#booksky, what's the secret to unlocking auto-approval from publishers on NetGalley? This isn't a pity post, just a general ask for tips. 🤞🏼I'm 4 years into reviewing books on NG with a 97% rating and 6.5K combined followers across platforms. I know that's a modest following, is it just too small?

I love dual timelines — how they shift your views throughout the novel and unravel a mystery as layers of history come together. In the Forage & Ferry Reader Society, our February book selection highlights 12 excellent books with dual timelines. Have you read any? 💙📚 #BookList #BookClub #ReadThis

Stories of immigration are vital right now — I recommend reading "Infinite Country" by @patricia-engel.bsky.social. This beautiful novel navigates through the devastating effects of a family torn apart by immigration, and the tough decisions that result. 💙📚 #fiction #ownvoices #immigration #booktok

This is such a great success story — even against tough odds as Amazon dominated book sales. Ultimately it is a story rooted in a genuine love for books. Love wins, every time. 💙📚

King of the castle 🕸️ This spider was so small and delicate, I didn't even notice him until after I'd taken the photo. I love these happy little accidents. #mycology #fungifriends #nature #photography #arachnids #kitsap #washington #pacificnorthwest

Prickly and a little bit fiery — much like the current mood round here. Barrel cactus: Tucson, Arizona #nature #photography #cactus #naturephotography #flora #plants #FebruArty

January 2025 was the month where we lived two entire lifetimes in 31 days, but that at least made for some good reading. With my driving need for distraction, I made it through 27 books and 8,890 pages — here are my favorites from the bunch. 💙📚 ⏰📚 #recommendedreading #tbr #reading #monthlywrapup

"Why is that so? Who benefits?" Just finishing up All the Water in the World by @eirencaffall.bsky.social and this quote will stick with me as something we ALL should be asking on repeat right now. #criticalthinking #booksky #booktok #dystopia #climatefiction

Three things that stuck with me from television trauma growing up in the 80s: 1. Never throw away plastic rings uncut 2. Don't play hide-and-seek in abandoned refrigerators 3. Don't show live television broadcasts to kids in elementary school 🚀 What would you add? #iykyk #deepthoughts #lifeadvice

Hey @blueskystarterpack.com please add: go.bsky.app/LTgX3Ce Thank you!

The Three Lives of Cate Kay has been one of my top reads of January! 💙📚 #currentlyreading #bookreview #audiobook

Holy smokes, this is just masterful editing and a beautiful tribute to SNL and the music industry on the whole.

I am in love with how this community elevates indie + oppressed voices — stretching my reading is my favorite civic responsibility. I also have friends joining bsky + feeling lost w/o some familiar mainstream faces as a starting place. This starter pack helps bridge the gap w bestselling authors. 💙📚

I've been thinking about where my responsibility to speak up and speak against fits with reading escapism. Escapism can help mental health, but we need to resist the urge to retreat solely into "easy" reads that require little critical thought. Thanks @mynameismarines.bsky.social for this reminder!

Need something to read aloud to the kids? This middle-grade novel was recommended to me by my 11 year old and I loved it! Do you buddy read with your kids? Read "Tesla's Attic" if you like: humor, adventure, sarcastic characters, conspiracy, and low-key scifi. 🪐📚💙

Unpopular opinion on the #bookchallenge with 20 books that stuck with you: I don't want "no explanations and no reviews, just covers." Tell me where the book ripped you to shreds or where it put you back together. Spill the tea on the life-changing experiences. Don't leave me to judge by a cover! 💙📚

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
