I’m probably going to be linking to this a lot because it’s one of my favorite reviews I’ve ever gotten. (The @ writer_wells001 ID is not me.)

I am SO FUCKING EXCITED for this book

told you all the spinal column was a mistake

APRIL - 1805 NAPOLEON IS MASTER OF EUROPE ONLY THE BRITISH FLEET STANDS BEFORE HIM THERE IS NOTHING IN NAVAL LAW STATING THAT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER CANNOT SERVE HIS MAJESTY AS CAPTAIN OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

I am SO EXCITED for this book

What a fantastic piece, in which @readingtheend.bsky.social absolutely nails what's wrong with publisher-monetised fanfic. "Let’s not get into the habit of trawling the wriggling, unknowable sea floor that is fandom, only to feed its most palatable morsels into the hungry maw of capitalism."

This book is WEIRD and i love it

well now I do have to reread this to decide whether I agree

if you're concerned about the pervasive sexualization of women, & also the various ways in which other marginalized groups (POC, PWD, LGBTQ+) are sexualized (often overlooked in feminism), & dislike "sex-negative" framings of this issue, Sexed Up is for you! juliaserano.medium.com/sexed-up-a-c...

COVER REVEAL! UNBROKEN (Rath & Rune 4) now has a cover and is available for preorder! The book will release on October 17, 2025, in ebook and paperback, with audio coming next year. Preorder from me: jordanlhawk.com/products/unb... Preorder from a corporation: buy.bookfunnel.com/6pbn12izk1

Aww, a lesser goldfinch couple drinking from the bird bath. First date?

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

This book was SO GOOD (and also SO UPSETTING). When the preordered ebook showed up last night I was just going to take a quick look and I did read the whole thing, and I did cry.

New favorite microgenre: Appalachian folk/body horror about cults and reproductive autonomy

I’m not going to start *reading* this book, right now in the middle of the night as soon as the ebook I preordered was delivered. I’m just going to *look* at it…

Just wow 😵‍💫 #MolluscMonday

I am so delighted by all the KJ Charles love; she’s such a good writer, and also, my recent D&D character was shamelessly copied from one of her books

back on my bullshit (reading a historical novel about a doomed polar expedition)

spinning silver and uprooted are both fucking fantastic standalones. i cant speak to her series bc neither really appealed to me. but spinning silver is *excellent*

go get your cheap lesbians!

FYI this is my favorite sign I’ve ever seen

New favorite microgenre: historical romance that is secretly (or not-so-secretly) about the importance of labor unions

what about the Regency era in particular inspires so many romances? it doesnt seem like a particularly interesting time in English history? or is that precisely why

oh my the baby raccoons seem to like the kiddie pool--all three of them!

My problem with Dune is that Leto and Paul are like, the least interesting characters in the story and also the ones we’re supposed to care about and whose opinions we have to listen to the whole goddamn time.

Anyway HELLO AND THANK YOU I cannot help but notice that THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST is still reaching people more than a year after it was published! :D (I assume the... things... that live in the woods are involved. But thank you anyway!) If you haven't yet, pick up your copy today!

oyster aquaculture: good for the environment, good for the US senate

Dying at the book he's reading

"Gailey wrote this" is all I need to hear to convince me to read a book. Definitely worth your attention and your support.

I used to think jellyfish were overrated Then they kinda became one of my favourite groups of animals ❤️ Aurelia aurita, Moon jelly 🦑🐡 #art #painting #watercolour #jellyfish #moonjellyfish #sealife

Perfect timing for #InverteFest because my second thesis paper is out! TLDR; I counted two bajillion hydrozoans and about a dozen guys of every other species combined on four different types of substrate (rock, mesh, plastic, and wood) to see if larvae have preferences! peerj.com/articles/198...

Up for preorder wherever books are sold! (Reminder that if you buy the paperback you also get the ebook.) ecwpress.com/products/fir...

Been enjoying QUEEN OF TEETH by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social this weekend. It’s kind of like LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, but if Audrey II was growing inside Seymour’s vagina.

I wrote the blog post. Sorry. Snakes on a Carriage: in which I muse on getting away with implausibility in historical romance.

Two different people are currently reading Dune because of me. Does this make me an Influencer?

I read this book based on this recommendation and was delighted

This real 2011 PSA about how to search your child’s room is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

I asked iChatBio how many kinds of bees are in Florida and it says there are none. Couldn't have made this up if I tried

Oh man, this book coming out mere days before I board a trans-Pacific flight feels like proof the universe loves me. I have to sit in one place reading for 10+ hours? Good! Preordered ☑️
