Here’s to 33 👯🎉 I heard it’s supposed to be a good one, so bring it on 🍿 Started with surprise good news & lovely company! Also found out I’m great at space invaders 👾Who knew! Lovely arcade time with my wifey until we got overstimulated & walked home to the score of The Testament of Ann Lee 😅

Casper and his spouse at the arcade. The background is neon colored game machines. They’re sitting in red chairs. He’s a white transmasc person wearing a black hat, glasses, a black face mask, a pink-purple scarf, a tight denim vest and a floral button up. She’s a white trans woman with a blond undercut also wearing a black face mask, as well as a black and white stripe shirt, gray pants, and turquoise suspenders.

Congratulations to this exciting new release by @alexisames.bsky.social 🎉 I can’t wait to get my hands on it 😊 Queer indie Sci-Fi lovers looking for disability rep take note! #newrelease #📚 #queerauthors #queerbooks #disabledbooks #gaybooks #bookrec #indiebooks #scifi #queer #chronicallyill

Graphic against a starry space background with "OUT NOW!" in white letters at the top.

Centered is the book cover for The Last Infinity by Alexis Ames, featuring a person in a futuristic helmet and space suit looking toward a glowing light edge.

Surrounding the cover is the following floating text:
- Left side: Time travel; Found family; mlm and wlw relationships; I’ll love you in every reality.
- Right side: Disabled MCs; Chronic illness; Androids and robots; Set on Mars.

Text along the bottom reads: Available on Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, and more!

Graphic with a starry, deep-space nebula background and a red planet centered behind a book blurb. The blurb reads:

Cal Hunter is a cryo, a person who was cryogenically frozen after his death in the 22nd century. Resurrected four hundred years later, he now lives in the 26th century and works as a time traveler for the time agency on Mars.

After a mission goes disastrously wrong, Cal returns to his present to find that he’s seriously altered the timeline. All life on Earth and the Moon has been wiped out, leaving only a failing settlement on Mars of fewer than two thousand people. Even worse, Cal can no longer time travel due to his injuries.

The only person who can fix the timeline is Renata Carr, a teenager from the 20th century. She’s brought out of cryogenic suspension, and a reluctant Cal is put in charge not only of her training, but also her well-being. Meanwhile, Renata grapples with the grief of waking up in a strange century on another world while also coming of age—and falling in love with the daughter of one of Cal’s friends.

When disaster strikes the settlement, the timeline for humanity’s demise rapidly speeds up. While Cal knows he must send Renata on a mission she isn’t ready for, and which will likely kill her, he is torn between saving humanity’s past, present, and future, or the girl he’s come to see as a daughter.

1. Ignoring the series that shan’t be named, it’s probably “A Christmas Carol”! I love relistening to the audio book (Tim Curry’s version is my favorite) every December 👻

S&S’s A Christmas Carol book cover. It’s a beautiful illustration of a ghost silhouette with Scrooge inside holding a lantern and a walking stick and London’s skyline in the background. There’s also mistletoe, stars, chains, and a clock around it. Everything is in dark blue, warm yellow, and Christmas-y red tones.

For my wife’s birthday, I got it lost in the countryside 😂🙈 Ok no, its actual birthday was great, but I had a fun day trip idea that went completely tits up and we ended up “hiking” an open road for 2h. Still a fun adventure! What do you see here? We decided it’s a dinosaur spine.

Happy birthday to my queer, disabled poetry collection SURVIVAL & OTHER SURPRISES!! I stubbornly wrote this book from the hopeless Long Covid trenches. It kept me & my creative spark alive, and I am so happy it now makes other people feel heard ❤️ #LongCovid #transbooks #books #queer #disability

The graphic has a blue-grey background of a faded vintage floral wallpaper with crack in it. In front of it is the cover to SURVIVAL & OTHER SURPRISES (description below). It is surrounded by white font.
The one above says:
OUT NOW!
DISABLED QUEER POETRY TO RELATE TO & RAGE WITH

Around it are 6 texts with arrows pointing at the cover:
Becoming chronically ill
Surviving in a burning world with your heart intact
Queer awakenings
Learning to unlove the people who hurt us
Grief, loss, and love in spite of it all
We’re all broken and that’s okay

Below it:
Send receipt to casper.e.falls@gmail.com for a handwritten thank you note & bookmark!

The cover:

It shows a blurry, light blue hospital background with a leopard plushie in front of it which is wearing a white KN95 mask and blue scrubs. Above it in two different fonts is SURVIVAL & OTHER (then different font) SURPRISES. Below the leopard it says in thing font A COLLECTION OF POEMS BY CASPER E. FALLS.

He’s on a couch with daylight coming in from a window behind him. Fae is wearing a dark blue, long-sleeved PJ top.

The graphic has Casper making a goofy face and pointing at a book mock-up in the background. He is a white transmasc person with thick rimmed purple glasses that look blue here and dark blue eyes that look black here. He’s lying on a white pillow case with black flowers on them and is wearing a gray PJ shirt. The photo is taken from above because he is too fucking tired to sit up. The mock-up shows the cover of his debut poetry collection. It looks like this:

The cover shows a blurry, light blue hospital background with a leopard plushie in front of it which is wearing a white KN95 mask and blue scrubs. Above it in two different fonts is SURVIVAL & OTHER (then different font) SURPRISES. Below the leopard it says in thing font A COLLECTION OF POEMS BY CASPER E. FALLS.

To the left of the cover is black text in front of a pastel blue background. It says „That awkward moment when you have a poetry collection about chronic illness coming out in a month and chronic illness prevents you from marketing it.“

COMING FEBRUARY 28th 2025

Underneath the text are three large blue classical angel illustrations with their heads lifted and gazes directed toward the ebook/tablet graphic on the left. One hand is on each chest, the other gently reaching toward the ebook. They wear long classical dresses.

The tablet on the left is black. The screen shows the temporary Reverent cover with a small white sticker that says “FINAL COVER TO BE REVEALED” with the initials QLE in the middle. The cover has a turquoise background with another classical angel in black illustration in the middle. The angel is holding a blank banner and a quill, sits on a tree branch with leaves, and wears a translucent tunic that is draped over one breast, their torso, and one leg. Above the angel in white font it says:

REVERENT
AN ANTHOLOGY OF DIVINITY

Below it says:

Love that prompt 😄 Here are a few unhinged ao3 for my upcoming short story about snarky God lovingly calling out a disabled enby until they start valuing themself. It’s part of a wonderful anthology, edited by @itsquinnli.bsky.social ❤️ ARCs are going out soon 👀 Application is in my bio! #BookSky

The image shows the mock cover of the short story POSTS FROM GOD with ao3 tags around it. The cover has a red-gray background of a rainy street near Times Square. In front of it is the black silhouette of a person with sketched gray wings attached. The title is written in a painting strokes white font. Beneath it, it says „FT. IN REVERENT: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DIVINITY“.
On the right lower corner, next to the cover, is white text that says „ARCS for Reverent: An Anthology of Divinity are going out soon! Check my bio link for more :)“
There are 7 ao3 tags screenshots around the cover. They say the following:
- Catholicism as written by a heathen
- I will therapize the reader via this fanfic
- in my opinion I’m tiptoeing on the fine line between hilarity and heartbreak
- Purposeful miscommunication (aka: lying through your fucking teeth)
- repressed emotions in a trench coat
- Self insert, not myself but probably someones self, if youre unlucky enough to be the self here im so sorry
- despite all this, an underlying theme of hope

Be wiser than me. Get yourself an ARC of Artifice & Access: A Disability in Fantasy Anthology, so you don't end up screaming at the wall! We’re here. We’re disabled (& probably queer 😜). Stop trying to save us by erasing us.

A trope map for “Artifice & Access: An Anthology of Disability in Fantasy”.
The muted light green marble background has the cover in front of it as well as white arrows and tropes in white font. The cover is a lovely teal with various illustrations from the stories on it. We see a giant snake with a person on top, mushrooms, a person in a wheelchair, and another person to their right with a prosthetic leg. There are subs and swords and mushrooms as well. The title is above the illustration in an old timet silver font and there's a very light turquoise, mostly white frame around it.
The tropes say the following.
“Disability rep on every page”
“Fairytales”
“Cozy fantasy”
“Happily ever after”
“Found family”
“Magical powers”

“I meant to bring you flowers but when I reached your door, all I had in my hands was teeth. Sorry.” What a fantastic poetry collection by Saeed Jones!! The year’s almost done but the TBR still has some kick to it 👀👏🏻 I highlighted so many lines. Highly recommend! #BookSky #PoetrySky #poetry

A white hand holding a poetry collection. The cover shows a silver fancy car in a forest-y meadow with someone in an orange outfit wearing an astronaut helmet polishing the back. The pink title font is graphically stretched out. It reads:

SURVIVAL & OTHER SURPRISES is a queer, disabled poetry collection full of heartbreak, rage, and hope. We used a masked plushie bc having Long Covid & being trans is often dehumanized. Check my link for ARCs!Shares are appreciated❤️ #Queer #Transmasc #Disabled #LongCovid #MECFS #TransBooks #BookSky

The cover reveal graphic has a blue-gray cement background with a crack running through the middle. In the foreground is a bunch of white text around the poetry collection cover, which is framed in a tablet.

The cover shows a blurry, light blue hospital background with a leopard plushie in front of it which is wearing a white KN95 mask and blue scrubs. Above it in two different fonts is SURVIVAL & OTHER (then different font) SURPRISES. Below the leopard it says in thing font A COLLECTION OF POEMS BY CASPER E. FALLS.

Above the cover in all caps, it says COVER REVEAL with a fancy line beneath it. Below the cover, also in all caps, it says JOIN THE ARC TEAM & ADD IT TO YOUR STORYGRAPH/GOODREADS TBR NOW!

On the left side of the cover, a sketched arrow points the following text toward it: A poetic farewell to gaslighting, ableism, and pretending to be a cis woman.

On the right side, there’s another sketched arrow pointing this text: A poetic hello to chronic illness and believing in your own voice again.

🎉 COVER REVEAL 🎉 Who’s tired of no or bad disability rep?! If that’s you, check out “Artifice & Access: A Disability in Fantasy Anthology”, coming out Jan 25! Add it to your TBR in my bio link & find out more tinyurl.com/3xfbbhjb #Disabled #LongCovid #CripPunk #DiverseBooks #BookSky #Disability

The graphic has a white background with two mock-up books on it, as well as an old-school scroll half frame with text on it. The book has a teal cover with a medieval looking silver font that says “Artifice & Access”. On the teal cover we see different disabled fantasy heroes, like someone in a wheelchair, someone wielding a sword, and a fantasy-vibes background that is hard to fully see from this far. On the bottom is a red rose.
On the scroll, the same medieval font reads in black “Artifice & Access”. Next to it, in a red, normal cursive font: “Out January 25th”

When T gives you insomnia and “more energy”, but you have ME/CFS (aka chronic fatigue), so instead of bouncing around, you start the day at 6am like this 😅🙈 #transmasc How long does the insomnia last? 😬

A goofy, exhausted looking owl. It’s the kind with the beige and black checkered feathers and the big eyebrows + yellow beak. Sorry I am not an owl expert and too tired to figure out how they're called. The blue eyes are half open.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn‘t a selfie.

A still of the helluva boss character Stolas with a tumble quote in white above it. Stolas is a Goetia, which is a greyish owl demon with a white face, wearing a half-falling down red bathrobe and having a hand to his face in an unhappy expression. The background is purple drapes with star constellations. The tumblr quote is by “foggy-ghosts” with a blue Follow text next to it and the quote says: he has the looks of a depressed English professor and the soul of a whore.
