📕 Next up in my #SciFiSeptember is “Semiosis” by @sueburke.bsky.social, a re-read for me after loving it back in 2020. This is 1st of a trilogy I hope to tackle in successive months after recently discovering “Usurpation” was out in paperback 🤗 📚🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #HammockTime 😎

🙋‍♂️ Ahoy there, BBB! I have just started Sue Burke’s “Semiosis”, so that will probably take most of the week for me. It’s a re-read, so I’m delighted to get back to it 🤗 I also have Samantha Sotto Yambao’s “Water Moon” left on my September TBR. This was picked for me and isn’t my usual. 🪐📚💙

Love it when people talk about books they're reading or love & include a pic of them holding (even hugging) a print copy of the title(s). 📚💙 🪐📚 (These were 'my' editions of Earthsea. Lost track of them in a move, but have all the stories now in this gorgeous edition. Citation in alt-text.)

Hardcover edition of The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition by Ursula K. Le Guin. Illustrated by Charles Vess. (Saga Press, 2018).

Cover art is illustration by Vess showing several massive dragons in flight over ocean waves. A small figure (Ged) steers his small sailboat on the water.

Behind my copy of the book are two world globes. One is of our earth. The other is a handcrafted globe of the planet Anarres, inspired by Le Guin's SF novel The Dispossesed.

Jennifer Fallon's Wolfblade trilogy is superb. 10/10. No notes! Great cast of characters, a plot built brick built brick, the long game with great pay off, some surprises, some tragedies, lots of triumph and even some excellent humor. #booksky 🪐📚

Covers of the book trilogy, first book features a woman in front of a castle in a purple cloak, second features a young man in warrior garb looking out a castle window, third book feature blond young man in warrior garb with a sword

I loved this trilogy. Jennifer Fallon’s other series are awesome too. I loved them so much that I wanted to write captivating fiction too. She also has some short non-fiction books for writers. JF is completely unsung & it’s a shame!!!!! She’s a truly fantastic author.
