A Turn of the Wheel deals with - 🍏 the panic that comes with realizing the life you & others planned for yourself isn't the one you want 🍏 being afraid to go after the things you want (& of yourself for wanting them) because you might get rejected 👉🏻 shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

This is a brand new, monthly meme that encourages a bit of bookish conversation, something I've been meaning to try and do more. This month's topic was a great one to start on. Created by @24hryabookblog.bsky.social 💙📚🪐📚🩸📚⚡

This is Granny (Esme) Weatherwax. I chose this character for my internet handle a long time ago because I found comfort in a character who was cranky as fuck, but was a force for good. It resonates harder each year. I am more of a curmudgeon than ever...while also trying to fix what I can.

The most exquisite commission ever, my OC Rêverie by @2ghosts.bsky.social #dnd #art

I remember when October had great art prompt, and November had a great writing prompt to motivate creators. A bloody shame the folks behind those hashtags ended up being such knobs. Also, you can draw & write whenever you want without a prompt telling you to do so. So, create. And keep creating.

Look just because the major was found dead with two puncture holes in his neck does NOT mean the vampires have anything to do with it. We're delighted to share an excerpt from Dead & Breakfast by @kathillisauthor.bsky.social and @rosieethor.bsky.social! reactormag.com/excerpts-dea...

Fancy joining us for some vampires this month? 💙📚🤎📚🩸

💙📚🌶 From spicy to cute, I'm trying out seven contemporary romances to keep or unhaul. youtu.be/sm9Vfno8rdo?...

APPARENTLY, SIR CAMERON NEEDS TO DIE by @greerstothers.bsky.social is one of the Most Requested Books on @netgalley.bsky.social! In this comedic gay fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight when a prophecy ties them together. www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

A new Birthstone Book Covers is live at my blog. I cheated a little bit this time🙈. I couldn't find books with October's birthstone so instead I am sharing spooky books with November's birthstone.👻 #BookSky📚💙 #BookBloggers #Blogging #Books twirlingbookprincess.com/2025/10/birt...

Pretty nice milestone for heading into spooky season! 🥳 💙📚🩸 #BookSky #BookTube

Book Review: Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World by Mark Waddell Title: Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World Author: Mark Waddell Publisher: Ace Publication date: October 7, 2025 Genre: Urban Fantasy, LGBTQ Ignoring, for the moment, that Colin works for an actually Hell-like corporation…

Halloween month is a great time to get into all of these intersectional horror podcasts. Just saying!

This regular column by io9 has put more great books in front of me than I care to name. And the comments section is usually five angry white guys yelling about how it's all sequels or romantasy and it never, ever is. 116 new books. Go take a look. gizmodo.com/116-new-sci-...

Almost lost my mind but i finally finished my fabric study 😪

Something different: my first video booktag! A few hiccups (as expected 😂) and a couple of series that were particularly helpful. 💙📚🪐 youtu.be/QmNLt8uHhH0?...

It's October, which means it's only 30 more days until #ScifiMonth! Yes, our annual love-in of all things SFnal will be back - we're disorganised and may forget to pack our socks, but we're excited to blast off on November 1. Will you join us?

So, other than a surprise guest in December and a livestream with @pauljessup.com in mid January (Romance Recs from Romance Writers), this is the schedule through January (you know, unless it changes :D ) So many livestreams.

Well, my plan to do a rec for every single day of #SapphicSeptember didn't survive contact with a new job and a horrible cold, but there's still plenty of recs in this thread!

please donate or share! anything helps 🙏🏻

I've been watching the time-travel comedy Bon Appetite, Your Majesty on Netflix. A modern chef has been transported back in time and must satisfy the culinary palette of a tyrant king--while turning him into a better man, of course. Every time someone eats, they're transported hilariously. K-drama

The chilling effects of parents "opting out" of LGBT content in K-12 will reach far outside the classroom. If schools are required to send notice every time a book or lesson includes LGBT people or characters, schools will simply forbid that content. Publishers will follow suit with their output 📚

Same, a classic.

Just started this series this month and really excited to continue!

Access:Horror! Disability Horror! I have to watch this on Shudder! I wrote about this kind of thing in Cancer Eats the Heart... pauljessup.com/books/cancer...

The book tour has commenced. For I have promises to keep, and miles to go...

ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA x A TREACHERY OF SWANS Princess Elena will one day rule the kingdom, thanks to her prowess as a knight. But when she and her sisters are cursed to attend a magical Fae ball, she finds herself torn between serving her country and falling for the Fae queen. #preDV #A #F #LGBT

As a complete Stephen King beginner, I'm thinking about maybe trying a book a month (or -ish, I know some are bricks) in 2026. Which would you most recommend for a newbie? So far, tentatively thinking at least CHRISTINE, SHAWSHANK and NEEDFUL THINGS look interesting? 💙📚🩸📚💬📚❓
