I finally finished @scribeofhades.bsky.social Daytide at midnight, and I am here to tell you all it’s 5 stars from me. I need time to sit with it for a full review but these characters!! Adam! Hadriel! I’m IN LOVE, order this giant work of art before it sells out from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social

I’m off to Cape May today for our annual girls trip and of course I need to bring books. I’m still burning through @scribeofhades.bsky.social magnum opus Daytide, but I’m also bringing two of my fave authors along with me. @catrionaward.bsky.social and @nathanballingrud.bsky.social

In @sgj.bsky.social's flash fiction collection STATES OF GRACE, "The Sheep You Shear Will Turn Out To Have Been Koala Bears All Along, Or, How To Write a Novel" is a 12-point list outlining a set of characters & reveals.
