If you're torn up about Neil and what it means for his work... if you're looking for something with the heart of Good Omens but not written by a rapist, I can't recommend Small Miracles enough. It was a balm for my soul during difficult times. Mind how you go. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... - ThreadSky

Thank you! The Neil stuff has felt brutal, and, there is a definite ick factor now for what were some of my favourite books. Finding some new fantasy authors who haven’t had much of a platform before is bringing some light though.

Thanks for the recommendation! It sounds great. I borrowed it from the library.

kirsten-marion.bsky.social•48 days ago

I loved this book! It’s such a good read. As are her other books.

esmeweatherwax8.bsky.social•48 days ago

Half a Soul was one of the first fantasy romances ive ever truly loved. There are still only a handful that would fall into that category.

kirsten-marion.bsky.social•48 days ago

Have you read any of India Holton’s books? They’re wonderful.

esmeweatherwax8.bsky.social•48 days ago

If you think the year can't get any worse and it did multiple times already ignoring the fact that it is merely 2 weeks old.
I just like to curl up in a cardboard box and sleep until someone prepares my meal.

I'm just surrounding myself with more and more cats.

We call them crazy, the ladies who love cats, but i think we are the more sane among society.

spareri.bsky.social•48 days ago

Nothing wrong with more cats. If you have a spare box, add a cat. If you don't have a spare box....get more boxes.
My little fluffy psycho is snoring next to me in blissful ignorance.

Thank you! The post I needed with all this. That one hurt.

I took all my NG books out of my bookshelves and left them on a park bench for all the birds to shit on. He used to be one of my favourite authors, and now he's just another rapist scrotum face.

I read this book right after my dog died and I truly didn't think I could smile, but this book managed to get my spirits up enough to find some joy.

anechka.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thank you! Any other recs?? Balm for the soul is exactly the thing I’d love to find

esmeweatherwax8.bsky.social•48 days ago

You could also try Travis Baldree's legends and lattes

esmeweatherwax8.bsky.social•48 days ago

All of her works are amazing.

I'd also recommend T. Kingfisher, Stephanie Burgis, Terry Pratchett <3

esmeweatherwax8.bsky.social•48 days ago

Quenby Olson's dragon series is also adorable
