After the Tales from the Flat Earth, this series will be my next read.
began the Storm Lord today, and only Tanith Lee would start a book with a race-supremacist dragon king compelled by a Magic Sex Moon into the deeply suspicious vagina of a local snake priestess who "pull(s) him struggling and groaning into the spinning pit of her womb" and kills him dead
I see many citing Tanith Lee as a good fantasy author to replace some tarnished names, which is great, love her, but do be aware she is balls to the wall, knee deep in the genre trenches, not safe for work or safe in any way, a wizard will sexually assault a horse skull and it's only chapter three

My Favorite Books of 2025
Hello, everyone! Today I have another year-end list of top books, my favorite books of 2025. I managed to narrow the list down to ten books this year despite most of my reading being new releases. So, the ones I've chosen are definitely the best of the best. 🙂 These are all 2025 releases that I've managed to read this year.

Hello, everyone! Today I have my first year-end list of top books, my favorite backlist reads of 2025. I managed to narrow the list down to 10 books this year. I read all of these in 2025, but they were published prior to the beginning of the year. I'll have a post with all of my favorite new 2025 releases sometime in the next couple of days.

I love Jawbone by Monica Ojeda SO MUCH and it feels like a great companion piece to the Piano Teacher. The claustrophobia of parental expectations and the weight and vulnerability of being a woman. The shame of repressed transgressive desires. Kissing your mom with tongue. That kind of stuff.

...alas bluesky always reminds me about this, not only bc of folks actually literally saying "if you don't mention your books, most people will not know about them," but bc when I DO post about my books I often get someone commenting like "sounds cool! just bought/preordered!"
The truth is, if you don't mention your books, most people will not know about them, or how to most easily get hold of them. In fact to assume that anyone on here sees all of what you post (or even most of it) would in itself be a giant act of solipsism & self-regard in an overstretched world...
