Booksky! Do you have any recs for books where "food or a meal is significant to the story’s plot"? Am reading this for a challenge and the book I chose just didn't work for me so now I'm at a loss

browsing through the Adrian Tchaikovsky section of a bookstore and realizing you cannot buy a book from this man that doesn't have a "won the Arthur C Clarke" stamped on it and this brings me so much joy

Our newest novella, This Mortal Coil, is dark fairytale-esque story about a skeleton who has outlived their evil wizard master, their judgemental sword companion, and a quest they never asked for. Written by @mythjae.bsky.social Illustrated by @soengery.bsky.social Cover art by @artwins.bsky.social

The cover for This Mortal Coil (art by Jan and Vlad Schwarts) showing a skeleton in an embroidered cloak and holding a broken gold sword. In the background is a path that leads up to a shadowed castle against a bright red sky, lit by a large moon.

My doctor is pretty convinced that's why I'm sick now; he thinks the thyroiditis and goiter started once I hit too many months of chronic stress. I'm trying my best to get better, and that's why I seriously appreciate the support/shares/boosts; it truly means a lot. gofund.me/7872605fc

Today on new additions to the adventure of reading: the new edition of Mexican Gothic with its pulpish cover (love it. Couldn't help myself). And Consider Phlebas, the start of my Culture journey, to better understand the influences behind Stewart Hotston's Project Hanuman

An image of the book cover for "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. The cover features a vintage, pulpish horror aesthetic in shades of deep red and teal. A woman with dark, 1950s-style hair and a worried expression holds a lit lantern. She is bathed in a ghostly teal light that contrasts with the saturated red background. Below her, a several eerie mushrooms surround her.A paperback titled "Consider Phlebas" by Iain M. Banks lies on a patterned surface. The cover art features a stylized, retro-sci-fi aesthetic with a winding blue pathway leading toward a distant horizon under a dark, starry sky. Geometric white lines and a large circular celestial body create a sense of depth and scale. The author's name is prominently displayed in large, bold, white sans-serif lettering across the center.

Backed a kickstarter by installments (apparently it's a new thing —or at least I never noticed it. Yes I used an em dash and am a real person!!—), so I could give more. Am now wondering how this works for the campaign owner? If 1st installment is taken only if fully funded, how does the rest work?

After an incensed interaction (not, they called me within 5m and immediately solved my problem) with customer service, and a late preorder, I finally got this in my hands

The cover of "Sublimation" by Isabel J. Kim. The title is written in large, vertical sans-serif letters on the right side against a dark background. On the left, against a teal backdrop, is a surreal image of a person’s face and neck repeated and layered vertically, creating a cascading effect. The woman has dark hair and vibrant red lipstick.
