This is what I've been doing to relax recently. 1500 pieces started on Thursday late evening. Making some really good progress on it

A puzzle that's a collage of colourful and very cool glass bottles.  It is 3/4 done and the holes in it are also bottle shaped

18 days left the Apex Magazine 2027 Kickstarter, and we're 45% of the way towards our goal! Just $1k more will get us to the halfway point, and then it's all downhill (uphill? Whichever metaphor sounds more relaxed and positive) from there! 💪 Donate below:

Radio Silence is my 1940s historical m/m romance about two radio stars reuniting after five years apart.

It also features old friends (good!), new friends (good!), a cat (very good!), and a Hollywood gossip who wants to tear apart everything good our leads have.

cover for Chace Verity's Radio Silence done in black and white typography with blood splatter along the title. At top, it reads: How far will they go to protect each other?

Yeah I am always a month behind to get solid numbers. I think it's an inherent facet of being wide? I can have a good idea beforehand because I have no audio and itch is timely but there's always straggler sales

Need some queer werewolves and vampires in your spooky season reads? I have just the series for you.
I got Lemon Balm as a birthday present from my mother but I have book two (Aloe) as an ARC right now 👀 Review (hopefully) coming soon for that one too.
#booksky #QueerBooks

Review for Lemon Balm by Artemis Quinn and Auden Eris-Everen
Rating: 5/5
A delightfully queer story following nonbinary werewolf Cypress and nonbinary vampire Acanthus as they become friends (and more!) while attempting to avoid a war between supernatural factions.
Acanthus was so relatable it hurt, and Cypress is a nice fun balance to the darker moments.

This is such a good series y'all I love it. Episodic adventures, found family, magic and tech and lost history and GAMES and just really fun characters.

The important context here is that I walked in on Hitchcock 's movie way way too young and it combined with Redwall's cartoon to give me years of recurring bird nightmare and birds flying too close to me still freaks me out 😅 i love them but that chickadee!!! Really brought the childhood fear back 😂
