Anybody else succumb to the book outlet $6 fiction sale today? On the plus side, it’s only 6 books to get free shipping. On the other hand, my TBR pile is staring at me. #booksky #bookoutlet #sciencefiction 💙📚🪐📚🩸

Its new release Tuesday for Willow Rose by M. Kevin Hayden! This eerie novel combines Native American folk horror with a scifi comet plot line. I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of this spooky gory tale set in the snowy woods of Minnesota. A unique story fans of scifi horror. #booksky 💙📚🪐📚🩸

Happy new release day to Psychopomp & Circumstance by @edenroyce.bsky.social ! This is an atmospheric southern gothic tale full of magic, ghosts, funerals, tea, secrets, & more. I had the pleasure of reading an ARC and my only complaint is I wish it had been longer! #booksky #fantasybooks 💙📚🩸📚🪐

🎵Must be the season of the witch🎵 #booksky #fantasy #witchery 💙📚💙📚🪐📚🩸

Indie bookstores have the best sidewalk signs. Currently reading: A Memory Called Empire by @byzantienne.bsky.social #booksky #indiebooks #schulersbooks #itsfallyall 💙📚🪐📚🩸📚🌈

It’s spooky reading season so I’m hype to be starting my first horror novel by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social I have heard nothing but good things about his eerie novellas. Gonna start myself off right with The Haar. #booksky #halloween #horror #horrorbooks 💙📚🩸📚🪐

Time for an Influence my TBR Thursday. I have been loving Robert Jackson Bennett’s Tainted Cup series. I bought this so I can start another series by him while. But I’m afraid to start it in case I don’t like it. 😭 Should I bump City of Stairs up my TBR list? #booksky #fantasy 💙📚🪐📚🐉

Picked up a couple of horror novellas as vacation souvenirs. I am ready for spooky season with: They Were Here Before Us by @ericlarocca.bsky.social and Wild Spaces by @slconey.bsky.social #booksky #horror #spookyseason 📚💙📚🩸

When you go to your indie bookstore to pick up one order & remember also to order Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social while there, that’s a good day I say. The description had me at 1960’s alien abduction, a lesbian in-book scifi writer, & an ‘Archivist’. #booksky #sciencefiction 📚💙📚🪐📚

It’s time for another “help me decide on my next reads” TBR Thursday. I have too many spooky books to fit into October. Should Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian hop up my list? I’m intrigued by what sounds like Kansas folk horror, witches, and stagecoaches. #booksky #horror #tbrthursday 💙📚🩸

The next indie book on my TBR is The Glass Garden by Jessica Lévai published by @lfpbooks.bsky.social An archaeologist makes a strange discovery on an exoplanet, a cavern containing a mysterious glass garden. 👀 I’m a sucker for books featuring alien worlds. #booksky #sciencefiction 💙📚🪐

As a huge fan of the Southern Reach (Annihilation) books by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social I’ve been meaning to start the Borne series for ages. Weird Lit is my jam and I’m immediately hooked on this wild plot after starting it yesterday. #booksky #weirdlit #fantasy #sciencefiction 💙📚🪐

Happy new release day to this incredible work of queer horror by @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social ! 5 stars of gut wrenching emotion when this hive of worms and insects takes the reins of the lives of those who have reached the bottom of their barrel. 📚🩸 #booksky #horror

I’m relatively new to reading horror books. What new releases are coming out this fall that should be on my radar for spooky season? I generally read fantasy and scifi, so I prefer more paranormal/fantasy horror vs slasher horror. 📖🕷️ #booksky #horror #horrorbooks 💙📚🩸📚🪐

It’s time for - Influence my TBR Thursday. I picked up Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez earlier this year. What are your thoughts on this one? With spooky season coming up I’m starting to think about October mood reads. #bluesky #fantasy #horrorbooks #tbrthursday 💙📚🩸🪐

Next up for my September mood read is The Dollmakers by @lynnbwrites.bsky.social A dark fantasy with demon slaying dolls seems like the perfect way to usher in autumn. Would you look at this cover art? 🤩 #booksky #fantasy #darkfantasy 💙📚🪐🐉⚔️🩸

A paladin who knits socks. Poisoning. Beheading. Mud & rain. Gnoles. A pet civet. Perfumes & headless bodies. Temple of the White Rat. Paladin’s Grace has the perfect vibes. 5 stars. I ran to order the whole series in the Orbit UK covers. #booksky #fantasybooks #romantasy 💙📚🐉🪐⚔️

I don’t know if ya’ll are ready. You Weren’t Meant to Be Human by @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social comes out 9/9. A trans man forced to carry a pregnancy by an alien insect hive, post the fall of roe v wade. Finished the ARC ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Check the content warnings first because 🫣. #booksky #horrorbooks 📚💙🩸

She gave me permission to back burner my book club book (Exordia 📚🪐) because my preorder of Hemlock & Silver came in and then she mumbled something about priorities prishmoraties. #bluesky #fantasy #sciencefiction #reading #cozysaturday 💙📚🐉

Time for - Influence my TBR Thursday. I’ve had Red Rising by Pierce Brown lower on the list for my TBR because I don’t typically go for YA. I heard enough good things to buy a copy at a library sale. Should I move this one up my list? #booksky #tbrthursday #fantasy #sciencefiction #tbr 💙📚🪐🐉🩸

New release Tuesday! I have Hemlock & Silver on the way from @bookshop.org and I can’t wait 🙌 T Kingfisher is an immediate add to cart for me. And I love that Bookshop,org sends proceeds to the indie bookstore of your choice. #booksky #fantasy #tbr #books 💙📚🪐🐉

(de)influence my TBR thursday! Im starting a series where I post a book from my physical “to read” shelf every Thurs to help me decide what to read next. Should I move this one up or down my list? Pictured: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo #booksky #tbrthursday #fantasy #horror #darkacademia 💙📚🪐🐉🩸

A wee stack of books from my trip this past weekend. Anyone else love books as their trip souvenirs? Usually I just get one. 😅 #booksky #books #indiebooks #reading #sciencefiction #fantasy #horror 💙📚🪐📚🩸

One of the later chapters in this scifi mystery thriller set in Mars had me crying. I found out the author died from cancer earlier this year and then the themes of grief and loss in the book broke my heart even further. Thank you @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social for this ARC. #booksky 💙📚🪐

You ever have a book make you cry and mess you up emotionally and then you go to read the reviews and everyone else is just like “what a great scifi thriller!” So then you have to question, what is wrong with ME? #booksky #sciencefiction #sobbingcryingthrowingup 💙📚🪐

Oops, I accidentally bought two books last night even though my TBR is already taller than I am. #booksky #horror #natcassidy #reader #books 💙📚🩸📚

Had to liberate @bonniequinn.bsky.social ‘s new cozy horror release from the bookstore before it got squished like a pancake. How to Survive Camping sounds exactly like the spooky campfire tale I need this weekend. #booksky #horror #books #bookstore #currentread 💙📚🩸📚🪐

When you are staying in a cabin in the woods and need a horror book to get you in the right mood… the answer is The Lonely Broadcast by @wendingus.bsky.social 🌲 It’s giving 90’s X-Files vibes in the best way. Monsters lurking. Old radio watchtower. #booksky #currentread #horrorbooks 💙📚🪐📚🩸

So many good reads in July. A Knave of Graves- morally grey gravekeeper The Lies of Ajungo- sandy fantasy fable Scuttler’s Cove- folk horror on the coast Machine Vendetta- wild scifi series Whispering Dead- spooky fall mystery Tracer- dystopian thriller, female vigilante #booksky 💙📚🪐📚🩸

I’m looking for recommendations for more books like T Kingfisher’s horror: - medium spooky but can be scarier if: - quirky sassy female lead - wooded area - small town vibes - bonus if rainy or foggy - helpful side kick(s) - mystery to unravel - like a 90’s x files episode #booksky #horror 💙📚🩸

“You are right, that is a pretty rad book cover” - my cat, probably. (on a BOOX eReader color eInk) #booksky #ereader #book #fantasybook #currentread 💙📚🪐

I am usually reading two books so I can pick and choose what I’m in the mood for, but both my book club book and my regular book are so densely written. I may have to start an easier third book to give my brain a break. 🫣 #booksky #sciencefiction #reader #books #booktok 💙📚🪐

Finally starting The Spear Cuts through Water by Simon Jimenez. Anyone else afraid to crack open their special edition books? 🫣 This one is from @inkstonebooks.bsky.social 💚 #booksky #inkstonebooks #fantasyreader #fantasybooks 💙📚🪐

Romance, mummies, and magical artifacts, oh my! I’m listening to the audiobook and thank you @jbensonink.bsky.social for dropping little reminders about Book 1 for those of us who have a brain that quickly forgets plot points between books in a series. 🫣 #booksky #romancebooks 💙📚🪐📚💓

The danger of reading more than one book at a time is when they both turn out to be fantastic and you have to choose which one to finish first 😭 #booksky #reader #bookworm #mystery #horror 💙📚🩸

I definitely took advantage of the @bookshop.org free shipping this week to preorder Spread Me by @sarahgailey.bsky.social which had me at alien scifi research outpost. and that title 👀 #booksky #books #bookworm 💙📚🪐📚🩸

Dearest authors, shorter chapters please. I read a book recently where the chapters were about 8 pages long and it was glorious. The book flies by when it’s easy to go “well, just one more chapter”. #booksky #booktok #reader #wip 💙📚🪐📚🩸

Check out this great list of new releases in science fiction, fantasy, and horror for 2025. I immediately found new books to add to my TBR. 👀 #booksky #fantasy #horror #sciencefiction 💙📚🪐📚🩸

I don’t know, I think I would actually read a book this size. Just the once, for the thrill of lesbian vampires in 72 pt font. #booksky #fantasybooks 💙📚🪐📚🩸 Pictured: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab but it’s sized for a 40 foot tall behemoth.

If you know you know. #booksky 💙📚🪐

Lots of scifi in my June reads. 🪐📚 I’m feeling very #Summerween at the moment so if you have recommendations for some spooky summer books for July, I’m all ears. Three of these I started in May and finished in June, I’m not this fast of a reader I swear. #booksky #bookreview #sciencefiction 💙📚🩸

Just started The Knave of Graves today and I was immediately under the spell of this graveyard digger who sells corpses to the night hag. #booksky #darkfantasy #gothicfantasy 💙📚 🪐📚 #netgalley #arcreader

How could I resist But Not Too Bold by @hachepueyo.bsky.social with this book store review: - weird girl fiction - fever dream - spiders - sapphic horror #booksky #bookstore #weirdfiction 💙📚🪐📚🩸

Why call it Chapter 1 when you can call it: BLOOD MAKES NOISE Blindsight by Peter Watts. I am sat. #booksky #horrorbooks #sciencefictionbooks 🪐📚💙📚🩸

My next book club read is an oldie but I’m hoping a goodie. Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke was first published in 1973. I’m always down for a first contact novel. #booksky #sciencefiction #scifibooks 💙📚🪐

Absolutely RAN !! to pre order this from @bookshop.org / my local bookstore. a new T Kingfisher spooky book coming out in the fall? Happy holidays to me! Nov 11 release from @tkingfisher.com #booksky 💙📚🩸📚🪐

Saturday morning reading time. A cup of coffee and a rebel aerialist on Mars, what more could you ask for. I’m about 1/3 in and loving the mystery and suspense in this one. Many thanks to Flame Tree Press & NetGalley for this advanced copy by Nadia Afifi. 📚🪐 #booksky #netgalley 💙📚

Discussing this one in book club is going to be a journey. Thank you, @scumbelievable.bsky.social #booksky #hororrbooks 💙📚🩸📚🪐

New release Tuesday! This book had me in its grips with its space pirates and alien navigation. All while being a beautiful space opera. It had me running to read more by Megan O’Keefe after. Thank you to @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the advance copy ☺️ #booksky 💙📚🪐

@makana-yama.bsky.social we are reading Hammajang Luck right now in my scifi fantasy book club 👀 #booksky 🪐📚💙
