Seriously, if you set off fireworks, you’re a bad fucking person. Just say you hate pets and people with PTSD

Female Life on Planet Earth is one of my favorites of the year so far. It’s a fresh and exciting take on the questions of what is womanhood, what is motherhood, and to what extent can these two identities comfortably exist in one person. 📚💙 Out in Sept from @harpercollins.bsky.social

ICYMI yesterday here are a smattering of July books to look forward to, once we get through a hellish weekend of pointless explosions and patriotism that reeks of desperation 📚💙 www.whoevenreads.com/books-we-lik...

It seems like July is kind of a slow month for books so I feel extra sure we picked the cream of the crop for you this time. Very excited to read the Kendra Allen and Shannon Sanders (@shanders.bsky.social) books myself! 📚💙 www.whoevenreads.com/books-we-lik...

🎆🎆Better late than never!!🎆🎆 It’s time for July Books We Like the Looks Of! Books we’re excited about that are publishing this month, including new work from @shanders.bsky.social, @colsonwhitehead.com, Sigrid Nunez and more! 📚💙 www.whoevenreads.com/books-we-lik...

Sorry to be vulnerable on here but it’s a really difficult time to have just started a website, and to be caring and writing about books. It seems both frivolous and crucial at the same time, and it feels like most everyone is just too zapped to care about the arts right now (me too sometimes)📚💙

TRIAGE by claudia rankine comes out 8/4/2026 from @graywolfpress.bsky.social #friendship #composite #grief #action #BookSky get your @libraryreads.bsky.social votes in by 7/1!

Wow. I’m very disappointed in most of you. But you can still earn my respect back by checking out this post and subscribing to Who Even Reads 📚💙

If you’re not looking at our Pride post celebrating QTBIPOC books I’m assuming you’re homophobic. And racist. Act accordingly! 📚💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.whoevenreads.com/paperbacks-f...

No, it's not going to be too late in a serious, imminent way, but if you haven't read and don't plan to read any of these books, that's very sad for you 😔 All the Pride cake and Culver's shrimp and IKEA meatballs in the world won't fill that empty space in your soul, so hurry, SAVE YOURSELF #booksky

If you haven’t read this, you really should. Castillo’s Moderation is also a great novel but this one is a contemporary classic for lit theory. They will be teaching it in classrooms MARK MY WORDS 📚💙

Have your Pride cake 🏳️‍🌈 (and all the shrimp 🍤 you want) and read books by QTBIPOC too... BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. Just kidding, what you should really be afraid of is not doing it all year round #booksky We'll also be posting about individual books below. Enjoy! www.whoevenreads.com/paperbacks-f...

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender with one image.

If that detransitioner lawyer got her ass handed to her there’s no defending that (depending on the circumstances) but it’s funny that every single one of these people blames everyone but themselves for their transition not working out

Did you catch our Pride post? We look at some of the VERY BEST (imo) books by QTBIPOC authors of the 2020s so far. Your future favorite book might be on this list! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️📚💙

Hey, it's a list of absolute bangers by queer and trans Black and Indigenous authors and other authors of color #booksky 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🩷🩵 Included: A Minor Chorus by Billy-Ray Belcourt, Ordinary Notes by Christina Sharpe & How to Read Now by Elaine Castillo, lots more Happy Pride!

She loves the laundry. For those of you keeping track

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈PRIDE POST🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ I loved working on this. Any excuse to recommend Natalie Diaz, @hystericalblkns.bsky.social, @sabs.bsky.social, and Carmen Maria Machado. This post contains some of my favorite books of all time! 📚💙 www.whoevenreads.com www.whoevenreads.com/paperbacks-f...

I would rather lobotomize myself with a wooden kitchen spoon

Looking forward to reading this one and also All This Want (and I Can’t Get None) by T Clark which also publishes today! 🎉📚💙 Hurry up and look at the June picks before it’s July!!

Thinking something was written by AI because it has em-dashes is like thinking something was written by Virginia Woolf because it has semicolons #booksky

This book is so great! One of the most exciting conceits in speculative fiction I’ve seen in a long time. Destined to be a classic of the genre. Read my review of Sublimation by @isabel.kim! 📚💙 www.whoevenreads.com/sublimation-...

My pencil case needs its own pencil case! 🤓 ok nerd

Chuffed this is in the @literaryhub.bsky.social weekly roundup which I read every week. Thanks all for reading and your kind words.

There are books coming out this year that are like, America! How Did We Get Here in which a man named something like Steve Stephens talks about the "regrettable" "parts" of American history but concludes that well, you know, uh America Anyhow, read this instead www.whoevenreads.com/review-camon...

HIRE ME AS SHOWRUNNER UNIVERSAL, I’VE ALREADY PICKED MY CAST. But seriously, everyone should read this mind-exploding work of speculative fiction and watch the show when it comes out, whether they hire me or not @isabel.kim 📚💙 www.whoevenreads.com/sublimation-...

Here it is! Lisa's review of @isabel.kim's fantastic novel Sublimation, plus juicy speculation on how Universal's TV adaptation 📺 might pan out #booksky www.whoevenreads.com/sublimation-...
