Happy publication day @alexknightbooks.bsky.social and #ServantOfRage!

'an exhilarating gut-punch of a book that packs it all – earth-shattering fights, electrifying magical powers, and a meaningful investigation of the human condition.'

Let's go Joe!

Started my buddy read of #TheDevils with @nilsreviewsit.bsky.social today - two chapters, we've met Brother Diaz and Alex, already laughed loads... Already don't want to put it down for even a minute. What a start!

I'm loving seeing the various 'my year in books' updates from Goodreads/Storygraph/etc. I quite like the myyearinbooks.com one because they make a little graphic for you 😂 I'm easy to please
Here's mine!

Not my quote on the front cover of #Titanchild!!!!!!!!! Excuse the messy behind the till but I was SO excited! I'm really hoping this means my pre-ordered copy is waiting at home for me as I type...

Titanchild is the sequel to #Talonsister - Jen Williams' glorious griffiny return to fantasy!

My current read! Post war Britain, a magical university, a protagonist trying to break the faerie curse on her brother whilst navigating two new worlds - of magic and class. Gloriously cosy and escapist
#TheScholarAndTheLastFaerieDoor by H G Parry

What are you reading?

OBVIOUSLY you should all go read Dave Wragg's books, and not just because he bought me chocolates

Did you read my interview with Jen on the Hive yesterday? I asked her which of her characters she'd fuck marry and kill...

I did also ask her serious questions about her fantastic new fantasy Talonsister!

Reskeet with a meme that lets us all get to know you a little better

(I've gone with a super specific one 😂)

Picked up a copy of The Hunters by David Wragg for myself ^_^ I read the ebook and absolutely loved it, so need a physical copy. Anyone else get the urge to do this with books they've loved?

Happy Publication Day S. l Huang and The Water Outlaws! My pre-ordered copy arrived from Waterstones today and it's such a gorgeous looking book.

If you want to know more, we posted an excerpt from it on The Fantasy Hive last month

Finally reading Heartstopper and this! If I ever do need to march for LGBQTIA+ rights, this will be my placard

"Thornhedge is dark, it’s laced with sadness and futility, but it’s wonderfully sweet and ultimately hopeful."

My first foray into Kingfisher's work was a wonderful and memorable one!

The Magician's Daughter by H. G. Parry

"There was so much heart and wonder to this beautiful story, with enough danger and risk to keep me burning through the pages."
