Movies you've watched more than six times and no one is surprised

still baffled by the number of creatives who rail against A/I art then turn around and use ch@tgpt "just for fun" 🫠

And today has taken a sharp turn from "bad but not surprising" to "unexpectedly and entirely shitty". (Which is independent of the lovely review for By the Pact I got today which was like a ray of light in a shitstorm of life.)

My review for 'By the Pact' by @authorjmac.bsky.social is now up on @sffinsiders.com A fun, fast-paced fantasy adventure featuring great world-building and a wide cast of characters including demons, arcanists and mages. www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-... #BookSky #Fantasy

Max is a minor character in Shadows of Eireland. He appears in Humanborn and Myth-Touched and has a "vibrant" personality. You can imagine why Kaja prefers not to visit too often. If you haven't read the complete series yet, you can get Humanborn, book 1, here: books2read.com/Human...

If there was a pill to cure procrastination, i'd probably take one tomorrow. #joke

Something lighthearted but still words-related for a Friday. Being a second language speaker means that sometimes, I ask my husband English-related questions. And this way, we arrive at fun sentences like this one. (Technically, there are 6 different ways, but two would make no sense.)

Waiting for May now ;) gizmodo.com/murderbot-tv...

If you're looking to binge books, why not get Kobo Plus? It's an alternative to that big store's subscription, and they offer first month free and all-you-can-read on both ebooks and audio. Here are some book available in K+ to get you started: books.bookfunnel.com...

*stares in scientist*

The Amazon driver just left a delivery at our door, a small and very light envelope, and I have to appreciate that he took time to pick up a rock from the flowerbed to weigh the envelope down so that it wouldn't blow away. Might be a small thing, but I noticed and appreciated it.

Sometimes, making a fun image is more about compositing rather than rendering a full image. In here, only the woman and the moon are 3d models. The rest is 2d postwork. I was aiming for the 1920s vibe with this one, and I was happy how it turned out. #3dart

Thanks to my husband, the main character of my new series now has a proper surname instead of [addsurnamehere].

No review today, so probably not the best day to remind people that I'm open to review requests for the reminder of 2025. I might take some days to answer, but if you have a release during 2025 and want Jamreads to cover it, don't hesitate to contact me.

Memories of Sorcery and Sand is less than two months away. And since it's hard to reveal too much about the story without spoiling it, I thought I'd introduce the characters instead... and do it with direct quotes from the book. Today it's Saeryn, the main character. books2read.com/MoSS

If you are a fantasy or horror artist we would love you to fill out our form to be in the #WorldFantasy2025 art show! worldfantasy2025.co.uk/art-show/ Ideally we would like to hear from people before the end of Feb, but if there are spaces after that it will remain open.

Veranesh has been around for a long time, and he'd seen arcanists do many foolish things. But will he be surprised to see that Kamira is not foolish at all? Get By the Pact free: books2read.com/ByThe... Or jump in to binge the full series: books2read.com/PAAO #booksky #fantasy #fantasybooks

Happy Valentine's Day! But with all the businesses bombarding us with the commercial stuff, let's keep it bookish. Which fictional character could you fall in love with? Did you ever have a fictional crush? Which character would be the worst as a real life partner?

Scammers aren’t even trying hard anymore. Not actually adjusting their template is one thing. The other is trying to convince me that it’s possible to get 200 per hour (“work 60-90 mins per day”) doing some vague, unspecified stuff with no specialized skills involved.

Just a reminder that if you don't have any plans (romantic or otherwise) for the upcoming weekend, I have two complete series, both perfectly binge-able that can provide plenty of escape. (MoSS is not out yet, included it for visual balance ;) ) And rhyming is hard, so excuse the poor poem.

In defense of today's breakfast, both Betty Crocker Batchables and Ninja Foodie make it very easy to have brownies for breakfast. Yeah, I know it's not really an excuse, but well. It's been a week.

February is a month of "everything love," so it's easy to get overwhelmed with romance. If you're looking for fantasy and science fiction that aren't focused on romance, check out this collection: books.bookfunnel.com...

Not all my renders are challenges to myself. Sometimes I just want to make "something nice and simple," like this woman sitting in a garden and daydreaming. #3dart

Today New Mexico (and others along with them) is celebrating Extraterrestrial Culture Day, so here's a related question. What's your "most" book with aliens: most original, silliest, most funny... Or just a "plain" favorite.

Since the release day for Memories of Sorcery and Sand is approaching, I'm opening to ARC readers sign ups. If you enjoy reviewing books you've read and like character driven sword and sorcery portal fantasy, check out the form for details: forms.gle/ECF9gywcLe... #booksky #fantasy

Kid crush GO! One of those series that was way too short but still left an everlasting impression on the young me. I watched it every chance I got.

Hey. You. Pre-order my book. It's on Kindle: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...
