As always, pre-orders are so vital -- they tell bookstores how many copies to stock, and tell publishers there's interest in more from this writer/series! May I suggest pre-ordering from my amazing queer-owned neighborhood indie, Astoria Bookshop? 💖 www.astoriabookshop.com/item/p5lAnqx...

First senior #USWNT caps for Kate Del Fava and Pietra Tordin!
I listened to the Victorian Psycho audiobook at work today & found it delightfully unhinged & gory. However. Having seen the trailer for the film beforehand, I must ask: WHY must they always skinny-wash an explicitly fat character?? (I think Maika Monroe is great but @ powers that be: why??)
When the Museum is Closed by Emi Yagi was an utterly delightful read with an unexpectedly poignant perspective on fear of intimacy & self-imposed loneliness 💛
September reads! Especial favs: • A Snake Among Swans by Hannah Kaner • The Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty • Affinity by Sarah Waters • The Duke by Anna Cowan • Volatile Memory by Seth Haddon (re-read) • Null Entity by Seth Haddon
For whatever godforsaken reason my dreams last night were positively infected (pun intended!) by cockroaches!! Every new “scene” featured at least one new cockroach!! Whyy!!! What did I do to deserve such horror!!!
I loved this book! As a body horror enjoyer, this really hit the spot: so gooey and gross and terrifying in the best ways. The story was really compelling and fast paced and it only got faster by the end!
Lesser Hungers is my horror debut, starring a blue collar nonbinary lesbian with something (?) haunting their blood, their 100 year old ghost girlfriend, and sentient cannibal mold. The reviews speak for themselves! www.amazon.com/Lesser-Hunge... Also in audio: haruspex-audio.com/products/les...
Reppin’ the stars and stripes 🇺🇸 Pietra and Soph will join the USWNT in October for two friendlies against Spain! This is Pietra’s first senior team call up! 🥹
i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.
Over here serving sapphic fantasy romances without men. Call that nomantasy.
Finished reading Null Entity last night, cried myself to sleep 🥲
We’re so ATL 🫰 Today, the NWSL’s 17th club unveiled it’s name and crest: Atlanta City FC. Sound off for ATL, coming in 2028!
Finished reading The Duke by Anna Cowan and oops maybe I’m not a Romance™️ hater after all? Maybe I’ll have to eat my words? Also, as a person who replies “thighs” when asked “boobs or ass?” this book said “I got you, don’t worry” 🦵😉
if you are an old school historical romance reader, i am taking you ungently by the cravat and looking deeply into your eyes when i say: read this
My niece is one year old today!! She’s constantly smiling & chatting, she loooves food, & she’s walking like a pro! She’s the best thing in the world! 🥰
