Absolutely loved The Republic of Memory by @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social . Compelling characters in a sci-fi setting, gripping plot, and a whole lot to ponder about language, culture, and revolution. I read the audio version, and the narrators didn't disappoint. Can't wait for the sequel! #booksky

There’s nights in the deep end of summer so hot and thick and wet you can feel the dark wrinkling up your fingers like bathwater—and my last night breathing was one of those. 2 a.m. came to ring my be...

'Moss most immediately brings to mind the delicate, psychedelic folk of Vashti Bunyan or, more recently, Josephine Foster. Her voice shares a similar affinity, a slight warbling that trips along her subdued compositions.' Elanor Moss - The Knife, the Needle buff.ly/dgZh015

Got through the horrors of physical therapy today by telling myself that if Garrodigh could do it, so can I. Highly recommend The Dragon Has Some Complaints by @wiswell.bsky.social even if you aren't going through the horrors yourself.

I loved this book so much! It was a fucking delight for this perverted biology lover to read. You should read it, too.
Wild that SPREAD ME is almost out in paperback already. Wild that I got it published in the first place!! I still can't quite believe it. And y'all have been sprinting with it ever since. If you loved it / hated it / can't believe it's real, please preorder the paperback & tell your friends.
boy you really don’t notice how often you default to phrases like “what the hell” or “good Lord” in any time period or situation until you are writing a book where absolutely nobody would say them
While we’re getting ready to read YOUR amazing writing, let's get this KICKSTARTER funded! Remember, The Space Unicorn Believes in YOU!!!!!

You know what? People who don’t like kissing don’t have to watch romances. Sober realists aren’t forced to sit through SFF. Grouches can eschew comedy and squeamish people are welcome not to watch horror films. Just let things exist for their target audience.
Horror’s Hollywood takeover is an exciting moment – but won’t someone think of the squeamish?
What a smutty delight! I've loved following along with enthusiastic young camp counselor Eddie and silver fox camp owner Steve as it posts, and was so excited to find it in its finished form in the mailbox today! Well done, @inflomora.bsky.social!
This book was a goddamn delight, so weird, so enchanting, so gross, all the things I love. Amazing twist that was well executed. Great narration by Max Meyers for the audiobook, too.
