To take a metaphorical page out of @noethematt.bsky.social’s book….. what are y’all reading this weekend?

Book 44/150: WITCHES ABROAD. This was my first Terry Pratchett book and I’m happy to report it was literally perfect. 5⭐️

Book 43/150: SMALL GAME. I think if I had not read so many Nora Roberts books where there’s some sick twisted dude watching your every move I would have enjoyed this more. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop instead of appreciating the one that was already on the (forest) floor. 3.5⭐️

Sunday afternoon read - ICARUS by K. Ancrum. Can def see why this thrilling queer art heist YA novel won the HS Sequoyah book award! Ancrum pulls you in from page one and doesn’t let go. 4⭐️

My crafting group this month was button-themed. I made these cutie little earrings and can’t wait to wear em out!

I went on #pittsky looking for Discourse about The Pitt and was instead inundated with adorable land seals in pajamas 10/10 incredible mixup

This is a verified GoFundMe for librarian Luanne James from the Rutherford County Library Alliance. gofund.me/f7704eb98 Read what happened to this hero: www.newschannel5.com/news/rutherf...

I can officially tell you exactly how much you have to weigh for a doctor to suggest your health problems are due to size! It’s happened to me for the first time! Apparently! Intermittent loss of sight! Is due to being fat!

"It's hard to boycott a writer when you grew up reading them and their work meant so much to you." No it really isn't, or I'd still be reading Neil Gaiman.

what happened to if you have time to lean you have time to clean. or does that only apply to me making $7.25/hr to sell shitty frozen yogurt and not the highly paid murder squad

>belly hurts from menstrual cramping >eat a metric fuck ton of spaghetti plus one (1) mcd Diet Coke >belly hurts from too full

Why, how do you decide what color frame to buy? (I went with orange)

You CAN do an illustrated cover that conveys “this is a book that fucks.”

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I also got to go visit one of my favorite art museums, the philbrook

Got to spend this weekend at the state library conference. Met some authors (and accidentally twinned with one), talked about some books I liked, ate some snacks. It was pretty sick tbh

I firmly believe there is no “right” way to read- be it audio, eyeball, ebook, whatever. But one thing eyeball reading does have that the others never will is spending an hour in a well-organized bookstore, letting your next read find you

I saw the most incredible art exhibit at the Philbrook today by Joel Daniel Phillips with poems by Quraysh Ali Lansana. They’re huge pencil drawings of “killed negatives” and this one stopped me in my tracks. If this isn’t a @tkingfisher.com cover idk what is. Also a kingfisherey sculpture

I will also add: there are a startling amount of PIOs (public information officers) who used to be in news (at least when I worked news). They know exactly what info they’re withholding from journalists in their releases and statements.

Surprise tornado warning last nite as soon as I got home from work. The cat was not pleased but the sky sure was pretty. #okwx #skysky

I will never ever ever stop being grateful my dog isn’t afraid of storms. It’s ‘nader season, yall

if you have to qualify your stance on supporting equality with a "but" or an "except", then you don't support equality

Like ok I know Noah Wyle is an actor but watching baby Dr Robby (Dr Carter) touch his FACE, BAREHANDED, after an entire tray of urine samples got dumped on him with no hand sani or wash had me actually shocked lmao

Ok update it was really good. According to goodreads I read it 9 years ago and was very meh about it (obviously, I didn’t even remember it!) but I loved it this time around

February reads! Staying tuned for some higher ratings in March, I hope

You’re saying my password is incorrect? In 2026?? What happened to ‘believe women’???

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

And in case you were wondering:

I love library book sale day

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Whomst??

The thing about being a project manager for a volunteer committee is that people literally don’t give a shit if you fire them. Like oh no, don’t take away the extra uncompensated workload I was doing…

All of this Wuthering Heights Discourse TM has me wanting to finally watch the Dakota Johnson Persuasion

My dad is in the stage of his life where he doesn’t want any more “stuff.” His new favorite gift is when I read and annotate a book to send him so it’s “like we’re reading it together.” He’s so cute I love him

I think I’m gonna call this one “Gunslinger.”

Do you think bondi ctrl+f’d trumps social media for the insults in her little burn book or do you think he dictated them to her before she went in

Ok well SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE was excellent but I’m sorry I’m not trynta have my heart entirely BROKEN during a romance novel!!!

“I am the Attorney General!!” Ok lady

Every time I see something talking shit on chat gpt I get excited but like over 50% of the time it’s just an ad for a different shitty genAI model. I truly don’t care which one you use, I hate them all and tbh look down on you for it

Something bad is about to happen to a character I love in this book so what if I just…. Stop reading it? And the kid will be fine and no one will be hurt? Headcanon?

I want to read my book but my headache wants me to put this heating pad on my face so now I’m just listening to the Olympics. I wish I liked audiobooks I would be unstoppable

Collage time = screen-free time

I love having a button maker tbh

Let’s go

The Only Purple House in Town is in sale in digital! One day only, $1.99! Nab this bargain ASAP. books2read.com/u/m2wrqd

Collage is my new favorite screen-free activity I’m obsessed

Welp. This seems like a straight-up portent.

Sustainable fashion to ME is turning a “Christmas sweater” into a “sweater” (and also finally feeling the sweet sweet vindication of having a “useless” seven pound bag of buttons)

Book 15: THE DEVIL COMES COURTING. I laughed, I cried, I blushed, I kicked my feet. It’s a perfect book, 5⭐️

Where the fuck are the 2A guys who are supposed to be using all those guns they so desperately needed to protect us from a tyrannical government?? Oh. They’re the guys the tyrannical government hired to do the tyranny. Got it, got it

Book 14: THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER. When I say I was gagged I mean actually and literally GAGGING. The fuck. The heck. 4.5 ⭐️ everybody read it
