Maybe it's the sun, maybe it's the repeating of that one Noah Kahan song, maybe it's the fact I just finished Acceptance by Jeff Vandermeer and have been crying since it stopped I don't know but right now I am loving that "beautiful awful brightness of the world" (to quote Jeff himself)

When Milo gets dumped minutes before a couples pottery class, he does the only logical thing: shows up alone. Unfortunately for Briar, the overworked studio owner who swore off dating, their chemistry is hotter than a kiln. #questpit #q #a #r #agentguide

Dark, moody graphic featuring hands shaping clay on a pottery wheel. White text reads: “An Agent’s Guide to Glazed & Confused, a 78,000-word adult rom-com.” At the bottom: “sometimes love is messy.”

Dark pottery wheel background with white text titled “The Pitch: fresh from the kiln.” Text overlays the image with the following pitch:

When Milo Hawthorne gets dumped via text—mere minutes before a couples pottery class—he does the only logical thing: shows up solo. But with his heart in shards and Valentine’s Day looming, every glittery red heart and smug little cupid is a reminder of everything he doesn’t have.

Briar Maxton is the overworked owner of the pottery studio cheekily named “The Local Bakery.” She’s poured everything into her business, and dating is the last thing on her to-do list. But since Milo paid for two spots in class and only brought one broken heart, Briar offers a set of private bonus lessons to offset the cost.

When Milo unexpectedly becomes the roommate of Briar’s cantankerous Papaw Melvin, their worlds collide outside the studio too. Milo shows Briar there’s life beyond work, while Briar reminds Milo he’s worth more than the relationship he lost.

But as Briar’s business grows faster than she can manage, her inability to step back threatens the studio she sacrificed everything to build. And when that same studio becomes an ever-growing third wheel, they may lose their chance at something real.

Dark pottery wheel background titled “The Comps: dipped in glaze.” Displays book covers for Passion Project, Practice Makes Perfect, and Hello Stranger, with descriptors beneath each. Lower section references Jessica Day and Nick Miller’s first kiss with an image of a kissing couple.

Dark pottery wheel background titled “The Tropes: what’s on the wheel.” White floral pottery illustration surrounds a list including emotional healing, forced proximity, he falls first, found family, grumpy grandpa, cinnamon roll MMC, work-obsessed FMC, opposites attract, Midwest setting, and pottery studio.

ONE PIECE IN SPACE A runaway with illegal powers must join a crew of space pirates to save the man whose magic might change the world, or destroy it. But she has three problems with that: she finds him intoxicating, his partner’s infuriating, and she hates pirates. #questpit #Q #A #F #RF #SFF

A card with a starry background with the title Pirates and Planets. The subtitle says Opening Lines. Below is a paragraph. It says:
The hatch was open.
In trembling hands, magic split the first delicate crack in Arnawan’s centuries-long isolation. The first true wormhole bloomed into existence.
Tuvat had dreamed of this beautiful rainbow bridge all their life. Now, staring down the barrel of change, it looked like the open jaws of a half-finished hope.

A card that says Pirates and Planets - Comps across the top. Below, there are two columns with covers of books. The first says By Me. Listed left to right, the comps listed are The Murderbot Diaries, One Piece; Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die; The Dispossessed, The Adventure Zone Balance (a podcast, not a book), and Six of Crows.
The second column says By Readers. From left to right, they are Arcane (the Netflix animated show), These Burning Stars, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Gideon the Ninth.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

✨ THE CRAFT x ONE DARK WINDOW ✨ When Lola’s deadly shadows escape, killing her best friend, she must seek control at an elite magical academy before they kill again—or lose her humanity. Perfect for agents who like: 🏳️‍🌈 Sapphic BIPOC witches 🖤 Body horror 💫 Fantasy/Horror/Mystery #QuestPit #Q #A #F

An image of a school with multiple towers, in black on a grey sky, with multiple crescent moons hanging above. The text reads ‘an agents guide to The Bells of Le Fay, adult dark academia fantasy, 102k words.

A silhouette of a woman reaching up to the sky with a bright light between her hands. There is a shadowed tree next to her. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous. Lola Knight expects to live a normal life, but when the deadly shadows beneath her skin escape, killing her best friend, she must attend Le Fay Academy for Higher Magics to seek control before they kill again. When she finds out the shadows are slowly turning her into a monster, she chases a cure through the ancient archives—but instead unearths a dangerous conspiracy, and must decide: keep digging to unmask the true monsters, or accept her fate and risk her humanity.

An open spell book surrounded by candles and a mirror. There are three book covers; for One Dark Window, Book of Night, and The Incandescent. The text reads: tropes and comps, witchy dark academia, monstrous magic, sapphic romance, ancient archives, body horror, unhelpful ghosts.

The silhouette of a woman with a huge dark shadow looming over her. The text reads: first lines. The shadows had teeth, and they hungered for blood. They shouldn’t exist here, amongst the weathered sandstone of Durham University. They shouldn’t exist at all, outside the confines of Lola’s mind. But the terrible scratching of claws against flagstone wasn’t a figment of her imagination, as she had first thought, strolling arm-in-arm with Sam on their way home from an end-of-exams party. She didn’t notice them straight away, her gaze sliding over the shadows cast by the faculty buildings. She didn’t notice them until they peeled away from the walls, their darkness thicker and more absolute than the others. Even then she pulled her gaze away, dismissing it. Inebriation hung over her like a thin veil, turning the glow of street lamps into a kaleidoscopic sky.

Unseasonable cherry blossoms rustle in the winter wind, carrying the prickling scent of my mother's magic into my nose. It's no freshly-mown grass, like my brother Fern's, but it's certainly activating: citrus with a splash of pepper. It's the smell that tells me to 'get a freaking move on already! So I will. Leaning against my yellow-painted picnic table, I take a deep, steadying breath, glancing around the garden in front of my house. Fat bumble bees buzz from flower to flower, redhead birds sing in discordant harmony, having returned north before the start of spring. Beneath all the noise, I feel the thrum of the garden magic swimming through my veins.
I scoop some soil into a small terracotta pot and sprinkle a few seeds on the loamy surface. Then, I shove my other hand into a basket of stinging nettle, ignoring the discomfort that creeps up my skin at the contact, and close my eyes.

Excerpt “Who are you?” she asks. “My name is Melody, I’m Lyra’s younger sister,” I say. “You two are identical.” I wish I could ask Lyra if she’s okay with Annie knowing everything. Better yet, I wish I could make her explain it. Her girlfriend, her problem. But I’m here alone, Annie is the one who saw Lyra last, and I want any information she can give me. It’s not like I could pretend I’m Lyra and ask why she ran out last night. I kind of need to tell her. I’ve never had to explain us. I don’t know where to start. It’ll be easier since she can already sense Lyra and I are different people. Somehow. But it’s still going to sound insane to a normal person. “I’m six years younger than Lyra. She died when we were kids, and I… I don’t know what I did but I saved her soul. I kept it.” I press my hand against my chest, careful to avoid the burn. “We’ve shared this body—my body—for over twenty years.”

When a teen girl is swept to an underworld ruled by her long-absent father, she must navigate strange magic, a demon friend, and a rival trying to steal her title (and possibly her heart). 💜 Sapphic romance 👑 Secret royalty 💀 Ancient rituals that just might cost your soul #QuestPit #YA #F #Q

Title page: PENELOPE GRAY'S GUIDE TO SURVIVING LOVE AND THE UNDERWORLD.

Pitch: When a teen girl is swept to an underworld ruled by her long-absent father, she must navigate strange magic, a demon friend, and a rival trying to steal her title (and possibly her heart).

Comps: covers of Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst, and Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by CB Lee.

Excerpt: If you’re reading this, then the secrecy spell Baz gave me was total malarky. (That’s my Grandma Ruth’s favorite word. And no, she absolutely does NOT know about this Underworld stuff.)
Baz, if this IS you: You are so dead. I don’t care that demons can’t die. I WILL find a way.
For any mortals reading this: STOP! Trust me, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. Do you really want your entire understanding of reality to be turned upside down? Because that’s exactly what happened to me this summer, and I do NOT recommend it. Go back to your blissfully normal, demon-free life while you can.

* Her adoptive brother gives her an ultimatum: return to the family fold and he'll leave Selene alone, or refuse and watch him slaughter everyone she's come to love.

"It was a child.
She shouldn’t have recognized it as such. The fish were a threat to society no matter their age. Creatures so vicious could hardly even be called animals, let alone people. Yet when she saw those eyes, all she could think was child. The same age she had been when her world nearly ended. The petrified whimper that drifted over the waves sounded the same as hers. In that moment, time stopped, and the difference that stood out to her wasn’t the sleek silver tail, but this: when Cordelia was scared, the people she loved had stepped in to make sure she knew she wasn’t alone.
The tiny mer had no one to stand in between it and the crossbow bolt pointed between its eyes. There was only the tremble of Cordelia’s own treacherous hands, and the fleeting, impossible thought that crossed her mind.
Am I a murderer?"

A rain slicked brick street at night in the Downtown Mall, Charlottesville Virginia, lined with glowing amber lamp posts and historic storefronts. Text reads: The Unraveling. When a hidden pattern turns their town into a lethal puzzle, overlooked Ethan and pattern-driven Verity have seven days to solve six ancestral trials or watch reality unravel. Each failure resets time and leaves new damage carved into Ethan's skin. YA fantasy combining the puzzle-driven urgency of The Inheritance Games with the time-bending stakes of Only a Monster.
