What is everyone doing this weekend? I’m debating starting a new embroidery project. This was my last one! I love how the moth really pops with the dark blue background. #Embroidery #Hobby #Weekend #WeekendPlans

I love how magical this book is. Space cats, starlight magic, battling monsters, and college! What more can you ask for? [ Author Appreciation, Indie Author, Indie Book, Book Recommendation ]

Don’t get caught up in lust and hate! #WritingTips #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor #BookCommunity #RevPit

The majority of the graphic is a solid white color. On the left side of the graphic, there is half a staircase with flowers wrapped around it. The colors of the flowers were red, gold, and dark blue. The text reads, “While lust and hate are strong driving forces in a book, don’t overlook the power of other forms of love. Those complex relationships where you love your friend, don’t want to disappoint them, feel judged by them, feel supported by them, often take them for granted, lie to them, but ultimately you truly understand them and will always be there for them, those are powerful relationships that can drive so many different plots and stories.”

Here’s a fantastic testimonial from Maisie M. Meyers, author of A Little Less Invisible 🎉 #WritingCommunity #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor #BookCommunity #Testimonial #Bookish

It's Disability Pride Month! Being disabled myself it's incredibly important to allocate some of my spoons to talking about it. Characters in books can be disabled and still have full lives, romances, adventures, etc. And I love that we are seeing that more and more.

Books included: A Little Less Invisible by Maisie Meyers, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (allegory for CFS/interpreted as such), The Wolf and His King by Finn Longman, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Even if We Break by Marieke Nijkamp, One for All by Lillie Lainoff, Spear by Nicola Griffith, The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer, The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones

This week’s author appreciation post goes to Wren Jones! The amount of heart that goes into her books is just lovely. I could cuddle with her ghosts all day, especially when there is a talking cat to entertain me. #IndieBooks #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor
