#CurrentlyReading GLIFF. Which is mad in the beautifully hypnotic way words can be when in the hands of the right person. One example - β€˜Supera Boundering’. Love it πŸ’› #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š #Speculative πŸͺπŸ“š #Books #Author #Writer#WritingCommunity #Bookish #Fiction #NewFiction

Just a reminder that the "don't buy stuff" action for tomorrow Fri 2/28 refers to corporations. Feel free to celebrate the day by shopping at your local indie bookstore and/or other small local shops. They will appreciate your business! #Booksky #ShopLocal #IndieBookstores
