There is a glowing red heart icon hanging suspended in an otherwise pitch black room. A person’s finger is reaching up to touch the heart icon but has not quite reached it yet. 

The red glowing light from the icon is just barely bright enough to illuminate this scene. Mastodon is the social media site I spend the most time on. Their Bookstodon hashtag is a particularly great place to learn about new books, but I’ve also found great reads Goodreads and, up until about two years ago, Twitter.

Here are some of the many books I’ve discovered on social media, several thanks to my friend Berthold Gambrel. The links below are to my reviews of these books.

Veterans of Love and War: A First World War Ghost Story by Steven Glick

War Bunny by Christopher St. John

Only the Living Feel Remorse – A Ghost Story by Ash Deza

The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz

The Future Is Female by Lisa Yaszek (Editor)

The Future Is Female! Volume Two, the 1970s – More Classic Science Fiction Stories by Women by Lisa Yaszek (Editor)

Vespasian Moon’s Fabulous Autumn Carnival by Berthold Gambrel
