I'm a writer, which amounts to being a small business owner attempting to make a (meager) living off my writing. So once a week, I share one of my books in case it might resonate with some of you.

The Last Priestess of Malia is historical fiction: The people of Crete fight to save their culture and their values from the onslaught of foreign conquerors. I'll be honest, it's not light reading. But I think it's relevant for our times, perhaps painfully so.

Just finished my first book of the year. I know it's mid-February but this was a bit of an 850-page epic. Been meaning to read this for at least a decade.

This was a great read - written in the style of mid-19th century novels, and with enough wit and playfulness to keep me fully engaged for the full length.

I'm a writer, which is a kind of small business, I suppose. So even though I find this awkward and uncomfortable, I am once again reminding you that I write books that you might like to read. Up today, Labrys & Horns, the "starter pack" for Ariadne's Tribe style inclusive Minoan spirituality. Find the details here: https://www.lauraperryauthor.com/labrys-and-horns

I'm looking for #book recs featuring bisexual main characters. Any ideas?

Genre is not too important for me, though I worry that people will only have YA suggestions for me and YA is ... not my favourite.

Read CELESTIAL MONSTERS by Aiden Thomas if you love the aftermath, road trips, dysfunctional pantheons, delightful anarchists, dismantling systems of oppression, queer love, questioning authority, baking, cryptids, cenotes,vengeance, forgiveness, tiny birds & new beginnings.

ALSO: if you need a reminder that trans people are strong, joyful, brilliant, messy & beautiful, ALL of Aiden Thomas' books are a must read, but this duology in particular.
