Lire Bikepunk de @ploum en juillet... Rêver d'aventures à vélo. Acheter un gravel début Août. Faire son premier 100km le 15 Août. Totaliser 370km dans le mois sans avoir touché à sa voiture. Recommencer à militer en s'inscrivant aux 100km pour le Climat organisés par Cyclo pour le Climat le 20 septembre à Angers !!
C'est ça le pouvoir des livres... Merci @ploum #bike #gravel #book

My SIGNED copy of C. M. Alongi’s upcoming novel “Heart of Iron” arrived today! I’m very excited to have it on paper, even though I already read a digital advanced copy.


This is the story of how Violet, AKA the Iron Witch AKA the Traitor Princess (who has settled in the mortal realm running a coffee shop called CaFae Latte) has her past come back to visit her, and the humans and other beings she’s helped and befriended in the mortal realm team up to save her, even as one of them—the newly-sober newly-released-from-prison baker—is framed.


I’m like 99% sure every “good guy” in this book is queer.


“Heart of Iron” will be released Oct 7.

After struggling through Babel, I needed a fun read and, you know what, I am not ashamed to say I enjoyed this.

Lady's Knight - 6/10

Silly and cliche, but it really leant into that.

I don't know who I would recommend it to. But, if you're looking for an easy read that's got a WLW medieval setting, check it out.

On my list: #book by #LukeKemp:
“ #History is best told as a story of organised crime,” ... “It is one group creating a monopoly on resources through the use of violence over a certain territory & population. [...]The key thing is this is not about all of #humanity creating these threats. It is not about human nature. It is about small groups who bring out the worst in us, competing for profit and power and covering all the risks up.”

My first novel, How to Surf a Hurricane, is available today! I'm honored to share two years of challenging, stimulating and creative work with you.

The book is a heist, it's true (if you liked Ocean's Eleven, you'll love this).

It's also a well-researched look at what the future might be like in 2040 (if you liked The Martian, you'll enjoy this).

But most importantly, it's a story of hope and action. If you're tired of stories of doom and gloom, that the future will be a hopeless dystopia... if you want to fan the fire inside of you that we can take the future into our own hands... you'll want to read this!
