I worked really hard in therapy to get used to quiet and how to focus and let moments exist and it feels like the second I got a handle on that the world got really loud

Cover for The Wish and the Demon, book one in the Half Swallowed by Shadows duology, by Rebecca Crunden. Cover shows three men's silhouettes standing in the middle of a road in winter. There's dark red trees and snow on the ground. One figure is approaching the other two, surrounded by shadows.PROLOGUE 
The Men Who Are Not Priests 
1857 
December Shadows obscured the view of the building that was not a church, its stained glass a mockery of holy devotion. Built in secret, the users called the building their church, but they were not true holy men, and so it was not a true church. True believers were not welcome and often stayed away despite how few places of worship there were in the town, sensing a darkness about the false church that none could ever quite define. Midnight had come and gone when a man stepped out of the trees and walked determinedly towards the building. The hood of his cloak was drawn up and obscured his identity from any who might be lurking in the forest. But the woods were empty save the owls and wolves, and the only ones for miles around were inside already.

The last part in this trilogy is now out! They're all on kindle unlimited and I'd love to push book 3 up the charts-- here's a review!
This series was an exciting spin on magic and found family. As the final book in this series, was pleasantly hooked until the end. had no idea how all the loose ends would tie up in the end, but they did! can't wait for any future series set in this universe.

For the #RepostYourArt theme of #soft I am sorry I immediately thought of something #nsfw
comic of a woman in a white crop top and shorts interacting with a marshmallow monster lady. The creature is tall and white with red polka dots and a metal band around its head, like those mushrooms. In the first panel, the woman smiles and touches the creature's chest. The second panel shows her hand gripping its soft boob. In the third panel, she pulls back her hand to find the boob stuck to it, like melted Marshmallow

#booksky 📚💙 📚🪐 This week I'm asking Why haven't you read A Light for the Dead to Follow by @bookspotlight.bsky.social !? An excellent quick read with a necromancer mc and a brilliant message of hope!
thebookwyrmshoard8.wordpress.com
Why Haven’t You Read A Light for the Dead to Follow by Rebecca Crunden!?
While it is not the specific book, Crunden can be credited as the reason I read short stories or novellas at all. Just on that level alone I would ask why you haven't read any of her short stories and the one that started it all will be featured here eventually but, as usual A Light for the Dead to Follow is relevant for these times.
