Not in the least surprising :)

Been waiting quite a while for more Patrick Ness. Glad to be back in the world of the Chaos Walking series.

Could not be more excited that this is finally in my hands. Grim Oak Press continuing to bring the most exciting voices in SFF together year after year. Now to impatiently wait for the 2026 volume…

To celebrate the release of Steel Gods, Richard Swan (Empire of the Wolf, The Great Silence) is sitting down with the wonderful Kell Woods (After the Forest, Upon a Starlit Tide) at the Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney.

If you haven’t sampled it yet, or any of Seanan/Mira Grant’s work - just do yourself that small flavour. You’ll have no regrets.

Never enough! Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series continues with its 11th instalment. Immediately reading it this weekend.

Haha… Father Material ;) That’s always an option for number 4 though

Boyfriend Material was fun. But Husband Material was somehow both boring and exhausting. And I think now a third in the series is about to come out. Just hoping it picks back up.

There’s still time to back it!

Did I get this just for the extra short story…? Well, yeah.

The Great Silence won't silence me. Steel Gods is an absolute unsettling blast and Goldsboro has done this edition right.

TBB matching Strife to their Children of Time editions, and it is glorious.

Been missing some Richard Morgan, and No Man's Land seems to be ticking all my boxes. Halfway through, and really enjoying it. Thanks to @goldsborobooks.bsky.social for the signed copy.

The much anticipated follow-up in the Children of Time series. Can’t wait to dive into Strife once I’ve done a proper reread of the first three. Thanks to Goldsboro for the signed edition.

Well, well, well… if it isn’t another indie stack - this time though, deluxe edish.

Find your next indie pub this Easter weekend and show indie authors some love.

Another day, another Daughter of Crows edition. This time from The Locked Library. Job done right 🔥

Another @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social entry joins the shelf, straight to the top of the TBR - what a way to start the week. Daughter of Crows - I am, again, all in. Been collecting Mark’s work long enough for this to feel like a perfectly shaped piece falling into place. So ready for this one.

Finally got my hands on the Subterranean Press edition of Alien Clay. Time for a reread.

Deserved

The Winds of War, by Mosha Winter - Broken Binding edition. Simply stunning. I like ‘em big, I like ‘em chunky. Perfect. 👌🏻

6 days to go for the Steel Gods release. You ain't ready! But you can get ready by preordering

It's a 5 ⭐️ read. My full review is up on Goodreads.

The cover art is also never not on point!

Backed :)

@starsandsabers.bsky.social

David Gemmell (theme) + Newcon Press + Adrian Tchaikovsky… no brainer.

Okay… HYPE at stratospheric levels!

The Blue Boy has landed! Woohoo 💙

6 down, only 1 to go 🔥

And look at ‘em all snugged into their cases ;)

@inkstonebooks.bsky.social and @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social make a good pair :)

An anthology of fantastical tales that inspired the creation of DnD.

This was genuinely equal parts insightful and fun. If you love DnD, you should give it at go. There’s something here for everyone.

It’s been long enough without some new Ashton to read. I’m so glad this got here today. A nice way to bookend a Sunday.

In anticipation of the release of Daughter of Crows later this month, here’s a delightfully nostalgic Mark Lawrence flat lay.
