Where it started and where it ends. Not only the conclusion of the Talisman trilogy, but the final Dark Tower book. I didn't make it through my reread of the first 2 books but that's not going to stop me from stepping into this IMMEDIATELY. #stephenking #peterstraub #talisman #darktower

Well, if it's another weekend, then it must be time to get blissfully lost between the pages... and how better to do that than with some Weekend Freebies! A huge haul this week, including plenty of #locktober 🔒and #halloween 🎃reads! #freebies #freebooks #eroticomance

Not the best quality, but we got close enough to take some pics of the Reacher Season 5 set, just down the canal from home... and heard 4 takes of a gun battle. 😮 #reacher #jackreacher #HollywoodNorth

I finished three books (including A Many-Splintered Thing with Mercedes Lackey) and DNF'd a third last week. I currently have two reads I'm jumping between on my Kindle, and my bedside reading pile is growing. What are you reading? #amreading #currentlyreadi̇ng #readingfantasy #fantasy #romantasy

With spooky season upon us, I’ve taken the opportunity to give DREAD, DESIRE, AND DAMAGE DREAMS an editorial polish. It’s still the same extreme horror story that reviewers have called gripping, graphic, and thought-provoking... just better. 😈 sbmilne.ca/2026/09/19/d...

S.B. Milne @sbmilneca.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

With spooky season officially upon us, I’ve taken the opportunity to give BITCH IN THE BOX an editorial polish. It’s still the same extreme horror story that reviewers have called gaggingly relentless, chilling, and awesome... just better. 😈 sbmilne.ca/2026/09/14/u...

Porch reading on a lazy Sunday with FAEBOUND by Saara El-Arifi. Exquisite #fantasy with elves, fae, magic, and sapphic romance.

Thanks to the good people at @orbitbooks.bsky.social, I landed an ARC of The Shadow Queen by @markalatham.bsky.social (coming December 1st). Curious where it all began? Check out my review of The Last Vigilant. #epicfantasy #highfantasy bibrary.blogspot.com/2025/04/beli...

Reading on a hike is still my happy time, but reading while floating in a kayak is a close second. 📚🛶😊 Midnight Blue-Light Special by @seananmcguire.bsky.social is so much fun. #reading #urbanfantasy #InCryptid

I can finally cross it off my bucket list - I've been to Oak Island. 😁 Great tour and a great adventure. A fantastic way to end our Maritime vacation. #oakisland #curseofoakisland #treasure #history

S.B. Milne @sbmilneca.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

A Maritime vacation does a number on your senses. The sun is 80 degrees, the wind about 70, and the water 50. Get your feet wet on a windy beach like we did yesterday and it's like 3 seasons being layered over you in one spot. 😛

Well, we've made it through Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick to Quebec. This is the view from our vacation house overlooking Chaleur Bay. #vacation #eastcoast #waterfront

A cute cinnamon roll protagonist (he's a male witch) and a gorgeous curvy succubus in a sweet-to-spicy paranormal romance. The story is as clever and surprising as it is beautiful. 🥰 @emilyantoinette.bsky.social has immediately taken a spot on my must- read list. #PNR #romance #FLR #succubus

Oooh, look what arrived just time for vacation - my first Ruby Roe sapphic dark romantasy! Can't wait to curl up on the plane, shut out this world, and get lost in hers. 🖤 #sapphic #wlw #romantasy

S.B. Milne @sbmilneca.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

So, I started WHAT FURY BRINGS by Tricia Levenseller last night, and I usually remove the dust jacket to keep it from getting worn or torn... but looks at what's underneath! 🥰 #romantasy #FLR #matriarchy

An exciting review copy in the mail from @titanbooks.bsky.social - WE ARE ALWAYS TENDER WITH OUR DEAD by @ericlarocca.com Pitched as blending the body #horror of Mariana Enriquez with the dark power of Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show, this definitely caught my attention.

Oooh, look what preorder snuck into the mailbox a week early. 😁 It's WAR WIZARD, the new #Dragonlance prequel novel by Weis & Hickman.

My #Pride read is a reread of one of my favorites - Raptor by Gary Jennings. Set in the 5th century, the #historicalfantasy explores the fall of the Roman Empire through the journey of an #intersex Goth named Thorn who fluidly embraces their masculine and feminine traits.

I went shopping last night and, as luck would have it, our local Coles only had 1 book on the list... so we'll see how well AI judged my interest.

010

S.B. Milne @sbmilneca.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

While I'd never trust AI to create, what it can do (and do very well) is collate, compare, and filter data to make evaluations. And so I decided to prompt 6 AI tools to see what I should read next... #epicfantasy #highfantasy #horror #thriller #AI bibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/aski...

S.B. Milne @sbmilneca.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Look how gorgeous this book is! Sprayed edges, interior cover art, and the dustjacket is reversible! Don't get me wrong, the story sounds fantastic too, but being good looking certainly helps. ❤️📚🐉🧙‍♀️ #romantasy #bloodbound #EllisHunter

How cool is this? Left 2 of my finished books at the coffee shop and took a Spanish edition Dragonlance novel home as a souvenir. 📚 #usedbooks #Dragonlance #fantasy #vacationreads

Day 4 of vacation in the books... book 3 of vacation finished. This is the epic quest fantasy I've been looking for, the nostalgic escape into the kind of fantasy that carried me through high school. Why, oh why, didn't I bring the sequel? #epicfantasy #shannara #vacationreads

020

S.B. Milne @sbmilneca.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Day 2 of vacation in the books... book 2 of vacation finished. This started out great, smart and creative... remained fun even through the gun porn... but kind of took a weird philosophical turn and got very dry. Picked up a bit at the end, but definitely a soft climax.

Day 1 of vacation in the books... book 1 of vacation finished. I thoroughly enjoyed this. A solid 4.5 star read that deftly toyed with (but refused to give in to) two tired tropes. Great characters, a solid plot, fun action, and the perfect emotional balance.

As much as I'm enjoying EMPIRE OF GRASS (and hoping Morgan stays sober long enough to stop whining), Goddess and I are leaving for vacation Wednesday and I want some books I can start on the beach and finish at the pool, not one to last the week, so I went used bookstore shopping.

Stack of used mass market paperback fantasy novels.

Universal's Epic Universe was in every sense of the word, epic. It was like walking into a video game or a movie - fully visually immersive.
