SceNtriC, Polish Jeśli lubiliście "Trylogię Husycką", to tutaj też się odnajdziecie, bo choć tereny inne (Niemcy zamiast Śląska), to klimat i czasy podobne (reformacja, inkwizycja), a także trochę magii i humoru (aczkolwiek tego ostatniego mniej niż u Sapkowskiego). Zaskakująco kameralna książka jak na możliwości, które autorowi dał rys historyczny, ale może też dlatego czyta się to dobrze, choć lepiej pod koniec niż na początku. Warto sprawdzić.

ergative, Hey, Mastodon, I'm halfway through book four of Libba Bray's 'Diviners' quartet, and it is really good! Just super-solid, well-plotted, well-paced 1920s magical flappers who have to save the world from ghosts. The ensemble cast is effortlessly diverse, and the mood does a brilliant job of capturing that breathless optimism of 1920s America without losing sight of all the darkness lurking underneath it all. A tiny bit purple at times, but super-good.
triptych, I have a few #fantasy novels I've written in the past - It would mean a lot to me if you checked em out! https://www.inkitt.com/triptych
upmultimedia, @triptych Which one do you a) think I should start with and b) needs a bit of love (eg a review)?
HeliaXyana, Freya has no idea how many times she stepped into her two-year-old self to reset reality.
This made me wonder: Do your characters know and remember all their time travel adventures?
HeliaXyana, German Ah, interesting situation. Backwards, forwards or both?
anderlandbooks, German @HeliaXyana backwards only nor now...
SceNtriC, Polish Książka fantasy jak najbardziej godna z polecenia, z dobrymi zwrotami akcji, a przede wszystkim umiejętnym wytłumaczeniem pochodzenia magii oraz scenami przemocy, które rzeczywiście przez styl opisu budzą w człowieku pewne emocje. Natomiast to pierwszy tom, który wyraźnie zawiesza wiele wątków z myślą "no weź, przecież i tak kupisz drugą część". Może i kupię, ale zmuszony być do tego nie lubię.

StelliformPress, What's everyone reading coming up on this long weekend? I've got two books on the go as I often do! I'm enjoying both of these very much. Premee Mohamed's THE SIEGE OF BURNING GRASS just came out two weeks ago, and Sydney Hegele's debut novel BIRD SUIT comes in in May. Thanks to Invisible Publishing for the advance copy!

JaeAuthor, This week's Sapphic Book Bingo post features sapphic speculative fiction, which is a broad and diverse category, so I included 20 instead of 15 recommended books.
Most of them are sapphic paranormal romances, fantasy, or romantasy novels, but there are also some sci-fi romances, dark fantasy, and horror in the mix.
Check them out on my blog: https://jae-fiction.com/sapphic-speculative-fiction/

SFRuminations, @Taffer Yup.
SceNtriC, Polish Stanowski już zrobił swoją orkę, wiec przyszła pora na mnie, choć tak naprawdę ta ksią... to opowiadanie nie zasługuje na orkę. Jest po prostu rozczarowaniem ze względu na kierunek fabularny oraz wydanie. Stylistycznie i klimatycznie trzyma poziom pierwszej części i mam nadzieję, że pełnoprawny drugi tom (jeśli powstanie) będzie bliższy pierwszemu niż... tego.

Tinido, German Reading a high stakes-fantasy trilogy over the last weeks has my nerves really wrecked. I need something cozy now. Any sugestion?
Nach der High Stakes-Fantasy-Trilogie brauch ich jetzt echt was cozies. Habt Ihr Vorschläge?

@bookstodon @lesekreis
ArthurCopeland4, @Tinido @bookstodon @lesekreis
Travis Baldree’s low-stakes cozy fantasy: “Legends & Lattes” and “Bookshops & Bonedust” if you haven’t already.And I’m another vote for Malka Older’s recent duo.
Jennifer, @ArthurCopeland4 @Tinido @bookstodon @lesekreis I second Legends and Lattes, it's delightful! I have started the Glass Library series and it's also low stakes fantasy about a librarian in a world where magic exists. I'm enjoying it!
SJHoodlet, Went to mail a few copies of The Way of the Wielder today.
As I was writing the personalized notes for each, the worker was eyeing the book's cover.
"Is this your book?" she asked when I gave her my name for the mailing labels.
"It is! It comes out tomorrow."
She read the blurb. "Do you mind if I get a photo of it? I'm going to tell my daughter and nieces about it. They love romantic fantasy novels."
No, good lady. No, I do not mind at all. 🤩
Firlefanz, How awesome! And that's a clever request.

jamesenge, Happy Downfall-of-Sauron Day! Remember: “Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.”
brainwane, Today, again, I reread the very short #fantasy story my spouse @leonardr wrote https://www.crummy.com/2022/12/16/0 after I asked him to write a sweet story about a robot oven.
https://www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-94b-when-there-is-sugar-by-leonard-richardson/ “When There is Sugar” has a decommissioned military #robot meet a human baker who misses his son.
The ending always makes me tear up.
More of Leonard's writing: https://www.crummy.com/writing/
brainwane, Today I read a news story and watched a 1-minute video about the new world record for the longest baguette
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68962680
that gave me an idea for a sequel to Leonard's short story "When There Is Sugar", because both stories involve mobile ovens of kind of the same shape
18+ ranjit, @brainwane @leonardr after watching the video and seeing that it's the oven that moves (not the baguette), it made me happy to imagine the oven from the story stumping along slowly on its three legs! (They don't have a 140m long table so all the kids in the village are recruited to hold up the baguette, with oven mitts of course)
MisWiredKE, The time has come for the chosen to awaken to their destiny. In Awakening, follow the journey of Roxane as she goes from an awkward human to a woman who holds the destiny of the gods in her hands.
Thanks to @hiisikoloart for the amazing cover art.

oarditi, I’ve just finished this very enjoyable, pan-historical garden fantasy (is garden fantasy a genre? It is now!), ‘Threading the Labyrinth’ by Tiffani Angus.

Narshada, @oarditi @bookstodon I’ll bet. We need to see if we can convince Tiff to join Masto…
anita, @oarditi @bookstodon garden fantasy absolutely is!! I’m a story gardener cultivating blossoms into insights on culture, explorer-writer intertwining ancient wisdom and modern curiosities all gleaned from my real garden!!! My only problem is after 17 years of writing like this I’m still better at research than fantasy, and have settled now into creative realism. One of these days they’ll metamorph into irresistible fantasy magical realism at very least 😂

HeliaXyana, #wordweavers 8 What food does your MC associate with home?
For Freya, it's pumpkin soup. Home is where a giant bubbling cauldron of soup is available throughout the day.
She loves the pumpkin soup because they grow all ingredients in the garden themselves. After a summer of tending the plants together, cooking them up feels meaningful and unifying. To Freya, a good soup feels akin to a warm embrace from the inside out.
WagesOf, @HeliaXyana alexa, find me some pumpkin soup on doordash!
