Just got a free copy of Newman's Model Actress Whatever at Fantasycon, which is a bit of a score. Meanwhile about halfway through The Outcast Mage by Annabel Campbell, in advance of the sequel launching at Fantasycon. And about 100 pages into the new UK edition of Kathe Koja's Skin. #booksky 📚💙

I'm still listening to The Far Pavilions audio book - I'm down to the final two hours and it's over 48 so I've been listening for a long time. I've also just started Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber and I'm completely hooked - a world where folktales cross over into reality?! Wonderful!

Practical Magic Only discovered it's a book a few months ago

Hi. I'm rotating through these four: Volker Kutscher's Babylon Berlin, Peter May's The Lewis Man, Jacqueline Winspear's Pardonable Lies and Fred Anderson's Crucible of War. Next when one is done will be Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's Fury or Arturo Pérez-Reverte's El Sol de Breda (Alatriste 3)

The Black Riviera by Mark Jarman.

Rough week at work so I am ready a cozy little witchy book to settle my soul.

Finishing up my current read

Just starting The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim.

Finishing up THE COMPLETE SAKI, by, uh, Saki.

good afternoon! I'm about half way through House of Leaves. it feels like a very unsettling adventure. I've also picked The Edge of Space-Time by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein back up for some science goodness. both slow reads but for very different reasons!

East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Revisiting this book after watching the series recently.

New Stephen King / Peter Straub - was considering rereading 1st 2 but bus broke down on way home after picking it up so got started. New rather lovely looking spooky novella from @casskhaw.bsky.social and I drank the Malazan kool-aid a long time ago so will always pick up new books in that series

Happy Monday. Just started the third volume of Maya Angelou’s autobiography

I’m just over halfway through this brilliant one 📖 ‘Ever Land’ By @amyabdelnoor.bsky.social I recommend!! 🙌📕

Mark Billingham's The Shadow Step

‘Hedgehogs’ went down well at Fantasycon in Glasgow. Not only did it sell out, but people came to the table asking for the book with zombie hedgehogs!

New on my #dnd game design blog: Tomb of Annihilation Session 36 – Ritual of Transformation

Tomb of Annihilation Session 36 – Ritual of Transformation

Here’s the write up from our latest Tomb of Annihilation session, in which the characters defeated Ras Nsi and obtained the final puzzle cube. Next time: the Tomb of the Nine Gods! The players (well, one of them) threw me a curveball at the start of the session but I go to use my cool hydra mini for the first time 🙂

This week’s #MondayReads is The Gods of Atlantis by @professoremily.bsky.social. After enjoying so many snippets on here, I’m looking forward to reading the whole thing. Also, the bookstore owner *really* liked the cover. Brought it up both when I ordered and picked it up. #booksky 💙📚 #amreading
