Happy #bookbirthday to DIRECT DESCENDANT by @tanyahuff.bsky.social! "The secrets under Lake Argen are chilling, the hellhounds and eldritch horrors are adorable, and the romance goes from fated to bitter to sweet in an epic climax." —Library Journal, starred review⭐ awfulagent.com/ebooks/direc...

This is mostly for Angelenos, but feel free to sound off. My wife's an enrolled agent, a tax specialist certified to represent people to the IRS. Back taxes, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, etc. With the LA fires she's seeing a lot of confusion and looking to clear some of that up.

So, hivemind question. Suggestions for stories about post-tech human societies on exoplanets? I have Beckett’s Dark Eden and a lot of Le Guin short stories. Settings where the human colonists have been cut off for a long time.

If you want a truly unique read, my friend Mary Soon Lee's epic fantasy told entirely in verse is having a Goodreads Give Away: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... I know! In verse! If it were anyone other than Mary, I wouldn't think it could be done. I'm just a quarter way in and it's lovely!

Now reading Broken Souls by @stephenblackmoore.com Book 2 of Eric Carter series. Now married to the patron saint of death and looking for a divorce, he's the target of someone able to steal anyone's form, powers and memories. Oh and either his best friend's ghost is here, or psychotic break?

I decided to put my standing desk in the stand position for the first time in literal years. The power cable got caught in the wheel, and now everything is stuck. Whoopsie.

Too many good things about THE CONTEST in this review. 😍 Do I like "the perfect crime story" or "a strong character piece with an effective crime narrative" better?? Why not both!

The obsession with "hand signed" books will be the death of me. Or I'll just throw myself head-first into the abyss and never be seen or heard from again. Anyway, shout out to all the authors who use stamps or digital signatures because you physically can't "hand sign" books. You're valid.
