I've been loving some of the silly bookish valentines popping up on my feed, so here's a few from my favorite romantasies. I'll have a few hard SFF ones coming along as well. Featuring Fourth Wing, Captive Prince and ACOTAR's the Suriel. #booksky 💙 📚 🪐 💗 ❤️

Thanks for your help brainstorming, Google. Biggerstaff just doesn't have a hard SFF vibe. If pressed, I see this character as giving off more Shuffletop vibes then a Shufflebottom. 😬 I went with "Altmark" after checking a genealogy site. #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #authorsofbluesky

Non bookish post again. Sorry. Finished my last queries for Red Demon except for a few agents who may or may not open up in Feb. About to start reworking a sci-fi short story. Avoiding Onyx Storm spoilers. Hope y’all are doing well! #authorlife #amwriting #foodcrimes 📚

I'm an addict. It's been a busy work week, so I dream up more book plots. My stories fight to demand the attention they are not receiving. I can't wait to release some larger projects this year to share the worlds I've built. #AuthorsofBluesky

#Booksky 5 of 6 🪐 📚 💙 Few of us share the locations where our armor is weak. We just put it on every day, and look for ways to patch it. So for all the rest of y’all who need a little found family and hope to standing up to corruption in their books right now… here with you.

#Booksky 4 of 6 🪐 📚 💙 We don’t need deep themes about humanity's hidden darkness if we currently within that dark place, or have lived through enough morbid revelations about human nature to last a lifetime.

#Booksky 3 of 6 🪐 📚 💙 This is a book that gives us a little brain space back, and that’s fine. Please do not shame other readers for having different tastes. For those of us who enjoy more literary works, we are generally reading those in quiet, peaceful moments in our lives.

#Booksky 2 of 6 🪐 📚 💙 I hardly think Rebecca Yarros went in with the intent of writing a literary book, but it worked. Not every book needs dense poetic prose. How many of us listen while multitasking, or read a chapter at a time while our mind races with daily stresses?

A few years ago when I listened to Fourth Wing, I excitedly told a friend I found the first book to fill that ACOTAR-shaped hole of adventure and trauma bonding. She disagreed. She thought the prose was lazy garbage and themes superficial. In short, not literary enough. #Booksky 1 of 6 🪐 📚 💙

When The Mask Slips by Iris Kayan: High-action plot with complex characters, a detailed immersive setting with vivid prose, and great tension throughout. I appreciated the dual POV and twistiness. Fell in love with these characters and glad to hear there will be a sequel! 💙 📚 🪐 #booksky

New newsletter up on my site! Quite happy with this new character art for Jesse, my main POV character for my science fantasy Red Demon. I also talk about all the other projects I'll be working on and publishing in 2025. It should be a big year! https://buff.ly/3DPpfSi #writinggoals #authorsky

I'm currently rewriting Introgression Tree, a romantasy. It's taking me a while to find the same tension and pacing as I did for Red Demon, but I think I'm getting there. I'll catch up on reading and reviews soon! #author #amwriting #princessbride

Crescent City Trilogy is an easy 5 stars from me: high action, high stakes, and lots of sass. It follow a half-fae party girl Bryce Quinlan navigating the mysterious death of her best friend. 💙📚 I’ll say more about each individual book later! #booksky #bookhaul #CrescentCity #SarahJMaas • • • •

Hear me out... A holiday movie, but instead of someone finding love just before the holidays, they hear from an awesome literary agent who wants to sign them. Based on a true story that hasn't happened yet! Spoilery Submission Package: tinyurl.com/5n7p53n3 #writingcommunity #Authors #AmQuerying

What bookish gifts are y'all excited to gift this year? PS - I never did find a good Middle Grade book that involved unicorns and battle scenes, per my kid's request. Time to write one in 2025! 💙 📚 🪐 📚 #booksky #eragon #signedbooks #thrifted #fantasy #dragons

Starling House provides poignant prose or a "hmm, never thought about it that way" on every page. I don't think my brain will ever be capable of doing what #AlixEHarrow can do with words. Spooky setting, morally gray FMC, a few swords, and a light non-spicy romance arc. 💙 📚 💙 🪐 #booksky

Not a holiday read, but an excellent read! 4.5 stars from me. Expect: Pan's Labyrinth vibes, Fantasy Horror, Literary Prose, spice that kill the mood and make you fear pregnancy, and unreliable narrator and themes of race, family secrets and feminism. #booksky 💙 📚 🪐 📚

Just another book compatibility post. I'm with the ACOTAR cult. A Court of Mist and Fury stuck with me in a way few books do - high action and high emotional impact, unforgettable settings and characters. I loved Crescent City and most of the Throne of Glass series as well! 💙 📚 🪐 📚 #Booksky
