For #BlueBrewBooks currently reading Ellis Peters’ Death to the Landlords. Peters is best known for her Brother Cadfael mysteries, which are great! This book I’m reading is the 11th book in her Felse series. She also wrote historical fiction under her real name of Edith Pargeter. See alt. 💙📚⚡️⏳

Photo of three paperback books on a counter. The books are all by the same author, Ellis Peters, also known as Edith Pargeter (her real name). I’m currently reading Death to the Landlords, pictured with a bookmark. It’s the 11th book of her Felse series. It took me a couple of tries to get into her Felse books, but I’m glad I tried again. They are mysteries set at the same time the books were written 1950s - 1970s.

Peters is probably best known for her Brother Cadfael mysteries, which are great reads! Once I started them, I read them all in about 2 years. Pictured here is the first Cadfael book, A Morbid Taste for Bones.

Finally, this author wrote historical fiction under her real name of Edith Pargeter. Pictured here is A Bloody Field by Shrewsbury. Love her historical fiction too! They are usually set in the 11th - 14th centuries. Shrewsbury is set during 1399 - 1413, and is about Henry of Bolingbroke overthrowing his cousin King Richard II, to take the throne as King Henry IV. Highly recommended Pargeter’s Welsh Princes quartet, the first one is called Sunrise in the West.

I am a Peters/Pargeter completist. Working on reading them all 😀

Today @summerhanford.bsky.social reviews Sarah Hawley's Servant of Earth! - JI 🐉 "The various peoples, the politics, the physical locations, all rendered beautifully and seamlessly. Servant of Earth is a masterclass in worldbuilding." fantasy-faction.com/2026/servant... #booksky 💙📚🪐🌶️

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a white woman with flowing auburn hair, in a green velvet dress with a red underlining. It is tied at the waist with a golden rope that floats off to the right and left of her. In front of the woman is a highly carved sword with a ruby on its pommel. Around the edge is a gold Art Nouveau frame covered in vines and flowers, and decorated with a carved woman's face at the bottom and six gem stones on the corners and the top. The background of the image is the close up photo of a bush with dark green leaves.

Today @summerhanford.bsky.social reviews Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn! - JI 🐉🦄 "[It] has a universality that transcends time, cultures, and genre...Beagle speaks to hopes, fears, and aspects of human frailty found at the heart of us all." fantasy-faction.com/2026/the-las... #booksky 💙🪐📚

The book cover sits on the left of the image. It is designed to look like a woodblock print done in black ink, on paper that fades from lavender to turquoise blue. It shows a hill with trees at the top. Below is a winding river that empties into the sea at the bottom. About halfway down on the right of the river is a pair of carnival wagons. Below them on the left is decrepit castle with a path leading to a cave on the ocean's edge. Forests and hills make up the rest of the space. At the top of the cover among the trees, done in white instead of black, is the unicorn and a butterfly standing under the full moon and a sky of stars, all done in white. The background of the image is blue paint fading to white. To the right of the cover is the quote from the post, with the words, "Summer Hanford, Fantasy-Faction" after it.

🧵 1/3 Surreal pic by Mars Express' HRSC in infrared, green & blue light. It shows Mars' South Pole in December 2012: an extra layer of frozen CO2 (dry ice) covers the permanent ice cap (the white area). science.nasa.gov/resource/mar... Credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin/Bill Dunford 🔭 🧪 ⚛️ #planetsci

This image captures Mars’ South Pole with its polar ice cap, during winter. It looks almost like an abstract painting — a large irregular white patch wrapped in swirling dunes and terrain in shades of red and ochre, shaped by wind and dust. In reality, it’s a stunning high-resolution photograph taken by ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft.
