There is a part of me that is desperately hoping that books I want are not on Black Friday sales because I just got my shelves reorganized and as I book dragon, my restraint for buying new books is…not great 😅

Book dragon logic: I need to stop buying books so I can save up to go on a book buying spree!

Threads has finished their pilot for ads and is starting to roll them out more broadly 🙄 So, if you suddenly see another wave of newcomers, that would be why.

Me: I will just listen to this audiobook for an hour to wind down before going to sleep. Also me: *4 hours later at 3am when my headphones died* …oops.

Not even book mail and reading managed to give me a small burst of dopamine, which is just sacrilegious.

I keep trying to find my way back to my playful bookish and coffee posting, but I cannot seem to find the energy, creativity, or will to do much of anything outside of screaming into the void.

Thread’s algorithm hates me because I care about absolutely heinous things like basic human rights for everyone. I know, wild stuff. Anyway, I will probably be posting here more because I refuse to stop being a book dragon who is quite passionate about DEI and the rights of my LGBTQ+ community.

I've seen a few comments where people didn't realise I'd completed The Cruel Gods series, probably because I wasn't on Twitter when I released the third and final one 😂 But here they are! The complete trilogy! You can even buy them! Yes! Please do, my rent is going up 🤣 mybook.to/TheCruelGods

A promotional image for The Cruel Gods trilogy of books featuring all three books on the cover. These are The Thirteenth Hour, The Children of Chaos, and The End of Time by Trudie Skies. The promo image says The Cruel Gods trilogy now complete. Fantasy of bad manners, tea, top hats, and naughty words.

I love how so many of us from Threads (including myself) just entirely forget to use hashtags most of the time 😂 The way that different platforms train our behavior is wild.

A BONE IN HIS TEETH was in r/mm_romancebooks' top 100 books mentioned in the sub for 2024 (pictured very bottom right) and that's REALLY COOL??? 😭😭😭

a grid of 100 mm romance book covers, titled "mm romance books; sub favorites 2024" and subtitled "most beckoned MM romances from the romance(.)io bot in the r/mm_romancebooks subreddit in 2024; data pulled by bot creator u/silkie_romanceio"

trope map for A BONE IN HIS TEETH imposed over a classically painted ocean storm scene, with the book cover in the center, text reading: “trans m/m dark fantasy romance w/ horror elements
seaside horrors
losing your virginity on a rocky shore
finding safety with someone you should hate
running from old family debts
fishing town with long-kept secrets
touch him and die
standalone
becoming a siren's favorite plaything”

That awkward moment when you can’t remember the details of your TTRPG character because December was too busy to get everyone together for a game 🙃 Will this encourage me to write more stuff down? No, that would make too much sense. Can’t have that.

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

For years, I’ve been trying to write a stand-alone but have failed miserably. Everything has turned into a series but I’ve done it! In order to do this though I had to write - wait for it - a novella. The series writer had written a horror-romance novella!! Cover mock-up below #BookSky #skywriters

Are there any authors in the LA area who had to evacuate who would like people to buy copies of their books? I saw similar lists circulating for Florida authors during the hurricane and I know it's probably not much in the grand scheme of things but it's a tiny way that people can easily help out
