The Secret World of Maggie Grey
By Granger

#booksky
The image shows a tablet displaying a digital book cover. The book cover features a stylized grayscale illustration of a character with curly hair and a slightly smirking expression. The text on the cover reads: • Title: “Granger” • Series: “Drew Oliver Book One” • Subtitle: “The Secret World of Maggie Grey” The lighting in the image has a colorful glow effect, with red and green hues reflecting on the screen. The tablet is encased in a protective cover, and a stylus is visible along the edge. The background appears to be a soft fabric surface.

That halftime performance last night is really messing with some people's thoughts today --just because you don't understand cultural symbolism doesn't mean it was a bad or some inserted conspiracy.

Too many "hot takes" about it this morning are steeped in antiBlackness. Stop it.

An Academy For Liers
By Alexis Henderson

#Booksky
A person is holding a tablet with a clear protective case, displaying the cover of the book An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson. The book cover has a dark background with an illustration of a moth and crossed needles. The text at the top includes a quote: “A campus novel saturated with violence, desire, and power.” The background features a cozy living room with a brown couch, a bookshelf, and a black cat lying on the couch.

The Book of Phoenix for the next hour…after that I’m not exactly sure.

My reading style is 35% planned & 65% chaos.

It will most likely be one of these books - minus Convergence Problems and Caste. I’ve already read those.

Monthly reminder —

Books are political
—even those “silly dragon books” —-

Fiction
Nonfiction
Fantasy
Romance
All.

Reading is an act of resistance.

#Booksky
A close-up photo of two people holding open books with blurred hands and a cozy indoor background. Overlaid on the image is a quote in white text discussing the political nature of books and the power of reading as an act of resistance. Quote on image: “Books are inherently political—they shape perspectives, challenge power, and preserve histories that some would rather erase. Reading is an act of resistance because it arms us with knowledge, disrupts ignorance, and empowers critical thinking. In a world where narratives are controlled, choosing to read—especially diverse, censored, or radical works—is a defiant stand for truth and liberation.” The quote is attributed to NoniShanéy from Remarkable Book Life.

What I’m starting tonight;

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
By David Wroblewski
A copy of the book The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski rests on a wooden table. The cover features an image of a rural landscape with a person and a dog walking in a field, with a red barn in the distance. The book has an Oprah’s Book Club sticker on the front. Beside the book lies a decorative bookmark with a leaf pattern and a tassel. In the background, a black plush animal and a wooden display box with compartments are partially visible. The setting appears cozy, with warm lighting and a rustic wooden table.

The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
By James McBride.

#Booksky
The book cover of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride is displayed on a wooden surface with a blue and white checkered cloth partially visible in the background. The cover features bold black text for the title and author’s name over an abstract illustration of a woman wearing a blue headscarf, a white top, and an orange skirt. The book is labeled as a “New York Times Bestselling Author” and a “Winner of the National Book Award.” A small handwritten note appears next to the word “Store” on the cover. The inside flap of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride is open, revealing a printed synopsis on the left page and the author’s signature in blue ink on the right page. The synopsis describes the novel as a story about small-town secrets, focusing on the community of Chicken Hill in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived together. It introduces key characters, including Chona and Moshe Ludlow, who run the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, and a local Black worker named Nate Timblin. The story revolves around the discovery of a skeleton and the town’s hidden history. A bookmark and folded pages are visible at the top. The book is placed on a wooden surface with a blue and white checkered cloth partially visible in the background.

Reading Zelu’s family moments has really triggered some anger in me. They are so entitled and mean to her. Too much reminder of my Mom and family.

I’m at chapter 25.

But the upside is I think by confronting this trigger - I’m able to not give it power.

This was one of the BEST books I’ve ever read.

This book - and the stories within will stay with me for the rest of life and I will be telling everyone about it - if they want to hear about it or not.

Welcome to knowing an autistic reader.

I really can’t recommend this book more if I wanted to.

Let’s talk about it together!

The design features a silhouetted profile of a person’s face with intricate patterns in shades of orange, teal, and red. The tagline reads, “The Future of Storytelling Is Here,” with a quote from George R. R. Martin praising the book: “This one has it all.”

Wait…did I just get laid off???

Feels like a job I’ve had for 5 years just let me over and did it via text over a holiday break.

Bye, bye TikTok.

It was an adventure. Not always good but sometimes the best part of my day.
