Looking for my next book, I didn't vibe with anything on my TBR here. So I went onto the Queer Liberation Library and looked for books there and ran into The Red Scholar's Wake by @[email protected] and remembered I wanted to read that. So that's what I picked!

The QLL's copy is checked out atm, so I got it from one of the other libraries I have a card with, but still. I found it there. <3

(It's National Library Card Signup Month, so check them out at www.queerliberationlibrary.org )

(comment on The Red Scholar's Wake)

I ordered some cards with the @dungeonmistrix art. I should have them at Eastercon as well as the French events I'm attending this spring (Ouest Hurlant and something else I can't talk about right now!).

Get your lesbian space pirates here!

If you come to Eastercon, I should have gift cards with the art I had commissioned for the release of The Red Scholar's Wake, my sapphic romance between nerdy engineer & sentient spaceship pirate queen.

And if you want to get your very own copy, it's this way:

Go read it!

(The book also featured a chapter from the upcoming book „A Fire Born of Exile“ coming out this autumn, I can't wait! ^__^)

The first new book I discovered through Mastodon was #theRedScholarsWake (and hence the first new author for me was @aliettedb).

Now the book is in my hands! I just have to finish the book I am currently reading and then I am ready to dive in.

Though waiting for the book, I jump started my adventures in the Xuya universe with The Tea Master and the detective.

This week's Player Intrusion comes from @daniel who recommends our listeners read #TheRedScholarsWake by @aliettedb!

Hahhahaa The Red Scholar's Wake is on the sapphiclitbot account on the bird site. My little book has arrived!

Alt text: a post from user @sapphiclitbot that says "As the bots slid downwards, further than Xích Si’s arms could reach, Rice Fish shivered — and laid her hand on Xích Si’s lips, gently pressing with the delicacy of a kiss.
