I know I do some crazy stuff because how am I already finished with my first book of the year… started at 5 this morning and I’m done 🫢😩😬 #booksky

Yes… I’ve been setting my reading goal to only 12 books for the last 4 years because a goal ain’t about to stress me out 🙃

Life grabbed me by the collar and made me pay a dollar… these past 3 weeks have been… something 🚬

📚📚BUY MY BOOKS📚📚 I’ve got a ton of books for sale in my @pangobooks.bsky.social shop. All books are 25% off and you get free shipping on orders of $50 or more! pangobooks.com/bookstore/to...

So excited Rilzy can write no wrong 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎊💃🏽

I think I’ve found my favorite Christmas romance/spice recommendation of the season… I’m so sad I’m almost finished 😩😩😩

After watching Rustin… I had to track him to see if he too was hanging with Baldwin during the movement and y’all already know Baldwin was with all things moving! 👏🏾👏🏾

Currently reading… and it’s cute so far! Have you read it?

Rereading Sula at 39 is definitely a move. If you are exploring the work of Toni Morrison… or any classic… I would say a reread may be necessary especially if you read it 10-15 years removed. What’s the last book you reread at a different age and your eyes opened a little more in time?

This was a good time 💃🏽 Add it to your holiday TBR!

"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened." —Nikki Giovanni 💔 #poem #poems #poetry

Nikki Rosa once said… #blackbooksky #RestinPower

To our Nikki Rosa… I met Soror Nikki for a 3rd time in 2019… and I was just as starstruck as the first time I met her… She was ours and we hers… May she rest and find favor because she gave us so much and we could never repay her in this lifetime. 💔🐘

We look but we don’t judge… this is the last of the books I need to put up before My Christmas tree takes their place 👀 Welcome to my world 😂😂😂😩😩

#BlackBooksky please hold me down when my book comes out (it also might be made into a movie if me and my literary agent are successful in these meetings). But I care solely about the book. I never thought I’d write a book. It is truly my love letter and battle cry for women.

So thankful for Black Women who continue to break the doors down of the publishing industry! I’m tagging some of my most recently gifted books below! #blacksky #20booksbyblackwomen

The results are in NYT’s most notable of 2024… Check out my results below 👀😂😂 How are y’all fairing?

I can’t get my pressure up over a book awards that is hosted by a big box that probably is fueled by the shackles of TikTok recommendations… Yes y’all get to vote but who makes the decisions on what books to put up there anyway? 👀

So NOW reading too FAST is a problem? Tell me you never received a personal pan pizza for every 10 books you read without telling me

It's all fun and games til all of your library holds are ready at the same time 😐 #BlackBookSky 🌎📚

The urge to scream Mustardddddd and turn the tv off turn the tv off… at least once an hour… Nieeee Kendrickkkkk #blacksky

I’m say this one more time… Tyler Perry could never 😩😩😩 #Cross

Currently in a chokehold watching Cross on Amazon Prime… I’ve been in love with ALDIs since Underground 😩😩😩

When you are up and you know dog on well it’s too late to start a new book… or is it? Lmbooo 👀😩

Y’all remember when I told y’all James was going to win the National Book Award for Fiction on Oct 1? Well it happened last night! Congratulations to Percival Everett for this masterpiece… Have y’all read this?

My #1 responsibility is getting kids to read… If we don’t who will? #literacyadvocateforall

Let her cook 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

I’m looking for my people… 1. If you want to read books by Black people 😬 #20booksbyblackwomen #20booksbyblackfolx 2. See number 1.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Trying to figure out why I’m wide awake and do I want to read and regret this 3 hours from now or reclaim my sleep 😩😩😩

Okay. If I did this correctly, this link will take you some of Black BookTok’s BEST and BRIGHTEST! I’ll continue to add more as I find them and/or as they join. 💛 #BlackBooksSky go.bsky.app/A6micpn
