Julia Kitvaria Sarene 📚🐉⚔️☠️

As someone who worked in a bookshop for 21 years, I really wanna apologize for every single one employee. This is utterly horrific and should *never* have happened and I am so very sorry

If it goes quite past 1000 page usually.
Just

Me holding a black dog up in front of a low fence, so he can see the racoons in the enclosure behind it. (There's greenery on the ground so he can't see over it when not picked up)

I'm so sorry, I know the pain stays forever. They are such a big part of us.

Many hugs and racoon watching at the zoo for you.

Fluffy black dog in front of a black background

Same for with a small pile of fur (just from his legs)

Same dog with a big pile of fluff, from the whole dog next to him, along with the clippers

Same dog after the clipping, now looking write orderly

Before: creature of legendary floof.
Step 1: leg fluff sacrifice.
Step 2: whole-dog defloofening.
Result: one distinguished gentleman and approximately one spare dog on the floor.

(It's just over 70g of floof off 😅)

Ich war bei Pflanzen kölle und Aldi. Das hat mir gereicht 😂

I haven't tried that one before, I will have to keep an eye out!

Thank you 😁

As a German, now I need to know which one!?

We ever only used life traps and then brought them way out into the forest.

Though we never had any when we had our last terrier 😅

Work is going this fun today

Today is World Book Day. Which is a roundabout way to tell you to buy my books. Here are a few of them.

Not even 40 just yet, and just earlier I moved my neck incrementally in what seems to have been the wrong way. Ouch.

Or instead of rested, you get up from bed and wonder why your hips or back hurt. One of these two is usually unhappy when the other is happy.

When did this happen?!

Right?!

*Toothpaste, yummy, yummy toothpaste, can I have some toothpaste!?*

A black dog, his head lying on my knee, a toothbrush in my hand

Black dog, a toothbrush in front of his mouth, tongue slightly out, eyes very wide, looking at the toothpaste on the brush, basically salivating waiting for it

Black dog. Close up of the face, very boopable snoot

I'd say it is safe to say, the fog really, really likes the taste of his "liver" toothpaste...

Book#25

Poisonous trees, stubborn botanists, and dragons who heal one careful step at a time.

Cosy village magic with banter, exploding kettles, and gentle slow burn romance. Strong, warm, and full of heart and some banter.

So, off we are, into March, and into adventure!

Traffic has been getting worse one way or the other... If you don't "market" a lot on other social media, blogs sink into obscurity these days.
And I'm more than busy enough with just Bluesky 😅

Yes I really enjoyed the first!

I'm utterly rubbish at finishing series...

I'm just so "oh shiny new thing"

I absolutely plan to finish this though!

I also need to reread Ancillary Justice and then finish that at some point as well...

Now I need to catch up 😅

We are thrilled to announce our edition of First Mage on the Moon by Cameron Johnston in collaboration with Angry Robot 🌕

A collar saying "February Wrap Up" showing the following book covers: Das Signal by Ursula Poznanski A Murder of Crows: An Urban Fantasy Thriller by Steve McHugh Hammerfall by Rob J. Hayes Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis Liches Get Scritches by HJ Tolson Hunter’s Apprentice by Simon Shugar Twelve Months by Jim Butcher Mumbai Singularity by Nym Coy Fazgood and the Obstreperous Moosecrab Caper by Tim W. Burke Quarter Share by Nathan Lowell Gather the Anarchists by Tilly Wallace Academy of Cards: Aspirant’s Oath by Levi Jacobs Fleet Champions by Rob J. Hayes

What do you mean February is already over? Alright, here's the Wrap Up then.

Favourites this month are hard, I'd say a tie between Hammerfall and Twelve Months, but I had many amazing books.

Book#24

Action hravy tournament chaos, friendships pushed to breaking, and a hero staring straight at his own darkness.

Progression fantasy in space that levels sideways and refuses easy answers. Brutal, hopeful, and impossible to look away from.

SPFBO 11: Dogged by Michael R. Fletcher I really loved this one. Which is probably a relief for the author because sometimes I bounce off his stuff. He tends to dance on the line of how much grimdark I can tolerate, and sometimes he goes…

HEY ALL YOU LOVELY SFF BOOK PEOPLE

<3 Another review and this one is for my favorite in the #SPFBO contest so far in my batch.

It's also the highest score I've ever given anything from my original pile of books for the contest

The Tattling Whisperwoods by Tilly Wallace

Wandering Inn Book 8 Blood Of Liscor by Piratebea

Hi Womble, my current reads are The Tattling Whisperwoods, a cosy-ish historical fantasy with a female main character who goes her own way.

And book 8 of the Wandering Inn, which is my perfect bed time audio ok, as it's long enough to keep playing all night 😉

Added some books to the wishlist. Thanks! 😉

I love this series! Though I needed a long break between books or they do feel.just a tad too similar.

But so much fun, and I love the characters!

Apparently I posted #23 before #22...

Royal visit, whispered conspiracies, & Grace once again stepping straight into trouble.

Cosy historical mystery with quiet strength, subtle rebellion, & a dance. Reliable, comforting & exactly the reset I needed.

Oh that's such a good cover!

You're very welcome! Thank you for the amazing entertainment ❤️
