In light of recent acquisitions announcements (inc. @gen-dimova.bsky.social and @davegoodman.bsky.social !) we thought now would be a good time to remind you of our Solaris authors starter pack, where you can find all of the wonderful authors who have made it over to the Blue Side all in one place!
Thank you! And ooft, that's a hard question. I think they've all been difficult to write in different ways (but also fun in different ways)!
Slowly taking over the Solaris list ๐

Oh I've looked that up before, apparently it's "jai" (rhyming with "die") in Scotland because that was the original pronunciation, borrowed from French.

think I'm going to re-read Foul Days (The Witch's Compendium of Monsters #1) by @gen-dimova.bsky.social
such a great duology and is set during these days of winter. Slavic folklore and an East Bloc vibe, a witch fights monsters loose in the walled off city of Belograd during the unblessed days
You want my top ten favorite books I read this year? How about my top ten movies? Top ten games?
You got it. Made all three lists and made one giant rack of positivity for your solstice pleasure. Come celebrate great art with me.
