Day 69 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Covers with Cassidy) A medieval fae-world knight transported to the 19th century mortal realm MM romance caught my attention, and an opening with a girl locked in an asylum with her living shadow, Dread, absolutely blew me away! #booksky

Karen is still so sweet for this glowing review of The Long Nights (psychic urban fantasy noir genre blending)

Really happy to read this latest review for The Long Nights. Thanks Mathieu! Glad you had fun with the book (sorry there’s still only one book). Linking the rest of the review/critique below (because spoilers)

Pass it on!! It's pfp day where you post your pfp! Juliorra with tentacles — my best avatar choice in my totally unbiased opinion (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)✨ #digitalart #drawing #illustration #украрт #arttrain

Day 68 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Captured In Words) 📚💙 Rejoice! An author returned my inquiry with a copy of her Dinosaur opening, and I wanted to read more of it. Another terrific fantasy opening of a failed assassin caught my eye. (This concludes the Captured In Words group!)

Day 67 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Captured In Words) I wanted to see more of 2 books: a lovecraft university story & an about two forlorn soldiers forced to march on an elven wood, reminding me more than a little of The Lord of the Rings, but in a very different light. @areaernovels.bsky.social

I read and enjoyed Oliver’s zombie book “Burial.” Excited to see he has a new book out in a new genre. Check it out!

Day 66 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Captured In Words) Four or five openings today, but only one of which I felt compelled to read more of and recommend to your attention: a fun UF of a young woman who can see faeries but just wants to be a journalist and afford a living!

With #SPFBOXI underway, I'm still working through all 300 openings of #SPFBOX - behind for life reasons, but still enjoying the openings. I plan to try to get caught up to the current blog-off in the next two months, because I really enjoy being a part of it! Follow along! subscribepage.io/wuOG1f

Almost done with basically almost the last draft of this dragon and airships book. Wish me luck. 🍀

Day 65 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Captured In Words) I wanted to read more form the SPFBOX champion and a quaint fieldmouse story. A third opening from a romantic fantasy didn’t quite do enough to hook me.

Merry solstice!
