I don't know how it's traditionally classified, but make no mistake, UN-RUINED by @rogerjva is a horror novel. Especially if you're a parent. Tackling the twin fears of death and one's inability to shield loved ones from it. Uniquely devastating. @MalarkeyBooks

This is stacked full of bangers like this fire ass shit from @yo_adrianididit. Go get it, ya dorkuses.

@LovinSunshine97 So many! The newest is Child Craft by @amygcb from @BellePointPress, but also books by @laughingyeti, @jthouse37, @rogerjva, @Axiopoeticus, @LeighChadwick5. @writesforlife, @thenurtureboy and lots more I first learned about/saw on social media.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
