Me when I started my holidays: I will read loads of books. Me actually on holiday

I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

What do you call a man who's had too many Margaritas? A cab. #punny #pun #punday

Just kicking this up for the evening crowd. Disaster bisexual Vikings, draugr, baby dragon feeding schedules...

This is why I would never buy or recommend a #Kindle by #Amazon. I will always buy an #ereader that gives me full control of the #ebooks I own, like #Kobo. I need to be able to also upload any #book that I want like those I purchase from #HumbleBundle or anywhere else. #avidreader #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

πŸ˜‚ True dat! I find rubbing alcohol works great at removing the sticky residue. I have a little spray bottle for that. #books #avidreader #BookSky #bookwormproblems πŸ’™ πŸ“š youtu.be/J-D28bBiWd4

We cannot wait for @richardswanauthor.bsky.social’s first science fiction book, an β€˜epic and hard-hitting space opera’, THE INFINITE STATE - which will be published by Gollancz in summer 2026! tinyurl.com/39d3hsvh

So one of the #books I've been (slowly) reading is #Oathbringer. I was reading the mass market paperback but found that the text is much smaller and the book is too fat. So I switched to the ebook and have been consuming it a lot quicker now. #avidreader #bookworm #BrandonSanderson

Absolutely no to that new Smurf movie. And I really don't know about that new Jurassic World movie.

"There is nothing the ignorant prize more than the ignorance of others." Excerpt from the #book I'm currently reading, The Darkness that Comes Before, book one of The Prince of Nothing, by R. Scott Bakker. #avidreader #bookworm #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

I reliably do two of these things but sometimes struggle with the middle one. My impulse is too often towards snark or overly aggressive devil's advocacy or otherwise inserting my own issues and not leading with kindness. I'm working on it, and people are welcome to call me out when needed.

I haven't been active here lately. I've been avoiding all the politics and the shitshow in neighbouring America. I get enough of it elsewhere. I have done my best to NOT have any politics in my stream. I've had to mute some friends, for example, but it's a battle I'm not winning. I'm just burnt out.

pls take a 10s emotional break and look at my cat

How fun! Anyone named Martin? Want a chance to get a free book signed by Mark Lawrence himself?! πŸͺπŸ“šπŸ’™

I was just minding my own business and then, all of a sudden, 1995 was 30 years ago. I need to lie down.

Found a copy of this #omnibus of #SpeciesImperative by @julieczerneda.bsky.social at #ValueVillage. As a local author, I've kept an eye on her books, but had not picked up any of them, yet. My shelves are overflowing, but I'll have to make room! #BookSky #CanadianAuthor #ScienceFictionBooks πŸͺπŸ“šπŸ’™

Nice! Will definitely check this out. #bluesky #flashes #instagram

Been in a bit of a reading slump after the holidays. Finding it hard to read any of my current #books right now. It's not that any of them are boring, but my mind insists on being distracted. I always feel like I should be doing something else, but I don't know what. Do you know what I mean?

I'm tired of #singlechick #bot accounts here. Every day, I seem to be blocking yet another single chick. Like, look bitch, I'm gay. Fuck off.

After finishing Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence as my first book of the year, these are my carry-over #books from 2024, except for #Stargate. I just started that one.

Here is the navigation sheet for Wars of Light and Shadows, with annotations, that can be (also) downloaded in PDF from the Paravia website:

After a week and a half of Saturdays, it’s finally Thursday, which feels like a Monday.

Apparently, it's National #ScienceFiction Day in the US. Are you currently reading a #ScienceFictionBook? If so, which #book? Of the 4 books I'm reading, #LightBringer by Pierce Brown is my current #SciFi read. πŸͺπŸ“šπŸ’™

Children of Time is a kindle monthly deal this month!

Ban book bans!!
