This series is an ode to book lovers everywhere. 🪐📚💙 It felt like Laini Taylor's Strange the Dreamer mixed with Inkheart and Narnia, even Babel; combined with the awesomeness of @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social himself. #booksky #fantasybooks

'Dissolution' by @bingewriting.bsky.social is a thrilling take on the time travel genre, but also a more cerebral one for fans who like their science fiction challenging but also entertaining. Out now The SFBook.com review: sfbook.com/dissolution.... Thank you @rachelmayquin.bsky.social

“why didn’t you just do it earlier?” oh sorry i left my functioning executive system in my other pants

This story sparks and fizzes its way off the page in a way not many authors can ever achieve - a debut novel that has won my heart and mind in equal measure! Bug thanks to @rachelmayquin.bsky.social for my copy ❤️ bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/03/28/f...

Dark Matter meets Vitra Nostra. This was mind-bending and I would recommend going in blind knowing this is about memory and the power of the mind.🤯 Arc gifted by @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social @bingewriting.bsky.social @rachelmayquin.bsky.social #booksky #bookreview #scifibooks #thrillerbooks 🪐📚💙

Cuckoo has been marketed as a "messed up thriller" and I can confirm it! It’s a clever, twisted, complex novel exploring a deep obsession, a love so strong + a dark, haunting truth hidden beneath the lies. Intense, brilliantly paced and completely thrilling! @callieuntitled.bsky.social #BookSky
