I thought @xiranjayzhao.bsky.social wrote my favorite book with ‘Iron Widow’. Then I read its sequel ‘Heavenly Tyrant’… I cannot overemphasize the raw power and brilliance of this series. A *must* read. #bookrecs

It was Christopher Eccleston not Keanu Reeves, but close enough. (Unless there’s another girl in the picture I don’t know about!!)
100% true story. So, there's this party, and who do you think shows up but Keanu fucking Reeves, who proceeds to totally fumble this off-the-hook hottie. Well, what's a girl to do? I sweep in and pull her and now she's my gf of over a year. I know you'll all roll your eyes, but every word is true.

Hey novelists— how do you deal with the fear of not writing fast enough? I would *love* to be able to churn out a short story in a week. As it is I’ve been working on the same novel for a good *seven years* 😓 Is it just me??

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly. My contribution:
A Hungarian noblewoman is slandered for centuries and accused of crimes she totally might have done, but also maybe she didn’t? 👀🧐🤷♀️ Also the author is a queer woman with familial trauma and you can *totally* tell.

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly. I’ll go first:
A librarian suffers a dog bite, bangs three hot roommates, deletes as many people as she resurrects, and starts an apocalypse over her daddy issues.

Slow River by @nicolaz.bsky.social completely transformed me. Criminally underrated, should be much higher on everyone’s list of ‘must read’ LQBTQ+ fiction.

"Reyzele," you said. "We love your poems, but we yearn for something new and different," you said. So this morning--with profound thanks to @erswrites.bsky.social and her multi-coloured hair--I give you... a сказка (Russian-style fairy tale).

When my grandma went into hiding, the person who organized it was a 16-year-old girl. She was working for the resistance in a factory, getting the young Jewish girls like my grandma who worked there into hiding. I always wonder if I have the strength of that girl. Thinking about her a lot lately.
