also I recommend having a scroll through #SmallPressBigStories for a bunch of interesting small press books, interviews, and other good stuff.

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another #SmallPressBigStories recommendation! If you’re looking for a #queer #fairytale
with beautiful, lyrical, prose, Snorri recommends you check out THE FOUR PROFOUND WEAVES by R. B. Lemberg!

You can listen to our interview with R.B. here: https://www.fictionfanspodcast.com/post/author-interview-ada-hoffman-r-b-lemberg

This campaign is such an important bridge for us. Please support our small press with backs, shares, and calls for support - a rally to get this funded today and give us a chance at these stretch goals would mean so much. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atthisarts/treasures #Indie #SmallPressBigStories #SmallPress

#BogiReads from the archives:

Small Beauty by jia qing wilson-yang, from Metonymy Press (reviewed in 2018)

A Chinese-Canadian trans woman moves into her recently passed cousin's house in a tiny town, trying to come to terms with multiple losses. Birds, family, ancestors, diaspora.

This book is one of my recurrent recs!
