I don't know about you but I think this cover of Mexican Gothic by @silviamg.bsky.social is absolutely STUNNING. Do I need another copy? 🫣

Lord of Mysteries: The Clown by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving @yenpress.com For what I've seen, the edition looks stunning and the translation seems fairly good. If you're watching the adaptation and love it but are very confused get the novel ♥️♥️

Continuamos con Edward Carey, y estos dos señores guapísimos que repiten panel. Es el primer Celsius de Edward, escritor e ilustrador de libros muy peculiares que definitivamente merecen la pena. #celsius2025

I cannot believe I am going to say this but in the evil website of doom, UK version, there are quite a few of Octavia Butler's books for 99p. As a daily deal, if you know what I mean 🤔 Just go and get them all. ➡️ www.amazon.co.uk/b/?_encoding...

Hunchback by Saou Ichikawa trans. Polly Barton A very interesting, bold and sometimes outrageous book. Hunchback is an extraordinary, thrilling glimpse into the desire and darkness of a woman placed at humanity’s edge. A worthy read if only, to know her point of view. @penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social

Esta mañana he cogido el tren en Madrid, coincidiendo con la gente que va a trabajar y me ha sorprendido mucho el contraste con UK en que NADIE llevaba una bebida. Lo raro a esas horas es que nadie lleve un café, te o bebida energética.

I went to see Nickel Boys yesterday and fucking hell. I am not a fan of the first person camera view, because I end up mostly dizzy, but the movie itself was absolutely fantastic. Painfull, enraging and unfair but fantastic.

Se que hay mucha gente que prefiere tener un ictus antes de reconocer que quién más y mejor describió lo que está pasando ahora mismo en EEUU fue una mujer negra y feminista, pero es que solo hay que leerla para darse cuente de que otros autores ni se acercaron a lo que ella sí supo ver.

Praying for my fellow booksellers in the US/UK and other places where Onyx Storm is out today. If you're not a bookseller, friendly reminder, BE NICE TO THEM, is not their fault you didn't get to preorder the super duper special edition. And no, we don't have any in the back. Yes, we have looked.

Happy publication day to the fantastic 🪷Immortal 🪷 by Sue Lynn Tan one of my favourite reads of 2024. Immortal can be read as a standalone even though it takes place in the same world as her other books and is the perfect mixture of xianxia and romance. Full review in GR @harpercollins.bsky.social

I have survived yet another Christmas period in retail, bookselling, and I have celebrated it with a big ass nap in the couch. More naps tomorrow, maybe interrupted by Die Hard and Wind and Truth. But mainly naps and chill. Happy holidays!!
