High fantasy fans, I need your eyeballs.
My standalone fantasy novel MAEJ is to be published in October by tRaum Books, and the publisher and I seek folks willing to read a free advance review copy and leave an honest rating/review.
You can request a free copy of the book here: MAEJ Advance Review Copy Sign-Up
MAEJ is a unique, complex high fantasy novel featuring:
☞ gryphons
☞ berserker rages
☞ fate-worship
☞ algorithmic magic spells
☞ secret agent anthropologists
☞ hallucinogenic flower wine
☞ poetry battles
☞ Da Vincian flying contraptions
☞ a matriarchal society colliding with a patriarchal one
☞ an underground city
☞ a gaolbreak
☞ an awful politician getting assassinated while using the toilet
With “an elaborate and surprising plot [...] filled with political intrigue, action, twists, tragedy, and even a touch of romance”, MAEJ is a novel “unapologetic in its intelligence and dedication to doing strange, creative things with language” even as it offers “meaty commentary on the social construction of sex, sexuality, and gender” (in the words of one early reviewer).
If you want an ARC, here is that link again: MAEJ Advance Review Copy Sign-Up
You need not be a professional reviewer or somehow associated with the publishing trade. We welcome anybody who would like to read and review the novel.
You also have the option of waiting until 21 October, when you will be able to pay money for a book you could have gotten for free.

Happy Pride Month! There's two things I have to promote re free/discounted trans books so far:
This collection of free trans and nonbinary books, which you recieve either completely free or in exchange for signing up to the author's newsletter (Personally I've read and loved A Strip of Velvet & Secondhand Origin Stories, but there are some other interesting stories in here as well!)
And Jae's Pride Reads Celebration! Today (June 1st) you can get a lot of sapphic books, but you could also win a paperback of "A Bit of Murder Between Friends" featuring a trans woman MC by Elliot Hay if you're lucky

if you like crafting and also free things, might i suggest the antique pattern library?
it’s a not for profit that’s gathering books, patterns, and other materials related to crafting that are out of copyright (or getting permission from copyright holders in some cases) in order to share them online. they scan items, clean them up, then make everything available for free!
free things are great, especially when you’re just starting to get into something. like oh, i’m supposed to spend money on this hobby i just picked up 20 minutes ago???
the first time i ended up on the site, i seriously spent hours just trawling through everything. there’s the usual suspects like knitting, crochet, embroidery, but there’s also woodwork, calligraphy, and books on things like how to mount and frame pictures. with cross stitch patterns, they also make modern charts with the dmc colour codes available.
links to their webbed site and instagram:
https://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/

behold, a glorious cat cross stitch pattern (link goes to antique pattern library page):

Stone Butch Blues links again. Paste this post wherever the fuck you want.
Here is the free official PDF of Stone Butch Blues, by Leslie Feinberg, a nonbinary lesbian.
Here is where you can buy an official physical copy, paying only for the cost of the materials and shipping.
(Edit: Epub now included! Click here!)
As a warning, there are several scenes of police brutality, rape, and some other violence, but they are there to show the affects and reality of oppression, not to be gratuitous or add fake drama.

Behold! The complete Tintin comic book series!
It contains links to all books listed in chronological order. The links lead to the Internet Archive and you will need to "borrow" the book which requires an account. None of which is harmful nor requires any payment.

Google Drive full of book PDFs about Chernobyl
Link to the Google Drive if you don't want to click the title: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kscKFciW6almJA8p-0sUQPO3c0A4AQYe
Note: It will be updated regularly - for as long as I'll be able to find/get new things =) So far I've compiled 41 books in three languages.
Just to repeat what I said in the first post: I'm open to any requests or suggestions or even PDFs themselves, if someone wants to share theirs from their collection. Message me, send me an ask, throw a rock through my window - whatever you prefer, just please, do it yourself because I'm too scared to message anyone, thanks. No fiction - that's the only rule. Any language is welcome - if you want me to look for a certain book in the language of your choice, I'll do that. If you have a book in language other than English, I'd love to add it to the Drive! If you have a better version of whatever PDF I've already got, then I'd be more than happy to do a swap.
Now, some of my reasoning, if anyone's interested: first of all, I think it's important for everyone to be able to access stuff like this. Think of it as a library, minus the "give these back" part. Secondly, I get soooo mad when people are like haha, found this super rare, basically impossible to find, very expensive book! ...I shall now keep it exclusively to myself. Ma'am, you're ruining the vibe and stalling everyone's hobby research but I guess you do you...

I couldn't find the old post I had on this so I could reblog so here's a new reminder of the Internet Archive account I use to list poetry collections and poetry-related nonfiction available on the Internet Archive for free.
I favorited another bunch of poetry collections today.
There are 3,559 books listed as of this morning.
