"THIS BRUTAL MOON delivers a tense finale that avoids putting too neat a bow on the problems of the galaxy."

I have a new #BookReview today for THE WHITE OCTOPUS HOTEL by Alexandra Bell, which I adored! 📚💙

It’s “a steady, somewhat slow-moving stream of magical realism, star-crossed love, time travel, and reflection on grief and trauma.”

"Though this story is decidedly more action-packed than the others set in this world, it never loses sight of its heart-filled message, making it another worthy entry in the LEGENDS AND LATTES series."

Thanks Tor for the ARC of BRIGANDS AND BREADKNIVES!

Following up on my last repost about turning off the “Rude” filter - there are lots of other “helpful” moderation filters that Bluesky just decided to turn on & it’s a bit of a search to turn them off (or at least turn the ones you want off). But definitely worthwhile to review your own settings!
astridoverthere.bsky.social I said abolish and I fucking meant it @astridoverthere.bsky.social · 5d
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

In other news, my sourdough is a fail. Still having trouble getting my starter to behave, which I think is the reason for the fail. 🥲

Idk how I have 400 blog views today by 9:30 am, which is NOT my norm. But it’s not for any one post & I can’t tell “who” the referrer is. Bots or AI searches maybe??? 🤖

Idk how this works.

Well, that’s a real shame, if true. AI “art” sucks. I hope people are able to return their copies if they want to.

Today I'm reviewing THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA by Tasha Suri! 💙📚🌈
