I just finished reading Amusement Park Arcana by Jennifer R. Donohue, a delightfully creepy horror novella about friendship and transitions and eerie amusement parks. It's fast paced, easy to read, and spooky! #booksky #horror

I read Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame by Neon Yang. A sapphic story about a dragonslayer who lost herself trying to belong and the ruler of a country sympathetic to dragons. A wonderfully crafted tale that explores identity, love, and the armor we put on to protect ourselves. #booksky

Heeeeeeey everyone check out SNAFUcon! It's an anime convention happening in Reno in October. I'm going for the first time this year and so I'm excited. snafucon.com/registration #anime #convention #gaming #nerds #geeks

I read Invasive Species by Ellery Adams, narrated by Courtney Patterson. In 1980s Long Island, an affluent neighborhood grapples with jealousy, competition, and a species whose hunger may destroy everything else. Great if you dig classic 80s Real Housewives mixed with horror monsters! #booksky

I read Moss'd in Space by Rebecca Thorne, narrated in dual style by Natalie Naudus and Dylan Reilly Fitzpatrick. Cozy-adjacent scifi with a big focus on the friendship between a human pilot and a sentient moss/spaceship. #booksky

I read The Winter Folk by Jen Julian, which I received as a physical ARC copy in a random mystery box from Locus Magazine. It releases on July 21st in ebook, physical, and audiobook formats. Really recommend this if dark fantasy and fairytales are your vibe! #booksky

I read Is This a Cry for Help by Emily Austin, audiobook narrated wonderfully by Natalie Naudus. Contemporary literary fiction about a lesbian librarian who returns to work still grappling with grief over the death of a long lost ex. #booksky

I read Muñeca by Cynthia Gómez (narrated by Elena Rey and Frankie Corzo) and AAIIEE it was so good. Set in California in the 1960s: a queer working-class witch sets out to rescue a cursed rich woman for a big $$ payout... but things get deeper and darker than she planned! #booksky

Eeeeee my Dragon's Den pretties from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social have arrived!! I'm so excited. I am already planning to wear the necklace to a Paris Paloma concert I have tickets for in October.

While usually I read speculative fiction, I occasionally delve into contemporary romance that doesn't involve any fantasy or incredible or spooky elements. ;-) This just arrived and I'm excited to get into it! True to Your Boots by Lexie Sloane. #booksky

I read "Dead Weight" by Hildur Knútsdóttir, translated and narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal. Absolutely amazing novella about friendships we didn't even know we needed, the cleverness of cats, and getting away with literal murder. #booksky #deadweight #supportwomenswrongs

May reading summary! 8 short stories, 1 bigass anthology (that I've been working through for a couple months), 1 short story collection, 4 novels, 4 novellas. #booksky #thestorygraph

I read "Cabaret in Flames" by Hache Pueyo. Beautifully written novella set in an alternate future Brazil, where flesh eating guls stalk the night and manipulate an already corrupt and fascist government. #booksky

I read “Ignore All Previous Instructions” by Ada Hoffmann, audiobook narrated by Nancy Wu. A scifi story of neurodivergency, queerness, and yearning to be seen in a world that “politely” but insistently wishes you just didn’t exist. #booksky #IgnoreAllPreviousInstructions

I got around 6 hours of gameplay, although I went back in trying to get the remaining achievements then I think I'd get a couple more hours out of it.

I read Letters from the Last Apothecary by Bita Behzadi, audiobook narrated by Samara Naeymi and EM Wylde. I received an advance listening copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It is set to release on June 9 2026. SO. CUTE. #booksky #LettersfromtheLastApothecary #NetGalley

#TheStorygraph April reading wrap up! Five short stories, two novellas, seven novels. A couple disappointments but then some really amazing reads, so the average rating is still solid. #booksky

I read "Year of the Mer" by LD Lewis. Audiobook narrated by Janina Edwards. A dark and bloody and messy sequel (of sorts) to the Little Mermaid, where Arielle’s choices had consequences that echo down generations and across kingdoms. It's part 1 of a duology and ends on HARD cliffhanger! #booksky

I read Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker, narrated by Natalie Naudus. An interwoven story of two people, separated by centuries but linked by a house and the emotional impact of familial trauma. Who's dead, what's real, and what the hell is going on in this house? Creepy, mysterious, emotional.

I read "Sister Maiden Monster" by Lucy A. Snyder. Audiobook narrated in dual style by Katherine Littrell, Lindsay Dorcus, and Arielle DeLisle. This is a pandemic zombiepocalypse novel which takes a sharp turn into cosmic horror, using close-in stories of three women experiencing these events.

I read *The Hounding* by Xenobe Purvis, audiobook narrated by Olivia Vinall. Set in a small England village during the 18th century, the book focuses on five sisters who become the target of town gossip because they don't behave the way that society thinks they ought. #booksky

I read Wolf Worm by T.Kingfisher, audiobook narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal. Horror novel set in the early 1900s in a small North Carolina town. *Classic* Kingfisher vibe and protagonist. Content warning for bugs. So many bugs. Especially necrophagous/carnivorous ones. Don't read while eating?

I read Seasons of Glass and Iron by Amal El-Mohtar, narrated by Rachel Elizabeth Smith. This is a short story collection of works previously released elsewhere over the years (and a couple poems as well). I'd read two already, but the rest were all to me. Loved it. LOVED! #booksky

I read I Love You Don't Die by Jade Song, audiobook narrated by Catherine Ho. This book is a "slice of life" style story focusing on a woman who spends her life obsessed with death. Most of the book is told from her point of view, with occasional chapters from major people in her life. #booksky

I read Nine Goblins by T.Kingfisher, audiobook narrated by A delightful fantasy novella set in the midst of an inter-species war over territory. A group of goblins have unexpectedly found themselves trapped far behind human enemy lines (there was a wizard involved).

I read Their Heart a Hive by Fox N. Locke! Gothic historical YA fantasy, set in a queernormative world inspired by Cornish folklore and classic works such as Dracula and Beauty & Beast. There are themes of self-imposed isolation/withdrawal, found family, and cultural/societal mores. #booksky
