Returning books early is paying it forward so we all get to read sooner ❤️
Readers, who borrow #audiobooks from your local #library: it’s easy to wait til the audiobook is due and let it automatically return.
But this slows down the wait-list.
Try to remember to actively return the audiobook when you’re done.

Absolutely! SFF really excels at exploring complex issues while leaving room for interpretation. It's like a mirror reflecting our own dilemmas! 🌌✨ #ThoughtfulSFF #Imagination
oooh, such an interesting way to think about it. Yes. I think SFF usually offers A Solution, while not always saying it is The Solution? (And in fact sometimes going "wow, anything but this".) Which... yeah, more problem-proposing and -exploring. Pardon me while I think this through out loud 😂

This has been on my TBR since the fall and I’m so glad I finally cracked it open. It’s entertaining and a little sassy and great social commentary on the side😄

OSLO: A bit firm but you get used to it and secretly suspect that you should probably use a firmer mattress anyway. It’s healthy, right?
WARSAW: Giant eighteen-inch deep cloth pierogi. Gloriously squishy.
LONDON: Enjoy your historic concrete slab.

This was fun and irreverent and had definite #TerryPratchett #Discworld Monstrous Regiment vibes. It managed to make me laugh out loud a few times 😄

This looks adorable. I hope it gains traction for a reprint!
I once made a kids book during lockdown.
It's since been really seriously loved around the world.
But the publisher was really tiny (I couldn't get a big publisher without an agent) & I've been told they can't afford another print run atm :(
If any agents or publishers want, it's open to offers...

Just starting book #72 of the year. I’ve been excited to start this since seeing many posts about it. The audiobook narrator is delightful to listen to

In case you missed it. Apparently a TikTok thing. I don’t have time for TikTok. 😂

I started book 70 of 2025 this morning and it’s pretty interesting so far. I’ve heard lots of recommendations for it and really enjoyed the author’s Shades of Magic series so I hope it lives up to the hype!
