I have been struggling with reading, but … hopefully I’m back?! Still working on Assistant to the Villain, and dipped my toes into Magical Innkeeping … but #KJBradford releases this baby soon & I was intrigued. Black characters, fantasy elements, spice?! 👀 I’m in!!! #BlackAuthors #Booksky 📚💙

Reading #AssistantToTheVillain on my Kindle & loving the … slow burn. 🔥 #BookSky

An appreciation post for my MSW ride or die, @emynemmy.bsky.social on “the other social medias” that she doesn’t have. The accompanying song was Graduation by Vitamin C. ♥️

CR: My Sister, The Serial Killer by #OyinkanBraithwaite (pg. 195/227).
💭: Holy. Shit. This has me in an absolute chokehold! Edge of my seat vibes! Try audiobook for correct Nigerian name pronunciation. #booksky #currentread #thrillerbooks #bookish, #bibliophile #bookworm #booklove #bookshelf #reader

Grad school is basically over. My internship ends May 15th. I do have to attach appendices to my paper & submit it as a final, but … I’m done. Me & my Kindle are gonna get some *quality time* in before I start my new job. 🙌
May 11, 2025 at 4:11 AM
May is fast approaching and I am equally terrified and full of hope. 🤷‍♀️ Grad school has been amazing, but I am ready to be done … for now. Doctorate? Maybe once I’m in a more stable place. ♥️

#DeadBreakfast by @kathillisauthor.bsky.social & @rosieethor.bsky.social is queer GOLD. I cannot wait to buy this in its physical form and look at it on my #bookshelf. The paranormal, the queer, the cozy, the murder?! TOP TIER READ, #BookSky!

OMFG. I posted on IG today that I was feeling some type of way because someone posted the voice actors of Goofy and Max … & they’re white. 😂 I am glad to see this. Black history, INDEED. ☺️

On my LAST non-thesis assignment, I’m building off @emynemmy.bsky.social’s idea to report on #DecolonizingTherapy by #JenniferMullan. I’m adding a few different books & providing a PDF for the class BUT! Can we just appreciate a ✨talented✨ artist that let #Canva use their stuff? That art is FIRE! 🔥

Just got #NetGalley approved for #DeadBreakfast & I couldn’t be more excited! #Gay #vampires running a cozy country #BedAndBreakfast with a little #MurderMystery, a #Werewolf #Barista, and an #Elven #Coroner?! Yeah, I guess there’s humans too, but like … the absolute POTENTIAL in this story?! 🥹

I was driving to internship today and realized the #carpaltunnel in my left hand is NOT helped by the way I drive. My inner thumb kinda does a press & pull vibe on the wheel … and OMG THE FIRE AND TINGLES. 😭
March 20, 2025 at 9:25 PM
@nnedi.bsky.social Someone requested your novel in large print at my library & it has arrived for them! So excited to hear their feedback! 🥰
March 19, 2025 at 5:53 PM
I have #CarpalTunnel and my symptoms are ON FIRE between grad school, internship, & work. I hate the traditional braces because I’m a fat girl & my hands are little?! They are SO uncomfortable! Anyways, I found this little “brace” & immediately grabbed it. ITS SO HELPFUL! 😭 Replying w/ link!

So, we doing #promosky posts to find folks? Okay! ♥️

✨ I’m fat & body positive.
✨ Queer, but hetero-passing?
✨ LGBTQ rights or choke on air.
✨ Black & Brown folks are superior.
✨ Four teenagers, yup.
✨ I read. A lot.
✨ I’m a library lady, but also a social worker.
✨ My existence is political.

I do the #millennialpeacesign so much that all my kids do it. They’re 18, 17, 17, and 13. 🤷‍♀️ YALL GETTING THIS PEACE SIGN!

Arthur was a little worried that I slept in until 10:30. I sat up & he was … like this. #DogsOfBlueSky #DogPics
March 16, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Me from a different era was … a hellion. Now? Social worker slash library lady with a story. 😂

Here’s the book in question, basically back to new with a little TLC & book tape!

Sometimes, the things that get returned to the #library are strange. We have fun making notes that ONLY library staff can see. This graphic novel had a literal bite mark on its cover. 🤷‍♀️ #BookSky
March 15, 2025 at 8:01 PM
I have entirely too many books and don’t *quite* understand how #Kindle works haha. #BookSky
March 14, 2025 at 5:22 AM
Is anyone on #BookSky old enough to remember #AmeliasNotebook?! Because this book reminded me of her covers. The nostalgia! I still can’t wear purple nail polish and eat grapes!

My oldest kid has to have NO grad cap design, NO leis, and an APPROVED stole at their high school graduation. Aht aht, I see there are no rules about pins!

We found these on Etsy & they’re IN THE CART!
