Started ‘Someone You Can Build A Nest In’ today.
Had my eye on this since first hearing about it at WorldCon last year.
That panel was suggesting this was a cozy book. One chapter in, and I’m struggling to find the ‘cozy’, but am very much enjoying the unusual set up.

New addition to the shelf! Very excited to dive in.
I also reckon this is my first book to have a sprayed pattern on the page edges. How does everyone else best show these off?

The new trailer had so much work it needed to do.
As someone who noped out of the previous run a few episodes into season 2, a recast could’ve been the moment I might try it out again.
Loved Cavill for the role, but a new actor doesn’t need to be a deathknell.

Card Mage - my deck-building, card-battling fantasy adventure - is returning to Kickstarter!
This is still a while away, (‘Mostly’ is getting my attention right now), but wanted to get word out early.
Head here to not miss updates, and to be first in line:

On the third attempt at his library, I think I finally found a Joe Abercrombie book that speaks to me.
Having a lot of fun with the audiobook, especially the banter between the characters.
If James Cameron does adapt the book, I hope they lean heavily on this aspect of it.

Yes, this is playing hell with my work process, thanks for asking.

With hours to spare, we did it.
I’m not talking about funding the campaign - my amazing readers sorted that within the first day.
No. Today, a few hours before the campaign end, we smashed the final stretch goal.
This thing is going to look amazing.
Today is a happy, exhausted author day.

I audibly gasped when I saw this in the second hand bookshop.
Loved listening to this in audio - cemented Harrow as one of my favourite authors.
Didn’t even know it had been published in hardback, and the copy was in perfect condition.
Pride of place on my shelf, now!

This is the corner that used to be my writing desk.
The new desk just got delayed by another three days.
I’d be more annoyed if it want so damned hot in Scotland right now…

We finished reading the first story - Araminta.
Adele: Are her stories normally this spicy? 🌶️
Not as far as I’ve ever experience? Hope she isn’t disappointed with the rest…

I rarely follow up a book by reading its sequel.
Finished The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett this morning, and I’m already hours into A Drop of Corruption.
Would currently die for Din and Ana.
