I was a freshman in college at UF during the Delta Chi case and the way people were more interested in trying to find a recording of the assault than anything else

When you go into a writer's mentions to tell them all about how terrible they are for having written a book, you are only showing your own inability to imagine that anyone else in the world exists.

I am updating my comp-finder databases with 2026 titles. This means I get to see a ton of beautiful book covers and descriptions, so I figure I'd share some of my findings. These are my top five favourite covers from January's trad-published books! #Fantasy #Reading #2026Books

My favorite part of your quirky edgy girl schtick was definitely you doubling down on calling people pathetic after trying to dunk on a cancer survivor. Let us all know how that ableism tastes when you discover what it feels like to need to celebrate small wins. Dickhead.

My daughter’s book, A Dead Thing Like Me, launched on Tuesday. Thanks to all who pre-ordered the book, and in case you didn’t but still need a quirky, poignant paranormal ghost story, here’s a link to order: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/814217... #HumansOfBlueSky #booksky #BlueBrewBooks #ECK
E.G. Young (seated left), author of A (Dead) Thing Like Me, is interviewed by fellow author Maria Ingrande Mora at Tombolo Books in St Petersburg, FL. 

Kirkus Star Review for A (DEAD) THING LIKE ME by
E.G. YOUNG: "A gorgeously creative debut, weaving life, grief, and the spirit of friendship into a tour-de-force."
Released 8/18/2026

Book description:
A teenage ghost in love with life becomes bound to the house of the grieving artist who summoned her via Ouija board in this darkly funny YA paranormal.

One hot dog with banana peppers. That’s all Hot Dog wants. An invisible teenage ghost, she haunts a food cart outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Until one night, she’s accidentally summoned via Ouija board to a house party in Florida . . . where finally finally finally, people can see her.

All the party guests scatter, except for Logan: the cool artist girl who doesn’t just see Hot Dog, she actually wants to talk to her. Logan, who isn’t scared of Hot Dog’s stitched mouth or chattering dress. Logan, who’s grieving her own dead BFF—and called Hot Dog by mistake.

Hot Dog wants to prove it’s not a mistake. 

She can be Logan’s new best friend. She can go to Logan’s Halloween party. She can eat snacks, have sleepovers, and hang out. She can definitely smile without scaring people. Exactly like a real, human girl. 

There’s one problem: Hog Dog’s not a real, living human girl, and something in Logan’s sprawling house knows it. It scratches like rats in the walls. It opens a secret door in Logan’s attic. It wants to drag Hot Dog into the nothingness where dead things go. And unless Hot Dog can confront the dark truth of how she died, it will unmake Logan too. 

Gorgeously strange and stunningly written, this YA paranormal masterfully melds camp and creep into a beyond-the-grave coming-of-age.

Let’s be honest. There was nothing quiet about this. The FLDOE made it quite public, and reporting followed the pressure placed on publishers to acquiesce. Collectively, we keep accepting their actions without holding them to account. hechingerreport.org/how-florida-...

Whew! If you’re looking for a heavy-hitting world full of emotionally compelling characters, you’ve got to read A Wild Radiance. There’s a little bit of something for everyone, and the marketing for this book has been on point (IE, promising Arcane vibes and Sunshine/Grump/Gremlin Dynamics, the works).

If you’re into rebellious magic, forbidden feelings & dismantling broken systems, you need A Wild Radiance. Think dystopian fantasy meets high-stakes magic with a side of delicious romantic tension. #books #read #bookteview

It's our first book birthday celebration of 2026! Today we’re saying happy publication day to “A Wild Radiance” a new YA fantasy dystopian novel by Maria Ingrande Mora (@mariawrites.bsky.social). One of our stellar teen reviewers, Aqsa, had the chance to read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) 🧵 #BookSky
Book A Wild Radiance by Maria Ingrande Mora displayed with party decor and a sign reading “It’s a book birthday!”Aqsa's review reads: “[This book is unique because of] its take on the role of magic in the world as something harmful in ways, rather than always good... The story begins with [the main character’s] ‘brainwashed’ perspective as their only information on the fantasy world, allowing readers to slowly understand more about their world with her. A final thing is how the main character isn’t scared to take revenge.”
