O is for THE OBSIDIAN TOWER by Melissa Caruso

The start of new epic fantasy series by a favourite author, with an biromantic ace MC and some juicy tropes: close-castle mystery, ancient family secrets, and a travelling troupe of spies! Pretty sure the third one's out now :D

O is for OUR BLOODY PEARL by D. N. Bryn

Get your fill of ace pirates and sirens in this fast-paced and sweet steampunk-ish fantasy, where a disabled siren learns to use a mechanical tail and regain a modicum of trust in (some) humans.

Alright, @maxmm77 finally got me over here from - and I am told that an is the norm - so here we go.

Hi, I’m Chris! I’m a father, husband, writer, critical scholar, and survivor - not necessarily in that order.

I recently defended my dissertation, “Rhetorics of Cancer in America” (link in bio).

I enjoy:

I haven’t drawn mice or other rodents in ages... I should pick that up again: when you’re that tiny everything takes courage and anything can be an adventure~.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, that I write and draw a graphic novel titled Wapsi Square, But over the last few years, I've experimented with doing animation as well. I suck at it, but you have to suck before you get better (I hope anyway), right? This animation has two of my characters, both paranormal teens, going on a date/Test of Courage. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to share if you do enjoy it.

Can you help ID a children's fantasy novel from the 1970s?

Help, , , , , , & friends!

My colleague is trying to identify a fantasy novel he read as a child/tween sometime around 1980-1984 in the U.S., and so far all of us who are trying to assist are stumped. If you can help, we'd be most grateful! (UPDATE: We’ve ruled out works by Patricia McKillip.)

Here's what he remembers:

  1. He thinks it was published in the late 1970s. (He read a library hardback without a dustjacket, so he didn't see the cover art.)

  2. He thinks it was a standalone novel, not a book in a series.

  3. The plot involved a boy and girl brought up as siblings, but in fact they were the respective heirs of two warring kingdoms, heraldically represented as "the Mountain" and "the Sea." It culminated in a duel between two wizards.

Thank you so much for any and all leads!

📚 For my next read, it's time to return to my usual comfort pick genre: fantasy. I'll be reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.

I've heard nothing but good things about this book, and the Netflix show, Shadow and Bone, which was based on it.

If it's anywhere near as good as the reviews, I'm in for a treat. Looking forward to some epic world building and adventure!

Maybe its time to start enjoying the great outdoors without paying rent.🌿🏰This dilapidated ruin may be covered in moss and vines, but it's still got great bones. Literally. And hey, who needs a roof when you have a clear view of the stars, right?😜
