📬 Recently @worthog.bsky.social blew my tiny little mind when learned there were books related to S.M. Stirling’s “Island in the Sea of Time” trilogy, which I read in 2014.

There are 15+ books in “Emberverse” series, but I got book1️⃣

A paperback edition of Frank Schätzing’s “The Swarm” sat on a table.

A paperback edition of Frank Schätzing’s “The Swarm” stood on its side on a table with the spine facing up. It’s a used edition so the spine has been cracked in multiple places. It’s also a hefty chonk of a tome, clocking in at almost 900pages!

📬 “The Swarm“ by Frank Schätzing is one of @theshadesoforange.bsky.social’s favourite recs that I see on the #BookTube channel.

I’ve had this chonky ~900pg brick wish-listed as I couldn’t readily find it here 🇬🇧 I check WoB intermittently and saw it.

📬 I recently saw @fairygrrl97.bsky.social RT @quitebrief.bsky.social 👇 regarding “Finder” by @zanzjan.bsky.social. Heists! 🤗

At the time I couldn’t see it over here 🇬🇧 but spotted while checking WoB recently. So in I swooped for a used MMP edition.

📬 Being a fan of both Stephen Baxter and Alastair Reynolds, @andyjohnson.xyz’s blog caught my attention when it drew me to an Arthur C. Clarke short story that precedes a collab. of theirs.

I located it within a mahoosive chonk of a collection 🫣

📬 Recently @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com had a few minutes to offer some book recs. I supplied my #StoryGraph generated reader summary & received a suggestion of Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s “The Dumas Club”.

This is well outside my comfort zone!

📬 I’ve already got quite the Stephen Baxter collection of books on my shelves, but while comparing shelfies with @scifiscavenger.bsky.social I noticed a book that I didn’t have 😳 “The Massacre of Mankind” - a sequel to “The War of the Worlds”.

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #NovemberBookHaul 📦

📬 IIRC, “The Silverblood Promise” by @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social first bubbled into my view via @petrikleo.bsky.social on #BookTube. Then again more recently by BookTube’s Bemuzed Bookworm.

It’s finally here in paperback format for me to haul!

⚔️ #FantasyBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #NovemberBookHaul 📦

📬 Next out of the box is Nina Allan’s “The Rift”, which @scifiscavenger.bsky.social picked via ‘The Dice of Destiny’ for his November TBR.

The initial summary caught my ear and it seemed to go down well too, so I fancied a swoop. As one does 🤗

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #NovemberBookHaul 📦

📬 It has taken a long, long wait, but I finally have my paperback edition of @aptshadow.bsky.social’s “Alien Clay”

I remember when @dominishbooks.bsky.social scored an ARC edition many, many moons ago, back in October 2023 apparently 😱

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #NovemberBookHaul 📦

📬 I read this summary of @jolantru.bsky.social’s “Star Pattern Traveller” the other day and thought to myself I should give it a whirl 🤔

And lo, look what arrived today! Fancy! 🤭🤗🤩

It’s a small wee thing so I will pop it on an upcoming themed pile.

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #NovemberBookHaul 📦

📬 When @dominishbooks.bsky.social had no idea what to read one month a while back he asked his Patrons to pick some.

I suggested Amber Toro’s “Umbra” so he could let me know if it might be something for me to try 😈

And he read it. So I hauled it! 🤗

A used paperback edition of Frederik Pohl’s “The Annals of the Heechee” sat on a table.

The spine of the book facing up to show off its condition.

The back of the newly arrived used paperback book, “The Annals of the Heechee”. THE ASSASSINS HAVE RETURNED ... Robinette Broadhead, the protagonist of the previous Heechee novels, is now a computer- stored intelligence; many others have joined him in this state, and they find the 'normal' humans to be impossibly slow and ponderous. A watch is stil being kept on the area-of Space from whence the Assassins, whose purpose seems to be to wipe out intelligent life wherever they find it, are known to originate. And then an alarm sounds ... Once again, Robin is called on to save Mankind and Heechee alike, via the deep-space home of the Assassin Watch. Frederik Pohl, one of the creators of modern science fiction, has written a stunning conclusion to his best-known series.

📬 I received a copy of @jeremyszal.bsky.social’s “Broken Stars” in today’s #BookMail!

It’s not often that I’ve read a short story collection, but this joins a small handful that I can recall 🤗

🚀 #SciFiBooks 📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #NovemberBookHaul 📦

📬 I recently thoroughly enjoyed reading @tomlloydwrites.bsky.social’s “Moon’s Artifice”. So obviously I went ahead and swooped on another of his series, “The Twilight Reign”. All of them! (I think 🤞)

It’s amazing how this keeps happening to me ☺️😆

I’d seen mention of this book prior to its release, but it was listening in on a Blog Tour with @nssecretbookaholic.bsky.social that first peaked my interest.
