Holy crap how did I miss that Lidia Yuknavitch had a new book this past summer! Thrust.

Book of Joan was one of the most fantastic books I've ever read. Has anyone read this latest of hers??

Even though I’m still reading two other books, I didn’t want to wait longer - I’ve begun Book 6 of The Death Gate Cycle, Into the Labyrinth. I do sort of want to know how this story is going to wrap up, so this and just one more book to go in the cycle. #fantasy #DeathGateCycle

*shuts down laptop*
I think that's enough internet for today

*picks up phone*
Let's see what the pocket sized internet is doing

I've heard it mentioned that #TheBladeItself is #JoeAbercrombie 's weakest novel and I have to say, if this is his weakest novel I'm excited to read the rest of his #FirstLaw books. @bookstodon #bookstodon #fantasy #grimdark @LordGrimdark

It's December tomorrow! How did that happen? As promised, I'll be doing a #bookishAdvent. One book recommendation a day, hidden behind a CW (so it's like opening a door, but also it won't bother people who don't want to see it, so win-win).

I'll be choosing recs from books I've read this year, but if you want to join in, it's up to you how you choose your books. Please put alt-text on any images you share. I'll be boosting from the hashtag each day.

The best things you can do for an #independent #author:

1 - Buy and read their #book.
2 - Review it! This is a huge help in beating the #algorithms and getting seen. At least give it a star #review.
3 - Buy more copies of their book for #gifts at #birthdays and #holidays.
4 - Tell people about it when you are discussing #reading. Mass #market #books get plenty of #publicity. #Indie #writers depend largely on #self-promotion (which many of us cringe at) and word of mouth.

Unlike many of you, I don’t participate in Black Friday pandemonium. I completed my Christmas shopping in April.
