I started listening to The Guncle this morning on my way to work, and again on my way home— I keep chuckling out loud I love it I’d say if anyone saw me out walking they’d have thought I was 🤪🤪🤪 #booksky #audiobooks

So I’ve migrated from Goodreads to #StoryGraph, and I’ve switched from Audible to Libro.FM — slowly getting away from Amazon. I own a Kindle and still have KU and Prime. They’re next to go but need a good Kindle replacement. #booksky

#Booksky: If you haven’t already, export your data from Goodreads (an Amazon company) and import it into StoryGraph, a book-tracking app founded and led by a Black woman.

I got some awful news today about a very close family member so I probably won’t be posting anywhere for the next few days. I’ll still be lurking around reading your posts but I won’t be posting anything myself.

Time to upset some people 🤷 but here’s my #review of #onyxstorm by Rebecca Yarros. Can’t please everyone. (Review in 3rd image) #booksky

Ok #booksky I need your help: how are we sharing our #bookreviews here — are we making graphics with our full review on it because I just made a 7 part post here with my newest review and I can’t be doing that every time 🫣💀

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix (Part 1)

Before I begin, if it wasn’t obvious from the description, the plot of this and MAJOR TW is PREGNANCY like from start to finish 90% of our mc’s are pregnant girls who are sent to a the Home to give birth and then to surrender them for adoption.

Or if you’re in #Ireland the app #BorrowBox is fantastic! It allows you to take out up 5 audiobooks AND ebooks at any time — all you need is a library card! #booksky

20~ish pages left of this but I don’t want it to end — I think this is my fav Hendrix book to date. #booksky #currentlyreading

I also downloaded Libro.FM in order to cut down my use of Bezos owned companies and they gave me 2 whole extra credits just for signing up to their services. If that’s not enough of an incentive 🤩 #booksky #librofm #audiobooks

Uhoh. Jeff's throwing a tantrum. He wants better discounts from them.

You can still get Bloomsbury books from Bert's, though.
Amazon UK has said that it will cease selling Bloomsbury’s print and e-books from midnight on 23rd January, saying negotiations between the giant retailer and the publisher had broken down 👇 #BookSky

Think I found my final straw with Goodreads — they’re restricting you from changing your reviews on certain problematic author’s books 😤 #booksky #goodreads
