Barnes & Noble is holding a preorder sale! I just preordered: -When the Moon Hits Your Eye by @scalzi.com -Brigands & Breadknives by @travisbaldree.bsky.social -Dealing with Dragons by @jaleighjohnson.bsky.social -Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Ring of Fire by @davidmack.bsky.social How about you?

I just cracked open @rosieethor.bsky.social's "Firefly: Aim to Misbehave." WOW! The author has done an incredible job of capturing the voices of these beloved characters. If you're a fan of the #Firefly series, make sure to pick this one up. You won't regret it. #booksky #scifi #fantasy #serenity

Dan Brown is back! You can preorder the new Robert Langdon novel "The Secret of Secrets." And if you head over to @barnesandnoble.com, you'll get 40% off the hardcover. Or preorder a signed copy. And, before you ask, of course I preordered the signed book! 😜 #booksky #danbrown #robertlangdonreturns

What does it say about me that I'm more excited for the release of @travisbaldree.bsky.social's "Brigands & Breadknives" than my own birthday? 🤣

If you're looking to support independent bookstores, check out @librofm.bsky.social. They have some great sci-fi/fantasy audiobooks on sale. My faves: - "Forge Master" by @sethring.bsky.social - "Dreadful" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social - "Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz" by @garthnix.bsky.social

While I'm still holding out hope for a new Mickey 7 novel soon-ish, I was stoked to see that @edashtonwriting.bsky.social is releasing a new standalone novel next month titled "The Fourth Consort." If it's as good as "Mal Goes to War" then we're all in for a treat. Can't wait! #booksky #scifi

I thought I'd share my partial collection of @kevinhearne.bsky.social's Iron Druid Chronicles. I found the first few books in a secondhand store years ago and immediately fell in love. While I'm sad the series is over, I was stoked to hear that we're getting "Oberon's Bathtime Stories" in April! 🐾

Reading the "Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse" trilogy. Now on the second book. Who knew that all I needed in my life was a group of heroes with nothing more than industrial grade Windex and their wits to put a smile on my face. Thank you @jimchines.bsky.social! You are a scholar and a gentleman.

In this New Year, treat yourself to @jaleighjohnson.bsky.social's "The Fallbacks: Bound for Ruin" for 50% off at @barnesandnoble.com. It's a fantastic @dndbeyond.com adventure with a misfit crew. And the best part? The sequel comes out in July! And, if for no other reason, do it for Uggie...

Cannot wait for the third book in @travisbaldree.bsky.social's world of "Legends & Lattes." And that it'll focus on the foul-mouthed, bibliophile ratkin named Fern? Awesome! Will she get her bookstore in Thune next to Viv's coffee shop? What's with the breadknives? So many questions!

Using my first Bluesky post to name my favorite reads of 2024: - "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" by T.J. Klune - "Gravity Lost" by L.M. Sagas - "The Teller of Small Fortunes" by @julieleong.bsky.social - "Dreadful" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social - "The Fallbacks" by @jaleighjohnson.bsky.social So good.
