I am really enjoying this romcom #fantasy! It has enough of a plot (besides the #romance) to keep me interested, it’s fun, and spicy.

I can often get annoyed being in the main character’s head, but not with Cinnamon. I’m rooting for her the whole time!

The amount of posts I’ve seen in boardgame forums of people not worried about Chinese tariffs because “their games don’t ship directly from China,” is just more proof that most people have no idea how anything actually works or where they get all the things they enjoy on a daily basis from.

I may be struggling emotionally and luckily I’ve got some solid books I’m sinking into. Also if you want a book that encourages you to feel every bit of your rage, I highly recommend Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll. #bookworm #booksky #libraryhaul 💙📚

Like I said, I can’t stop myself from getting books from the library. My job is at the library so I’m always like why not? 💙📚 #booksky

Apparently 2025 is going to be the year of #rereads for me. I’m giving another listen to The Broken Earth trilogy AND reacquainting myself with Saga before I start the newer volumes.

Here’s a #currentread that immediately plunges you into the action. Darcy Coates is fantastic at building the tension and raising the stakes with every chapter.

Here on #Booksky, we talk a lot about Libby and digital copies of books through our public libraries. Here’s a great little video explaining the costs these ebooks have on our libraries.

Why is your Libby hold taking so long? How can you be "in line" to borrow a digital library book?

I have some thoughts on my #currentread …. I’m more than halfway and wondering where it’s going #booksky #bookworm 💙📚

Welp…it’s official. I can’t manage to be in a library and not leave without at least 2 books. ….I WORK in a library Y’all. I keep bringing home books. I can’t stop and I’m running out of surfaces in my home.

As of yesterday booksellers at The Strand are on strike. Solidarity with them. Don’t cross the picket line, even virtually.

This week has been one long reminder that the horrid people and institutions controlling or lives are less secure, less beloved, and less permanent than they want us to believe. We should accept nothing less than a world without them.
