My book is out today. It’s nothing short of a dream come true. I hope you’ll read it.

I read 14 books in February and there were so many good ones!! Come check out what they were: thenextbestbookblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/what-i…

Had the pleasure of putting “The Walls Are Closing In On Us” to the Page 69 Test with @TNBBC. Already a fun day for the book today! thenextbestbookblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-pa…

This is just getting out of hand. Another impersonator trying to take advantage of small press authors by pretending to be me. Feel free to tell this asshat loriebravo5@gmail where to shove it so they stop this nonesense.

February 12th, zoom into MoCo Underground and listen to Lee Upton read from her forthcoming novel The Withers!

A wonderful interview with Lee Upton in North Meridian, regarding her forthcoming novel The Withers. "We might want to escape our time, but inevitably our culture imprints itself on us even if we try to resist." thenorthmeridianreview.org/blog/lee-upton…

Review copies w/ your name on it! Post epidemic near-future world where survivors are marked w/ creeping vinelike scars that leave them vulnerable to daily scrunity and organ traffickers. This summer's hot-as-hell must-have novel: The Withers instagram.com/p/DTc9KHPEZ5B/

Come check out the books I am most excited to review so far this year: instagram.com/p/DTXp79xEWj-/…

Here we go again. Someone else, or maybe the same dude from before, is out there pretending to be me, trying to make money off of authors. If you get an email from this faker - lorihettler.thenextbest.bookclub@gmail.com - let me know and please DO NOT give them $$

@goodreads, the site isn't allowing me to create or post a new topic in my group. But I was able to create a new discussion. Is this a known issue today? Or it there just something wrong on my end?

New year, New TNBBC Reading Challenge, where I pick a musician or band and turn their entire discography into reading tasks to be completed throughout the year. This year's challenge features songs by Garbage! Check out and feel free to join us! goodreads.com/topic/show/237…

Closed the year out with a total of 139 books read! 13 of those were in December. Come check out which ones of those were hot as hell and which were cool as a cucumber: thenextbestbookblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/books-…

A wonderful book about strange deaths taking place in a small seaside town. Memorable, quirky, and only 2 bucks for the ebook: instagram.com/p/DSSIf3mES3k/ Haunted by ghosts of the past and local legend... prickling with deciet and deception at every turn!

He imagines cutting the cook's eyes out and tossing them into the sea. -The North Sun, Ethan Rutherford Yes. I think I'm going to like this book just fine, lol

Another Chicago Review digs Darrin Doyle's The Dark Will End the Dark, calling it a " loving gesture to the darkened and deformed hoi polloi who have always lived under the ostentatious veneer of the stories people tell each other—and themselves". anotherchicagomagazine.net/2025/12/09/rev…

Ooooh look at @goodreads finally taking action on pre-release reviews and including a two step verification that you did indeed recieve a review copy before you can publish a review! This has been needed for years! Very appreciative of the focus that is being placed on it now!

@goodreads the site has been fickle all day and keeps failing to save my reviews when I go to post them. Am I the only one?
