Hi Bluesky! I'm Secondhand Reads, a refugee from TikTok. Once a week, I review books that I got secondhand. Books from used bookstores, little libraries, regular libraries, and exchanges all count. I want to show the variety of books you can get used.

Hi! So, my internet setup had to be replaced and I totally forgot to edit my review for this week. So, have Rachel Maksy turning herself into a walking library instead! Will get back to posting reviews on Friday

This book isn't getting a review but I NEED y'all to see its cover: Alternate Warriors by Mike Resnick.

A photo of Alternate Warriors by Mike Resnick. The cover features an incredibly detailed painting of a muscular Mahatma Gandhi holding a rocket launcher with explosions going off in the background. The subheader says "This time they're not turning the other cheek...!"

Literary Kitties! 📚🐈✨

Two of my most successful prints EVER. Shout out to my stream chat for helping me brainstorm cat puns for the book titles, that was so much fun!

#art #illustration #cats #reading #books #cute #puns
A tuxedo cat looks over its should as it sits on a stack of books in front of a window. To the left, text reads "Why Read When Can Pets?". The book titles are all cat puns ("The Great Catsby", "The Complete Hercule Purrrot", etc.) A black cat mischievously climbs on a row of books next to a potted plant and in front of a window. The book titles are all cat puns ("I, Clawdius", "Cat 22", etc.)

A special guest blessed the bookshop with a surprise visit today. . . .

#songoftheweek: Humata by Farya Faraji #music

Honestly, Farya Faraji's whole channel is worth diving into. He specializes in well-researched recreations of historical music and different cultural music traditions across the globe. It's stellar work!
