🐝 Morning! 🐝 New review today for THE STARVING SAINTS by Caitlin Starling. It’s a medieval horror fever dream in which three women try to free their keep from the thrall of seemingly benevolent saints. πŸ©ΈπŸ“šπŸ’™ aliteraryescape.com/2025/05/12/t...

Time to choose my next book πŸ˜‘

But some jobs are more difficult than others. πŸ”– story: mybook.to/RXIIkD πŸ’Œ itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

Really enjoying my book but I wonder... who observes length of something in any inches when they find something new? This sometimes pulls me out of an otherwise great story

I enjoyed the unusual thriller that is The Other People by CB Everett www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/4/...
