I’m never going back, mixed media journals forever #booksky #journaling
A hand drawn journal page showing a red bookcase with blank books on the shelves. The first six books are colored in to match the legend to the left indicating how many stars a book received. The bookcase also features plants, flowers, mushrooms, yarn, and a skull. A cute cat sits on a pillow on top. The top of the page reads “2025 Book Tracking”. Two banners to the left of the bookcase read “DNF” and “Paused” as a way to track these books as well. Finally, a cute sticker takes up the bottom left corner of the page. It is of a smiling gray cat behind a purple book with the title “Read banned books”. A banner across the bottom of the sticker reads “gain hidden knowledge”. A hand drawn reading tracker page on a multi media journal. The left side of the page reads “Reading tracking” in vertical letters. The top of the page shows ten drawings of books, all in different colors to represent the different amounts of pages and minutes of reading milestones achieved per day. Below that a chart with a square for every day of the year is filled with the corresponding colors up until the fourth of May. The colors are more muted the less reading is done and brighter towards the middle of the spectrum, then bright but dark towards the more unrealistic (for me) amounts.

Me live during the last 6% of this FUCKING BOOK: #thestarlesssea
A black woman wearing headphones with hard to see tears in her eyes A black woman wearing headphones and staring off camera in what looks like disgust but is more a mix of confusion and disbelief A black woman wearing headphones laying down in the sun, having given absolutely the fuck up because what is HAPPENING in this book?! Her orange and pink sunset water bottle sits in the foreground bearing two stickers of eyes that are peeling away. A black woman in headphones scrunched up in fearful anticipation at what this author is going to hit them with next.

A screenshot of an audiobook in Libro FM. The book is “the starless sea” by Erin Morganstern. The track title is “Another Place, Another Time: Interlude II”. underneath this it says “Track 31 of 95”. A third subtitle says “listened to 7 hours 30 minutes, 40 percent”. The progress bar shows that a three minute track is almost over, with only 4 seconds left.

All Hail the Titty Eyeball UFO #stilllearningtodraw #badartisstillfun #ufo
A page header says “Draw Your UFO”. Underneath is an amateur drawing of a giant pair of lilac boobs with three open eyeballs stacked on the right boob and two eyeballs on the left. One of the left eyeballs is open, the other is closed. Teardrops fall down the boobs toward the eyes from an unknown source. Darker purple stairs or ship levels are between the boobs and to each side of them. The levels look vaguely like curved steps from where the neck would be to the base of the space ship, which is a flared blue violet with a dark purple edge. Where the clavicle would be on the boobs there’s another eye, possibly the source of the tears. Above that is a pedestal with a final eye that has segments like a fly’s eye. The ship is held up by purple thrusters on the bottom and giant silver fairy wings. A vague silver outline of light beams down onto the countryside (drawn by the book illustrator, not this user). A figure stands on top of a car signaling to be beamed up. Two stick figures (these drawn by the user) hover in mid air with wings as if to assist the Boob Eye Ship.

Constantly!
A drawing of a tree god with tree branch hands and a wooden mask with antlers, the rest of its being covered in leaves colored in shades of red and green. Light red and green ghosts rise out of the tree branch arms. A masked raccoon is on the left tree branch and a masked owl on the left. In front of the tree god is a fire pit surrounded by red violet skulls and bones. Two creatures with big Dino like features sit facing the fire out and tree god. To the left one has a bowl of soup, a fur cape, and boots. To the right the other has a laptop, backpack, and heels.

shut up its fun and eventually I’ll stop bc of depression let me have this #febuaryreads #booksky
A graphic with “reading plans” in bold letters at the top. Underneath in smaller letters it says “subject to change” in parentheses. Yet smaller letters say “version five, February twelfth 2025”. To its left is a stack of books graphic, and to the right a progress bar that shows 14% progress. The word February sits in bold letters over a set of book covers. If you’ll have me by Eunnie and Heartstopper volume 5 by Alice Oseman both have green check marks over them to indicate they have been read. Boyfriends by refrainbow and technically yours by Denise Williams are underneath, both with red exes to indicate a DNF. A dish best served hot by Natalie caña and the starless sea by Erin morgenstern both have “in progress” indicators on them. The starless sea has headphones on the side to show it is an audiobook. All of the other books are untouched, indicating they haven’t been started. February has Act Your Age Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert, three blank covers that read “on trial” one through three. The first on trial book also says it’s a book club book. The first one is in February but the last two sit under the header for March. They’re followed by Assassin’s apprentice by Robin Hobb, the thief by Megan Whalen Turner, the neurodivergent friendly DBT workbook, mockingjay and the ballad of songbird and snakes by Suzanne collins, and she who became the sun by Shelley Parker-Chan.

I stg I will read a cute romance novel this month or so help me!! Giving up on the cursed kitten bookmark for good luck. #booksky #romance #adishbestservedhot
A paperback book sitting on top of a blanket and pillow. The book is “A Dish Best Served Hot” by Natalie Caña. On the cover is a tall tan to brown skinned man with short black hair, mustache and beard. He wears a plaid flannel over a shirt with jeans. He is turning to the right to smile gently down at the other character, a curvy woman with lighter skin and wavy brown hair. She wears hoop earrings, a dark jacket, possibly leather, and a contrasting dark dress with a small flower pattern. Behind the couple is a sunrise or sunset sky and a Ferris wheel. Above the Ferris wheel it says “A Vega family love story.” Next to the book there is a bookmark of a doe standing in the forest.

Okay trying again with a “blind date with a book” I got in valentines 2023/2024. Wish me luck! #booksky #romance #technicallyyours
A paperback book called “Technically Yours” by Denise Williams. On the cover there’s an illustration of a dancing couple embracing happily. Half of the couple is a woman with long dark hair, brown skin, and wearing a yellow formal gown. The other is a white man in jeans and a hoodie. Next to the book is a bookmark portraying an adorable kitten in a field of flowers. Finally, there is a brown wrapping that previously held the book. It has a note on the front that reads: “A meet cute between two people in STEM rekindles after eight years”. Beneath this is a list of tropes with hand drawn hearts for bullet points. It lists workplace romance, elevator meet cute, he falls firsts, and BIPOC author and story.

This is already ART. Even the title page is stunning? Hello? #booksky #boyfriends
An image of the graphic novel Boyfriends by Refrainbow. The cover has a pink background and features adorable drawings of boys, one large central character and several chibis floating around him. Beside the book is a bookmark featuring a wide eyed kitten sitting in flowers. The bookmark rests on a pillow shaped like a skull.

TWO WEEK STREAK BABY LETS GOOOOO #booksky #storygraph
An orange flame icon sit next to the number fourteen, also orange. This number indicates the consecutive days the poster has read one page or minute a day. Underneath the number 14 is the header “current reads” with “3” in parentheses. Glimpses of three boot covers are at the bottom of the image, showing the partial covers for Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman, an introduction to art techniques, and the starless sea audiobook by Erin morganstern.

I will never not be awed by the genius of this character design. What a subtly adorable little-guy-in-my-pocket type creation. #heartstopper #booksky
An image of a cartoon boy in his late teens. His name is Nick. Floppy blonde hair falls over his forehead, his eyes are set close together and wide with innocence and adoration. A simple curved line smile displays yet more innocence and cuteness.

Love changing my plans immediately within 24hrs bc that’s what makes life worth living #booksky #readingplans
A set of sixteen book covers on a gradient background of pale peach and warm pink. The title at the top says “reading plans”. A smaller subtitle says “subject to change” inside parenthesis. A final, smaller subtitle says “version 2, February 3rd 2025”. There’s a graphic to the left of a stack of books, and one to the right of a rainbow curve progress bar. The bar is at zero percent. The books listed are if you’ll have me by eunnie, Heartstopper volume 5 by Alice Oseman, boyfriends by refrainbow, three books with hidden covers and the titles “blind date” one through three. The starless sea by Erin morgenstern with headphones to indicate it’s an audiobook. Three more hidden covers except these have the label “on trial”. Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb , the thief by Megan Whalen Turner also in audio format, the neurodivergent friendly DBT workbook, mockingjay and the ballad of songbirds and snakes by Suzanne collins, and finally she who became the sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

This cannot stay unseen in my IG comment history. This is my truth and I stand by it. #writerappreciation #excellenceinsmutappreciation
A screenshot of an instagram comment from user janaedonim. It reads “I have been saying for ages that a writer who can pull off genuinely good smut with no cringe has the highest possible level of skill in this discipline. More precise than a surgeon, cooler under pressure than all the marines. It is a rare talent and a hard won skill and people do not appreciate that enough.”

We make reading plans so God can laugh, right? #booksky #tbr #2025tbr
An image of four sets of four book covers. The top reads “reading plans” and “subject to change”. Under the header February we see the covers for “If you’ll have me” by Eunnie, Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman, Boyfriends by Refrainbow, and The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. The Starless Sea has headphones beside it to indicate an audiobook. Also in February are three pink stand in covers, each one representing a blind date with a book. For March we start with three white stand in covers, all titled “On Trial” and numbered one through three. Then we have the titles “An Introduction to art techniques” and “the artist’s everything handbook by Kate Wilson”. The last headed reads “March/April???” Indicating we don’t know the timeline for these books being read. The books are “Secrets to drawing realistic faces”, “drawing and painting people”, “the assassin’s apprentice” by Robin hobb, and the audiobook for the The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. The title reads “non planned books I intend to read in 2025” underneath are the book covers for “masquerade” by o.o. Sangoyomi, “Bound” by Shannon Elliot, “captive prince by c.s. Pacat” and “tiger tiger volume 1” by Petra Erika nordlund l. Under captive prince is a blue star and text reading “friend rec”. Next to masquerade are headphones to indicate this is an audiobook. The image title reads “non planned books I intend to read in 2025”. Underneath are the book covers for “listen for the lie” by Amy tintera, “house of hunger” by Alexis Henderson, “fangs volume 1” by Billy Balibally, and “bite of loyalty” by R. L. Caulder. Listen for the lie has headphones to indicate it’s an audiobook, while house of hunger and fangs have a brown hand holding a rainbow flag to indicate queer representation. Finally bite of loyalty has the text “ig made me buy it” underneath.

As a teenager I was adamant that my dream woman, my Mrs. Right, would be a woman variant of Zayn Malik.
This artist 100% did telepathic espionage and I’m very grateful.
#ifyoullhaveme
A graphic novel panel of a beautiful masc Asian woman with a scar on her cheek. She wears a black turtleneck and one bang falls over her eye. The text bubble reads “see, you’re bleeding!” This art is from the graphic novel If You’ll Have Me, as are the other images in this post. Two panels of a graphic novel that show an Asian woman with a band aid on her face. In the top panel she is laughing and the text bubble reads “Haha”. She wears a black crop turtleneck and gray pants. In the bottom pal she smiles with one eye hidden by a bang. The text bubble reads “Jeez. I really got it wrong, huh? Sorry for getting mad.” One panel of a graphic novel showing the same character described in the previous images. Here she is clearly angry and defiant while speaking the text bubble “…you can say it to my face.”

Feb 1st, of course romance is on the menu. 🍽️🧑🏾‍🍳 #booksky #newread #queerromance
An image of a book leading against a pile of blankets. The book is titled “If you’ll have me” by Eunnie. On the cover a tall tan skinned person with short, straight black hair stands facing bf away from the viewer, their face turned to look down and back at the character in the center. The central character is posed facing the reader with her back to the other protagonist so their backs are touching. The shorter feminine character has warm dark skin, glasses, and auburn wavy hair. She holds a dandelion, as if in reference to making a wish. Above the book half of a skull looking pillow is visible. To the left of the book is a bookmark that depicts an ice cream cone where instead of ice cream cats of various colors are piled on top.

An image of a audiobook cover for “Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley”. The cover illustration shows a determined brown skinned girl with a scar over her left eye. The timeline of the book shows the book is at 70% complete. A close up photo of a black person reacting to the audiobook in the previous image. Their hand covers their mouth and tears glisten in their eyes.
