🚫🧊 #abolishice

Boy, having animals sure is fun sometimes.

Maybe another inclement weather day or two will get me back on track with reading and journaling. It's been a rough couple weeks, both in my private life and in the world at large.

@feltcrowd0955.bsky.social I might need whatever that adorable pink and green doggo is.

@readysteadystop.bsky.social So happy to see you on bsky and off the cursed Zuck website!!

I've been wrestling with whether there's any purpose in me posting bookish content in the world right now. There's so much going wrong in the world, and I can't contribute much because I'm just a disabled teacher who can't risk losing her job.....

Well, I was going to try and really push social media during this inclement weather work break I'm getting. However, with the disgusting state this country is in and news coming out of MN today, I need a mental break. I wish I could power through and participate in a meaningful way, but I am one...

deadlock got a cool update but the blasphemous horrors must be destroyed twitch.tv/feltcrowd0955

I am so excited it's unreal. I am reading the ARC prologue of Erin Hunter's new book Renegades: The Magic Awakens. The Warriors cat books have been with me and shaped my reading interests my whole life, and now I get to read the authors' (Erin Hunter is multiple people) next series early!

boy howdy im live twitch.tv/feltcrowd0955

Next week I will be reading my first ever ARC, and I am so excited for it!! Has anyone read Meg Shaffer before? The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer: 9780593983584 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books share.google/AivrLyyuG8b5...

Chugging along with the last Serafina book, Serafina and the Seven Stars. It is by far the best written one yet, but it has a couple weird turns of phrase that feel a little racially motivated that I am not a fan of. Will read it in full before giving it my full thoughts.

It's been hard to keep this under wraps. deadline.com/2026/01/lore...

I learned this from Every Day I Read. ✨

These stupid little toys are bringing me so much joy. We need to go back to the days of book series merch. Right now, really only the transphobic wizard series and popular booktok series have merch. Give me silly cats and cute dragons and sword replicas.

Look at my man go. 😍

im so good at posting these on time i totally havent been live for an hour :) twitch.tv/feltcrowd0955

I love being terrible at chess. I love having no idea how to do a proper checkmate. I love sacrificing all of my pawns fewer than ten moves in. People devote their entire lives to it and I’m just like “wheeeeee horsies”

@tkingfisher.com Question for you! Do you ever seek out ARC readers for your books, and if so, what websites or platforms do you/your publisher use to find them? I have an interest in becoming an ARC reader in general, and thought asking one of my favorite authors might be a good place to start!

I'm planning on doing a mid-mouth round up of my reading journal and the books I've read so far. I am somehow at 5 books read already in 2026!! The most enjoyable part of my reading goals this year, however, has definitely been challenging myself to annotate and write about what I read.

Pssst: Because of your support for indies & love for audiobooks, we were able to pay our bookshop partners 80% more in 2025 than the prior year❗ We also became a B Corp, fought book bans, raised $55k for libraries, launched a web player (y'all LOVE listening at work), & more—all because of you.

My silksong playthrough (from like october or something) is finally going up on youtube! I'm trying to do better with titles and thumbnails as well as space out uploads so ya know, check this playlist to see what parts are out www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Reminder for myself: RENEW YOUR LIBRARY CARD

Thank you to The Tennessee Holler for covering what’s happening when much of the media isn’t. They shared video showing a door being kicked in by ICE agents and agents refusing to produce a warrant when asked. Guns drawn and kids in the house.

Brown girl dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson is a really emotional read for me this year. I still don't know how to grieve a grandparent I felt I lost years ago. Woodson's writing about her grandparents always makes me think of mine. A poem collection & memoir for my anti-brain rot reading challenge.

What a delightful read. "I hope to fill myself with books." Every Day I Read by Hwang Bo-Reum, translated by Shanna Tan.

Come hang out with us!

My journal entry for Cixin Liu's The Three-Body Problem. I had a blast with this book, between taking guesses on what was happening and learning new scientific concepts. It was a very challenging read without ever being tedious. I can't wait to read the rest of the series! It also cleared some big

The Three-Body Problem was a wild read. It tested my understanding of physics and math for sure. 😂 The writing (translation) was beautiful and it never felt tedious even with the dense subject material.

First book of the year done (I started it during winter testing)! Silverwing was delightfully weird. It's been so long since I've written journal responses to a book, especially a children's book. I expected it to feel challenging or awkward, but I guess it's one of those skills you never forget.

I guess at some point I am going to have to research Euclid, Euclidian geometry, Euclidian-based physics, and why things that are non-Euclidian are so loved by all these smart authors. Cixin Liu and Rebecca F. Kuang are killing me with this.

Off to a fantastic start with my anti-brain rot reading challenge for 2026. Go find @thisstoryaintover.bsky.social on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc for details. Also go follow my TikTok cause I'll be updating there too!

It's really hard to keep up with new mobility goals and literary goals when I start the new year with the plague. Sometimes I have to remind myself that "good enough" is in fact, good enough.

the world sucks lets hang out and be mad twitch.tv/feltcrowd0955

One of the ideas I'm tinkering with for 2026 is posting about my reading journal and thoughts across social media platforms consistently. I made a TikTok sharing the start of my first ever reading journal today! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yt7PXT/

Learning how to annotate while listening to an audiobook. The Three Body Problem by Cixin Lui is my first read of the year!

come hang out with us as we discuss how much wizards of the coast/hasbro has sabotaged their own success with magic the gathering by their cracked ass universes beyond schedule no one asked for, removing buy-a-box promos, blaming streamers for their sucky sales, etc.

A reminder that we don't have AI-powered features. We have bookseller and user-powered features. Because y'all are the real readers...and we actually care about your feedback and your privacy ❤️

Congratulations to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for winning GOTY :) <3

Holiday tip number 1: Always make sure you know where the closest indie bookstore is. You never know when you'll need to flee for some "me" time.
