Have any Hugo Voters on here gotten approved for A Drop of Corruption through the Netgalley link? I hate NG as distribution for voter packet materials because it tanks my review % when I don't review them, but at least in the past all the links were for immediate download. #HugoAwards #SFF

The second screenshot option I didn't end up using for the thumbnail of my "Unsexy Fairies" book recs video is too cute a photo not to share! Really feeling myself here! 🧚‍♀️🌟🖤

Starting in half an hour!

I was asked to recommend fairy books that aren't romantasy, so here you go, The Great Unsexy Fairy Book Recommendations Video! #boosky #booktube #sff 🪐📚 youtu.be/rBoVj0cJmU0

Hey friends, the Stitch & Bitch crew are planning a special livestream this afternoon to react to the Hugo shortlist! It'll be me, @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, @bookishdi.bsky.social, and @bookfinch.bsky.social (sadly no Rachel 😢) at 12 pm PT/2 pm CT/3 pm ET/10 pm EET youtube.com/live/5pJJJYW...

I got some quick Hugo Awards predictions posted as a short-form video before the nominees are announced tomorrow! It's on both TikTok and YouTube Shorts! #booksky #booktok #booktube #HugoAwards #sff 🪐📚 www.tiktok.com/@thefancyhat...

So I was editing a Hugo predictions video in TikTok and the whole thing somehow completely deleted itself when I tried to add a forbidden number of image overlays. 😭 I have now made a single-image collage, but am pissed about having to re-film the video.

We’ll be live in one hour!

Tomorrow, join @kalanadi.bsky.social, @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social, @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social and I for April's Stitch & Bitch! We'll be going live at 11 am PT/1 pm CT/2 pm ET/8 pm EET youtube.com/live/JXEhoX0...

Weekend morning boost for the new video!

New #booktube video, and it's an unhaul for the new(ish) year! #booksky #sff 🪐📚 youtu.be/oWbmfwzunF4

Friends, I have just picked up a library hold on a new title (I'm the first person to read this copy) and got it home to find the dust jacket is taped on upside down. This is extremely funny to me, but now I cannot read the book in public, can I? 🤣

A few of my favorite looks from today's Easter Bonnet Parade! #EasterBonnet #EasterBonnetParade #NYC

My hat and outfit for today's Easter Bonnet Parade! I was there for a little over an hour before the rain started to be too much.

I believe it is good for the soul to be the weird thing someone saw on the subway every once in a while (Easter Bonnet Parade photos to come.)

Stitch & Bitch is a group liveshow series on YouTube that is hosted in rotation by myself and my co-hosts @bookishdi.bsky.social, @kalanadi.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social, and sometimes @breereadsbooks.bsky.social. We chat about what we're reading, crafting, watching, and more!

#HugoAwards nominations are closing soon, so this is my last-minute eligibility announcement that I have two things eligible in Best Fancast: the Stitch & Bitch liveshow series and my BookTube channel The Fancy Hat Lady Reads!

Today on my channel! We've got a lot to talk about on our March Stitch & Bitch livestream what with awards season, etc. We'll be discussing books, crafts, media, and more! 2:00 Eastern, check your time zones if you're in a country where the clocks haven't changed. youtube.com/live/NIynpuO...

2:00 Eastern today! I am just two days post-surgery and will be joining on audio only, but definitely need to talk about the Olympic figure skating! (and books and stuff)

I’m awake and doing well following my surgery! I’m gonna not be online until I’ve had a chance to watch the figure skating though because I don’t want spoilers. 😉

The monthly liveshow I co-host with @kalanadi.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social, @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social, and @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, Stitch & Bitch, is eligible for Best Fancast this year www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

During the Olympics??? Don't they know figure skating fans need those Etsy witches to send healing and luck to their favorite skaters?!? (This is a joke, obviously this hurts people's businesses no matter when it happens, but also this is a real thing skating fans have been doing this season.)

Camera cut to JD Vance in attendance after Chock/Bates skated their rhythm dance in the team event. Boo. Hiss. Hope he hates 90s music and was suffering. ⛸️

Personal health update: I will be having a laparoscopic surgery next Friday with an estimated recovery time of 2 weeks. This has been planned for months, and I will have a family member here to help me, but I expect to be a little absent from social media/booktube for a bit.

I haven't watched the new ice dance documentary on Netflix yet (it just dropped yesterday) and don't know how much of this it gets into, but thought I should share this link where some fans have compiled some background info on one of the three teams featured: skatingaccountability.notion.site

There are couple different people who keep coming up on my TikTok fyp, one talking about film and the other about theatre, and it's been bugging me how wildly familiar they seem. Finally did a bit of internet sleuthing and realized that's because I went to college with both of them. 🤦‍♀️

The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia!

I am thinking it's a pajama livestream sort of day.

Stitch 'n Bitch is back today! Come join me, @bookishdi.bsky.social , @bookfinch.bsky.social , and @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social at 11 PT/1pm CT/2pm ET/10pm EET, for all the chat about crafts, books, and media we've been enjoying: www.youtube.com/live/gB-72YY...

Here it is: 10 Favorite Authors from 10 Years on BookTube. #booktube #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/SWBN-Zlq3eM

Hey, so it's the 10-year anniversary of my BookTube channel today, and I have a celebratory video filmed before Christmas scheduled to go live in approximately... 15 minutes. I have just woken up and am aware that world events have... sure done a thing while I was asleep. Sorry for the bad timing.

4 out of 5 stars to Mad Sisters of Esi by Tashan Mehta on Goodreads: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I have decided that even though I am now in Michigan I’m going to pretend I’m still on the west coast and give myself until 3am to finish my last book of the year. Shh, don’t tell anyone. 😉 #booksky

3 out of 5 stars to East by Edith Pattou on Goodreads: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

It's the third year I've made this roasted vegetable hummus platter for Christmas at my vegan dad's house. It's way too complicated a recipe to manage in my apartment kitchen at home, but a very delicious holiday tradition, and very photogenic!
