@blacktopkid.bsky.social wow wow WOW! Another home run! I have loved each of SA Cosby’s books I’ve read so far. This man doesn’t miss! Can’t wait to see his books on the big screen one day because these are perfect for film/tv adaptations!! #blackbooksky #booksky #readmore #52books52weeks #libby 📚👩🏾‍🏫

My March reads wrap up on @thestorygraph.com! Kitty Karr, Hungerstone and I Who Have Never Known Men were my top 3. I also really enjoyed reading a few graphic novels last month! #52bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readinggoal #52books52weeks

Another fun #bookish #nightout with @hailbits.bsky.social #BlindDatewithABook meet up at Electric Coffee Co.

💗 day out with @hailbits.bsky.social

Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? By Crystal Smith Paul 5⭐️ this was deeper & richer than I anticipated! Race, class, gender, & familial ties are skillfully explored. This story felt so real especially since I’ve known so many who pass in my life. This should be a show! #52bookclub #booksky #readinggoal

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman 5⭐️ I read this for International Women’s Day and so glad I did. This book explores incarceration & dehumanization w 40 women trapped in a bunker. Harpman fled Nazi Germany so this book is shaped by her own experiences #booksky #booktok #fivestarread

As we honor Women’s History Month, let’s remember the strength and resilience of enslaved women who fought for freedom and shaped history. Their resilience continues to inspire the fight for justice today. 165 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

I’m obsessed with these sweet children’s books by K. O’Neill. Sometimes it’s nice to kick back with something simple yet poignant. Aquicorn Cove is about the importance of being stewards for the environment and learning to live in harmony with nature 🪼 there is even a board game! #readmore #booksky

One more quick #read for the night! Tea Dragon Society is a part children’s book series and it’s just stinkin precious!! There is #queer and #disabled representation as well as tea, dragons, and black smithing! Would definitely recommend for reading with kids! #booksky #readmore #readingchallenge

This is so cute! Super short #queer graphic novel with #nonbinary representation. I needed something light & fluffy this evening and this hit the spot. There is a recipe in the back of this book, too! Borrowed on #libby! #Cozyfantasy #queerfantasy #readmorediversely #graphicnovel #queerbooks

I’ve never done a reading challenge before and I have been LOVING the 52 Book Club Challenge. I highly suggest checking it out. Outside of the 52 prompts for the main year, there are also mini challenges released through the year. This is really helping me get through my TBR in a fun way! #booksky

One of the worst things is when you’re so pumped for a book and end up bored through the whole thing 🥲 I’m going to try his other books to see if I can connect with a different one but man, being bored with a book is worse than hating it. #52bookclub #52books52weeks #booksky #readingchallenge

Currently listening to Hungerstone by Kat Dunn. Gimme some more #sapphic book recs bonus pts for #vampires #witches #ghosts or any other #magical entity #sapphicbooks #carmilla #lesbianbooks #sapphichorror #sapphicthriller

March Mini Challenge dropped today! Here are my picks! White Horse by Erika Wurth, These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling and The Spirit Bares its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White. #sapphicbooks #transbooks #indigenousbooks #readmorediversely #52bookclub #minichallenge #booksky

These Witches Won’t Burn by Isabel Sterling 3.75⭐️ YA #sapphic witches with #transmasc rep! This was adorable! Great for a light read. Young love, break ups, new relationship, secrets & a witch hunter on the loose! #52bookclub #52books52weeks #readingchallenge #booksky #yafantasy #urbanfiction

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Hell yeah! My Darling Dreadful Thing was one of last books I read last year and was definitely one of the best reads for me in 2024!!! I can’t wait! #sapphicbooks #queerbooks #lgbtqia+ #folkhorror #horror

Monthly wrap up on @thestorygraph.com 12 great books! No low ratings. Would highly recommend Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Weight of Blood, One Italian Summer and When No One is Watching. I’m Blossom91 on StoryGraph #booksky #52bookclub #52books52weeks #readingchallenge #wrapup #readmorediversebooks

4⭐️ When No One is Watching. Kept hearing rave reviews and I ended up loving it! This thriller revolves around gentrification in a Brooklyn neighborhood and is dual pov between a black lifelong resident & a white house flipper who just moved in. #booksky #52books52weeks #52bookclub #readingchallenge

5🌟 One Italian Summer was so heartfelt and beautiful. Katie has just lost her mother weeks before their Italian vaca but decides to still go. Somehow, she sees the younger version of her mother and has a second chance to be with her. I laughed, I cried, I loved this! #52bookclub #booksky #booktok

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m h this absolutely lived up to all of the hype! The Weight of Blood is a retelling of Stephen King’s Carrie set in 2014. I can’t think of a single thing I didn’t like while reading this. I cried a few times lol but there is also a very tender love story mixed in. #52bookclub #booksky

3.25⭐️ had to get this one right away after finishing The Last Mrs. Parrish. I liked the first book more but did enjoy the new characters in this one! These duology is soap opera type shenanigans lol fun & dramatic read for when you want something lighter #52bookclub #52books52weeks #booktok #booksky

The Invisible Hour was so layered w/ themes powerful themes. I liked for its parts but as a whole, I wasn’t in love with it. I enjoyed the time travel aspect and the star crossed lovers plot. Definitely would recommend even if it wasn’t my favorite! #booksky #booktok #52bookclub #readingchallenge

The Last Mrs. Parrish 4.25⭐️ I almost DNFd this lol I love a shady interloper but this wasn’t hittin at first. I paused & looked at some glowing reviews and dove back in and ended up really loving this! The second half had me locked in!! #booksky #booktok #52bookclub #52books52weeks

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware 3⭐️ this was an easy & fast read! Definitely a good book for on the go since it’s not mentally heavy at all. I was expecting more since it’s getting a film adaptation but it was entertaining enough to finish in 24hrs. #52bookclub #booksky #booktok #booktokrefugee

🫣 don’t hate me lol this was just okay imo! I love magical realism but I just couldn’t fully get into this one! It’s genuinely a great book but idk I just wasn’t fully invested in the story but I finished it! A lot of ppl really love it tho!! #booksky #booktok #52bookclub #52books52weeks

Just came home from the #library where a local author, Abigail Waters, had a discussion for her novel “Seemingly Insignificant”. This painting is one of her original pieces that she used as her books cover art!! #booktok #supportlibraries #bookclub #supportthearts @hailbits.bsky.social

Listened to Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen today as one of my three picks for the Lunar New Year mini challenge in the 52 Book Club. This was funny and clever and I enjoyed the way it broke the 4th wall! I think Yellowface will be next for my mini challenge #52books52weeks #52bookclub #booksky #booktok

I love #audiobooks because they allow me to enjoy all sorts of stories while I’m #sewing and #quilting. There’s what I’ve made the past few days while I’ve been listening to #books! #booksky #crafting #booktok

How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow 3.75⭐️ super cute YA sapphic romcom set at Christmas time! And there’s a corgi in it 🐶 a nice low stakes book in between heavier ones #52books52weeks #readinggoal #booktok #booksky #booktokrefugee #lgbtbooks #sapphicromance #sapphic

Put this one in your ear holes, ala @willowtreegoblin.bsky.social mountainbabies.bandcamp.com/track/northe...

My Jan Wrap-Up on @thestorygraph.com let’s be friends over there! Ended the month strong with 3 amazing reads: Mad Honey, Blue Sisters and Witchcraft doe Wayward Girls #52books52weeks #booktok #booksky #booktokrefugee @jodipicoult.bsky.social @cocomellors.bsky.social @gradyhendrix.bsky.social

@jodipicoult.bsky.social has broke my heart again 😭 my wife & I just finished #MadHoney. we’re both miserable puddles of tears💔my wife is a trans woman so this was a very emotional read for us. We have to check out Jennifer Boylan books! #52books52weeks #booktok #booksky #booktokrefugee #lgbtbooks

@cocomellors.bsky.social 😭😭 wow, I’m just going to cry for a bit and then call my sisters! I’m loving literary fiction more and more the older i get. This was so full of heart. Heartache. Heartbreak. Love. Loss. Longing. Definitely my favorite book this month. #52bookclub #52books52weeks

Finished Witchcraft for Wayward Girls this morning! @gradyhendrix.bsky.social is an automatic buy author for me and he was one of my most read authors last year. Absolutely loved this story of body autonomy, a girls right to choose, righteous anger, and found family #52books52weeks #booksky #booktok

I love the smell of new #books! These just arrived in the mail! #booksky #booktok #booktokrefugee #readmore

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

4.5⭐️ oh this was so fun!! Spicy adventure romcom set in Mexico following two rivals on an archaeological expedition. It’s basically Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones! #52books52weeks @josegurabooks.bsky.social looking forward to the next #book in the series! #booktok #booksky #booktokrefugee 💗📚

@hailbits.bsky.social @methehoneybee.bsky.social Had a fun afternoon at the #library for a #mocktail making class. I love how our library system provides so many fun events!

4⭐️ The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst! Such a charming & sweet #book! If you like Legends & Lattes, you’ll like this one, too. Lots magic & mythical creatures w/ a little dash of romance. #52books52weeks #booktok #booksky #readingchallenge #booktokrefugee #foundfamily #hea #52bookclub

One of the sweetest joys in life is having my wife #read to me 💗 we are reading #MadHoney by @jodipicoult.bsky.social for the #queer #bookclub we are a part of in 🇨🇦. Even our dog wants to listen 🐕. Bee reads the Lily chpts & I read the Olivia ones 😍 we’re loving the LGBTQIA+ rep! #booksky #booktok

What do you prefer? Physical or #audiobook? Or a mix of both? Sometimes I like to go back & forth with #reading and listening. I’m loving The Spellshop so far! Got it on sale, too! My next #book will be Witchcraft for Wayward Girls! #booksky #booktok #booktokrefugee #52books52weeks #readinggoal

#octaviabutler #parableofthesower #booksky

✨ When I was teen, I would devour #manga. It’s been so long since I’ve read one and this novella is making me want to pick up one for old times sake or watch #sailormoon. Isn’t this cover just gorgeous 😍 #readmore #booksky #booktok #magicalgirl #readdiversely #booktokrefugee #AMagicalGirlRetires ✨

#Bookoutlet order just arrived! Have yall ever used it?! I started buying from them last summer and love it! They run $5 sales sometimes but the prices are always pretty low since it’s overstock from other stores. So glad i snagged The Spellshop! #booktokrefugee #bookish #booktok #booksky

#52books52weeks i have been finding so many gems I would never read w/o the prompts! Starfish is a beautiful story told in verse about #fatphobia and #acceptance. This is aimed to young girls but it is a good reminder for anyone to be #kind to yourself and to #love your body #booksky #booktok

Just so we’re clear: 1. Audiobooks count 2. Reading is political 3. The orange man is a piece of 💩 Thanks for stopping by 💃

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?
