *all* things. We only have four questions. But they will be good ones, we promise. 8pm (UK) tonight. It's a date...? ❤️

Because hope. #OcTBRChat

Okay, last one for the night, then we might actually compile a list of the recommended books and tag their authors so you can all add them to your TBRs! Question 4: If you could magically revise a book written for adults to make it a children's book, what would it be - and why? #OcTBRChat

Okay, here's a question that's bound to get those fingers a-typing... Question 3: What's one children's book that HASN'T been adapted for the screen - or has, but it was terrible 👀 - that you think deserves the chance for a proper film or TV adaptation to resonate with all ages? #OcTBRChat

EVERYTHING. I think we should all read widely, diversely, cross-genre, cross-ages. There is so much truth about the world in children's books, especially the ones I read growing up. We need truth more than ever, so that's a great reason for adults to read them. #OcTBRChat

Question 2: What do you think can be gained by adults reading books that might be labelled as being 'for children'? #OcTBRChat

Soooooooo.... Question one: What's one book that's labelled as being for children, that you'd recommend to another adult. #OcTBRChat

After this week's #OcTBRChat, we've compiled a list of all the kid lit books that were recommended. Enjoy! Finding the Fox by Ali Sparkes The End by Mats Strandberg Skellig by David Almond The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd

Question 3: If you could use magic to conjure any book into being (that doesn't currently exist) and add it to your TBR pile, what would it be? #OcTBRChat

Question 2: What book out there in the world do you most want to add to your current TBR pile? #OcTBRChat

It's the first #OcTBRChat of this year's event!!!! Funnily enough, tonight we're going to be talking about your TBRs. So. Question 1: What's the book on your TBR you're most excited to read - and why?

For me it’s finishing this gem of a book by @noellesalazar.bsky.social - I was honoured to get to read a lot of the early drafts but I know there were exciting changes to what ended up in the final book and the romance is spectacular… and I can’t wait to see it all unfold!!! #OcTBRChat

Okay, here’s the @octbrchallenge.bsky.social TBR pile I’m attempting, which’ll still prove too much this month but you have to aim high, right? First up, while I read a lot of the early drafts, I need to finish the book version of @noellesalazar.bsky.social’s BRILLIANT Roaring Days of Zora Lily! ❤️
