Yes, my understanding is that Hachette is the only big 5 who has publicly said a firm no to AI-written manuscripts. Wonder why the others haven’t? 🤔
At least Hachette says it supports human artists and writers (although it doesn't define what editorial roles can be automated).

Hallo, Hallo dear hearts,

I have been in such a readerly rut lately - too much on my heart/mind to properly focus on STORIES. Sad yet true 😔I knew I needed to pull myself out of this FUNK and guess what? The Half-Life Empire by @gameoverstation.bsky.social is just the kind of STORY I need right now

I am so wicked happy to have found I.M. Foster's series (ie. The South Shores #Mysteries) as they're #CosyCrime #HistoricalMysteries - full of intrigue & drama - the kind which keep you up at night! I *devoured!* the first book already!

For new & hot #wuxia movie, watch out for #LegendoftheCondorHeroes, which is coming to US cinemas on FEB. 21. It's the newest adaptation from a classic novel by #JinYong.
For novels with #wuxiaxianxia tropes and vibes, try the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology ( #TheHeavenlySword + #TheEarthlyBlaze ).

Both #TheHeavenlySword and #TheEarthlyBlaze are 2024 #IndieInkAwards finalists! I feel honored but at the same time a bit embarrassed, because there were only a total of 11 nominees in this category and their rule is to pick 10 finalists! It just shows how neglected the category is 😗

I've been spending my leisure Sunday enjoying listening to music via #Spotify and sorting out thoughts on my bookish journey over the past twelvemonths as I blog my Year End Survey inspired by @brokeandbookish.bsky.social It is a tradition I've not maintained and one that I have missed! 💜🦝

Thank you so much! And, a very Happy Christmas and a very blessed New Year's to you and your family, too!😉🎄
Merry Christmas!

Happy Christmas, #booksky💙📚

I'm #amreading #ChristmasReads this Christmas week which include: a lovely prequel novella to a beloved saga penned by Julie Lessman; a #LoveInspired #SweetRomance by Danielle Thorne and a novel about finding the Christmas spirit after devasting loss by Andrew J. Mair.

My #CloakAndDaggerChristmas is going wickedly as I *devoured!* Prison Break Hostage. 💙📚

"This is the kind of psychological suspense narrative I love to read or watch in a film. The story was on an adrenaline piercing coaster of emotions as soon as it began!"

I'm #currentlyreading the Honor Bound series by @annajwriter.bsky.social for #cloakanddaggerchristmas - as announced via #bookstagram

Unsure if anyone is currently hosting this lovely readathon but I decided to do it myself this year; Mysteries, Suspense & Thrillers for me! Oh my

Random thought: Did you ever notice the "Year in Review of Music" via #Spotify not only *understands!* your musical mind and top favourite songs but it is like the playlist you get after Spotify does your wrap-up for the year, it is the MUSIC your soul needs right now? Or is it just me!? 🎧🎼

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

@itapixie.bsky.social Thanks for following my bookish adventures on #booksky! I started to be active on here over Summer and have enjoyed gearing up for a more engaged New Year as this year starts to come to a close. I hope you've been enjoying the links I've been sharing which route to my #bookblog

Being on BlueSky feels like Kingdom Hearts. My friends and mutuals have been scattered across the Internet cosmos after a great disruption and I have to find them.

@hardcoverhaven.bsky.social Sorry I missed you were following me for so many months now, Lila! I have only just started to grow my presence on #booksky since this Summer and even then, had some slow starts getting my feeds to grow a bit with content and convos! I look forward to visiting your blog

@queensbookasylum.com So happy to find you on here! I've been trying to follow everyone I used to follow somewhere else as I'm trying to be more active again socially after a few difficult years wherein I wasn't able to be very engaged at all; I revived my blog over the Summer, too😆

@donnacarrick.bsky.social @donnacarrick.bsky.social Appreciate the follow! I'm still gathering my bearings on #booksky - looking for authors, #bookbloggers and readers - I'll be focusing on Thrillers & Suspense this December on my #bookblog - after I finish my final four #SciFiMonth reads!
