Happy Sunday Womble! Very tired today after first long hike of the year (a gorgeous 18km) yesterday. Enjoying Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie with my eyes, and just starting The Mercy of Gods by James SA Corey with my ears.
A lovely walk in the woods this afternoon, where there was a lot of hair frost just hanging out being glorious
Me: I shouldn’t request ARCs this year, I’m not reading or reviewing enough. Solaris:

I missed the fun yesterday but you bet I’m bouncing to hear about new US editions of the Dominion of the Fallen trilogy coming out next year. Fallen angels, a magical apocalypse, haunted Paris, politics and shapeshifting dragons collide in this atmospheric trilogy by @aliettedebodard.com
My next read is a Uruguayan dystopian novel about a woman trying to survive an ecological crisis: Pink Slime by Fernanda Trías
It wouldn't be #SpooktasticReads without 13 prompts to inspire our reading and blogging. @adancewithbooks.bsky.social has put together a brilliant set for us with some nods to this years #WyrdAndWonder maritime fantasy theme
Mystery bookpost! I have no idea who sent this to me, but they have great taste
Yesterday I hiked across moor and glen, enjoying dramatic skies and surprising wildlife. I’m raising funds to help support our most remote communities as part of the Great Wilderness Challenge - toss a coin to your blogger if you have one spare? greatwildernesschallenge.enthuse.com/pf/anna-chap...
The training hasn’t been a hardship given our recent weather (last night up at Abriachan Woods)
Very important message on the lunch truck today. We did our bit to make it true.
Happy Sunday Womble! Knackered after a glorious hike yesterday, but pushing through chores so I can curl back up with the excellent Planetfall by Emma Newman

Listening to Scarlett Mack narrate The Bone Diver by Angie Spoto on my drive today, and I am absolutely captivated
I had planned to post my first discussion today for our #ScifiMonth Neuromancer read-along. Unfortunately, concussion followed by a headcold means this will now be an informal buddy read - happily there's lively discussion and strong opinions happening in our Discord channel.
Today's #ScifiMonth2024 theme is Going Places so it's time to (re)introduce you to the FERMI and its adventures - the brainchild of @thebrainofchris.bsky.social, the FERMI is a hastily cobbled together FTL ship in search of a new planet that can survive its arrival (physics is a bitch) 1/4
Each time I pass through Singapore, I am haunted by the fear that her digital ghost will drag me step by protesting step towards that ominous door.
Repost with a favorite book from your childhood. 💙📚 (I don’t have a pic of my original Armada Lions edition)
Home from an excellent few days of geekery in good company. I seem to have come home with twice as many books as I left home with, and the itch to get back into my blogging habit. Thank you to everyone I got to share time with for making it a great con!
Ah, my role today is be the non-threatening person the Van Gogh visitors can ask what’s going on around them. The human disguise is clearly working 🐉 I don’t usually do pics online, but am wearing an excellent @tanaudel.bsky.social tee if you want to say hi!
I can do curious and marvellous? Have a tiny concrete “castle” on the far northwestern coast. Yes it is as small as it looks, but you can clamber inside if you try hard. It’s sort of awesome tho (apparently this is what architects do when they think nobody is watching)
You've been kidnapped; the characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I’m dead. Even if they manage to rescue me, I’ll probably die laughing along the way.
Her first book was Foxfire, Wolfskin and other stories of shapeshifting women, a collection of short mythical reimaginings that came out a couple of years back (another glorious cover - September Publishing are doing brilliantly)
Very exciting unexpected book post (note to self: tell publicist I moved house) which I am taking as an early birthday present from the universe. I loved Sharon Blackie’s mythical short stories, so I look forward to her first novel (set in the Highlands and everything!)
