any #BookBloggers noticing their views are way down this month? this is my lowest viewcount month of the year (typically that's Jul/Aug) and i'm at about 60% of my Dec 2024 views 🤔

really enjoyed reading bloggers' responses to the thoughtful prompts from this meme this past year! (...do we still call this sort of thing a 'meme'? anyway) I'm going to make an effort in 2026 to participate myself 🫡

thinking about trialling cross-posting from #WordPress to #Substack in the new year to see whether that affects my readership... will try out this plug-in + extension from @automattic.com

It’s me and @almakatsu.bsky.social in @peoplemag.bsky.social taking about Horror: people.com/why-is-horro...

can anyone remind me why I loved THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING? ...maybe I should do a post about the classics I sought out during undergrad (as a children's lit major who thought maybe I was missing out on something). 2025 me can't recall why I fell in love with some of these books.

lots of intriguing titles here to add to your TBR!

🗳️📚✨New post! Which #fantasy book should I read next? Leave a comment or reply to vote: THE TETHERED MAGE by @melissacaruso.bsky.social GODS OF JADE AND SHADOW by @silviamg.bsky.social THE NINTH RAIN by @sennydreadful.bsky.social FOR THE WOLF by Hannah Whitten fallingletters.ca/2025/09/i-ca...

I haven't been posting a lot of reviews lately but if you're curious my thoughts on HEMLOCK & SILVER, Krysta has pretty much summed them up here!

Can't believe I only have three books checked out and three books on hold... I'm not calling it a reading slump yet but I'm just not sure what I feel like reading lately!!

Listen its Latine Heritage month. Do yourself a favor and get this suburban horror novel where a butch Dominican has to struggle against an evil H.O.A while fighting a particularly haunted tree in her own backyard. you won't regret it! #booksky #horrorsky

🧜🏻‍♀️💀💧New post! Finally sharing thoughts on the book I read for #WyrdAndWonder back in May: ALL THE MURMURING BONES by A.G. Slatter #fantasy fallingletters.ca/2025/09/all-...
