I got an arc through the very unofficial means of "my book club buddy talked to Iz at Worldcon and mentioned I was getting married, so she sent a signed wedding present copy through him." 10/10 surprise gift the night before the ceremony

everyone needs to preorder this for the very important reason of me getting to read the sequel (other people can have it too I guess)

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this, and can confirm, this is worth preordering! - v cool and weird - Themes - sex is good, but want to get back-to-back smacked with a meme and then uppercut with a comedy bit suddenly having deep emotional significance? - obviously you do - great cat names

Red Laura (Nineteen Adze) @nineteenadze.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

And there's an AMA tomorrow on r/Fantasy, for which I'm trying to pick a set of a few normal-ish questions among options like "is Dr. Crouton based on a real cat? Are there pictures?" and "love that everyone takes a turn being Odysseus (this is more of a statement than a question)"

Red Laura (Nineteen Adze) @nineteenadze.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Sublimation by Isabel J. Kim comes out tomorrow and you should read it! It contains: - heavy use of the second person (second person best person) - really good interstitial folklore text - themes - very short chapters (this is *such* a fast read if you don't deliberately slow down) - the plot

after surgery I was told to NOT post on social media right away because "you'll have no filter," but I'm off the good drugs and I stand by my key design flaw the book cannot both be ground into a fine powder to be snorted for higher absorption and still leave me with a shiny reading copy. rude!

Red Laura (Nineteen Adze) @nineteenadze.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Sublimation looks amazing with the metallic foil cover, just gorgeous. And that stamping on the book? The endpapers??? The art department did amazing work on this one

Sublimation by Isabel J. Kim standing up in a sunny window

under the dust jack of Sublimation: black background with the title repeated in bright red foil over a line of figures walking toward and away from each other

Endpapers of Sublimation. Gradient color gold-orange to pink in the background, foreground of solid and shadowed figures walking toward and away from each other in sort of a shadow/rippled way. Each figure has a pale shadow/reflection under it.

me coming back from surgery: man this sucks, terrible day me checking the mail: never mind, best day of the week

sealed Tordotcom book package next to some houseplants that definitely don't need repotting. none of them are twigs scavenged from the park.

for more thoughts like this, preorder sublimation, out 6/2 wherever books are sold. publishers weekly called it "a sharp, deeply felt first outing from a writer already at the top of her game" in a starred review.

hypothetically you could refresh the page at any time (and in theory the mobile UI is a torment requiring other updates on a real keyboard at another time)

Red Laura (Nineteen Adze) @nineteenadze.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

your fan club wants to know what phrasing you hypothetically want-- tack on "winner of the Nebula and Locus awards for short fiction," or something else? (Will involve light rewrites of the next sentence probably)

I'm biased here because Jay helped me start the Short Fiction Book Club project, but the sheer breadth of his reviews has helped us find so many cool stories to share. Check out some of these samples in the thread-- he's a great Best Fan Writer pick.

this is true for so much of SFBC, honestly (anyone who tried one of your stories and didn't love it *immediately* got a follow-up recommendation from Jay until we hit taste matches)

MAGA influencers like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk pretend Taylor Swift is turning into a tradwife, to manipulate their incel audiences. In reality, her engagement to Travis Kelce reflects feminist values — and could even be called a feminist fantasy. www.salon.com/2025/08/28/t...

Taylor Swift is not the tradwife you're looking for

MAGA influencers can't be normal about anything

Fantastic session. The conversation about the structure of Mexican Gothic was great (and I just wanted to say that for me, the slow simmering tension of the 70% leaping into the wild last 30% makes both sections shine). Can't wait to start The Bewitching!
