I had the joy of visiting a fantasy themed bookstore while on my holiday road trip. If you live anywhere near Knoxville I very much recommend visiting Fable Hollow which is both a coffee shop and a cozy bookstore.

Been in a bit of a reading slump for a couple of weeks. But I’m starting Scratch Moss today and hoping some coal mine horror will do the trick. I loved Barnett’s Scuttler’s Cove, so I am excited for this ARC. Scratch Moss by @davidmbarnett.bsky.social comes out March 5!

Happy new release to Sunset at Zero Point by Simon Stålenhag. I loved the Tales from the Loop books and was excited for this. I was surprised by how emotional it was on top of the cool scifi elements. 5 stars from me!

If you like gritty dark fantasy pick this one up. Granted I’m only 50 pages in but there has already been a gruesome death and the prose is so gothic and atmospheric. I can’t wait to read more about this deathspeaker over the snowy weekend that has already begun.

November seemed like the perfect season to finally start book 3 in the Saint of Steel series by T. Kingfisher. 🖤🧡 Love the @orbitbooks.bsky.social covers so I bought all four at once before even starting the series. 😅

Listen, I promise somehow it makes sense that there are dinosaurs, robots, AND aliens. Peter Clines was cooking here. I did find the characters somewhat one note but if you are craving a dino book I would give this a looksie.

Time for an Influence my TBR Thursday. I have been loving Robert Jackson Bennett’s Tainted Cup series. I bought this so I can start another series by him while. But I’m afraid to start it in case I don’t like it. 😭

When you go to your indie bookstore to pick up one order & remember also to order Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social while there, that’s a good day I say.
The description had me at 1960’s alien abduction, a lesbian in-book scifi writer, & an ‘Archivist’.

It’s time for another “help me decide on my next reads” TBR Thursday. I have too many spooky books to fit into October. Should Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian hop up my list?
I’m intrigued by what sounds like Kansas folk horror, witches, and stagecoaches.

An archaeologist makes a strange discovery on an exoplanet, a cavern containing a mysterious glass garden. 👀 I’m a sucker for books featuring alien worlds.
