Hi all, introduction time! I'm a witchy queer author with chronic pain who writes contemporary romance. I'm currently in the middle of the Pagans & Pop Stars series about a former boy band and their friends (and exs) all finding love.

Does anyone have any good non-fiction book recommendations?

Any topic I would consider, but I like sports in general, history, mental health stuff and just good stories.

Does anyone know like any self help books for depression and motivation that actually help? Like that help actual people with actual depression and not some wishy washy "just make a to do list and get started" type shit?? I'm curious 🥺

#romancelandia is there a separate romantasy feed?
Question for #BookSky folks here:
is there an active #romantasy corner on Bluesky yet, or is most of that community still living on Instagram?

IG feels… not great. Trying to convince my wife there’s a home for romantasy readers + writers here. Am I a liar?

Give me some book recommendations. Fantasy or scifi, female author preferred. Romantasy is fine, but I don’t want to read Fourth Wing. It needs to be on audiobook because my eyes don’t work so well. #booksky

It has occurred to me that when social media goes downhill, it often mirrors eutrophication 🧵

First, here's the Wikipedia article on eutrophication (which I used to refresh my memory on a couple points): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutroph.... I will also explain what it is in my own words. (1/17)

Oh, and: watch out for marginalized + vulnerable mutuals. Report + block the bigots who come after them, and as appropriate, have a plan for supporting them if they're forced offline.

On a broader scale, keep an eye out for HABs: if any vulnerable group is forced out, others will follow.

Individuals can also pitch in, though!

-Do report and block.
-Don't feed the trolls.
-If you must share "fertilizer", use screenshots to avoid feeding the algorithm.
-Be wary of misinfo / disinfo. If you share any by accident, unrepost + let your network know.
-Just say no to genAI!

Hey BSky, I'm looking for your BOOK RECS on true crime fiction: novels or novellas that read like a true crime non-fiction or a podcast. Think Six Stories by @mattjwesolowski.bsky.social, True Crime Story by Joseph Knox, or Penance by Eliza Clark.

I have wanted to start editing for a bit but was nervous about putting myself out there. At the encouragement and prodding of some friends, I've decided to offer my editing services via ko-fi.

If you are wanting someone to take a look at your work who will NOT use AI, hit me up!

Hey parents or childcare workers or anyone else who might know: I'm looking for a set of modular climbing/play toys like this but made of durable hard plastic. Does anyone know of a brand that does this? All the ones I can find are soft and squishy materials. Asking for rescue animals.

I'm in a bit of a book slump and need a good book to listen to. Not necessarily light, but not depressing, and something that will take me out of the current reality. Any suggestions? I like a little of everything, but maybe not romcom right now (unless unconventional). 📚💙 #booksky

Does anyone have a good book recommendation for a book that discusses German expressionism in film? Kind of going down a rabbit hole because of this week's @horrorverse.bsky.social newsletter!
