Thank you, Zigs!!!

"For Lanie, Death is not an end by any means nor is it something that requires years of mourning and wailing. It is a celebration, a next step, a new beginning all rolled into one. It is Yellow. For this alone, I would recommend this book."

Lemon citrus death. I love this series.

Why Haven’t You Read This!? Saint Death’s Daughter by C.S.E Cooney It was the bright pink cover that drew me to this book. There truly isn’t anyway it couldn’t have been, it was on a shelf surrounded by fantasy novels that were all dark and quite frank…

How lovely this is. Thank you, @thebookwyrmshoard2.bsky.social!

Thank you so much!!!

Why Haven’t You Read This!? Saint Death’s Daughter by C.S.E Cooney It was the bright pink cover that drew me to this book. There truly isn't anyway it couldn't have been, it was on a shelf surrounded by fantasy novels that were all dark and quite frankly dreary looking and yet here in the middle was this bright pink cover. I don't even remember if I read the whole blurb, there is a distinct possibility I didn't, I sometimes you just see a book and you just know that this is it, it's the read you've been looking for possibly your entire life.

@csecooney.bsky.social Saint Death series is one of my favorites of all time, so of course I had to feature this wonderful series!

Breath Warmth & Dream by Zig Zag Claybourne would be my pick as a great book that I wish more people knew about. Especially fans of Terry Pratchett or Patricia C. Wrede.

Helluva thread for book recs. The tbr must flow.

Thank you!!!

My respect for a bookstore always increases when I see it has a local author section. Big or small doesn't matter. If I see highlighting the voices around you is important to you, it immediately becomes important to me.

Egregious plant post warning…

So last winter I got a lil teeny monstera prop/sprout & then someone gave me another “dead” one to see if I could cleric that thing back to life.

MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO BIG CHAP (1) & WEE BEBE (2, formerly dead) CLOVEY?

A week from today!!! Now, to read from the wip? The last book? A bit from Infernal Bargains??? GIIDDDDYYY!

If you're hinting beautifully toward Readercon, I'm not going this year. This is my year off cons, something I've been wanting for several years now. (No books or games out this year was my EXCUSE!) The exception is GenCon, because Carlos made big eyes at me. But if you'll be in NYC...!!!

LOL. You're still doing it! I know, because I do it. But I must practice constantly not to, or else Carlos makes sad eyes at me. And gets righteously furious on my behalf.

And so, I say again. Welcome to the feast. Have a seat. You're here. EXCELSIOR!

Ah, balls!

Recovering apace. Though I wish the pace would pick up. :)

But also trying to convince myself otherwise, and celebrate small victories in kindness.

THAT IS SO WONDERFUL!!! Oh my gosh. May you have all the naps you need, and may your surfaces be as clean as you want to make them!

A book cover that says A HAUNTING ON THE HILL by Elizabeth Hand.

Been taking time away to fight back my brain woims. Absolutely devouring this book the last few evenings. Genuinely scary. Shirley would have loved it.

My darling Sarah... soon, I hope you will just consider yourself one of those impressive horror writers, instead of a lesser creature. We all have imposter syndrome. WELCOME TO OUR FEAST! Now we ascend together. EXCELSIOR.

Come see me with some much more impressive horror writers this weekend! 😅

Human Authored Usage Guidelines - The Authors Guild Human Authored is a certification mark owned by the Authors Guild that may be used to indicate that a book was written by a human and not generated by AI. The mark, illustrated below, consists of the ...

The Authors Guild is now offering "Human Authored" certification marks for literary works in which "the text itself was fully authored by one or more human beings and not generated by AI." What a time to be alive!

text snippet showing a repetition of "d"s and a rhyme on the right side of the image.

Final typographic checks are always important to the layout. In this example the lines on the right justified side of this paragraph need some changes. The repetition of "had" "had" and the d in "laughed" and the "own" rhymes should be adjusted so the eye isn't drawn to the patterns in the text

You might be the only human on Earth and Athe to like book 2 better, and I just go ALL HEART-EYES for that!!! Thank you! 😍

There is nothing more calming to mine own nervous system than a bunch of statement sock arranged in a statement manner to dry in the sun. #solarpower #sustainableenergy #greenenergy #statementsocks
