Avid reader of fantasy, mystery, and romance. Spinner, knitter, singer, novice writer. I blog about books and publishing (and sometimes other stuff) at bookwyrmshoard.com .
- Delightful flash fiction. ( #Knitting *is* magic!)
- If you are preparing for the winter storm and think you might lose power, don’t forget to also do these things: — Charge up your e-reader and battery backups — Stock up on physical books (save the e-reader for when it is dark out. And remember, the library is free.) 1/2 #stormprep #winterstorm
- I’m joining the COYER reading challenge again in 2026. Sign up to Clean Out Your E-Reader (or at least make a dent in all those ebooks and audiobooks in your collection!) #coyer #coyer2026 bookwyrmshoard.com/challenges/c...

- Reposted by Lark of The Bookwyrm's HoardIt appears as though SFWA has had a very quick change of heart and is now back on the right side of this. Shouldn't have happened in the first place. New Nebula Awards eligibility rules for generated text are now:
- This. Exactly.

- Does anyone else think the elf on the shelf is a bit creepy? Clearly the current generation of parents never learned a critical lesson: Never invite the Fae into the house. #elfontheshelf #fae
- So true. I was a theater kid and majored in theater. I read to my kid, complete with accents, voices, and interpretation. And this is why I will *never* knowingly purchase, borrow, or read an AI-narrated book. #audiobooks
- Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. May your turkey be delicious, your companions convivial, and your day filled with warmth and peace.
- A lovely, warm, cozy sapphic fantasy about kindness, community, and learning to be your true self. Given how much I enjoyed Leong's The Teller of Small Fortunes, I had high hopes for The Keeper of Magical Things, and I was not disappointed! 5 stars. bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...
- Kudos on the great ad: humor, clarity, honesty, and persuasiveness. (At least for this logophile.) I’m seriously considering it… but also wondering (in view of Robert MacFarlane’s The Lost Words) which older words were dropped. (Maybe none? None would be good.) #dictionary #merriamwebster
- I absolutely loved this sci-if/#urbanfantasy series, especially the latest (not final) installment! (Although tbh I have a few minor reservations about the Graphic Audio editions... love the voices, could do without a few of the voiced sound effects.) bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews... #bookreview
- Sounds like a good day to get a jump on my holiday gift shopping! #Bookshop.org #AntiPrimeDay
- Dolly Parton is a national treasure. 2025 has been hard enough already. However, you choose to do it – prayer, holding her in the Light, sending healing energy or just good vibes – I hope you’ll send some positive thoughts out into the universe for her. #DollyParton

- Chef’s kiss, @merriam-webster.com !
- Time for my September reading wrap-up! #books #reading #septemberwrapup bookwyrmshoard.com/challenges/m...
- A ramshackle old castle, a hidden book, a treasure hunt, and a touch of romance make The Secret Christmas Library a delightful read. #bookreview #holidaybooks #jennycolgan bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...
- Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr:
- As a brand-new weaver, I was excited to find this book at my regional library, and so impressed with its content that I have ordered my own copy. #weaving #bookreview bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...
- I wasn’t at WorldCon. I didn’t see this happen; the first I heard about it was when someone reposted Elizabeth Bear’s post. I was appalled. It was the responsibility of both the announcer & the Hugo committee to make sure the announcer was well prepared & could say each name correctly. They failed.
- Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon
- It’s #wipwednesday, so today I blogged about my current fibery WIPs (works in progress)! #knitting #spinning #weaving bookwyrmshoard.com/wip-wednesda...
- The #TopTenTuesday prompt this week was “books with a high page count.” What’s the longest book you’ve ever read? bookwyrmshoard.com/top-ten-tues...
- What a lovely, warm hug of a book! Cozy, heartwarming, and enchanting (but never saccharine or twee), A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping centers around found family, love, acceptance, healing, and the strength of rebuilding yourself after disaster. #cozyfantasy bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...
- I absolutely loved the fourth in the Innkeeper Chronicles, Sweep of the Blade, by @ilonaandrews.bsky.social. It has action, suspense, humor, politics, treachery… and sizzling chemistry. #ScienceFiction #SFF #scifiromance #scifiromance bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...
- Celia Lake’s gentle, thoughtful Albion novels are high on my list of cozy fantasy comfort reads: Magic, romance, & diverse characters who treat one another with kindness, care, & respect, all in a historical fantasy setting. @celialake.bsky.social #bookreview bookwyrmshoard.com/book-reviews...
- In the Sunday Post, I take a look back at my week both on and off the blog. The Sunday Post is hosted by the delightful @caffeinatedreviewer.com . bookwyrmshoard.com/sunday-post/... #sundaypost #weekinreview
