“I’ve gained over 120k followers on Bookstagram in less than 6 months and here’s how I did it” *has Harry Potter books DIRECTLY next to their head in the video* *Taylor Jenkins Reid in March Wrap Up* So you did it by not having morals or something? #booksky

I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like “the MC was annoying and immature at times” like…. the MC is 13? News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes. #booksky

Just saw someone pitch their book as “if ACOTAR mated with Handmaid’s Tale, but women are in charge and there were dragons.” And honestly I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that description. #booksky

Ngl I kind of regret letting my YouTube content fizzle out. I just find it takes much longer to edit and upload - I had such a hard time fitting it into my schedule :/

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

I love Lush so much. My local lush has a “No ICE Zone” sticker on their door. Then of course they have the watermelon soap that benefits Gaza, and their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bath bombs.

What do you mean the @trreadathon.bsky.social starts in 2 days?!?! Where did March go?? #booksky

Someone please validate me that this is NOT IT and this IS STILL AWFUL and if you’re an author please just… practice outlining????????? #booksky
