Unfortunately, I'm having to take a break from long-form reviews, but I have a few books I'm slated to review that I'd like to shout about, starting with "Who Will You Save?," a collection of short stories by @garethlpowell.bsky.social from @titanbooks.bsky.social . #sff #booksky

Stayed up late finishing 'Daughter of the Otherworld' by @shaunalawless.bsky.social.
A great transition into a new era of the Gael Song saga.
I'm so invested in these characters' lives, it's almost painful. Once again, the end has left me hanging out for more! #booksky @headofzeus.bsky.social

I'm AFK at the moment, so can't write a full review of "The Damned King" but I can report that @justinleeanderson.com has smashed it out of the park again. Such good characters and a great story with a dastardly villain!
Please don't leave us waiting for book 4. I have to know! #booksky

It's my turn on the blog tour for Seven Recipes for Revolution by Ryan Rose from @daphnepress.bsky.social
"Paprick is a common butcher, carving slabs of meat from gargantuan monsters so elite chefs can prepare magic-granting meals for the rich." If that premise doesn't intrigue you, nothing will!

My most hotly anticipated book of 2025 has arrived! Sent to me by @orbitbooks.bsky.social
@justinleeanderson.com's "Eidyn Saga" has been the best fantasy series I've read in years. I dropped my current read, and dived straight in. Pictured with my new agave bookstand!

Yesterday's book post saw the arrival of 'Acts of God' by Kanan Gill, sent to me by @blackstonepub.bsky.social. Its philosophical underpinnings look to chime with today's book post, 'Circular Motion' by Alex Foster from @atlanticbooks.bsky.social #booksky Very much looking forward to reading both!

A full review to come, but I wanted to stop by to say that "Kill Them With Kindness" by @willcarver.bsky.social is such an amazing read. So many themes and ideas mixed up in an enthralling plot. It's out on 19/6 from @orendabooks.bsky.social
Oddly, no yellow in the garden but here's a clematis!

@walkerbooksuk.bsky.social have kindly sent me proof of Alex Horne's "The Last Pebble," a story about grandparents. My dad has passed on, but he instilled in me an interest, which is becoming a passion for gardening. I'm nowhere near his level, but on some days it looks pretty fine! #booksky

@aptshadow.bsky.social is back in June, with 'Bee Speaker.'
This series is my favorite of his. Amazing world-building and absorbing stories.
The bee speaker in this picture is one of the many aquilegia in my garden.
Many thanks to @headofzeus.bsky.social for sending me a copy of the book!
