I don't understand why we need to share our "most disappointing reads" of the year. Let's lift up our favorite work and those authors instead of dragging down others. 🤷‍♂️

2025 is coming to a close, so it's time to look back.
Memories of Sorcery and Sand is the only book I released this year. It's probably my best writing, but the book is so niche, it's also going to be the less talked about among my books.
1/3 🧵

For the last few weeks, it was "summer warm" over here, but now temperatures are dropping again (not sure that I like it 😉), so it's a good time to remind you about Lands of Frost: a bundle of very wintery fantasy, science fiction, and horror.
Get your winter TBR sorted!

Someone just made a veiled and clever Highlander reference in a thread that had nothing to do with fantasy or movies, and I caught it in an instant.
Also in an instant, I felt extremely old as I realized getting it immediately might not be given anymore.

I saw that question in one of the groups, and I think it's an interesting one to ask.
I've had a good reading year, with many interesting reads (and exciting re-reads), but if I was to pick one book... I think "Ninefox Gambit" by Yoon Ha Lee takes the spot. What's your top book?

Christmas for husband and me is a time for experimenting in the kitchen, and this year is no different. So far, we made traditional Polish gingerbread cookies, homemade pretzels, and a jambalaya (from a recipe shared with me by my reader).
Today? We’re modifying our perfect pizza dough recipe.
