When you as the author "love triangle" so hard you have to think for a second to remember who caught feelings for whom in this quote. 🤌🏽😚
When you "paranormal" so hard you have to remind yourself which demon asked the question in the first place. 😈
I'm so glad we're all having a fun time here. 🤣

We are getting a 4th book! But I do appreciate that you had faith in me all the way to 91%! 😂🙌🏽
I was out of the loop. I’m 92% done with @tracydeonn.bsky.social ‘s Oathbound and I was like “Man, there’s a lot to address before I finish this journey” I was not aware we were getting a book 4. This also makes sense because I was like how are we gonna tackle all these points in like 4 chapters?

Dear @tracydeonn.bsky.social
I didn't think you could top Legendborn. But Bloodmarked did. I have a feeling this is going to continue for however many books you plan to put in the Legendborn Cycle.
Thank you.

I finished #Oathbound and I just... 👏👏👏
I *get* why Bree needed this book. I love how every single book impacts not only what comes next, but also what came before. I cannot wait to reread so many scenes in books 1 and 2 with this *new* knowledge.

Not sharing many (if any) LB4 teases at this moment but just know Valec is one of my most favorite creations ever.
Hi @tracydeonn.bsky.social! Will we potentially learn more about Valec's backstory in LB4? Those last few chapters of OB opened us up to so much more about him and his history.

Ahhh! Thank you for reading! I struggle with writing fight scenes, so this is nice to hear. 😂
@tracydeonn.bsky.social I just want to say that Legendborn really helped restore my love of reading. Plus, you write a hell of a fight scene. I tell everyone I know to read you. Thank you for such a beautiful story ❤️

🙌🏽🙌🏽 Love it when folks say they loved it more on the reread(s). That's the hope!
I just recently reread Legendborn & Bloodmarked by @tracydeonn.bsky.social in preparation for Oathbound’s release on March 4th, and the takeaway? I loved it even more the second time around. I forgot how queer it was and how expertly it navigates themes of grief, racism, and identity. #booksky

It's truly the way to do it with this book! My team and I spent several weeks trying to figure out how to talk about OATHBOUND without spoilers and it's actually pretty impossible. We really did try! It's also much harder to avoid spoilers for LEGENDBORN and BLOODMARKED now.
I think we just want no spoilers to go into it fully blind and ready!! ;) Either way, we are excited and I pre-ordered it months ago!

Jason Low, Lee & Low Books, says that the Diversity Baseline Survey has enabled conversations and decision-making that couldn’t happen without that data. He considered skipping the last survey cycle amid a hectic 2023, but he didn’t because people were asking for it.

I must have accomplished some sort of elite level of author distrust with my readership because no one has asked me to confirm whether this *is* in fact Sel's storyline in Oathbound!! And at this point we're way too close to pub for me to confirm or deny so? I'm just gonna smile and shrug I guess??
@tracydeonn.bsky.social I’ve just realised that Sel is going to be reunited with his mother in Oathbound because of Bree’s deal. I don’t think I am emotionally ready for that.

I have to say...seeing so many readers asking about midnight release parties for OATHBOUND has got me all up in my feelings. Each time I see a new post or get tagged in one, my chest gets tight and my eyes get all watery. Thank you.

African Americans have way longer family histories in America than a lot of the white Americans who are descended from that 19th century & early 20th century Ellis Island type immigration. My recorded lineage in America predates its independence. If we talking birthright citizenship now.
