Kimberley is sitting in front of a bookshelf filled with various books. Kimberley is wearing glasses, a striped shirt, denim overalls, and has their hair styled in two twists, framing her face and a small afro puff. She's holding three books in her hands and smiles at the camera. The books they are holding are:

1. Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
2. To Steal a Bride by Daniela A. Mera
3. How We End by L.M. Juniper

The bookshelf behind Kimberley contains a diverse collection of books.
There are also some decorative items on the shelves, such as a cat plush and Funko Pop figures.

The vampires in my series are diverse. We start off with elegant, aristocratic Blood Mages, but that's only the veneer. Slowly, we unveil the rot underneath, the hunger that turns man into beast as vampires are born, and we don't stop there.

Interested? The story starts in MISTRESS OF LIES.

Cover for Mistress of Lies by K. M. Enright, The Sunday Times bestseller. Black cover, with a scowling long-haired woman in a Gothic style red and gold headdress and brocade sleeves like wings against a background of red and white roses. Her hands are tipped in gold claws and she holds a long dagger. Blurbs from Melissa Caruso — “Dark, dangerous, and entrancing” — and Sara Hashem — “A decadent story that won’t let you go.”

For the Filipino readers overseas who are looking to support Filipino authors, I started compiling a list of titles that can be purchased internationally, and I'm always open to more recs! ☺️

Also looking for bookclubs and bookstores, as well as authors w/ Patreon, Ko-fi or Kickstarter. 💙📚 #BookSky

I might throw my book across the room, cackle, and then pick up the book to continue reading.

Just a reminder that Freydis Moon's new book is going to released tomorrow and that they are NOT Latinx or Mexican. They are a serial Brownfisher who loves to appropriate and steal from BIPOC people and be a cyberbully on top of that.

Please give your money to real Latinx Authors instead.

Was instinctively driven to draw a goddess ordering pizza and wings on doordash. It needed to exist

Illustration of a pink pastel cloud goddess leisurely ordering food on her phone in her room. The room is modern but lightly rococo themed, with fast food oil paintings on the wall, a drink fridge and food stickers. There is a coffee cup, flowers and a vinyl record player on the table. It's night-ish with a full moon. Drawn by gdbeeart Sept 2025

Waking up and seeing that I got approved on Netgalley for an ARC of Our Vicious Oaths by @niadavenport.bsky.social is definitely a great way to start the week 🤩

💙📚 🪐📚 🌍📚

#netgalley #ourviciousoaths

Book cover of Our Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport.
Purple Vines and flowers on a black backdrop. A gold dragon is flying above the title.

Blurb:
Enter a new world of romantic fantasy from award-winning author N.E. Davenport—a journey of powerful magic, enemies-to-lovers, and political intrigue—as a warrior-princess and a vengeful king from rival fae courts form a fierce alliance to take down a merciless despot.

Princess of the Aether Dominion, Kadeesha wants nothing to do with fae politics. She is a warrior, first and foremost, and believes her greatest strength is leading her squadron of elite winged serpent flyers to protect her homeland. But bound since infancy to be betrothed to the Hyperion High King, ruler of all Dominions, she has no choice but to do what men have chosen for her.

Repulsed by the idea, she decides to spend one last night of freedom—in the arms of a dangerous stranger who takes her to sexual heights she’s never experienced before…but who is only using Kadeesha to set a trap for the High King.

For the High King and the kings of his six Dominions were responsible for the decimation of the Apollyon Court, and its new king, Malachi, wants his pounds of flesh.

On Kadeesha’s wedding day, Malachi and his special forces attack. Her father is killed, and Malachi wounds the High King, ultimately taking Kadeesha as hostage back to his land.

But she is no true hostage. The two form a pact: she will help lure the High King so Malachi can kill him once and for all, and he in turn will not harm Kadeesha or the Aether people. And as much as Kadeesha hates politics, she is now the Queen of her folk. Fae bonds are unbreakable…and so, perhaps, is the attraction Kadeesha and Malachi feel for each other. For even as they must publicly display their connection to provoke the High King’s jealousy, they struggle to resist the powerful allure between them in order to achieve their ultimate goals.

Ruim een derde van de Nederlanders met een Oost-Aziatische achtergrond ervaart discriminatie. Toch is er pas vorig jaar uitgebreid onderzoek naar gedaan, terwijl dat bij andere minderheden veel eerder gebeurde. ’Mensen snappen niet dat ‘sambal bij’ geen onschuldig grapje is.’

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
