✨BOOK CLUB✨ January #Books 📖 📚 JUST FOR THE SUMMER A summer fling, meant to break a dating curse, becomes complicated when they catch feelings. 📚 SORCERY OF THORNS A librarian must clear her name & protect the world's libraries by teaming up with a sorcerer. #booksky #amreading #writingcommunity

✨BOOK CLUB✨ Happy New Year! I've loved sharing my thoughts and hearing yours with every book we've finished. Reading incentivises curiosity and critical thinking; getting to interact with people who share these values means the world to me. Here's to another year of the same 🥂🎆 #amreading #BookSky

✨BOOK CLUB✨ Our Divine Mischief was about dashed hopes leading to unexpected blessings. The Irish folklore gave the story a charming, earthy feel. The plot took an unusual but satisfying turn at the midpoint. It was adventurous & tender with the right amount of whimsy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky #amreading

Procrastination is usually fueled by the fear of imperfection. The best writers are great editors, so don't waste your time trying to produce a flawless first draft. Just finish the damn thing!

Merry Sickmas 🤢🎄 I've been stricken with the holiday plague. I'll be spending the day reading and trying to keep liquids down. Send cute animal pics and book recommendations 🥲 I hope your holiday is going better than mine!

✨BOOK CLUB✨ Unpredictable in the best way, We Used to Love Here kept pulling the rug out from under me. The descriptions were immersive and the plot fast paced. Every turn felt intentional. I’m stoked to have ended the year with this five-star read! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky #writingcommunity #books

At a birthday party my daughter was invited to, the host mom mentioned they have a 4th son on the way. She said, "I wish I knew why we keep having boys." Not able to help myself, I proceeded to school her on the speed and vitality of each gendered sperm. The look she gave me... Im so unsocialized 🥲

Devastated to discover that getting some proper aerobic exercise for an hour drastically improved both my energy and productivity today, and also resulted in me making better drawings?? Rude 😤

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

⭐My 2025 Five Star Reads⭐ 📚 Project Hail Mary 📚 Between Two Fires 📚 Table for Two 📚 We Used to Live Here ✨Honorable Mentions✨ 📚 The Unmaking of June Farrow 📚 Golden Son 📚 Dungeon Crawler Carl #writingcommunity #booksky

How's everyone doing on their reading goals? This is the first year I'm not making a mad dash to the finish line. #booksky #writingcommunity

Motherhood encapsulates a kaleidoscope of disciplines. The child is the teacher, test, and study materials.

Since I'm the only girl in my family, people assume I'm "daddy's girl" when in reality I'm just my father's ✨prettiest son✨

✨BOOK CLUB✨ Our December Picks 📖 📚 We Used to Live Here by Kliewer New visitors arrive with memories that don't match reality, and the past starts pushing back 📚 Our Divine Mischief by Howard A stolen relic drags two teens into a wild journey where every choice reshapes fate. #booksky #books

I'm three #books shy from reaching my reading goal this year! Unfortunately, nothing on my TBR list is under 400 pages 🥲

My husband added a bunch of cookbooks to his wishlist. I threw them all in the cart then asked if he wanted hard or soft copies. He goes, "Copies? I only want a couple." I blinked at him. He blinked back. Then he said, "You were about to buy them all, weren't you?" I LIKE #BOOKS, OKAY?? Sue me 😤

I hate that traditional publishing has made it necessary for writers to hustle on social media. I just want silly, goofy times with some book besties 🥲

✨BOOK CLUB✨ I wanted to love The Lilac People more than I did. The main character's constant anguish made it hard to connect, especially besides Karl's tragic but quieter grief. The LGBTQ+ history along side well-timed suspense gave the story depth beyond its flaws. ⭐⭐⭐ #booksky #writingcommunity

We don't need AI. We need a network of reliable autistic people to ask our niche questions to.

AI is robbing artistic fields & is unethically sourcing content to feed the machine. But can AI be used as a tool outside of creative fields? My gut says to hold the line until they have more ethical practices. But what would have to change to make AI use acceptable? #writingcommunity #art #booksky

Writing is so strange. You sit alone inventing people and somehow discover more about yourself in the process. It's a playground for introspection. #WritingCommunity

✨BOOK CLUB✨ Our November #book picks: 📚 The Lilac People by Todd In 1930s Berlin a trans man and his partner must escape a world determined to erase them. 📚 One Dark Window by Gillig A woman bound to a demon joins a highwayman's quest as she fights for her freedom and his heart. Happy reading!

CAUTION: there's a chance that tiny throwaway plot twist you added for fun becomes the entire emotional core of your book, and now you're rewriting 40k words to make it make sense.

I'm doing the ADHD reader thing where I try to read 4 books at once. Is it a sign of dysregulation or is my TBR pile staging a coup? #booksky #writingcommunity

Reading feels sacred in autumn. The air cools, the earth softens, and the smallest story becomes a comfort. Books and blankets were made for this season 🍂 #booksky #writingcommunity

I tried waking up early to write today. Turns out my muses don't clock in until 10AM. #writingcommunity

Okay guys... I'm up at 5am doing the thing. Am I a writer now? Because if this is what it takes idk if I'm down 🫩 #writingcommunity

Oh hey, people-pleasing eldest daughter with ADHD who reads a lot of fantasy #books and loves the Mr. Darcy hand-flex in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice... Do you want to be friends? #booksky #writingcommunity

Went to my local scarecrow competition yesterday and was not disappointed. #booksky #writingcommunity #books

Me: rage crying after therapy because someone integral in my life is being a butthead. Me later: 😭😠😐🤔🤓✍️ Oh, all this pain? Just put it in the book! #booksky #writingcommunity

I heard someone say that a book with 5k reviews was a rare find. Social media numbers have become harder to contextualize. One thousand doesn't look like a lot on paper, but you put those same people in a room and it's staggering! #booksky #writingcommunity

Writing can feel daunting right up until it doesn't. Getting down one good sentence can make you believe in yourself again. Every draft I chase that moment. #writingcommunity #booksky

I saw this headline and had to take in a big breath because WHY IS THIS TRUE?? share.google/JPbstFvT1kQz... #booksky #writingcommunity

✨BOOK CLUB✨ Between Two Fires is equal parts brutal and beautiful. It reads like folklore mixed with scripture, using parable-like encounters to explore themes of sin and redemption. It’s grim, captivating, and kept me thinking well past the last page. Easily my fav read this year. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky

I asked my brother to borrow a banned #book through his library for me and found out he's NEVER had a library card. He's in his mid-thirties... He's getting one to help me and, somewhere, a librarian got her wings 🧚🏼‍♀️ #booksky #writingcommunity

Me: Even as a kid, I wondered why Hogwarts students didn't die more. They let kids carry and train with the equivalent of guns. Also, you're telling me a school with moving staircases doesn't have daily instances of accidental murder? Interviewer: I meant questions about the job... #booksky #books

I was able to predict a significant call back in a show my husband and I were watching last night. He said, "How'd you know that would happen?" I shrugged and said, "It's good writing..." Then, after a beat, we both said in unison, "Or it's the ADHD." #writingcommunity #booksky

Media pushes the idea that to be a strong female character she must be masculine. There are things about womanhood that are feminine AND strong. Give her flaws that move the story. Give her strengths that celebrate her identity. #writingcommunity #booksky

🎃BOOK CLUB🎃 Local Missing Woman builds tension through its shifting timelines and distinct perspectives. The twists were genuinely satisfying. I'll admit I got impatient at times, but that's probably a me problem instead of a pacing issue. Kubica makes you earn every reveal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky #books

I do small things as a reader to put my dollars and attention where it matters. I started using StoryGraph instead of Goodreads. I order from ThriftBooks instead of Amazon and I only use my kindle to read library #books. It isn't much, but it helps me sleep at night 🤷🏽‍♀️ #writingcommunity #booksky
