A new romance bookshop opened up in town and I’m so excited to find a local community of book lovers! Got a good haul today

Had to pause after reading this one. I lost a good friend to cancer at 19 and sometimes I forget how young we were.

There will still be parks and grocery stores and people out with their dogs.

You will just have things you cannot say, places you cannot attend in groups larger than a certain amount.

Every time I watch #whitelotus I think of what it would be like if they featured a family with young kids then I remember that Daphne and Cameron left their kids at home last season for a reason

There’s good books where you can’t stop reading, and good books where you just want to take your time and savor the story. Sometimes I want to rush through my books but at the end of the day I want to make sure I enjoy it my way

Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works.

I’m not done with Onyx Storm yet but one thing that stuck out to me during Rebecca Yarros’ panel was how she felt a lot more confident writing this book. It really shows and I’m enjoying it more than I did Iron Flame

Finished my Fourth Wing reread. Its flaws are so much more glaringly painful on a reread. I don’t think I’ll finish Iron Flame before Onyx Storm but I do want to try avoiding the internet as much as possible tomorrow so who knows how far I’ll get 🤷🏻‍♀️

Where are my #booksky people at? I need more book friends. Here is a picture of my home library so don’t get lost. It’s cluttered at the moment because I need more shelves and I’m running out of space. #booklovers #booktok

I just checked. All you have to do is click past a popup that basically says “thanks Donald Trump” and kachow! The US Congress has no more legislative authority!
After Biden admin said they wouldn’t enforce a ban, TikTok turned access off for Americans and then back on. They say Trump (who is not yet president, and also isn’t Congress) is responsible.

Is this the political interference lawmakers were worried about?

For the benefit of #booktok refugees, I think it’s time to re-post my fantasy author starter packs. Going in reverse order this time to share the love.

Last I checked when other countries banned social media, we called it an affront to democracy and personal freedoms. We also called their leaders fascists and tyrants.

...Guess it's OK to do it here.

Welcome to the new normal.
