Also, #Novellavember, at least as it exists on BlueSky, was started by @panediting.bsky.social, who is going through a rough time, so if this event has brought you any joy, consider throwing a few dollars in this hat:

If you can help, anything helps. Anything. Husbeast made some money but it won't drop until November.

300$ car payment soon. 100$ phone (3 phones) on Nov 2 due. Internet due soon. Electric and water will be late. I'll have to call them and get an extension.

It's #Novellavember, and I'm starting with @amalelmohtar.com's The River Has Roots, which I've been saving for this occasion.

I doubt I'll get through as many books as last year (this November is busy!), but I've been hoarding novellas all year.

While building my #Novellavember hold list at the library I was really despairing at how many books were available only in ebook, and wondering if this was finally the year I was going to have to teach my brain ebook object permanence...

If anyone is planning a #Novellavember TBR and is interested in reviews of recent novellas all collected in one place...

This "1 book = 1 trans books I love" project has kept me so busy I haven't been prepping for #Novellavember! Giving myself twenty minutes to research and put in some library holds right now...

As always if you want the full list of authors and titles those are included in the alt text. Sorry I was too lazy to add translators, but I definitely will if I read them and do reviews.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR TBRs if you are joining in for #Novellavember!

My #Novellavember TBR Part One: Owned/Unread Books

I limited myself to 30 books total, 15 owned, 15 from the library, with the usual caveats that I will certainly not ACTUALLY read 30 novellas this month, and they may not be limited to the novellas in these two stacks.
A stack of books on a wooden deck with fall leaves in the background. The books, from top to bottom: A + E by R Merey A Spy in the House of Love by Anaïs Nin The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin A Leopard-Skin Hat by Anne Serre Lust, Caution by Eileen Chang The Wax Child by Olga Ravn Sa'iba by Alis al-Buatani A Tale of Truths by Berit Ellingsen Prime Meridian by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Leavetaking by Peter Weiss Unfit by Ariana Harwicz Love Novel by Ivana Sajko The Dragonfly Gambit by A.D. Sui Local Star by Aimee Ogden Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens by Lynn Hutchinson Lee

It's Novellavember and I got 2 novellas!

One Science Fiction, and one that's pure Fantasy. The Fantasy one is also a lot more positive, with action and humor.

Unsaved I released recently, and is darker, classical scifi.

Living Sword: books2read.com/u/4EkM03
Unsaved: books2read.com/u/4A9nxq
The cover of The Living Sword by Pemry Janes A snarling demonic creature, with a screaming chest, stares at you. A sword is hidden by the title. The cover of Unsaved by Pemry Janes. A weary robot sits on a head while mechanical limbs pile up behind them. Just a scrapheap, or the ghosts of regrets past reaching for the one who couldn't make good on their promises?

It's #Novellavember and I have a fast-paced horror novella just for you at 30k words about a deadbeat guitarist, the violent, rotting seraphs after him, and the angel wielding a lead pipe that might be his savior.

Check it out today!
earlronove.itch.io/benotafraid
books.earlronove.com/benotafraid
Be Not Afraid by S. Jean's illustrated cover. It features a white-haired pale young man with his back to the view and he is glancing over his shoulder with a coy smile. He is holding a bloodied lead pipe across his shoulders as see-through red wings spout from his back. Behind him are red smears across the cover with large, bulbous eyes staring at him. Behind his head is a spiky halo. A graphic about the two main characters from BE NOT AFRAID. The logo is at the top and the illustration of the two main characters are in the center. To the left is Seth, an angel with pale blonde hair, fair skin, bright purple eyes, with white freckles across his cheeks. He has a pair of pale yellow wings. He is holding a lead pipe over his shoulder and he is smiling shyly and glancing to his right. He is wearing a dark tank top, a black sleeved jacket with cherry blossoms along the sleeves, and white shorts. Along his shoulders are wing tattoos and hanging from his neck is a sunflower guitar pick. Beside him is Trent, a punk with brown hair, green eyes, tan skin, and piercings on his face. He is wearing a black leather jacket with red lapels and accents and brown pants. His hands are tucked into his pocket and he looks to the right, a little concerned. Around them is text that detail their names and characteristics. On Seth's side, the text reads: SETH an angel with a lead pipe coy smiles, dreams of a different life, sewn on wings, and a quote that reads: "We're not real. We're just fodder." On Trent's side, the text reads: TRENT a deadbeat guitarist prone to panic, brash but means well, dreams of a life not falling apart, and a quote that reads: "Oh, fuck this shit."

Anyway, #Novellavember would be a great time to read Hilda Hilst.
The Obscene Madame D by Hilda Hilst: 9781805331360 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
A wickedly funny work of depraved genius by one of Brazil’s most radical twentieth-century writers; imagine the Marquis de Sade as written by Clarice Lespecter An electrifying masterpiece by one...
