Did you know you can find #audiobooks on #spotify if you have #spotifypremium ?? You probably did but maybe you didn’t or maybe you forgot (like I did)! 😝 What’s the last audiobook you listened to? Mine is Listen For The Lie by Amy Tintera. It was phenomenal! #booksky

There’s a caveat to this.
Indie authors HEAVILY rely on KU and Amazon to make their books accessible. Some people can’t sell directly and keep stock.
Bookstores don’t really or at all have indie books and ESPECIALLY by marginalised people.
I wish we would think about this #booksky #blackbooksky
A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

Since TikTok is now the “bad place,” I think I’m going to start posting short #booksky videos sharing what I’m reading/listening to. It would be so great if you followed! 🙏🏼

Why you shouldn’t thank Trump for “saving TikTok”

Welcome to the United States of North Korea.

A state-controlled media is NOT Freedom of Speech nor is it Freedom of Press…

This is the systemic dismantling of our First Amendment right.

When The People inevitably get violent over this, The Second Amendment will be next…

Imagine trying to ride into office as some kind of savior to restore an app THAT YOU YOURSELF SOUGHT TO BAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

This is all political theater nonsense and no one should fall for it.

TikTok has been extorted by the U.S. Government.

We all sat here and watched it happen.

Anyone else from #booktok here?? I’m looking for my fellow authors & readers. I need people to commiserate with over this stupid #tiktokban 😩

This is my lionhead bunny, Daphne. Don’t let her cuteness fool you. She is a tiny terror.
