Definitely How to Survive This Fairytale by S.M. Hallow! And since it looks like someone else said that as well, I also wanted to shout out Asunder by Kerstin Hall! I read both books last year and they each left me feeling breathless with how amazing they were!
Letโs see, a new pinned post maybe.
I am an illustrator and I also make pictures with my own hands for animation and games sometimes.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE RED WINTER by Cameron Sullivan. A queer historical fantasy of strange sorceries, avenging angels, & ravenous werewolves, an utterly delightful debut novel. Our drink is The Beast, be careful not to share with our protagonist...
This is such a beautiful cover!! And I canโt wait to read it!!! ๐ฅฐ
www.simonandschuster.com/books/Angel-... Digging myself out of the snow with exciting news!!! Cover reveal for ANGEL COUNTRY, my upcoming cosmic horror/alternate history revenge story. Please check it out and pre order here! I am so excited to introduce you all to Adaโs heavenly host of horrors.
I continue to be really pissed off at mainstream media warping the popularity of mlm stories as something that is only enjoyed by cis straight women and its only suddenly sucessful and important because cis straight women like it. that is not true. queer & trans people are at the helm.

Iโm ready for no more blizzards, please.

Begging everyone who hasnโt read How to Survive This Fairytale yet to pick it up immediately!! Itโs such a lovely and heartfelt story and you wonโt regret it!!
And if you have read (and loved) it already, maaaaybe (as in *you should*) consider voting for it in some awards ๐ซถ๐ป
If you're voting for the Hugos, Nebulas, Locus, or other awards, please consider this novella about queer love, recovering from trauma, and rewriting your story that CONSISTENTLY resonates with readers. People love this book. More people should know it exists.

Nothing says tension quite like MMF where you're very tightly gripping your sword because your BFF you're in love with and the morally bleak lady knight/queen you're also in love with are consummating their political marriage on the other side of the door you're guarding.
Out today!! ๐๐
My hot take i guess is that you shouldnt be able to try and ruin someone's career or life just because you didn't like the fictional badnastywrong thing they wrote ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Iโm tired of finding users in the journaling community who have cool videos who say they love being analog or who love art or reading only to see them promote using AI for printing stickers or โplanning their curriculumโ or for literally any other reason ๐

After wining of the @ursulakleguin.com Prize for Fiction 2025, @vajra.me talked to @cxorlando.bsky.social @reactorsff.bsky.social discuss to discuss RAKESFALL, a sprawling narrative about reincarnation, revolution, and recollection, as well as his approach to writing the fantastic!
I want to get out.

cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, which is blue, darker at the edges and paler in the center, with an image of a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a tree, with a scar over his eye, and black ooze dripping from a tree branch above him. the tagline reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."
what if. you asked me anything
about THE LORD OF THE WOOD, my cozy horror about a 43yo autistic guy who has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest
(both to reward me for starting line edits today and to cheer me up bc I'm Sad tonight)

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
Itโs corporate greed. Itโs an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.
This is one of my favorites, so I'm surprised I hadn't posted it here yet
