A hand holding up a library book. The title of surrounded by an embroidery pattern of roses and leaves on a black background, with the text in gold in the center. The title reads "As Many Souls as Stars" and the author is listed as Natasha Siegel at the top.

Good morning! I need to pick my next book today but I just finished As Many Souls as Stars by Natasha Siegel and it blew me away. Just scratched all my particular book itches.

A sapphic dark fantasy about a Faustian deal and a cat-and-mouse game spanning multiple lifetimes.

A render of the book "The Thorns We Wear Inside", on a brown patterned background. The book features a red bloodied rose and thorns, lingering over a pair of gray figures of women reaching toward each other but not quite touching. Below the book is the text "November 2026 from DAW Books"

A digital painting showing two profile portraits in gold frames. One is a paper, angular woman with long black hair looking wistful, and the other is a rosy-skinned woman with brown hair in a braid, smiling softly. They are looking at each other. Text around the frames reads "you are monstrous, and you are glorious, and you are mine."

Meet Mir and Raye from my upcoming sapphic, gothic fantasy THE THORNS WE WEAR INSIDE. 👀

Coming in November from @dawbooks.bsky.social

For fans of For the Wolf and Nettle & Bone comes a dark, romantic fantasy about a witch, a monster, & the two demons who’ll stop at nothing to keep them apart.

That's stunning!

I got to meet her once at a writing convention and was embarrassingly flustered lol 😅

Grief Eater|eBook Visceral, gritty, and unforgiving, GRIEF EATER is a zombie story like you've never read before. When Kristina rises from her violent death, she's not the same fragile woman her family once abandoned. ...

Hell yes, my debut novella GRIEF EATER is now live on Barnes and Noble for pre-orders!

I would greatly appreciate any help in spreading the word. Thank you!

A watercolor painting in moody grey-greens, rich indigo, and magenta. It depicts a fae hunting party riding through a smoky moonlit forest towards an eerie red lake. The hunters ride deer-like creatures, and are accompanied by stark white hounds with red heads and long ears. A host of small green glowing pixies trail along

A photo of the book Hungerstone by Kat Dunn, resting on a wooden table. The cover features the title and author name in lime green, with an antique-looking painting of a woman in a white dress lying on a bed, her upper half hanging partway off the bed.

Just finished this one and wow. Definitely an early candidate for fave read of the year.

I'm always here for Carmilla retellings and this is an excellent one.

Bloody, menacingly seductive, and filled with rage, this one will stick with me.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about FATE'S BANE by C.L. Clark. A fantasy novella in a world of feuding clans and sinking swamps, this potent lesbian love story is a barbed and gutting sawblade. Powerful work! Our drink is the Fen, a peaty perfectly balanced treat.

The cover of MAKE ME BETTER features a feminine figure in the middle of a series of distorted concentric rings. The field is black, and the lettering, figure, and rings are all in bright hypercolor. Will Staehle is the artist who created this and I would die in battle for him

MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.

Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.

It comes out in May.
