gently pushes you towards THE LEGEND OF ELI MONPRESS and GODKILLER

submitted 1 day ago • 1 comment

may i recommend some high quality silliness??? THE GEOGRAPHER'S MAP TO ROMANCE had me gigglin' and kickin' my feet; you're in on the bits. HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE is a classic and a delight and has THE silliest plot twist. THE LEGEND OF ELI MONPRESS is an amazing fantasy book but is also SO funny???

KOSA is being reintroduced today. It's always been a dangerous censorship bill. But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights. We have to stop it. StopKOSA.com

Never assume that you know a stranger or a friend's financial situation. You don't. So if you ask for donations & people don't give, you really need to keep it moving. There are 1000 reasons why folks don't give and those reasons aren't your business. Thank those who do give & move on.

If you put someone's manuscript into AI to shortcut a review you should be banned as a peer reviewer from every publication out there.

i mean, you CAN, but if you like GIDEON THE NINTH and haven't read MONSTER OF ELENDHAVEN yet, you gotta get on that. it's the locked tomb's spiritual sibling in a very different form, a gay whalepunk novella that absolutely SLAPS, and the two authors are friends. it's so good and y'all slept on it.

hello!!! for books with excellent fantasy worldbulding and compelling romance and plot, i would recommend... 📚 SORCERY OF THORNS 📚 A DEADLY EDUCATION 📚 LEGENDBORN and a lot of what FOURTH WING does well comes straight from the OG dragon novel DRAGONFLIGHT, so pick that up, too!

do you like fantasy? then please pick up the audiobook for GODKILLER by hannah kaner. the book is incredible in every form but the audiobook narrator absolutely slaps, and it's the perfect fantasy to get lost in while taking long summer walks.

“The idea that we should all be using AI to protect our own jobs is a repeat of failed history. It reminds me of when Facebook encouraged the pivot to video that royally fucked over a lot of publishers and caused mass layoffs.”

That’s why it’s worth primarying every member of congress who has outstayed their welcome and force them to decide between having to run an actual campaign or retirement.

unfortunately, this isn't surprising given ... everything. if you're an author, consider joining @authorsabb.bsky.social if you're a reader looking to support the freedom read, show up for your local library! ilovelibraries.org And attend local school board meetings and fight for these books!

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

adventure and romance always makes me think of RAIDERS OF THE LOST HEART by jo segura and ROMANCING MISS STONE by m.c. vaughan if you want a "high stakes adventure movie but ALSO there's KISSING" book ✨
