All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)

Riel.Belle

Object or being?

Question for those reading or have read. I am in a book club with a book bingo, one of the squares is 'Sentient Object.' Is Murderbot a sentient object? Or by gaining sentience in a human-like form does that make them a being? What is the line of sentient object to sentient being? 🤔

Books about florists? 💐

So I'm a floral designer recovering from Valentine's Day. I'm realizing I've never read a book with a florist in it. Open to any recommendations of books about florists or even with a florist character. It doesn't necessarily have to be a major part of the plot!

Grief Eater

Emma Osborne

Visceral, gritty, and unforgiving, GRIEF EATER is a zombie story like you’ve never read before. When Kristina rises from her violent death, she’s not the same fragile woman her family once abandoned. She’s rageful, powerful, and hungry—for the blood of the ones who were supposed to love her. With a newfound craving to see vengeance and grief served, she launches into a once-in-an-undead-lifetime journey across blood-slicked highways to the scorched Australian bush and her hometown. As her body fails and her mind fractures, she’s left with one final question: Is she here to forgive, or to feed? A transgressive, gory examination of queer identity and found family, GRIEF EATER sinks its teeth into trauma and what it means to be devoured by grief. Advance Praise for Grief Eater “Grief Eater is a scathing rebuke. And yet it has so much heart. Every line of Osborne’s gorgeous prose is a knife that cuts like a balm. Lyrical, constantly surprising, essential—Grief Eater takes a familiar genre and transforms it into something entirely new.” —Cadwell Turnbull, award-winning author of the Convergence Saga “This story will not spare you. It will reach into your chest and eat your heart. Osborne writes with brutal clarity about abuse and betrayal, about the queer joy and chosen family that will help you survive it. About how love and a quest for vengeance can be strong enough to move the dead. I’ve never read anything like it.” —K Tidbeck, author of Amatka and Jagannath. “Grief Eater is an embodied, sensory experience: screaming, snarling grief; monstrous hunger; the desire for answers that can only be found in blood. Horror at its finest, as glorious, gory relief and release.” —Angela Meyer, author of Moon Sugar “Soaked in blood and loss, Grief Eater is a bittersweet tale that is redolent with the transformative closure that comes after confronting painful trauma. A visceral and unflinching read!” —Suzan Palumbo, author of Skin Thief: Stories and Countess

”Hungry children eat anything you give them. An ounce of kindness. The most broken love. Even a crumb is enough when you are hungry. You take what is given and say thank you.”

She writes with the emotion of having lived it. Ugh, there’s so many lines that hit so hard and I have to sit here and absorb them before I can continue. It truly resonates and breaks my heart at the same time

Fantastic Fiction Website

Hi everyone, I am here to tell you all about a website I found recently that has been a total game changer for me!

The website is fantasticfiction.com and the purpose of the website is to find new releases by your favorite authors. All you have to do is sign up and follow as many authors as you want, you will then get notified via email when authors you follow announce new books. ✨

I used to have an instagram account solely to follow authors and stay up to date on their new releases but found that I was missing a lot of their posts. I’ve also been slowly deleting all my social media because it’s just not good for me so this website has been perfect and I hope it helps someone else too!

Daughter of the Moon Goddess (The Celestial Kingdom Duology, #1)

Sue Lynn Tan

Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind. Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor's son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince. To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies across the earth and skies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos. A captivating debut fantasy inspired by the legend of Chang'e, the Chinese moon goddess, in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm. Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting, romantic duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.

Yoink Seekers: The ISO Post

I don’t know about y’all, but I am always on the hunt for new friends to steal books from—yes, even from those who are pro-tomato even if they’re WRONG. /t

I wanted to make a post so we can all share our ISOs for niches of books we like and find folks we want to follow so we can hop on board their TBR Trains 🚂

The idea in general is for each of us to make a comment with what we’re looking for, and for those who read something on our list and want to be followed to reply so we can find them! Not sure what that looks like? You can find my own post in the comments. 🫶
