Who’s coming over to hang out and read? And what are you bringing to read? #booksky

I may be like the buzzing of flies to him, but there's no one else to whom I would rather be a buzzing fly.

Call it a potion of heroism, if you will…I can’t wait to sample this libation from the good folks at @criticalrole.bsky.social! Maybe when I sip it, I will gain the voice abilities of @matthewmercer.bsky.social. That would help me perfect my Strahd accent for the next campaign.

Alix Harrow is to writing and storytelling as my children were to not being psyched about this picture several years ago.

Which is to say, read everything she writes because it's brilliant and you'll be simultaneously enlightened and entertained. #booksky
A lovely family of four posed in front of a Christmas tree...my wife and I smile happily while my toddler son looks like he would rather be anywhere else (including being tortured) and my infant daughter sassily sticks her tongue out, a preview of her future personality in so many ways.

7 out of 10 podiatrist agree: Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore won't cause bunions.

Early reviews of this eclectic collection have been overwhelmingly positive despite it containing my absurd yarn about the time Robin Hood teamed up with Ebenezer Scrooge to kidnap the Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs.

Going to DM for the first time in years and getting prepped to run this (blood) sucker…feel free to share any tips or suggestions if you’ve played or run it! #dnd

Happy #worldbookday from the home library, my friends!

May you forever find joy in stories—may they guide you in your darkest hour and make your very best days even brighter.

If Spider-Man comics are to be believed, standard arrest protocol was a little different in the 70s. #comics

Here's some additional incentive to throw your hat in the ring to win THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON by shouting out a great book:
Against a beautiful backdrop of a snow-covered landscape, we see a small picture of the cover of the book The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True by Sean Gibson (the greatest book you've never read). Superimposed atop the majestic winter landscape is a quote from an enthusiastic actual reviewer that reads, "I do not feel there was anything redeeming about this book...I can usually appreciate a good story even when poorly written but this isn't a good story either."

Want to win a signed HC copy of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True?

Here's how:

Share this skeet by 3/31 and tell us about a great book you've read recently. (Tag the author! We like that!)

I'll pick a winner on 4/1. Shipping to the US only (sorry!).

Take care and be kind! #booksky
The hardcover version of Sean Gibson's The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True sits on a bookshelf between two dragon statues (one red, one green), with other splendid books in the background.

"Standout stories include...“What’s Good For The Goose…” by Sean Gibson, a comedic time-travel yarn in which Robin Hood and Little John travel to Dickensian London for a small-scale adventure with Ebenezer Scrooge and a goose that lays golden eggs." #booksky

@alixeharrow.bsky.social at her Harrowest. Characteristic visceral prose and razor-sharp dialogue. A powerful meditation on true love. Also futuristic mutants. A perfect entrée to the Harrowverse for the uninitiated and a superb appetizer for those of us awaiting release of The Everlasting.
The cover of Alix Harrow's The Knight and the Butcherbird, which features a suit of armor made from old tires surrounding a weird plant atop which sits a sweet little bird who isn't butchering anyone at all, at least at the moment.

A bookshelf showing a copy of a book called Enchanted Tales and Twisted Lore. The bookshelf also has a couple of cool dragons on it, and, in the background, leather-bound copies of The Lord of the Rings. There's also a copy of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True, which is the best book you've never read, and never will.

The fantastical cover of the book Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore, edited by Marx Pyle and J.C. Mastro. It features a spaceship flying through a dark and cloudy sky as well as a fairy tale castle in the distance, blue lightning splitting the sky above it. In the foreground, we see a bridge with brave heroes on it.

This is a masterful biography of a hugely influential ruler.

One fascinating aspect of Queen Vic is the fact that her family destroyed hundreds of her letters to conceal potentially embarrassing incidents. Who's to say what facts we don't know?

Me. That's who. Here are some I assume are true.

Just arrived: an advance copy of this fantastic new anthology, to which I contributed a story called, “What’s Good for the Goose…”

Wherein a time-displaced Robin Hood teams up with Ebenezer Scrooge to kidnap the Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs. Hijinks ensue.
Maybe we should do a giveaway… #booksky
