Mid-month reading progress check for Native American Heritage Month 📚 Just finished The Devil Is a Southpaw, and it was challenging, impressive, and unbelievably rewarding — a fascinating portrait of obsession. #booksky #nativeamerican #nativeamericanheritagemonth

Only eleven vertical spines in my collection 📚 I love their uniqueness, how they choose to go up and down instead of sideways ✨ I'm curious, how many vertical spines do you have on your shelves? #booksky

Can you guess which book I selected for my November BoTM? 📦📖 Here’s a hint: “A luminous novel of love, loss, science, and art, that asks if the past can ever be truly revisited, and at what cost?” I’m looking forward to reading this one! #botm #bookmail #litfic #literaryfiction #booksky

It’s that time again! Which books are you voting for? 📚 👀 My picks: Fiction- Wild Dark Shore Hist. Fic.- Buckeye Mystery- Heartwood Sci-fi- Automatic Noodle Horror- Hungerstone Audiobook- My Friends Memoir- Things In Nature Merely Grow #booksky

Remembering Kurt Vonnegut on his bday (Nov 11) He said: “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion… I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” Which is your favorite Vonnegut novel, or which do you plan to read next? #booksky #onthisday

📚 Just finished Shadow Ticket, and wow, what a trip! ➡️ Up next: Tom’s Crossing Shadow ticket is classic Pynchon chaos, and he’s clearly just having fun. It's a jazzy, Depression-era detective fever dream that’s as playfully strange as it is eerily relevant. #booksky #litfic #pynchon

Remembering Albert Camus on his bday (Nov 7th) Camus didn’t write to escape the world; he wrote to face it. To insist that even in the absurd, there is room for rebellious hope. “In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” —Return to Tipasa #booksky

🎂 Remembering Ursula K. Le Guin on her birthday! (Oct 21) "We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel… is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become." —Ursula K. Le Guin #booksky #onthisday

🎉✨ Remembering Oscar Wilde on his birthday! (Oct. 16) “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” —Oscar Wilde Over a century later, his wit, wisdom, and fearless individuality still inspire us to live boldly, think deeply, and embrace the beauty in our quirks. #booksky

Did you know about the IRL Halloween tree at Disneyland? On the 35th anniversary of Bradbury’s novel, an oak in Frontierland was given a makeover of orange lights and hand-painted jack-o’-lanterns. Bradbury said “I’m glad I’m going to be a permanent part of the spirit of Halloween at Disneyland.”

“A Confederacy of Dunces” is pure chaos—flip to any page and you’ll meet outrageous characters, biting satire, or a laugh-out-loud rant. But fair warning: it’s as offensive as it is entertaining, so check TWs before diving in! #booksky #literaturesky #literature #litfic

“I am not exactly a writer who has died, but a dead man who has taken to writing.” ⚰️ Spending Sunday with Machado de Assis, a 19th c. master of playful darkness and a rule-breaker who was ahead of his time. #booksky #literaturesky #literature #classics #sundayreads #weekendreads
