Got my Black history book finished just in time this year. This one's chock full of incredible stories of individuals who risked everything to help us all move forward. Did you know Harriet Tubman LED A SPY RING DURING THE CIVIL WAR? Amazing.⚡️📚💙 #reading #writing #UShistory #blackhistorymonth
This book proves that less can be more. Stripped-down prose and a framing device hidden until the end make this a great read about two amoral scoundrels in terrible love. ⚡️📚💙

Historical issues aside, great writing. First section is a study in creating sympathy for characters. Then comes masterful dramatic irony: the culprits WILL be caught but the tension comes from HOW? Then a meditation on mortality. Classic for a reason.

A very kind review of my debut novel from a book blogger. You can purchase the book here: buff.ly/LEEZ2un and read the full review here: buff.ly/EHHjliM #booktok #novels #reviews #author #writing #writingcommunity ⚡️📚💙
Read some Marquez in the original Spanish. This book is about a terrible event that only happened because a whole village of people found excuses for inaction. A timely message for Americans today.⚡️📚💙
Housesitting means I get to raid someone else's books, yay! This book that inspired the 2020 film is heartbreaking, frustrating and hopeful. Wealth inequality has turned huge swaths of Americans into itinerate workers that can be readily exploited.⚡️📚💙

Writers are often told to treat setting as another character in a story. Few books I've read embody that idea more than this one. Hard to imagine this tale playing out anywhere other than where it does. The theater kid in me ate this up. ⚡️📚💙

If you like your humor dark black with no cream or sugar, here's the book for you. I loved it. The sparse prose makes the comedy really pop. Moments of real emotion ground the whole experience. Absolutely great book. ⚡️📚💙

One upside of sobriety has been rereading books I read years ago when I was drunk all the time. This was sent to me by a friend a while ago. It's a great exploration of the different types of love, as well as an interesting take on the creative process. ⚡️📚💙

Interesting thoughts on writing here. My favorite: a well-written novel TEACHES readers how to read it.
Wood: "...novels tend to fail... when the novel in question has failed to teach us how to adapt to its conventions."
What makes a novel fall flat?⚡️📚💙

An absolute classic. A celebration of the quiet, small beauties of everyday life. Interesting to see how sentence structure has shifted in the century since its release. I defy anyone to read this book and not fall in love with Selina DeJong.⚡️📚💙

Such a fun read! Tilford takes your favorite fantasy tropes and turns them on their heads with hilarious results. The story teems with interesting re-imaginings of familiar fantasy creatures and the exact type of meta-humor about genre and story structure that this reader eats up with a spoon. If Douglas Adams had turned his sights on Fantasy instead of Sci-Fi, this book would have been the result. Highly recommend!

Me standing holding a copy of Death of a Billionaire by Tucker May.
Last read of 2025 was Death of a Billionaire by @tuckermaymysteries.bsky.social Mystery isn't my usual genre, but I really enjoyed this fun ride. Tucker added enough twists, turns, and fake-outs, to keep me guessing until the very end.

Few writers capture Americana like Chabon. Here he layers on fantasy elements for a rollicking kid's journey. A great example of how to use a character's "flaw" to save the day in a satisfying way. ⚡️📚💙

Fun book from a fellow indie author! Gotta love some sci-fi satire. Relatable protagonist drives interstellar hijinx under the thumb of corporate overlords. Had me rooting hard right from the get-go. Pick up a copy! Support indie authors!⚡️📚💙

Hardboiled as a novel gets. Barroom brawl of a book. Sprawling mystery. Masterclass in tonal writing. Word choice, sentence structure so specific it's astounding they're maintained all the way thru. A real bruiser.⚡️📚💙

Raven Black: a reminder that pivotal scenes should be presented to readers directly. A reveal via character dialogue can fall flat. Let the reader live it as the character does, don't tell us about it later on⚡️📚💙

Writing break last night to see the annual Krampus comedy show a friend puts on -- this year featuring a LIVE FREAKING GOAT!
Hard to find a fresh take on superheros, but V.E. Schwab managed it. A dark, personal story rather than a Marvel world-ender is refreshing. This book does for superheros what Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell did for magic. ⚡️📚💙

Oh no! A severed head! This was at the book release party for my debut novel Death of a Billionaire, which you can pick up here if you're so inclined: a.co/d/2XTdsup No human beings were harmed in the making of this video. ⚡️📚💙

If you’re in the market for a quick and engaging whodunnit, Death of a Billionaire will be perfect for you!

Gotta love a book with breakneck plotting. Scythe rips through several story events that a lesser author might have milked for an entire novel. Instead, Shusterman fearlessly steers us through a fast-paced journey with ever-raising stakes⚡️📚💙

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my work!
Just reviewed @tuckermaymysteries.bsky.social 's debut novel DEATH OF A BILLIONAIRE. Spoiler alert: I loved it. www.bibliotica.com/2025/11/revi...
A book with numerous deaths. A reminder that deaths mean NOTHING in a story unless the readers connect with the character. Even if you don't like the character, the writer can make you UNDERSTAND them and the death will hit hard ⚡️📚💙

Here, an off-the-wall plot is anchored by an interesting underlying message. Offspring of legendary fictional figures clean up the messes made by their famous fathers. A creative, fun critique of the "Great Man" theory of history ⚡️📚💙
