Speaking of debuts that I loved ⬇️

Jen 📚 Book Den @bookden.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Wait, what? Me. I've always looked for and love reading debuts. I was on an awards jury for debuts for years. I *do* have a debut shelf.

It's time to remind people that it is very common to not get scared by print media the way one can get scared by video. The reader gets to decide what is and isn't horror. Horror does not have to be *scary* to be horror. 💙📚🩸

Horror explores trauma, grief, paranoia, violence, social issues, and the darker parts of humanity more honestly than many other genres do. "The People Under the Stairs" tackles racism, class exploitation, gentrification, abuse, and greed better than most prestige dramas, and it’s way more fun too.

I don't understand how there are *still* readers that are immersed in social media, read tons of books every single year, and they never read women. PLEASE Fonda Lee, N.K. Jemisin, T. Kingfisher, Amal El-Mohtar, R.F. Kuang, Susanna Clark, Tananarive Due, Emily St. John Mandel at the very least 💙📚🪐

Haley Pham nails grief perfectly in Just Friends. This is a second chance/childhood friends to lovers romance. This is an impressive debut! Pham's love of romance shines through. 💙📚

If you love science fiction AND fantasy, Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky is the perfect marriage between the two. Told in alternating genre POVs, it's a unique and wonderful read. 💙📚🪐

Wow. The sequel to The Raven Scholar will be released October 2027. What a wait! It gives you plenty of time to read The Raven Scholar, though, if you haven't. An absolute favorite read of last year.

Just finished Hell’s Heart by Alexis Hall (read excellently by Charli Ann Delores) - spicy queer Moby Dick in space (or just Moby Dick in space depending on your take on the original) with a lot of social commentary and alien monsters. Splendid read.

Good rule of thumb: If someone ever says something isn't a horror movie, then it probably actually is.

I'm tired of YouTube videos that say "I watched 20 booktube videos and these are the best books/series/whatever and instead of giving credit to the videos they scrubbed, they fill their description with affiliate links.

It's been long enough since I've immersed myself into #StarWars. It's like childbirth. I eventually forget the pain! I bought a Star Wars puzzle today to try to appease myself for a little bit before heading back into suffering.

This was a reply to my post that started with "people are so bitter this time of year". I mean, thank you for proving me right, but a going to the beach goal sounds nice, doesn't it? 🏖️

I was just noticing people setting reading goals. I'm like, really? Should I set chocolate eating goals and going to the beach goals, too? Weird, imo. I mean, whatever, but I don't set goals for my recreational activities.
