Hello fellow #newengland #naturelovers, #treelovers, #bostonists, and #dendrologists. Can you help me identify the oak tree growing on the back of my property? I think I’ve identified it, but I’m not confident. What do you think? I live in Massachusetts, but this might not be a native species.
A gorgeous dark fairytale, just right for reading on an autumn afternoon
Free Fiction Friday is here! Magic, monsters, suspicious accidents, and outright murder. Enjoy this tale of dark court intrigue by Marina Konrad magazine.trollbreath.com/human-promis...
Just found out Patrick Stewart has died. A giant has fallen. 😞
@the-lettersea.com this one's amazing. It's so bittersweet, yet so uplifting!

Spent my Saturday not writing, not narrating, but coaching a HS volleyball team at an inter scholastic competition. We won, so yay, but I’m wiped. Tomorrow, I’ll get some me time (I hope). #norestforthewicked #sleepwhenyouredead #teacherlife #creativelife #writer #narrator #teacher #tired

As of yesterday, I am officially an audiobook narrator! I've spent the last 2 yrs taking acting & improv classes, getting coached, & more. Took my time to make sure I could do it right! #audiobooks #audiobooknarrator #cozyromance #audible tinyurl.com/5n74y3sy
The Enchanted April
Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Magic is in the air at San Salvatore. At least, Lotty Wilkins seems to think so. Tired of living in the shadow of her perfectly proper solicitor husband and desperate for some alone time, she recruits a new friend to join her in renting a small Italian c...

Day 221! I read Springtime Magic by @karchwrites.bsky.social published in @hearthstories.bsky.social. Sometimes it's our differences that make us closest. Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/08/09/s...
S/D/Y Aug 09 – Springtime Magic by Katherine Karch – Hearth Stories
This story was lovely. A little coming of age tale about two witches finding strength in their differences and discovering their mutual attraction. The world building here is great, the idea behind…

Just finished watching "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die." I liked it. While very different, there was something about it that reminded me of "12 Moneys." #movies
What can I say? I'm a weirdo in the booth. I get heated about grammar, swear a LOT, make odd noises, and generally keep myself quite entertained. Looking for a narrator? Let's chat! #audiobooknarration #bloopers #outtakes #voiceactor #inthebooth
This year’s #Readercon book haul. I’ll be reading ODE TO THE HALF-BROKEN 1st bc Suzanne Palmer very generously gave me a copy (& signed it!) at the end of our panel together. She didn’t have to do that, but that’s the kind of generous & wonderful person she is. #reading #sff #books #greatbooks

Sitting down to watch THE LONG WALK on HBO tonight. Fingers crossed it doesn’t suck, because I loved the novella. Or was it a book? It was part of “The Bachman Books” collection I had way back when. Anyone seen it? Thoughts? #stephenking #thelongwalk #books #movies #movieadaptaions
This is my last guaranteed appointment at the Biblioplex, which I adore beyond all reason! I hope to see you there (and I do have more friendship bracelets for all five colleges).
The magical @seananmcguire.bsky.social is coming to the Biblioplex during ALA! See a slice of Arcavhios, meet the author of Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos and get your copy signed. Who was your favorite character in the book? 🤔 #MTGStrixhaven #ALAAC26
I love The X-Files, but as of S3E18 both Mulder and Scully really need to get better about turning on the lights of a room when they first enter it. They don’t even usually look around for a light switch!

Got my finalized schedule for this year's #Readercon happening July 9-12 in Burlington, MA. Feeling a bit gobsmacked by the caliber of the folks I'm going to be sharing table space with during my panels. I suspect I may be doing more listening than speaking, lol. #SFF #author #writingcommunity
