(Mostly) Human Resources

Grace Viall

A debut slow-burn work-nemesis romance set in a world where cryptids and monsters are a part of life . . . and someone has to do the paperwork. Working in human resources was not what Alexys had in mind when she joined Entity, the private company that categorizes and manages the world’s cryptids. But after her dad was killed on the job as a Warden in the Appalachian Mountains, she was filled with noble ideas of carrying on his legacy . . . from the safety of a desk. Alexys dreams of climbing the corporate ladder while managing the Appalachian Wardens and sparring with Nic, the frustrating (and annoyingly attractive) Director of Research and Cataloging. When one of Alexys’s new Wardens goes missing after inquiring about a mysterious and highly dangerous monster, her chances of promotion disappear along with him. Determined to save her career—and to shield the Warden’s family from the trauma she experienced after losing her father on the job—she marches off into the monster-infested wilderness to find him herself. Meanwhile, Nic, with ambitions of becoming the youngest Entity employee to discover a new monster, follows Alexys on her hunt. But the work nemeses are about to discover why the Appalachian Mountains are the last place you want to find yourself after dark. Among mountains older than bones, the jackalopes and ghouls are the least of their worries . . .

The Lion and the Deathless Dark

Carissa Broadbent

From New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent returns with a brand new novel in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, The Lion & the Deathless Dark – the first book in the Bloodborn Duet. Some blood tastes like vengeance. Some blood tastes like grief. Some blood tastes like nothing at all. Under an eternal night, the world has been ravaged by ten years of war between humans and vampires. Kyrene scrapes by as a bounty hunter, bearing a blessed sword from the goddess of justice. But in the wake of a devastating loss, Kyrene commits a crime that makes her a target for mortals and gods alike – and she is still desperate for vengeance. Her only chance at survival – and revenge – is making a deal with her enemy, the silver-tongue vampire prince, Septimus, who offers her one final to slay the gods themselves. Together, Kyrene and Septimus must hunt the ultimate marks, all while navigating a web of prophecies and curses. Septimus is calculating and mysterious, masking secrets bloodthirsty enough to consume them both. Yet, most dangerous of all, Kyrene finds an unexpected kinship in him. But their growing attraction is deadly in a world where the only currency is blood. And Kyrene will stop at nothing to fulfill her ultimate to kill the goddess of vampires, even if it means sacrificing love for revenge.

A thread just to vibe together

I know there's been a lot of feelings going around over the past few days, so in the spirit of building community (and because I'm at home today!), I wanted to offer a thread just to chat and vibe because I love the community here and I want it to be a place where people can just feel free to be themselves. SO!

Send me a heart and you will get:

❤️ A compliment/shoutout/affirmation 🧡 A completely random question 💛 A completely random fact 💚 An encouragement or virtual hug (feel free to specific what you want encouragement for!) 💙 A book recommendation (let me know your preferred genre) 💜 A book-related discussion (will try and go off your currently reading or My Taste but if I don't know those books, may just be more of a general book-related topic)

🌞 Solar Eclipse 🌙

Later today, August 12, around 17:47 UTC, a solar eclipse will occur with the path of totality covering Greenland, Iceland and Spain. A partial eclipse, covering around 90% of the sun, will be visible in most of Europe, North and West Africa, and northern North America.

Who is planning to watch the solar eclipse today? 🙌 If you're thinking about going out, please remember to protect your eyes! If you don't have eclipse glasses available, 🔗here are some creative ways to still enjoy the spectacle.

I'm really excited, this is something very special for me and I've never seen it before in my life!! Keeping my fingers crossed for clear skies for everyone who's watching 🤞🍀

So, to come back to the bookish side of things: A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun and totally or partly obscures the view of the sun for a viewer on earth.

What is your favorite book where the Sun and/or the Moon play an important part in the story?

Mine are Klara and the Sun 🌞 (really looking forward to the upcoming movie adaptation!) and The Girl Who Drank The Moon 🌙 (loved the Ghibli vibes in this one)

EDIT: As @starrynightsx mentioned, it's not only Solar Eclipse Day but also the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower! So it's the perfect night to keep an eye on the sky if you live in the Northern Hemisphere ✨️☄️

Moss'd in Space

Rebecca Thorne

USA Today Bestselling author Rebecca Thorne delights in a brand new cozy science-fiction series...for fans of Martha Wells and Olivia Waite! Features original inside art! Torian Razner finally bought a starship, and contrary to Amelia’s assessment, it was not “a meteoric sign of stupidity.” Sure, the alien starship may have been abandoned for a century, and it may be covered in moss now… but it’s Torian’s ticket to freedom, regardless of what her ex… ah, captain… said. Except Torian’s first flight reveals a surprise passenger: the moss is actually an organic computer with a snarky attitude and serious abandonment issues. The target of its loathing? The immortal alien who built it (and then parked the starship, with Moss inside, and forgot about it). The same alien who just found Torian and accused her of “stealing” the ship. It’s entirely possible that Amelia was right about this meteoric stupidity.

Just bought tickets for my first book convention!

What the title says! I just got tickets for Villains & Vixens in Dallas in 2027, and I'm so excited!! I've been wanting to go to a romantasy convention for a while, and when I saw this one was going to be near me I was SOOOO stoked!! (I've been having major FOMO seeing everything always happen in LA, NYC, and Miami.) (I've also got my eye on Romantasy Book Con in Edinburgh summer 2027, but that might be a bit of a pipe dream at the moment.) Now I just need to book my hotel!!! (Why are hotels so expensive?!) Right now I'm planning on going by myself, but I'm hoping I can find some friends to hang with there sometime before April, or at least that everyone there will be friendly to someone flying solo. Has anyone been to V&V before? Is anyone going next year?
