this popped up on my feed again @stephanieburgis.bsky.social and every time I see it, I tell myself that this is one of my favorite cover. I love the art style, the colors, and the little images of crows/birds and leaves. I really need to bump this book up in my TBR. @jesscruicky.bsky.social

Thanks so much to everyone who offered suggestions in my hunt for a great decaf tea! Enchanted Narnia, by @birdandblendtea.bsky.social, is not only the prettiest tea I've ever made but is genuinely, addictively delicious. I had 3 cups yesterday and would have had a 4th if I'd stayed up later! :)

A Predator movie where the Predator shows up in Washington DC, but gets all bummed because there are no spines for him take as a trophy.

Hi there! I don't think I've properly introduced myself. My name is Alice, and I write speculative fiction based on Chinese history, folklore & mythology, with special interest in the #wuxia & #xianxia #fantasy genre and strong female leads. My latest duology mixes wuxia & xianxia tropes/vibes.

Begging book series to include a "previously on" recap at the beginning of the book. I've already forgotten everything that happened in previous books. I don't know who any of these people are or why they're all yelling at each other.

🚨WRITER BEWARE🚨 I've just gotten an email from a new "self-publishing platform" called Written (written.app), which is making suspiciously extravagant promises about the benefits they offer to authors. After further research, this is just "upload your book with us and make it an NFT :)" 🧵

Re Amazon getting rid of the "download your ebooks" button: I used this guy's guide to automate the downloading process of mine and it worked great. In theory, everything I owned should have been in Calibre already, but better safe than sorry. youtu.be/A4nRGFUClr8?...

I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me mashable.com/article/how-...

The last week or so there's been a lot of talk about Amazon thanks to their decision to remove downloads for Kindle books from their site. They're trapping you in their ecosystem. Readers are frustrated. Authors feel stuck. Stop giving Amazon so much power already.

End of the thread about the (ongoing!) LiveJournal security issues, so you can just read up from here

sigh. There's nothing I hate more than telling someone who's writing to us about an old account they've lost access to the email address for "sorry, we can't help you" because LiveJournal's abject security failure is the gift that keeps on giving even years later

This week's Monday snippet is from Wooing the Witch Queen, which is out in the US, UK, *and* Australia as of right now. Woot! Grab your copy here: stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen #romancelandia

I don’t remember who recommended The Spellshop by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social but I am so grateful! I chose the audiobook form on Libby, but I’ll be buying a copy of my own, because this book has earned a place on the “comfort read” list. Very, very few books make me look forward to a re-read!

A long but very interesting read suggesting that AI is a wildly damaging bubble, with a lot of numbers to back it up. "...it’s important to remember that the prevalence of AI is not proof of its adoption, but the intent of companies shoving it into everything."

Feeling like a good day to share the butt shot of a cat enjoying her moment in the sun.

@rahaeli.bsky.social Speaking of bots, I was looking for art of Ezio Auditore, and ended up finding a whole bunch of fake commission accounts with the text of "Artwork done🌈 for my pretty client (Will) and thank you so much🥰🥰 for supporting me😇" Often nsfw art, fyi

Seriously. This book. This. Book. I loved it so much. It's the sweetest, most gentle fantasy romance....and full of many creative uses of the word fuck. Lots of sex. If you still think sweet = no sex, this book will disabuse you of that. Thoroughly. A+

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

Jesse Singal and blocking update. The Bluesky user who set up a moderation list of Singal followers has begun adding trans people, including me, to the list. Do not use this list! If you want to mass block, use Blockenheimer. Good example of a malicious list 🫣
