And here is the #MayWrapUp Still not back to the regular amount of reading, but better than April 😉 Lots of light reading to get me back into the game! 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction #FinishedReading

Apparently I forgot to post my minimalist #AprilWrapUp Though at least one of these (Wandering Inn) is massive, but then one is novella length at best (Resurrectionist). Anyway, I enjoyed all of these!

When you start a book, and you know it'll be one of your favourites on the first few pages... Thank you @michaelrfletcher.bsky.social for the always fantastic entertainment and congratulations on making it to the #SPFBO finals!

Important if you're unpublishing books on D2D; you need to delete your account to avoid the fee.

And here we go! First 5 cuts for #SPFBO from Fantasy Faction!

First Mage on the Moon? Don't listen to us, listen to Charlie.

March was a few books month, but I did 44,7km of running, which is almost double to the last 12 months! Hope to get through more bills again in April! Also, first Spfbo post coming soon, so follow @fantasyfaction.bsky.social 😁

It's launched!! 🥳 The Titan Revenant is out now in ebook on the World's Longest River. Hope you enjoy the end of the series! #fantasy #fantasybooks #epicfantasy #fantasyreader #epicfantasybooks #ranger

I’m doing a bit of research for a potential article on reading habits of SFFH fans. So, if you read SFFH do you also read other genres and if so, which ones? All answers welcome and reposts appreciated for visibility. Thank you!

I've been a bit quiet here lately - why? I've finally got to the point where I can run again, and so I've been trying to eat well, do some strength and run again! As I've never done strength, I've also watched a lot of YouTube & such, so little reading, more moving! 4,6kg down 10kg to go. 🙂 ⬇️

I'm putting together a post of indie and self-published SFF by trans and non-binary authors if anyone would like to be added! (If I miss you for the post, I can also add you to my LGBTQIA+ collection!)

Guys. This bundle not only has a HUGE discount per book but there are so many awesome reads in here. 👀 (Including Forest of the Morning, of course, because it's part of #SPFBO this year! 😆) But seriously, check out the other contestants too. Support self-pub authors! 🖤 itch.io/b/3592/spfbo-2026

What's a line delivery you'll never forget?

The Sins of Steel and Shadow is an #SPFBO semifinalist 🙌🏻 Well chuffed, and hats off to anyone who entered this year’s contest. There are some incredible looking titles on that list and my TBR is getting longer every day! stevepannett.com/the-sins-of-...

Before: creature of legendary floof. Step 1: leg fluff sacrifice. Step 2: whole-dog defloofening. Result: one distinguished gentleman and approximately one spare dog on the floor. (It's just over 70g of floof off 😅) #GalliTheExplorer #CuteDog #PumiMix #LifeOfADog #Dog #RescueDog #dogs #DogSky

Today is World Book Day. Which is a roundabout way to tell you to buy my books. Here are a few of them.

I'd say it is safe to say, the fog really, really likes the taste of his "liver" toothpaste... #GalliTheExplorer #CuteDog #PumiMix #DogAdventures #LifeOfADog #Dog #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #dogs #DogSky

We are thrilled to announce our edition of First Mage on the Moon by Cameron Johnston in collaboration with Angry Robot 🌕

What do you mean February is already over? Alright, here's the Wrap Up then. Favourites this month are hard, I'd say a tie between Hammerfall and Twelve Months, but I had many amazing books.

HEY ALL YOU LOVELY SFF BOOK PEOPLE <3 Another review and this one is for my favorite in the #SPFBO contest so far in my batch. It's also the highest score I've ever given anything from my original pile of books for the contest #indie #selfpub #SFF #reviews weatherwaxreport.blog/2026/03/01/s...

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

POV: you REALLY want to join the donkeys. Full body tremble. Maximum excitement. Engines at 99%. But the butt remains planted. - 5 minutes later he overrides instinct on his own, looks at me and follows. Impulse drive, uhm, control unlocked! Best boy! #LifeOfADog #Dog #RescueDog #DogSky

#SPFBO is heating up. Several groups have been actively reviewing books, and now The Fantasy Hive as well as previously Fantasy Book Critic have already delivered their semi-finalists. No news yet on Phoenix Rises, Dragon Soars. So keep crossing your fingers for me, or read while we wait.

@cw-snyder.com @queensbookasylum.bsky.social @ghostwoods.bsky.social @krystlematar.bsky.social pls send me your most unhinged screeds/art/prose/whatever for this zine. It pays no money, and basically no exposure. Fuck yeah.

Without a doubt that's mango! I'm a very lucky eater overall, but I eat almost all fruit and veg. But mango is just awful! Only think where it's consumable is juice when it's passion fruit/Maracuja & mango

The scream I screamed when Palencar agreed…

Had a lot of snow on Thursday. Almost all gone now, but the boy had the time of his life, despite me having to de-snow his boots every 10 minutes 😅 He had the zoomies the whole 9k home from work followed by comatose sleep. #GalliTheExplorer #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #DogSky
