@libbyapp.com coming through for me today with the fastest hold time ever! 💙📚🌶️

Thank you so much St Martin’s Press and Macmillan Audio for the amazing PR box of So Gay For You by Leisha Hailey & Kate Moennig! This memoir promises to be a love letter to ride-or-die friendship over the decades, and a testament to the liberating power of chosen family. I can’t wait to dig in!

Finally making some progress on my #littlefreelibrary! I loved Curious George books when I was young and in the process of painting this cover I learned about the incredible lives of the couple who wrote and illustrated the stories! 💙📚

This is terrible. The response of waiting for the books to be overdue and then billing the man who burned them seems woefully insufficient. This is also as good a reminder as any, support your libraries. They need support now more than ever. 💙📚

What a season! @literaryarts.bsky.social gave us an amazing year of lectures wrapping up tonight with @mashagessen.bsky.social I am eager to read their works which are relevant and necessary. Can’t wait for next year which looks like a phenomenal lineup! 2025-2026 Season preordered! 💙📚

I was able to attend @literaryarts.bsky.social incredible presentation by @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social last night. I also picked up copies of Wilson’s translations of both The Iliad and The Odyssey, although after listening to her read passages from them, I want to listen to the audiobooks more! 💙📚

Ahhh!!!!!!!! I will have absolutely no chill about this for the foreseeable future! 💙📚

Rebecca is a real person who promotes indie books and authors for free. She’s even an indie author! Read her books! Scams are gross. Authors, don’t give your money to anyone in exchange for promotion. Readers, don’t give your time and attention to anyone trying to extort false influence for cash.

I love audiobooks, specifically because of the humanity narration provides. I have negative interest in using this “service” as a consumer. As in, I am less likely to read in any format when I see this is an option for a title. 💙📚

Many thanks to @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social for the ALC of Everything is Tuberculosis by & read by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I just started this audiobook (out March 18th! 👀) and I am already obsessed with learning everything about this deeply interesting & relevant disease! #booksky 💙📚

I absolutely needed to read this. The past 7ish weeks I’ve been feeling so creatively drained and devoid of the things that bring me joy on a daily basis. In celebration of what I love and in the spirit of sharing, these two snuggled for the first time yesterday 💖

Super excited to finally be able to read A Love Song for Ricki Wilde! Thanks so much to Hachette for the gifted copy!

I really need to read his books! A rec from Garrett is a rec I take to heart! 💙📚

To quickly amplify this, an author on here posted their title and said it was available at libraries so I requested to be notified when it became available in Libby because my library did not have the title yet. It was available to me within a week! This is why libraries matter! 💙📚

New audiobook - The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. Kristin Atherton and Michael Fox narrating. A stunning opening, “Great Achilles. Brilliant Achilles, shining Achilles, godlike Achilles… How the epithets pile up. We never called him any of those things; we called him ‘the butcher’.” 💙📚

Completed reading of They Thought They Were Free by Milton Mayer. This work is an incredibly poignant and chilling examination of authoritarianism which feels urgently relevant to the present. Highly recommended for those interested in human behavior and the mechanisms of power. #booksky 💡📚💙

starting the year with one of my fav lines from Chandrashekhar Azad "what we are to face has been faced a thousand times and it has been defeated a thousand times before, we are merely those called to now carry on a tradition."

Reading Update! I am finally surfacing after the holidays and thought I’d share my current reads that I’m taking into 2025. 🎧 - Phantasma by Kaylie Smith 🌶️📚 📱 - Dissolution by Nicholas Binge 🪐📚 📖 - The Last Time I Wore a Dress by Dylan Scholinkski 🌈📚 #booksky 💙📚

“In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next.” #sundaysentence 💙📚 - They Thought They Were Free, Milton Mayer

Hey #booksky 💙📚 friends, If you too were annoyed and disappointed to see a bunch of spammy bot accounts mucking up our beloved feed today, try muting the other hashtags they are using. It doesn’t remove every single one from the feed, but it helps a whole lot while we wait for a solution.

The Will of the Many - Wow that ending!! I need The Strength of the Few right now. 🪐📚💙

Happy Smutmas everyone! 🎄💋 For the next 12 days I will be sharing selections for romance novellas that are free or $0.99 in this thread. Included are both Amazon KU and Kobo This year each day will include a prompt inspired by @sarahroseknows19.bsky.social StoryGraph challenge! #romancelandia 🌶️📚

Less than 10% left in The Will of the Many by James Islington but I need to go to bed! 😫 Why do I do this to myself? Do I go to bed or stay up and face the consequences tomorrow? 🪐📚💙

So much this! If you read this year, I’m so happy for you! It doesn’t matter how many books, what genres, high-brow or low-brow; reading is an accomplishment we should all be proud of! 💖

New audiobook 🎧 Someone from this lovely app recommended The Last Gifts of the Universe by Riley August and it arrived quickly from Libby! Starting today and it’s pretty short so I should finish this read quickly. 🪐📚💙

A really good thread about the potential of this platform. I agree with a lot of what David is saying - BlueSky being all about words makes it ideal for readers and writers. Individuals are connecting about books in meaningful ways that are not matched by insta and TikTok. May it continue & grow 💙📚
