Nope it’s too soon! What if i read an absolute banger between now and 31 December?! eh?! what then?!
The image shows a screenshot of the Goodreads app's notifications page. The highlighted notification reads: "Review your 2024 Year in Books with personalized reading stats," posted 8 hours ago. Below the notification, an overlay text in pink reads: "NOPE NOPE NOPE." Beneath this, more text in pink states: "I still have 10 reading days left of 2024!! My year is not over and cannot be reviewed @goodreads." The background of the app is beige, and the interface displays tabs for "Notifications," "Messages," and "Requests."

This book will stay with me.

1st-EVERY SINGLE TRIGGER WARNING

A haunting, mystical, loving eulogy to women who were neglected & forgotten by society. An existence tragically, terrifyingly exploited by men incl. their murderer

TY @memydogandbooks.bsky.social for another PHENOMENAL rec! ⭐️ #booksky

My latest BookTube - festive holiday recs with zero romance

youtu.be/hllAEAl3geU?...
A cheerful holiday-themed image featuring a person with bright yellow glasses, smiling while holding a scruffy black and tan dog wearing a festive bow tie. They are in front of a glowing Christmas tree adorned with red and gold ornaments. The text at the top reads "HOLIDAY READING RECS" in bold red lettering, flanked by holly decorations. On the right side of the image, there is a collage of holiday-themed book covers, including titles like *The Christmas Appeal*, *NOS4A2*, and *Krampus*. The overall vibe is festive and cozy.

Do you read festive books?

If so, have you started yet?

PHEW
Violent, brutal, addictive thriller about a group of women who work 3rd shift at a bento factory in the dregs of Tokyo & the men who infiltrate their lives. The last 1/3 made me yell 😂 (highest compliment!)

Thank you @memydogandbooks.bsky.social for the rec on your channel!

co-sign - this book is not much talked about but is utterly stunning!

Finished Braiding Sweetgrass tonight! This book was absolutely stunning and soul cleansing. It managed to give me hope and comfort in a time where I haven’t felt much of either. This is one of those books that I would happily recommend to anyone!!

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
