Was determined to finish this today after finishing my writing goal for the month. This books reeks of 2014 but a very good laugh. Manages not to avoid just being shock value and doesn't take itself seriously at all #reading #amreading #booksky 💙📚

The Human Santapede by Adam Millard. The cover features a naked Santa with Mrs Claus, an elf, Rudolph, and more elves stitched together arse to face. Naughty bits are censored with Christmas tree emoji.

A nice quick dip back into Tyrant Philosophers to tide me over until the next one releases. I didn't expect to get to know Angilly a bit more but I'm glad we got the chance #reading #amreading #booksky 💙📚 #fantasy #fantasyreaders

Lives of Bitter Rain by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Most of the cover is filled with a turquoise sea with ships and a sea serpent. Above are mountains, in the centre of which is a woman with dark hair with her back turned and sword pointed to the sky.

I've blinked and somehow fallen a few volumes behind! I'll need to grab the rest and catch up! And yes I have read two in one day. What of it? #reading #amreading #booksky 💙📚 #manga

I remember when I saw the first volume of this at Worldcon two years ago I was immediately grabbed by the premise. And boy, this series has not disappointed. I'm a little sad it's over, but at least Barker has written plenty else to be read #reading #amreading #booksky 💙 📚 #fantasy #fantasyreaders

The Bone Ship's Wake by RJ Barker. The cover is yellowed and features a yellow serpentine sea dragon.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them

I don't read a lot of cozy fantasy but maybe I should change that? I've been loving reading about Viv discovering a life outside of monster slaying Also this series has such nice covers and look amazing next to each other! #reading #amreading #booksky 💙📚 #fantasy #fantasyreaders #cozyfantasy

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

A nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

My quickest read in a while. Three days totalling maybe three hours of reading time. Read at the behest of a friend who's been obsessed with the audiobooks. Pretty good start to the series, I'll have to dig the rest out of my parents' garage. #reading #amreading #booksky 💙📚 #fantasyreaders

In the end I chose duck legs. If I'm honest I'd been drinking at the time and thought they'd be funny. I was right of course, but I hadn't expected to enjoy taking my house on the water quite so much. Days spent in a chair on the porch watching real ducks go by. I never knew what I'd been missing

It's taken nearly two years, but I have finally heard all the stories in the dark. Nice chap, that Robert Shearman. He actually followed me on the bird app before it became a Nazi bar. I can only call reading this a venture of masochism. God knows what writing it was like... #reading #amreading 📚💙

We all hear stories in the dark by Robert Shearman. Three volumes featuring a skeleton playing the violin, a barber shaving somebody with two men in coats watching, and a kid with a pumpkin head standing next to another kid in bed with a picture of Jesus on his wall. They are all pencil drawings.

Throughout a career in publishing, the commonest problem I’ve found in authors trying to break into the business is their fear of taking themselves seriously. If that’s you, try this. (Little thread follows.) 1. Remove “aspiring” or “would-be writer” from your bio. Replace it with “writer.”
