Kaylin Butler Resh is one of the most astounding, kind, beautiful souls I have ever had the absolute honor of meeting. Those who know me well have heard me talk about the impact that she made on me during one of the darkest periods of my life. I truly wouldn't be here or who I am today without her.

See you on Sunday! #booksky📚💙 #SilentBookClub #JacksonvilleNC

A quick montage of the books we read at the meeting on Saturday. A lot of folks were reading Innamorata, as that is a book club pick for the indie book store in Jacksonville. #booksky📚💙 #SilentBookClub #JacksonvilleNC

A quick video of our meeting at Blend Cafe, including the books we are reading! #booksky📚💙 #SilentBookClub #JacksonvilleNC

I'm reading Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry currently. I have a 2.5 hour drive later today so I'll be finishing Morning Star by Pierce Brown and probably starting another to be determined audiobook! 📚✨ #booksky #books #readers #whatareyoureading

#nowreading Accomplice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer Also still slowly making my way through Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Update: This book was fantastic. I loved every stress inducing moment. #booksky #readersky #books

I just finished chapter 24 of The Second Death of Locke and I may never be okay again. #booksky #readersky #books

I haven't been using my account to its full potential - but it will probably become a fan account for @sbcjacksonvillenc.bsky.social / @silentbookclub.bsky.social (I am one of the hosts) #booksky #silentbookclub #jacksonvillenc #northcarolina #readersky

Scrolling through Pinterest to disassociate is much nicer than basically any other social media.

I love the Silent Book Club here in #JacksonvilleNC ✨📚 #booksky #readersky #onslow

I don't want to share photos of my friends without their consent, but basically my friend group is a bunch of baddies with incredible style and I aspire to their level 🥰😍

I've recently been just feeling so emotionally fulfilled by the community I have found in the past year or so. I'm so thankful.

I hope this email finds you on the couch with the necessary amount of blankets, snacks, and pets

Have you heard of silent book club? It’s a free-form reading group that helps folks get in time to read and socialize! #booksky💙📚 #JacksonvilleNc

I started Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer yesterday because I desperately need nonfiction reminders that there are people in this world who care deeply for the planet, the spirits who reside here and their fellow humans. #booksky #witchsky #animism #community

Last month was so hectic and we got snow in Eastern NC to start off February so I have been a little off track! I didn't have a particularly productive month reading, but still read some really fantastic books. Excited for more this year! #booksky #readersky #wrapup #books #reader

Rest. Resist. Rest.

Jacksonville, NC SBC's next @silentbookclub.bsky.social meetup is scheduled! If you're in Onslow County of the surrounding area, we'd love to see you there!!! #enc #booksky #northcarolina #jacksonvillenc

I am about 40% through Red Rising- can someone please dm me with character art for Darrow, Cassius, and Sevro? #booksky #readersky #redrising

Finally finished book 4 of the year- The Things Gods Break by Abigail Owen. I see what she was going for, but I don't think it was for me. #booksky #readersky

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally? Home, reading a book, sitting with my partner while he plays a video game and one of the pets naps on him 🥰

Random autoimmune/fibromyalgia flare started yesterday and has slowly just been getting worse and worse. Thankful it's a 3 day weekend, a little less thankful to have already made plans Saturday and Sunday 😅😵‍💫 #chronicillness #autoimmune #scleroderma #fibromyalgia

Silent Book Club is a wonderful way for introverts to socialize. I recommend even extroverts to try it out!

I hope this reaches people in the area! A few friends and I (including @theamazingkimmoth.bsky.social) are starting a new @silentbookclub.bsky.social chapter in Jacksonville, NC! Look us up on Facebook and Instagram! #booksky #silentbookclub #jacksonvillenc #northcarolina #readersky

Empire of the Dawn by @misterkristoff.bsky.social is absolutely perfect. I'm 57% through the audiobook and it has been bloody brilliant so far. Adoringly calling the author a bastard every time a piece falls into place. As Gabriel de Leon would say, "Fuck. My. Face." #booksky #readersky #EotV

SO excited for both of these books! I have been anticipating reading these both and am planning to read these as my first two non fiction books of 2026! #booksky #witchsky #readersky #animism #folkmagic

My first book of the year was the last book in The Winternight Trilogy. I finished it this morning and I fear I will never recover from this absolutely gorgeous series. 10/10, 5 stars, go read it! #booksky #books

A small bit of my reading summary for 2025! Overall I had a really enjoyable year of books. #booksky #books #reading #reader #wrapup

The Winternight Trilogy is emotionally devastating me in the best possible way. I absolutely loved the first two books. Doubtful I can squeeze the last book in by year's end, but I love ending a year and starting the next with such phenomenal reads. #booksky #katherinearden #winternight

Christmas Day 2020 was the last day my Dad breathed his last breath without assistance, spending the last weeks of his life on a ventilator. No one tells you how holiday joy and cheer dies with the loss of a loved one. It's been 5 years and I still don't know how to get it back. #grief #loss

Starting a reread of The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden as my last book of the year (probably)! It hasn't been very cold where I live in NC, so I am really enjoying the wintery atmospheric writing as Yuletide begins and Christmas nears. #booksky #books #thebearandthenightingale

Got to go see a live orchestra perform The Muppet Christmas Carol today! Such a great show. It's been so long since I've seen an orchestra play and I missed it so much.

What is your all-time favorite Christmas movie? The Snowman (1982)- I have only met a handful of people who have even heard of this, but I watch it every year and it brings me so much comfort. #christmas #snowman

My reading speed has been sooo slow this month. Really hoping I can pick up the pace and reach 70 books read for the year 🤞 #booksky

This is the first few books on my TBR for the month. I'm currently reading Brimstone by @calliehartauthor.bsky.social and listening to Empire of the Dawn by Jay Kristoff (I am so behind on relistening and I NEED to get to book 3 😵‍💫) #booksky #tbr

I think this December/January I want to read the Winternight trilogy - I only read the first book before (maybe 2 years ago now?) but I loved it. What are some of your recommendations for wintery books? #booksky

It has been a hot minute since I have been on here, but I miss posting about my reading journey! #booksky
