Day 9
Fantastic voyages

When I read this prompt hint "slogging through the mud also count" it was clear the Blood Scouts by @fantasticphil.bsky.social had to be the choice!

Dark, funny, with great characters, sapphic moments & just damn bloody entertaining.

Not all chonks feel chonky. @susy.bsky.social shares the love for The Raven Scholar #WyrdAndWonder
I was a tad "scared" of this one because it's not a small book and I wasn't in the mood for a chunky book but... Wow! I loved this one! My first #WyrdAndWonder read was amazing!!

An excellent opening line gets us hook, line and sinker 😉
#WyrdAndWonder25 day 2
It was a dark and stormy night - Auspicious beginnings

I mean, how could you resist a book that starts with this first sentence??

“I was seven years old the first time my uncle poisoned me”

What a fabulously nautical stack - if you’re looking for inspiration for #WyrdAndWonder, you’d do well to start here!
Chart your course with some nautical fantasy this month! 🌊✨📚

When I saw this year's @wyrdandwonder.bsky.social theme was focused around the sea, I had to get on board (heh) 🤭

All this month, I'll be sharing some of my favourite nautical-themed reads (and talking a bit about my own books too!) 💙

One of our buddy reads for @wyrdandwonder.bsky.social
Just under 3 weeks until @emmanewman.bsky.social's THE VENGEANCE sets sail!

Join Morgane as she takes a voyage into her family's tangled history, a world of decadence and darkness, in which monsters vie for control of royal courts and destinies of nations.
