In which I reflect on the sff community, inspired by Sunday's @sfsfsocial.bsky.social event. "We’re living a love letter together, and achieving far more that way than we could alone."

Book haul from today's excellent @sfsfsocial.bsky.social event - a wide variety I'm excited to read, from big fantasy adventures to the haunting & folklore-filled.
Five books in a pile - Abraxus Elijah Hiney by Ella Ruby Self; Fight Like a Girl edited by Roz Clarke and Joanne Hall; Never Die by Rob J Hayes; Lavondyss and Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock.

The nerd in me has found my people in events like this.

Hoping to really get stuck in with more SFF events at places like Patriot Games 😍

Supporting inclusive places like this is important!
