What are your plans for the weekend? I'm going to be reading The Temps by Andrew DeYoung. @fictionfanspod.bsky.social did an interview with the author years ago and I'm finally getting to it. 😆 Bonus though, my book club is along for the journey with me! #booksky💙📚🪐

Not going to @laworldcon.bsky.social even though it’s in my same state because I was laid off in March, and now it’s actually WorldCon time I’m finding myself particularly sad about missing it

Lilly @lillyscribe.bsky.social has promised me she will watch Winter Dragon for a podcast episode and I’m not letting her take this back 😂 #WheelOfTime #WoTonPrime

"A FORSAKEN PROPHECY is an excellent sequel full of all the angst and complicated emotions you could want from our poor tortured protagonists." Thanks to @sagapressbooks.bsky.social for the ARC! #booksky

Review: A Forsaken Prophecy by Stacey McEwan

realmsofmymind.wordpress.com

A review of the funny and brilliantly put together Perilous Times that asks us what we'd do if King Arthur came back and was, essentially Nigel Farage in a surcoat and mail. #booksky #reviews #fantasy #SFF

Review: Perilous Times

Thomas D Lee's Perilous Times asks what if the knights of the round table actually came back when the island was in peril and what if, because Merlin was loose with his bargaining, the definition of peril has a pretty low threshold? What if the people in power kinda knew they could rely on these ancient knights who could die and die again were on call?

The Dead Don't Lie, second book in the Blackstone Files, by Stephen Aryan, is a worthy sucessor to New York Minute, a well-plotted noir fantasy that gets the more from the setting and embracing the weirdness of it. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚
