Avid reader of fantasy, mystery, and romance. Spinner, knitter, singer, novice writer. I blog about books and publishing (and sometimes other stuff) at https://bookwyrmshoard.com/ .
A lovely, warm, cozy sapphic fantasy about kindness, community, and learning to be your true self.

Given how much I enjoyed Leong's The Teller of Small Fortunes, I had high hopes for The Keeper of Magical Things, and I was not disappointed! 5 stars.

Kudos on the great ad: humor, clarity, honesty, and persuasiveness. (At least for this logophile.) I’m seriously considering it… but also wondering (in view of Robert MacFarlane’s The Lost Words) which older words were dropped. (Maybe none? None would be good.) #dictionary #merriamwebster

I absolutely loved this sci-if/#urbanfantasy series, especially the latest (not final) installment! (Although tbh I have a few minor reservations about the Graphic Audio editions... love the voices, could do without a few of the voiced sound effects.) bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews... #bookreview

Dolly Parton is a national treasure. 2025 has been hard enough already. However, you choose to do it – prayer, holding her in the Light, sending healing energy or just good vibes – I hope you’ll send some positive thoughts out into the universe for her. #DollyParton

A ramshackle old castle, a hidden book, a treasure hunt, and a touch of romance make The Secret Christmas Library a delightful read. #bookreview #holidaybooks #jennycolgan

As a brand-new weaver, I was excited to find this book at my regional library, and so impressed with its content that I have ordered my own copy. #weaving #bookreview bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...

I wasn’t at WorldCon. I didn’t see this happen; the first I heard about it was when someone reposted Elizabeth Bear’s post. I was appalled. It was the responsibility of both the announcer & the Hugo committee to make sure the announcer was well prepared & could say each name correctly. They failed.
Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

The #TopTenTuesday prompt this week was “books with a high page count.” What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

What a lovely, warm hug of a book! Cozy, heartwarming, and enchanting (but never saccharine or twee), A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping centers around found family, love, acceptance, healing, and the strength of rebuilding yourself after disaster. #cozyfantasy bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...

I absolutely loved the fourth in the Innkeeper Chronicles, Sweep of the Blade, by @ilonaandrews.bsky.social. It has action, suspense, humor, politics, treachery… and sizzling chemistry. #ScienceFiction #SFF #scifiromance

Celia Lake’s gentle, thoughtful Albion novels are high on my list of cozy fantasy comfort reads: Magic, romance, & diverse characters who treat one another with kindness, care, & respect, all in a historical fantasy setting.

Reposting for the clever literary joke.
Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

While the World Waits.

Start writing your book.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a little time, & the desire to begin. Set your timer for ten minutes, and start writing. Don’t judge what comes out—just let it flow.
Remember: if you don’t write, you have nothing to edit. #WritingTip

Hey, so it's National Library Week. You're going to see a lot of calls to get a library card and check out books. All well and good. But I'm going to ask you to do something a little more supportive: speak up.

#NationalLibraryWeek kicks off today! It’s a time to celebrate the places that welcome everyone, spark curiosity, and strengthen our communities.

This week, take a moment to discover—or rediscover—what makes your library special.

What draws you to the library?
