A spicy sapphic romance featuring women in the doubles luge. Practically writes itself. #romancelandia #Olympics

23. We listened to the full cast audiobook version. 🎧 I can see why people like this one, as it's a very modern/thriller version of Poirot. DH and I, meanwhile, were on edge to see if Hastings saves the ranch. 😄 #booksky #mystery 🔍📚

I've written 4 non-fiction books, at least 3 of which were pirated by AI. To date, I've seen zero recognition for that. I'm also being soul-crushed by the query process for an actual, human-written novel. 1/2 #writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying

The “jail the librarians” bill is back and we need everyone to AGAIN call their representatives to get this bill to either on the vine.

Contact Speaker of the House Jon Burns to tell him that book bans are off the table.

If you get the NYT, be sure to read today’s frightening article about how one woman published over 200 novels last year using AI

20. I found this one engaging and amusingly self-aware. After getting this version, I became aware that it edited out some problematic (i.e., racist) language appearing in the original. 😕 TW for older versions. #booksky #mystery 🔍📚

19. I can't leave a Cat Sebastian book in my TBR pile for any length of time. Only the second historical I've read with a non-binary lead. Love to see a hero normalizing being boring and bi. 😅 #queer #booksky #romance 🏳️‍🌈❤️📚

Reading Death in the Clouds and now fully obsessed with this aircraft. Imagine traveling in luxury on an airplane. 😅 #mystery #agathachristie #aviation

18. Honestly, the best part of this one was Poirot sitting up in a suite at the Ritz "thinking" while he let everyone else do his legwork. 😄 #booksky #mystery 📚🔍

Nos. 13 and 17: Game Changer and Heated Rivalry. Liked the show, glad I checked out the books. Sports #romance doesn't always click for me, but these are some lovable characters. #booksky #queer 📚❤️🏳️‍🌈

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

16. Such a classic. This was my first time listening to the Dan Stevens 🎧version and I thought he did a great job. #booksky #audiobooks #classic #mystery 🔍

Last year, we had a search where every shortlisted candidate would have req'd visa sponsorship. Admin balked, search failed.

Already we're at the point where highly qualified US citizens pass on public uni salaries at red-flag institutions. #highered

15. This one started strong, but I was underwhelmed by the "twist." In other news, DH is convinced that Lord Edgware was having an affair with the "Adonis-like butler" that Christie kept going on about. 😂 #murder #booksky

14. Thanks to Hay House and the author for this ARC. Cozy #fantasy vibes, early 20th century aesthetic. There is a light, no-spice #romance but worked better as fantasy... Still a strong debut! Summer 2026 📚❤️ #booksky

In the past year, I've decided two subgenres that don't work for me are cozy #fantasy and sports #romance. So why am I presently reading books in both these categories? 😅 #booksky 📚

My husband just suggested that if the History Channel and the Weather Channel merged into the Historical Weather Channel, middle-aged men would have that shit on 24/7.
