Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

“The Haunting of William Thorn” is cruel, it’s raw, and it depicts two men at their worst in life. William is lost, and he finds himself guilty for what happened to Archie. It is a very beautiful and brutal story of love and loss. Thank you so much @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social and Netgalley ❤️

O meu novo livro, "Portugal de Morte a Sul", sai a 4 de setembro pela Quetzal: www.quetzaleditores.pt/produtos/fic...

É um guia de últimas viagens, como diz ali tão bem na capa, ou um registo de passeatas várias por cemitérios, capelas dos ossos, relicários, e museus com esqueletos no armário 🧵

I don't even know how an author has money to hire editors/proofreaders or artists for that many books 😅 I could do publish maybe two books in a year? I work full time as a QA analyst with a 9-6 job 🫠 it pays really good money so I don't even know how I could work, write and do other things 😅

"Luxuries of lust" is both charming, funny and somber in its themes ❤️ Totally recommend it!

Adeselna Reads @adeselnareads.bsky.social · Jun 24

Want a book with both plot and smut starting from the first page? 😏
I got you ❤️

“The Jack*ss in Class” is adorable and another amazing book in the Kingman’s series, totally worth reading it for the chaos, the feelings and the laughs!

30 books + a lot of KU options!
It may be the first month where queer books outnumbered the mf one, but don't quote me on that 😅

"Hounded: Ashes to Ashes" is just a punch in your feelings and it’s one of those books that no matter what I write, it needs to be read, it needs to be felt!

Thank you @cquinnwrite.bsky.social for the ARC ❤️
