Chris is here to tell you why this duology is amazing (and I 100% agree).
Chris Monceaux 🌈📚 | Biblio Nerd Reflections@biblionerdrflxn.bsky.social · 6d agoSunsplitter – ARC Review Hello, everyone! Today I'm reviewing Sunsplitter by S.A. MacLean. I really enjoyed the first book in this duology, …...
"A FORSAKEN PROPHECY is an excellent sequel full of all the angst and complicated emotions you could want from our poor tortured protagonists." Thanks to @sagapressbooks.bsky.social for the ARC! #booksky

San Diego Comic Con Book Haul! I once again had a lot of fun running around one of the busiest cons of the year. In between meeting friends and some awesome panels, I managed to find my way to the book booths and snag some free goodies. What looks good to you? #booksky
Been a minute since I had a Saturday morning to myself without adulting to do and I'm fully taking advantage of it!
"THE INFINITE STATE is a dystopian sci-fi that's ironically undercut by succeeding a little too well at crafting a seemingly inescapable authoritarian police state." Thanks to @torbooks.bsky.social for the ARC!

"SUNSPLITTER is the spicy action-packed follow-up to VOIDWALKER, and it manages to deftly balance romance, action, and character in one fantastic finale." Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the ARC!

"THE EYE OF LEVIATHAN is a juxtaposition of whimsy and harsh reality that makes for a brutal examination of religious conversion and colonialism." Thanks to Orbit Books for the Free ARC! realmsofmymind.wordpress.com/2026/07/06/r...

NEWS: My gender-swapped reimagining of The Mummy (1999), THE DARKNESS BENEATH, is officially coming March 9, 2027! It’s now available to add on Goodreads and for pre-0rder, with pre-0rder goodies! All links in bio!
I cleared my reading decks yesterday, time to pick my next read! Going with my ARC of fantasy romance SUNSPLITTER, sequel to VOIDWALKER (which I loved) and the duology finisher!
This week in reading! What are you reading this week?
Immersive with gorgeous prose and reminiscent of The Last Unicorn. 🦄 This takes the real history of Anne of Brittany, and takes it into the realm of fantasy during the vibrant time period between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.🗡️
Treated myself to a (restrained) bookstore trip this weekend!
My toxic trait is writing "review to come" on Goodreads and then never updating it.
Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)
Heading into the weekend with kick-ass ladies and fire-breathing lizards!
We are wrapping up mental health awareness month year in the US, but if you’re like me and you love to read books with mental health representation all year round, give these books a try. #booksky

Book Review : The Dragon Has Some Complaints
When I read the blurb for The Dragon Has Some Complaints, I immediately pictured the classic three-headed dragon meme, where each head has a wildly different personality. Whether or not that is where the inspiration for this novel comes from, this three-headed dragon—named Garrodigh—does have very distinct personalities. Each head is referred to by their position on the body of the dragon—Centerhead, Upperhead, and Bottomhead, and formerly, Lefty.
