Remember when everyone was posting their Wordle results on social media every day? What a strange time that was.

REVIEW: Daggermouth by H. M. Wolfe Daggermouth transports us to New Found Haven, a city carved into rings of privilege and poverty, watched over by masked elites who treat love like treason and obedience like oxygen.

Powerful in how unapologetically feral, messy, and perfectly imperfect it is.

All Screw and No Driver...

My daughter's first day of rowing practice this morning:

45 degrees, foggy, bit of a misty rain, had to change her socks three times...yet she walked to the car with a huge smile on her face and said how great it was being back on the water.

I guess she loves it.

Finished - Butcher's Folly
by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social. I loved book 1 in this series and I was very excited to get back. And it did not disappoint. And I’m so ready, to read book 3. But I have to pace myself. Fun action and full of thrills. Be ready for a solid ride. Get your magboots on.

So looking forward to reading this!

in case you missed it yesterday, we have released the cover for book 3 of the ANA AND DIN MYSTERIES, which is A TRADE OF BLOOD

REVIEW: Green & Deadly Things by Jenn Lyons If you like the sound of fast-paced and darkly fun standalone fantasy adventure with strong ideas, twisted greenery, and a romantic core, I would definitely give Green & Deadly Things a shot.

Necromancers, a holy knight school, sentient killer trees, and the promise that history got it all wrong.

I hope everyone is reading something amazing this weekend. I've been fortunate to receive a couple of fantasy ARCs in the past week, so I'm excited to tackle those.

Happy Friday!!!

I just find it strange that the people who claim to "hate AI" have no problem remaining on X, a platform run by one of the biggest supporters of AI on the planet. I guess it really is all about the likes and retweets and not about the courage of your convictions.

Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!

Have the day off from work today. Maybe write a review?

Everyone knows the blue ones taste different.

My entire life has been a lie.

Still a banger.

How I arrived on Bluesky:

I know what I'll be reading tonight - DUST OF THE DEAD, by Michael R. Fletcher.

Not out until August, but Mike was nice enough to send me an advance copy. Just love this cover and can't wait to settle down and get into the story. If it's anything like his other stuff, I'll be in for a treat!

I would say you rock, but you already know that. Can't wait to read it. Thanks!

Review: The Book of Fallen Leaves by A.S. Tamaki

THE BOOK OF FALLEN LEAVES makes a valiant attempt to be the next great dark political fantasy, but is just too slow and muddled to succeed.

Thanks to Orbit Books for the ARC!
