I wonder if Enid Blyton thought of Dickon from The Secret Garden when she came up with Wilfred in Famous Five book 21?

Hey all! Today, The Wandering Inn (@thewanderinginn.bsky.social) celebrates its physical release, and I'm making a thread of the fanart I've done over the years, to gush about why I made these pieces, and hopefully, along the way, convince you to read it. Yes, YOU.

Colorful portrait of the main character, Erin Solstice, a young woman with chestnut-colored hair. Vividly colored fire swirls around her head.

Bob's working a double. So I'm spending the night pairing my different Bluetooth earbuds to the computer and seeing which I like best. I feel like I'm cheating on my books with music. LOL.

Two times today I've left my phone over on the couch. I accidentally left it on the status bar. So every minute I'm hearing the time. At least the silly thing is on the charger. But you'd figure i'd learn from the first time and not do it a second.

But on a happy note. I did learn that there's going to be a book 7 in the Fate of the Furycks series by A.E. Rayne. I'm anxiously waiting for book 6 to come out in Audio. Because book 5 ended on such a cliffhanger.

Gina @ginaxtfm.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

I've not checked in here in a bit. But life happened. My father passed away at the end of March. So it's a new beginning of sorts. Friends and books are helping get me through. Music is hard to listen to at the moment. But I know I'll get back to enjoying that soon.

Thinking about the exclusive short stories we wrote for Ace Books the First Step print editions, it was a balance finding not only who and what to write about, but in giving real value. Writing the short story about a secondary character allowed me to flesh out the world more. The question was who?

Had cheesy scrambled eggs, ham steaks and chocolate chip pancakes for brunch today. Not sure what we're having for dinner. But that decision will be made later. It's show day. so I'm going to get ready for and present that. It might be a mixed bag.

Climbed into the shop window for a photo when I saw we have a copy of the special edition of Samantha Sotto Yambao's new cozy fantasy novel The Elsewhere Express on display in there! Raya finds herself on a quest on an enchanted train, with magic & a mysterious stowaway. 💙📚🪐 #NewBooks

I just freaked out for the past 45 minutes. I saw there was a firmware update for the Orbit Reader 20 Plus. I bricked it because I put the wrong file on. What did I learn? The people on the Orbit list are nice. It's way more convenient to read numbers on the computer. So I'll be updating that way.

Y'all. Y'ALL. I just finished the Netgalley arc of this and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's set in the Imperial Radch universe but it's a standalone so if you haven't read the Ancillary series (why not?) you can still enjoy this one. And you will! (if you like deeply human stories set in space. Or frozen planetoids.)

cover of the book Radiant Star by Ann Leckie, gradient blue with a stylized star and planet on, with a blurb by John Scalzi that reads "There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." and it is 100% TRUE
