Today's the day that the world can read one of the best books I've read this year - WEARING THE LION by @wiswell.bsky.social and here is my very enthusiastic review -- fanfiaddict.com/review-weari... #BookSky

BEST OF ALL WORLDS by @kennethoppel.bsky.social is the MOST Pandemic book I've read yet...it truly captures the feelings of being in Lock Down and questioning everything in this YA science fiction setting. My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-best-... #booksky

A bloody minor-key mixtape from one of the greatest voices in the genre, it is a real privilege to be a horror reader at the same time @claymcleod.bsky.social is writing. GO FORTH AND ACQUIRE TASTE. 9/9/25 @titanbooks.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-acqui...

Uhhhh. We hit the third stretch goal before I even announced it. What is happening?! www.kickstarter.com/projects/emm...

Please find below my #bookreview of The Veil by @ehbradley.bsky.social a dark horror with scifi undertones that I thoroughly enjoyed. Find my review at fanfiaddict.com/review-the-v... #horror #booksky 💙🧟📚

Reading BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL by V.E. Schwab was a visceral and primal experience... Schwab's latest book is out today from @torbooks.bsky.social and so are my thoughts about it --> fanfiaddict.com/review-bury-... #booksky

New book review! With a mix of gladiator-style combat, song-based magic, and a centuries-old feud between "unkillable" adversaries, Violence & Vigilance by David T List was a really fun read. fanfiaddict.com/review-viole... #FanFiAddict #booksky #bookreviews

For no reason, I thought about this today... www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I know everyone is watching The Feud... Which @aptshadow.bsky.social novel to read this week -- SHROUD or BEE SPEAKER????? #Feud #booksky

Drop something yellow. 🐔

"I hate bees, but man do I love Bees" - The third book in the Dogs of War series by @aptshadow.bsky.social, BEE SPEAKER is also out this week, making today #TchaikovskyThursday! Here's my thoughts on *another* latest book from a master in the field... fanfiaddict.com/review-bee-s... #booksky

Today's the day Americans get to read SHROUD, which makes it #TchaikovskyTuesday!! The latest by @aptshadow.bsky.social is one of my favorites of 2025 so far...check out my thoughts: fanfiaddict.com/review-shrou... #booksky

Oh man...AI *sucks*. Look at this travesty. If I assigned a kid a project on Miles Davis, I would assume an overview on the Google main page would have the death date of a man who died 34 YEARS AGO!

My 5-Star Reads for May... *The Will of the Many by James Islington, Death on Caldera by @emmypax.bsky.social (out soon!), I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman & Old Man's War by @scalzi.com (re-read). Bring on June!!! #booksky

A.S. Colworth's Empire's End (Dreams of the Fallen #0.5) might be one of the best fantasy novellas I've ever read - up there with the @ryancahill.bsky.social's of the world. A fast-paced, riveting read that exemplifies why a novella can be JUST AS impactful as an 800-page tome.

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY @ekjohnston.bsky.social !!

Happy Book Birthday to EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD EXCEPT ME by @djangowexler.bsky.social! The first in the duology was in my Top 10 last year...how does the second fare with me? Here's my thoughts on Wexler's comedic timeloop fantasy -- fanfiaddict.com/review-every... #booksky

Finished my 75th book of the year today. Finished the school year today. Let's see what I can do when I don't have to teach preteens every day.

Just finished the latest from Dean Koontz - GOING HOME IN THE DARK. A horror and sci-fi master still has the ability to entertain an audience - here's my review: fanfiaddict.com/review-going... #booksky
