Black Salt Queen book and multicolor macarons decorated with Hawks, Flowers, Gold Crocodiles, and character names.

Of Monsters and Mainframes book and multicolor macarons decorated with spider drones, spaceships, monsters and character names.

The Unmapping book and multicolor macarons decorated with NYC images, Christmas trees, and character names.

Crueler Mercies book and multicolor macarons decorated with gold coins, crows, the main character's face and character names.

I made macarons for all four of the @binderybooks.bsky.social spring releases 💙📚!!!! They turned out so good!!! #booksky

Back to the Bindery books—and a sapphic one—is Crueler Mercies by Maren Chase! I only knew this as sapphic revenge story and it is that and so much more. I had a blast and I love that it’s a standalone. 4.5⭐️!! #booksky

They look so satisfying all lined up together @binderybooks.bsky.social thanks for keeping them all the same dimensions
I’ve got some reading to do!!

GORGEOUS!

Two bindery books in a row? I swear, I didn't plan this; I'm just gravitating towards what looks interesting. Who wouldn't be interested in a horror comedy SFF retelling of Dracula?

Three books sit on a wooden windowsill. From left to right House of Frank by Kay Synclaire Inferno's Heir by Tiffany Wang The Unmapping by Denise Robbins

💙📚 Today, I got some #bookmail! 🤩 I've had my eye on two of these for a bit. The Umapping sold me me into making the purchase. I love the heft that these have. Something about the tactile nature of these.

Grade A #BookReview: Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove My Review: The spiderbots should have been the first clue - because they’re RENFIELDs. But I’ll admit that I didn’t get it - or at least didn’t believe I got it - until Demeter went through her cargo manifest and I caught the names of the companies to whom that initial cargo belonged. Names like Holmwood, Billington and Morris - not to mention poor Captain Harker Jones and Mina Murray.

What did you get!!

I said I wouldn't visit the bookstore when I went grocery shopping today.

Well, guess what.

I came home with two new books.

But this time, they're both from a small press called @binderybooks.bsky.social, and I was pleasantly surprised to see them on the shelf - so of course, I had to buy them.

How many of my eACS can I get through this month?

Books Featured: The Raven Scholar A Song of Legends Lost The Knight and the Moth We Can Never Leave Flight of the Fallen Wild Reverence Fallen City The Nightshade God The Staircase in the Woods The Unmapping

My toxic trait as a book worm is creating unrealistic reading goals, especially those spurred on by pithy alliteration. Hence, this months TBR, better known as
ARC READ APRIL! I’ve got allll of these stacked/queued up and ready to go. Which review do you all want to see first? #booksky

I got these enamel pins made for Mareas and The Unmapping. The plan is to send perk packages to my members every season, and they’ll get to collect pins for each release.

I also crocheted two styles of bookmarks for every one and got stickers of our most used custom emojis in our Discord. 💕 🌱

Storygraph stats, including number of books read, genres, and my 2025 reading goal

I thought I would get to one more book but alas February had other plans for me so I’m calling it a wrap.

Here are the sapphic books I read this month! #booksky

between CRUELER MERCIES and THE STARVING SAINTS, 2025 is the year of "lesbians involved in a siege"

I won this kindle edition in a GR giveaway in January and I just got around to reading it and the MAGIC the YEARNING the HEARTBREAK the BETRAYAL the WLW… will likely be buying a physical copy when it’s released in June. Black Salt Queen by Samantha Bansil, you have me in a chokehold

Cover of Black Salt Queen

“When, at last, he’d kissed her goodbye, every inch of his body whined in protest.”

Yesss! That’s what we want to see! YEARN!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
