Starting my day off with @thebugle.bsky.social and new Realms Unknown with @alicefraser.bsky.social and James Colley. I enjoyed Hyperion way back when, one of the first Dan Simmons books I read with it's three sequels going in increasingly different directions. Listen to Realms Unknown! #booksky

I have never cared for the scifi or fantasy genres, but I listen every week and it's so good! I can't guarantee I'll ever read any of the recommended books, but I am thoroughly entertained and I love the insight. Can't stop thinking about all the tropes on ropes I have beef with

I just finished listening to the debut episode of Realms Unknown, the new fantasy & sci-fi podcast from @alicefraser.bsky.social and the Bugle team. It's structured like their @thegargle.bsky.social but with a nerdy bent. Engaging and entertaining, it's worth listening to.

Realms Unknown, the latest Team Bugle podcast, is excellent. Relaxed and fun and a world away from toxic sci fi fandoms. @alicefraser.bsky.social and Tom Neenan are knowledgable and convivial hosts. Very much worth a listen.

Book Cover Reveal! This outrageous thing exists in the world and is ready to launch 5 Feb! For people who love romance, and people who have no idea why people love romance. @unbounders.bsky.social @zaltzcricket.bsky.social @thegargle.bsky.social @thebugle.bsky.social bit.ly/PassionForBook
The inner flap of a book beginning “if you need a ‘real’ reason to read this book, let it be as a serious argument for the legitimacy of silly joy”The cover of a red book. The title in gold is A Passion For Passion. On it, a lady in an even redder dress sits astride a giant book. A man with his face covered by her hair holds her waist from behind. Pages seem to be slipping from the book. The back cover of a book with a quote from
Deborah Frances White saying “A predictably brilliant and joyful satirical page turner from the ever-clever Alice Fraser”
