#TBRuary Day 28: Old Favourite. JANE EYRE by Charlotte Brontë I reread this classic every few years because I always get something new from it. I'm also trying to watch every adaptation or reimagining, so please share your favourite Jane Eyre adaptation in the comments! 😊 #BookSky

when am i NOT resisting the urge to reread while also trying to knock out my tbr😭 anyway these 3 have been pinging in my brain the loudest: #Tbruary

#TBRuary This book is the platonic ideal (for me, at least) of romantasy. The world building and storyline of both the romance and the fantasy are so good, but like peanut butter and chocolate, they each make the other better.

#TBRuary Wrap Up Thank you @lizzieblackwood.bsky.social for hosting such a fun challenge and thank you to those who participated for helping me add to my never-ending TBR!

#TBRuary 28 Hooray! Thanks for all these prompts! It was so fun! For a reread, I’m going to go with The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez! It was a book that altered my brain chemistry when I first read it, so I definitely want to reread it! (again)

#TBRuary Day 28: Old Favorite To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose This YA fantasy book isn’t old, but the way it’s written makes me feel like I’m reading a YA fantasy book from when I was a teen (in a good way)! Since book 2 just came out, a reread of book 1 is on the docket.

#TBRuary I don't do a lot of rereads, but I am very eager and excited to get back into some comics I love, including SAGA and REDLANDS. But the one I am looking forward to the most is THROUGH THE WOODS by E. M. Carroll. Their mini-comic HIS FACE ALL RED turned me on to horror all those years ago.

Shout out to @lizzieblackwood.bsky.social for hosting #TBRuary! I've been meaning to re-read this series for a while now. It is so richly written, gorgeous, and (yes) utterly heartbreaking. What other reason does a person need? #MidnightNeverCome #MarieBrennan

It's almost time for my annual reread of The Hobbit, but that's an easy answer. What I could really do with a reread of is actually the Poetic Eddas of Norse Mythology. Especially since I know Tolkien took a fair amount of inspiration from Norse Myth. Also since I follow both Freyja and Odin. :P

And here's all the books! #TBRuary

This has to be Ghost Story by Toby Litt. This book is heartbreaking but it's also so healing. It's about post-partum depression after a stillbirth. It's about how depression destroys us and how we can move forward. Read it slowly, let it hurt and let it put you back together #TBRuary

#TBRuary Day 28: Old Favorite We've made it to the end! Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Today, just tell us about one of your favorite books that you're looking forward to rereading this year and why you enjoy revisiting it. Quote post your replies. #booksky #writesky

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Not me crying and screaming when I got the best little mail today 😭💖💖💖 @mangomakes.bsky.social they’re even prettier in person! Gotta shout out Mango’s ko-fi, if you need one of these cuties for yourself— ko-fi.com/margomango_d...

#TBRuary Gotta be Coin Locker Babies I've heard about it all my life and the premise sounds really interesting Plus It inspired the plot of Yakuza: Like a Dragon

#TBRuary Day 27: Fandoms/Praise. I don’t pick books because they’ve won awards but I might learn about them through award nominations. That’s the case with BAD GAYS: A HOMOSEXUAL HISTORY by Huw Lemmey & Ben Miller It had me at “LGBTQ history [via] villains & baddies” #BookSky

I'll have to go with Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Mostly for the sake of market research lol. I typically avoid trendy books but after all this time, I am a little curious to see why it's so popular. And dragons are cool #tbruary

#TBRuary I went on a couple of dates with a trans dude a while back, and he gushed about this book. Dude and I didn't pan out, but I did buy the book. The protagonist gets the supernatural ability to change their body to what it should be? Yes, please. Also: jealous.

#TBRuary 27 Martyr! By Kaveh Akbar for Day 27! It was nominated/shortlisted for a whole bunch of awards and had a killer critical reception. Also, a good friend of mine read it and really liked it!

The fourth book in the Tarot Sequence, MISFIT CARAVAN, is coming out later this year. This small pub series has a very loyal, energetic fanbase and for good reason. (The content warnings, for book 1 in particular, are not to be taken lightly.) #TBRuary

#TBRuary Day 27: Fandoms/Praise Someone You Can Build a Nest in by John Wiswell It won a Nebula award and is described as a creepy, charming monster-slaying fantasy romance—from the perspective of the monster.” Someone drawing a picture of the cover trying to remember the title is how I found it

#TBRuary Day 26: Feral Rec Suzanne Palumbo - @sillysyntax.bsky.social posted about a two word review of her (very excellent) novella ‘Countess’. If you haven’t read it you really should. The review she posted pretty much summed up my reaction too.

I literally bought this today!! The Boat by Nam Le is a collection of shorts from all over. It has won: - Australian Book Industry Awards 2009 - Dylan Thomas Prize (UK) 2009 - Melbourne Prize for Literature 2009 - NSW Premier’s Literary Awards Book of the Year 2009 (1/4) #TBRuary

Stiff by Mary Roach has won an Alex award! I was worried there wouldn't be anything in my TBR but here we are! And given my day job working in pathology, this seems to be a good fit. #TBRuary #booksky #writesky

#TBRuary 27 This challenge has taught me that I am SUCH a mood-reader. I don't pay attention to awards. Sorry. But if I can, I would like to recommend Demon Copperhead, winner of several awards. It's a retelling of David Copperfield, which is a book I've never read, but I loved this re-imagining.

your emergency moment of calm: baby opossum eating a grape

#TBRuary 27: Asunder by Kerstin Hall is one of those books that I don't see talked about often, but every time I do, it's with an air of reverence and amazement that's deeply compelling. It was also nominated for both the Nebula and Locus awards, so it seems fitting for today!

#TBRuary Day 27: Fandoms/Praise Our penultimate prompt! Choose a book from your TBR that you selected because it won awards, got critical acclaim, or had an energetic fandom, and tell us what appealed to you personally. Quote post your replies. #booksky #writesky

#TBRuary Day 26: Feral Rec. If author, poet, and BookTuber Jen Campbell repeatedly mentions a book, I pay attention. No need to go feral. That’s why POOR THINGS by Alasdair Gray hit my TBR and bookshelf way before the film was announced. #BookSky

Reminder: we open to reprints on March 1st! We are looking for speculative stories (by 2SLGBTQIA+ authors) that cannot currently be read for free online. We will stay open to reprints until the end of March and will likely open again later this year. 📝Guidelines: othersidespec.com/guidelines/

The Ruins of Ambrai by Melanie Rawn was very enthusiastically recced by a YouTuber I used to follow (can't remember who now 😭) they said it was their fave fantasy book ever so I added it to my tbr a while back #tbruary

#TBRuary Day 26: Feral Rec The Crack at the Heart of Everything by Fiona Fenn was aggressively recommended to me by my sister, and I still haven't read it! I'm always interested in good queer fantasy!

#TBRuary Signos: A Fiction Anthology of Filipino Supernatural. I know nothing about this book at all, but @eliaseells.bsky.social’s enthusiasm for it a couple of months ago made me add it to my TBR. And I’m always down for a cool anthology.

#TBRuary I picked this up because @maurasmale.bsky.social gushed about it, then never read it. Guess I will now!

I picked up Wheel of Time solely because a buddy of mine spent an entire meal fanboying out about Androl 😆

#TBRuary 26 I’m choosing Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker! One of my favorite booktube reviewers, Plant Based Bride, said this was one of her best reads last year and every video she mentions it in makes me want to read it more!

#TBRuary Day 26: Feral Rec The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow Photo 1: the book Photo 2: the unhinged post that convinced me to add it to my TBR

usually hype makes me NOT want to read something and my reading friends read very different genres, HOWEVER! one of the technologists at work recommended The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, so that's sitting on my TBR when i have spoons for something longer. #TBRuary #booksky #writesky

#ParableoftheSower by #OctaviaButler came very highly recommended to me by an old professor of mine and when I finally got around to reading it, I LOVED it! It was a 10/10 for me. #ParableoftheTalents is next ☺️ #TBRuary #booksky #writesky #bookish #booklover #bookrec #bookreview #scifi #dystopian

both of these are recs from favorite people.😊 Ann Leckie never misses. And the mmc/LI in VOIDWALKER is apparently 5'7" and wet cat levels of pitiful. #TBRuary

Ok so this ##TBRuary will be a small thread, so buckle up. Strange Objects by Gary Crew. This is a sort of angry/spite TBR... When I was in year 12 (final year of school) an author came to speak to us for book week. Now, I cant remember what his name was or what his book was called. (1/5)

#TBRuary Day 25: Pre-order Pick Better Catch Up, Krishna Kumar by Anahita Karthik I have been following Anahita on social media for years, so of course I had to pre-order a copy of her debut which just came out earlier this year😀
