Currently reading Babel and it is so good. I can’t believe it took me this long to read R. F. Kuang! As a history nerd I’m loving the footnotes in the book. #booksky #Blackbooksky

A Sign of Affection volumes 4-6 💛

I first started reading manga last year and it has brought so much joy to my life. I’m loving this series and don’t want it to end! I highly recommend it’s a great romance manga and anime. #asignofaffection #manga #shojomanga #booksky
A sign of affection omnibus volumes 4-6. It is a yellow paperback with itsu and Yuki on the cover. They are embracing. I’m holding the book over a pink background with twinkle lights

Jujutsu Kaisen volumes 1-3

This manga was sooooo good! I finished the anime and desperately needed more content. I could not believe the ending of season 2 (it is as bad as they say lol)😭😱

Finished Vol. 3 of A Sign of Affection!
Yuki and Itsuomi officially become a couple. They are so cute and I love seeing their relationship grow. Yuki is a wonderful main character and I like seeing her develop more confidence.
#blerdsky #mangasky #Blackbooksky #asignofaffection
The book a sign of affection vol 3 over a tote bag with Sanrio characters and books on it. This is laying on a pink blanket. There is a Pompompurin bag charm on the tote and the book is orange,yellow, and purple with the two main characters on it Scene in the book where they tell their friends they are going out. They are so shocked and excited (because Itsuomi the MMC rarely dates) Yuki and Itsuomi hugging, he is holding her from behind and they are both in winter clothes as they bask in the embrace

Lately I’ve been renting DVDs from the library (I miss the blockbuster days). Today I’m watching Kamisama kiss! #blackanimesky #animesky #libraryjoy

Meanwhile, on HBCU campuses, lockdowns after bomb threats and though I'm sure this won't interest most media types, it is worth noting: abcnews.go.com/amp/US/multi...
Multiple HBCUs under lockdown after receiving threats amid rising campus security concerns
At least six historically Black colleges enacted lockdowns after receiving threats, amid heightened concerns following recent campus violence at Utah Valley University.

Gaza: The Poem Said Its Piece

My favorite poem from this book was “Radiance of the Ordinary.” Rabah is an incredible writer and I really enjoyed this work of poetry. #booksky #Blackbooksky

I just finished This Ravenous Fate by Haley Dennings!
My fav parts: historical setting, sapphic romance,
Black vampires, analogies on racism & queerness.

My qualms: slow pace, unsatisfying reveals, abrupt ending, repetitive, lack of yearning/connection of characters.
#Blackbooksky #booksky
The book this ravenous fate by Haley Dennings. I am holding it over a pink backdrop with fairy lights These are my notes on the book that cite page 111. In this scene Elise’s dad is basically accusing her of going against the family and being tempted by the vampires My notes on the first romantic scene in the novel. Layla drinks Elise’s blood for the first time and they both catch feelings. My annotation says this feels rushed even tho the book was very slow My notes on the last few pages of the book. Elise’s dad reminds me of the dad from scandal, and I list the antagonists (Mr Wayne and dr Harding)

Unfortunately I’ve found myself in a place of need again. I don’t have anyone around me who is willing to help. I’m ~$250 short on my car note. After paying the note, it’ll empty my account. If anyone can help, please do 🥹♥️ **more info in alt txt**

Additional info: I’ve been unemployed since February and unemployment is not enough to sustain my needs. I have also been actively seeking full time, part time, and freelance work with no openings. I’m disabled and chronically ill, living with fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s disease, and possibly PCOS. I need my car to get around, and it also provides transportation for my disabled mother. If I am able to crowdfund more than $250, the money will be put towards the debt I have accrued while being unemployed.

Flirting lessons by Jasmine Guillory.⭐️This book was AMAZING! Guillory is one of my favorite romance authors because her characters have such incredible depth in their personalities and experiences. As much as this is a romance it is also a story about friendship and finding oneself. #Blackbooksky

This was a great essay and critique on racial prejudice in America. #Blackbooksky #booksky
