Yesterday I got book mail for my birthday! Love time travel, and this book hooked me from the preface. Read the first pages of Hive by @dlorton.com , and wow, it hit hard fast! Very exciting to dive into this one. Thank you @beardofdarkness.bsky.social for sending this my way.

I am thoroughly enjoying “The Rift Walker” series by @clayharmon2.bsky.social. The first book, “Flames of Mira” has become one of the most visually engaging stories with the most compelling characters I’ve read in a while.

The book, “King’s Dragon” by @kateelliottsff.bsky.social, below I randomly saw in a booktube video, zoomed in to see who the author was, and then instantly ordered it based SOLELY off its beautiful cover. 🧵 continued below 👇

Whoah…this one is ALL the DARKNESS! If you’re a Grimdark/Dark Fantasy fan, DO NOT sleep on “Godblind (Book 1 of The Godblind Trilogy)” by Anna Stephens! #annastephens #grimdark #fantasybook

I predict all who love horror/SFF literature will soon be familiar with greatness that is Phillip Fracassi’s prose. Pick a book, you can’t go wrong. I recommend reading THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE I just finished. It’s out 9/30 #amreading @torbooks.bsky.social @pfracassi.bsky.social
