100 books. 10 years. Countless challenges — but stories that endure. As #BannedBooksWeek comes to an end on Oct 11, 📚 take a moment to see the most challenged books of the past decade. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3KFMsK8 #Booksky #Bookish #LibraryLove #CheckOutYourLibrary #FreedomToRead #LibbyApp

Heaven... Current read: Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones, a book I feel as if was written personally for me that I want to ask Tayari SO many questions...! #BookSky

My world will never be the same again... 1700 pages done, I'm completely bereft & wondering what I'm going to do now! I already miss Elena & Lila What a masterful work on female friendship, complex and toxic relationships, and the struggle of breaking away from poverty 💙💙💙💙 #BookSky

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk, speaking in an Turning Point USA event on April 5, 2023. #CharlieKirk

Writers have always been on the ground of political movements, as artists they speak out about the climate they live in So it's disappointing that so many of today's writers have nothing to say about what's happening in the world or the UK Do they not have an opinion on anything?

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

It means so much to me that folk are bringing the Two Roberts back to life.

I just found the prettiest little free library I ever did see! #BookSky

It’s a privilege to be noticed by reviewers, as Books pages shrink. It’s an actual joy to be critiqued so closely by a reviewer who places me and you (the reader) in a threesome with The Two Roberts, my two central characters. 🍾 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

August wrap up It'll be a tough one to beat, so many amazing standout books, and 3 for women in translation month I hope September has as many treats! #Booksky

I’ve written about making art when it feels like the world is ending, about living truthfully in a homophobic world, about the Two Roberts in the 1940s. And a lot of it feels very…now.

As much as I'm living in denial it'll be summer forever, it is in fact September 1st Which means it's publishing day for this wonderful witchy tale that's so compelling I couldn't put it down I see you all putting out your pumpkin decs, this is the perfect cozy read! #BookSky

Onto the second of the Neapolitan Novels I'm reading as one long epic all together While it may not be Naples, I've fled to the coast with the girls! I'm utterly enthralled 💙

We have a treat for you today - a sneak peek into the first chapter of feminist fantasy Witchborne by @rgrosvenorauthor.bsky.social 3 days before it comes out into the world! flyonthewallpress.substack.com/p/a-witch-is... #books📚💙 #fantasyauthor @inpressbooks.bsky.social

I've had this series for years on my shelves, saving it for the right time I don't know if the time is right, but I'm tired of waiting... I'm going in! #BookSky

Frightening and important piece for any Brit looking at the US collapse and thinking it couldn't happen here. It could, and there are people out there right now who want it to.

I've heard of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... But I've never heard of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters!!!! #BookSky

We’ve loved getting to know the authors longlisted for the #BookerPrize2025. Read each of the interviews here ⤵️ thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l...

Good morning. We are open.

If you know me, you know I cling on to summer until late October... But I couldn't resist this witchy read and I haven't been able to put it down! Witchborne comes out September 1, so perfect timing for your autumn reading... (While I live in denial that it's still summer #BookSky

Recent spoils of book hauls I'll have to be stopped eventually... #BookSky

I love these mini clothbounds, they're one of my favourite collections And another women in translation pick... Territory of Light by Yūko Tsushima #BookSky

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

On this day in 1991, the World Wide Web was made public. Which is pretty cool. But books are cooler.

We’ve had a quiet August with no live events (yes, we remembered what days off feel like!) but we’re back to it… ✨ Miriam Margolyes at Stockton Globe 15/9✨ Not many tickets left 👀 so come enjoy an unforgettable night, and of course come say hi to us too! www.stocktonglobe.co.uk/shows/miriam...

As it's women in translation month, I thought I'd read from my favourite translated author Convenience Store Woman stuck with me so much I still talk about it weekly This one sounds worlds away... #witmonth #BookSky

If you preorder The Two Roberts from my own wee bookshop you are helping to fund the gay agenda. You should know that. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

This kind of thing always blows my mind when I'm reading a book It's a special magic when it's set on the very day you're sitting there reading it! #BookSky

The year is 2025 The world is too hot it's on fire Water and food are so expensive they're a luxury An authoritarian president Donner is running the free world Oh and it's dystopian, apparently...? #BookSky

P.S. Thank you to @foylesforbooks.bsky.social Charing Cross Rd for stocking me!

I always love being lost in John Irving's world, for me he's like a modern day Dickens He never disappoints me (so far) I was particularly stuck by the sympathetic treatment of a trans woman character, written in the 70s and yet handled with dignity & care by fellow feminists #BookSky
