Finished The Things Gods Break today and loved it

Great, interesting sequel to The Games Gods Play

I couldn't put this down

The wait for book 3 begins

Ugh I'm going to be thinking about this for a while and I have so many theories

The Halloween Moon was a fun, spoopy, cute, quick MG book, perfect for October!

Good messages, good characters, fun adventurous plot, and all the Halloween you could want!

#booksky #booksky💙📚
Book cover for The Halloween Moon by Joseph Fink. The cover is split in two, like a reflection of a house over water. The top half shows a giant, orange moon with stars and some clouds. There's a house with a little upper window that shows a person's shadow. A tree sits on either side of the house. The lower half, upside down, shows a distorted version of this house

Just finished both The Stardust Thief and sequel The Ashfire King

This series is quite the adventure. SO MUCH happens! It's truly a journey, in the best of ways

Great characters, great world building, great story

Cannot wait for book 3

#booksky💙📚 #booksky #TheStardustThief
Book cover for The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah. The background of the cover is a white Islamic geometric pattern. In the center, between the title and author, is a golden compass with a palace, a person on a horse on a sand dune, a hooded, cloaked figure, and a lamp in its center. Red and orange fire, which appears almost like ink in water, splashes across the cover in a horizontal line, under and around the compass. Across the very top, it says ""A THRILLING ADVENTURE ABOUT FOUND FAMILIES, ANCIENT MAGIC, AND STORIES THAT LINGER." S. A. CHAKRABORTY, AUTHOR OF THE CITY OF BRASS"

It may be an older series, but I just finished The Firebird Trilogy (A Thousand Pieces Of You) for the first time and I absolutely loved it

It's a very fun, exciting, YA, multiverse traveling adventure

I'm going to miss these characters and this world so much

#booksky #booksky💙📚
Book cover for A Thousand Pieces Of You by Claudia Gray. Starting with a white background, the cover looks to be a watercolor painting with splashes around the edges. The top half shows the London city shape in blues ans greys. The bottom half shows a Russian city, in pinks and purples and oranges, with some green and white

@quartermasterc.bsky.social and I brought home two Maine Coon kittens today!

We love them so much already

The way Kevin Smith delivered this line was amazing

In fact, his acting this whole episode (S6E1 Coming Home) was truly spectacular

He was a fantastic choice for Ares. He never let a scene down

Finished The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet & it was fantastic

Cozy, wholesome, creative, fun. Some cool af alien species & amazing world building

What's unique about this book is that, while there IS a plot, the plot is kind of the background. It's more about the characters

#booksky💙📚
Book cover for The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. The title, in a green to white ombre, takes up most of the cover. The background is a space scene with some stars and a subtle blue nebula. There is a small, reddish Planet behind the word "The." The spaceship from the book is tucked under the word "way," next to the word "small," and above the word "planet." It's a bulky hodgepodge of a ship either a green dome on its back right side. The words "Great fun! - Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice" graces the bottom right corner. A green circle with the words "Winner of the Hugo Award for best series" graces the top right corner

A triptych photo made up from screengrabs from Xena Warrior Princess. Top left shows two boys with a lot of people behind them. The boy on the left is a human-urchin hybrid and the boy on the right is a human-manatee hybrid. The image on the bottom left is Gabrielle in water with a mermaid tail. The image on the right is of Gabrielle in front of a pool, wearing a yellow bikini with a matching sarong, holding an apple in one hand and the handle of a cart in the other. In the cart is a squid like baby creature with a human face

I just finished reading Di-Curious and it was super cute and very fun

The MC plays dnd, so not only is there a lot of dnd talk, but they even play on page! As a dnd player myself, that was REALLY enjoyable

It's also queer af, which is always good lol

#booksky💙📚 #DiCurious #QueerBookSky #DndBook
Book cover for Di Curious by Erin Branch. There is a d20 di, with the 20 up, in between the two words of the title. The tagline along the top reads "a sapphire tabletop RPG romance." The cover is set in a fantasy, d n d style library with soft wood colors everywhere, a bookshelf behind the two characters, and a table with an open book, a video game controller, a d4 di, a red dragon figurine, and an oil lamp in front of the characters. The bookshelf behind them also has a quill, the lesbian flag, the nonbinary flag, and a crystal ball on it. The two characters are both Tieflings, a humanoid horned race. The one on the left has pink hair with a flower crown and is wearing leathers and fabrics and has a pink tail in frame. On the right is a paladin with metal armor and short, teal hair

Xena producers and/or writers or something, idk: you know what this show needs? A western episode! Cuz cowboys totally existed in Ancient Greece!

Me: 😂😂 sure, why not

#xena #XenaWarriorPrincess
A triptych photo of 3 screengrabs from Xena Warrior Princess. Top left shows a man in a ton of leathers with a cowboy style leather coat and hat. Bottom left shows a stereotypical cowboy shot of a standoff, where one person's butt and thigh is taking up roughly the right half of the screen as he shows off his gun, while the rest of the screen shows his duel partner across the way. The photo on the right shows a woman in stereotypical cowboy getup, with the addition of a sword on her side, moving her coat out of the way to show off her gun

I DID NOT MAKE THIS

I DID NOT PUT A PHOTO INTO META'S (OR ANYONE ELSE'S) AI GENERATOR

IT DID THIS FOR ME WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT

I AM DISGUSTED AND ANGRY AND FEEL VIOLATED

#FuckMeta #meta #Facebook #FacebookAI
A screenshot of the stories reel on Facebook under the "what's on your mind" prompt for making new posts. It shows 3 story slots. The first is for me, it's empty as I dont post stories. It has my profile photo and the words "create a story." The second is a friend's story, which I have censored with a red flower sticker with a green leaf, and I drew over the name and profile photo. The third is an AI photo of me that I did NOT generate, an old photo of me with my hair styled by AI and dressed in an old timey outfit, also done by AI. It says "Meta AI" underneath. Again, I DID NOT make this image

This was a good, poignant graphic novel, perfect for Pride (and any time of year, really)

A quick but powerful read, this GN covers how important it is to live authentically as your true self, with an alien as the MC!

#booksky #GraphicNovel #booksky💙📚
Book cover for Galaxy The Prettiest Star by Jadzia Axelrod and Jess Taylor. The cover shows a gorgeous purple-skinned alien with teal hair and darker purple horns, wearing a trans flag crop top, sitting on top of a water tower next to her corgi, who has a navy blue bandana with thin white stripes tied around his neck. The rest of the cover is the sky with the moon and some clouds, as well as some leafy vegetation off the side. The words across the top read "As a metaphor for transness, Galaxy: The Prettiest Star is refreshing, original, and fun! With breathtaking illustrations and beautifully written characters to fall in love with, it's a brilliant new addition to DC's YA lineup." -Nicole Maines, actor, activist, writer

I love zombie fiction, so when I learned yesterday that @chucktingle.bsky.social wrote a queer zombie novella, I made it my next read & finished it in a day

This is a unique take on the genre and a fantastic zombie tale that's also queer af

It was amazing

#bluesky #bluesky💙📚 #ZombieBooks #Pride
Book cover for Straight by Chuck Tingle. The cover features a photo from the California desert at night. The landscape is still light enough to show some color, and you see cacti and Joshua Trees with a butte in the distance. The sky is covered with stars and a branch of the milky way, but the stars are clustered in such a way that the sky has a skull shaped into it

Just finished my first @chucktingle.bsky.social novel & I absolutely LOVED it. It was beautiful, which is unexpected for a horror lol

It's both a love letter to queer identities & an examination of us queer folks' relationship w media

Poignant, engaging, VERY fun

#booksky #booksky💙📚 #BuryYourGays
Book cover for Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. The background is stark black. The author's name is in big, pink letters. The letters of title itself are brightly colored purples, pinks, and oranges with an LA beach vibe with palm trees inside each letter. A sledgehammer is angled diagonally across the letters, and its head is dripping with blood. The tagline reads "You can make a killing in Hollywood."

Finished my first Pride read of the month: The Stars Too Fondly

A space adventure w/ an intriguing mystery: what happened to the original crew 20 years ago who vanished without a trace a second before liftoff, leaving the ship behind?

Very fun, very sweet. Also SUPER queer af

Loved it

#booksky💙📚
The book cover for The Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton. Floating in the center are two women. The woman on the left is floating higher, wearing blue clothes and matching glasses with her blond hair in a ponytail. She's slightly see through. The woman on the right is floating less high, wearing brown and gold clothes, with short curly brown hair. She's not see through. Behind them are swirls of color. The caption reads "it was love at first spaceflight"

#TheKnightAndTheMoth was a decent read

Very atmospheric, quite unique. The gargoyle was easily my favorite character

I predicted basically every twist, but I wasn't bored by that. It was an alluring adventure

Feel like the book description was somewhat inaccurate though

#booksky📚💙 #booksky
Book cover for The Knight And The Moth by Rachel Gillig. The cover, mostly in dark blues, silvers, and black depicts a woman floating on her back in water. Her hair covers her eyes. Her clothes are half gossamer dress on the right and half knight's armor on the left. There's a flower in her hair and flowers and greenery in the water. There are a few soft pink moths, one on her hand, one on the G, and one on the M. In the top right corner, it says "prepare to meet your next obsession - Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals"
