I'm still in the mood for Star Wars. I'm halfway through Lost Stars by Claudia Gray, and it's fantastic. 💙📚🪐

I've added a sticky link to my site that leads to all of the weekly horror fiction & any tempting monster/darkish romances releasing each week in 2026. I'll post a new one each week if you'd like to keep up with what's new. Recent issues are here

I'm tired of YouTube videos that say "I watched 20 booktube videos and these are the best books/series/whatever and instead of giving credit to the videos they scrubbed, they fill their description with affiliate links.

It's been long enough since I've immersed myself into #StarWars. It's like childbirth. I eventually forget the pain! I bought a Star Wars puzzle today to try to appease myself for a little bit before heading back into suffering.

I supose at this point people knows, but if you are publishing SFF/H during this 2026 and would like to be covered on Jamreads, don't be shy of contacting me (either here, form or e-mail). Publishers, authors and publicists, feel free!

Can't guarantee I will, but hey, always happy to check.

Next Wednesday! Don’t miss it!
We're so excited to be hosting @pickyourpotions.bsky.social on 1/14 at 7pm. VAMPIRES AT SEA is a smutty queer horror comedy, and it was one of Katie's favorite reads last year. Come meet Lindsay and hear more about the book as she discusses it with fellow horror author @sonorataylor.bsky.social .

Did anyone figure out how to get all of the ornaments back into the box you were storing them in??

I spent a lot of time editing this one. I hope it shows. I feel like I've learned so much in the past year. It has been a fun outlet.

This was a reply to my post that started with "people are so bitter this time of year". I mean, thank you for proving me right, but a going to the beach goal sounds nice, doesn't it? 🏖️

Reminder to my fellow web managers to update the year in your sites' copyright footers if it doesn't do so automatically!

People are so bitter this time of year. Yes, people can actually read a lot of books in one year. Popular books aren't bad. Buying books isn't evil. Reading goals aren't performative. Your reading preferences aren't the "right" way to read. You don't have to read deeply. Just read. ❤️📚💙

Was in the mood for pirates, sea monsters, magic, and some swashbuckling action, and lo and behold! @shannonchakraborty.bsky.social creates a book treasure that contains all of these things and more. Started this on kindle and had to have a physical copy, because this is great stuff!

This was an excellent botanical horror audiobook. It’s lush and grotesque.
