You know, I'm really getting sick and tired of our health insurance company not wanting to cover anything. But they gladly take the money out of my paycheck every two weeks.

Harrow kindly sat down with our magazine editor Beth Tabler, and feral superfan Krystle Matar, to talk about short stories, Ancel, spite, and a love of storytelling. Read the full interview Belle m below:

The Tarot Trials brought to life by Sally Pham From the New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Olympus series, this high-octane, fast-paced epic fantasy of tarot magic and deadly competition launches an explosive new series perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab and Carissa Broadbent. OUT TODAY 🔮

Woke up this morning thinking, this is going to be a crap day. And then I saw that advance review copies of the final book in Richard Swan's Great Silence trilogy, BLOOD DYNASTY, are available to request through Edelweiss. Suddenly my outlook got a lot brighter. Cannot wait to read this book!!!

Grimdark readers will enjoy the dark, urban world of Pan. Full review below:

🚨ALERT!!!🚨 Was just browsing Amazon ebooks and it looks like Brian Staveley's entire Unhewn Throne series is currently FREE to download if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Anyone who hasn't read this series yet, it's excellent & usually quite expensive in Kindle format, so take advantage!

Who do you think the first psycho was that put ketchup on their eggs?

I swear, whenever I'm in a reading slump, I just pull out my well-worn copies of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance books and all is right with the world again. Never get tired of these.

Excited to actually get to go out and do some adult things with my wife tonight. Dinner and drinks at a fancy restaurant and then some ghost tours afterward in #CapeMay NJ!

Heads-up for any publishers providing ARCs on NetGalley. I don't want to seem unappreciative, but if you're only providing PDF files for download or to be accessed in the NetGalley Reader, please reconsider. The typeface is microscopic and impossible to read. PLEASE make them Kindle downloadable.

It's a little early but it had to be done.

Rereading THE SPARROW by Mary Doria Russell and boy, I forgot just how brutal this book is. Still one of the best first contact books I've ever read.

Just got my first ARC approval from Edelweiss in a very very long time. And the fact that it was THE HERETICS by @joeabercrombie.com made it that much sweeter. Been waiting on this one for a long time and can't wait to dive in!

If you're making a list of the best Tom Hanks movies and The 'Burbs isn't in your top 5, I don't even know what to say to you.

The #Phillies have the worst type of offense possible. Station to station and if they don't hit a home run they don't score. Just a terribly constructed team.

Malazan is one of the greatest fantasy series ever written—royalty amongst royalty and a titan amongst titans. And we have the reveal for EVERY SINGLE NEW COVER FOR THE SERIES. Check out the full series below:

As great as the show Silo is, the books are even better. People should read more.

Think I'm going to do a Black Company reread. Might post some comments here occasionally as I'm going through each book.

It's Game Day 🏈🦅 Go Birds!!!! #Eagles

Hunkering down for this New Jersey #noreaster. Good thing I have lots of books to read.

Every time I see something stupid or annoying on TV, I ask my kids "Is that a TikTok thing?" And the answer is nearly always yes.

The Language of Liars looks at the consequences of a complex tapestry of lies woven over countless generations. Full review below!

Thanks to everyone for all of the reposts. Much appreciated!

🎉Woohoo, just surpassed 400,000 views on the blog!!!🍾 So incredibly thankful to everyone who checks out my little book review space and I can't even begin to express my appreciation. Seriously, this is extremely cool, thank you.

Part of the benefits of being an early riser is I get that hour or so before everyone else in the house wakes up when I can enjoy my coffee and get some quality reading in.

I've been utilizing this long holiday weekend to finally dive into THE DEVILS by Joe Abercrombie and quite predictably, it's freaking magnificent. I don't want it to end.

My full #BookReview of A TRADE OF BLOOD by @robertjbennett.bsky.social Another brilliant ending to a magnificent series from one of the best authors in the fantasy genre. outofthisworldrev.blogspot.com/2026/08/book...

I know I owe a couple of authors out there reviews. Promise I am getting back on track with that. Unfortunately this whole life thing has a tendancy to be unpredictable.

@runalongwomble.bsky.social thanks for the repost!
