I gave Nat Bickel's The Catalyst a strong 4-star rating on my blog Angie Mangino Looks at Books and shared it on Medium. The opening scene with Kelynn waking up in the hospital after another blackout episode effectively sets up the mystery that drives this YA romance. This award-nominated debut novel is well-crafted and worth reading.

Determination. Resistance. Survival. Defiance. Hope is an action; a marathon long-pursued, sometimes kept close only by the fierce grip of a desperate claw. Remnant's Hope, final book in the Resonance Tetralogy, arrives from @inspiredquill.bsky.social on October 3rd #furrywriting #furlit #yalit

Cover art of young adult furry fantasy novel Edge of Ascension, with an accompanying quote:

In the lantern light, Faria could see the contours of scars in Riemu's scales, chips in her horns, and a tired determination in her eyes. "We both know what it is like to lose something. That determination to prevent the next is what sees this through, till its end or ours."

Must-listen podcast episode! Author Nat Bickel sits down with Bookshelf Odyssey to discuss her debut YA novel The Catalyst, a mystical romance set in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The conversation covers her writing journey, self-publishing experience, and book recommendations including Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush Hush series and Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale. Perfect for aspiring authors and YA fiction fans!

Throwback voice recognition mistake of the day: "Melanie turned the key again and again, but the car only responded with an annoyed wine." 🍷😤
I guess the wine had gone sour.
That was from Felony Melanie in the Big Smashup, a Sweet Home Alabama romantic comedy.

A book cover shows an illustration of a blonde teen girl standing in front of a beat up car. The title is Felony Melanie in the Big Smashup. Text on a blue background says Is the town ready for a girl in the demolition Derby? Is anybody ever ready for Felony Melanie? Meet Felony Melanie a decade before the events of the movie Sweet Home Alabama.

Yeah now it's clear why they changed her color scheme from grey and black to white.

Clothing swap between adaptation Dr. Cable and my pre-movie design. Found it interesting to know how that would look like
#DrCable #Uglies #ScottWesterfeld #Dystopia #YALit #SciFi

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing, showing two rather angular-faced middle aged women posing. First is black, wearing her hair in a straight, blonde braid, unnaturally grey, intense eyes, she is rather curvaceous and wears a grey and black futuristic uniform, her body half turned away from the viewer. Second is white, wearing a sharp-cut bob, also grey eyes, but aquiline nose and narrower chin. Her body type is more androgynous, while still rather muscular, and she wears a long, white, sleeveless dress.
