How to spend a Friday evening @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social edition: Receive April books. Start April book you “took a chance on.” Finish said book a mere 2.5 hrs later after devouring it. Somehow feel better about… all that stuff happening out there. 5 stars. Would recommend. 🖋️📚💙 #booksky

Let’s talk about how excited I am for this one, esp after getting my paperback copy of The Tainted Cup ruined at the beach. What better excuse do I have to buy a new copy PLUS the SEQUEL? The Tainted Cup is THE BEST BOOK I’ve read so far this year (it’s young, I know)! 💙📚 ⚡️📚 🪐📚

I’m surprised my mother hasn’t handed out bottles of holy water to my entire family for this very purpose.

For anyone who followed this post… #bookmailisthebestmail @bertsbooks.bsky.social delivered BIG! Who beautifully ties books together with a bookmark and a lovely note anymore? I ask you dear reader, who? Excited to read this on my 🏖️ vacay next week! ⚡️📚💙 Video 👇. @ellygriffiths.bsky.social

I found these three books in an antique store. “Dr. Whitney’s Secretary” by Dorothy Pierce Walker caught my eye. I read it as a precocious 11 year old after going through the books on my grandmother’s shelves. (Probably not a book for an 11 y.o.) Has anyone on #booksky read any of these? 💙📚

This woman is brilliant. I love her writing and how she writes from Point A ➡️ B ➡️ C and then connects all the dots. Saddest of all: “A year ago today, on February 16, 2024, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died at the hands of Russian authorities in the prison where he was being held…”

My husband gave his mystery loving wife these mystery-bookish gifts for Valentine’s❤️Day. A Miss Marple puzzle (with clues from the books), a beautiful copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, a new reading journal, and a personal library kit - handy for lending books out to friends and family. ⚡️📚💙

UK book friends and stores… tell me how I can order a copy of this beautiful book without ordering from Amazon UK. I’d rather order from one of your fine establishments. I don’t mind paying shipping and all that. I just hate doing the research. TYIA ⚡️📚💙

I did it. WaPo too. I’ve had an #NewYorkTimes subscription since I graduated college in 1998. I thought it was the sign of an intelligent person. 😂😂😂 #NYTimes #SaveOurMedia #SaveOurDemocracy #Sigh #Help

So, what’s your idea of a fun Saturday night? Migraine treatment? Me too! I can’t read a thing. Or eat. Or watch. It’s great. Where are my fellow migraineurs? No recommendations. No Excedrin Migraine. #MigraineChat #migraine

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Book mail! Look how lovely this was shipped to me from Diesel Bookstore in Santa Monica. And in the middle of a major disaster too? I didn’t expect to get these any time soon. Go support your local bookstores. (Why I didn’t buy from a Utah bookstore? Read in comments.) 💙📚 #booksky #bookmail

CR: We Have Lived On the Horizon by Erika Swyler. 100 pages in and I am loving this dystopian sci-fi novel. Hoping Ms. Swyler brings it home because this feels good as Station Eleven so far! Is dreary January the month for dystopian books? #books #booksky 💙📚 #aardvark

Oh my goodness! So many good books to look forward to here! #2025reading #BookSky 💙📚

Jimmy Carter was a good and great man

Mind blowing. And yet, not. Is this the future of media coverage in Utah? There’s a larger discussion to be had about journalism in general and the shrinking of resources thanks to media consolidation. But for now, who is the Utah State Legislature afraid of? #utah #utahpolitics #mediainutah #media
