Is anyone else having trouble with @libbyapp.com today? I can’t sync shelves on any device all of a sudden and it won’t even let me clear data and start from scratch.

I just crossed the street at a crosswalk in front of a #Waymo. It stopped for me, but as I was walking it continued to slowly creep forward in the same unsettling way some human drivers do. I still think they’re safer than the average driver on the street, but they’re becoming jerks! #sanfrancisco

So, uh, is @thestorygraph.com down? #booksky

For any authors concerned about their books being stolen to train AI, this is @societyofauthors.bsky.social's suggestion for how to respond.

Is there a place to find supplemental pdfs for audiobooks on @netgalley.bsky.social? This is one that really just comes up with nonfiction, but I love a nonfiction listen. #booksky #nonfiction #audiobooks

Oh shit.

Have any of you read The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami? I just got to part 3 and I swear I seems like my reader glitched and served me a whole different book! Would like to discuss. #booksky #litfic

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Is there a secret place on @netgalley.bsky.social that shows how long books are? I feel like that would make my decisions about what to request 100000x more informed.

Just finished How to Live Free in a Dangerous World. Shayla Lawson transported me around the world and taught me about her perspectives oncolonialism (as the subtitle suggests) but also identity/gender, sex, and power.Am looking forward to digging into her back catalog. #booksky #memoir #essays

The ONE person who benefits from defunding Libby/Overdrive and libraries is Jeff Bezos. 📚💙

I'm pretty proud of my review of @lauriewoolever.bsky.social's Care and Feeding. This book is an unflinching account of her lived experience. Some reviewers seem to hope the book will answer questions about the men she's worked with. She's told their stories. This is hers. #booksky #foodtok

I’m reading Care and Feeding by @lauriewoolever.bsky.social and listening to Butter by Asako Yuzuki. Am really enjoying both but the themes of excess and gluttony in both books are swirling my brain into cocktail of butter, pork belly and French wine. #booksky #foodsky

There are certain books that I like to have on hand to give as gifts, but otherwise I don’t even usually own most of the books I read. Last year I read more than 500 books so I wouldn’t have the space or cash to buy them all!

If you’re a Jane Austen fan, and of course you are, you’ve got to get Jane Austen’s Bookshelf. It’s such a fun read, I learned a lot, and it’s been so fun to start digging into the works of the authors she writes about.

Ok #booksky, do we know anyone who actually got together with their person via fake dating?

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Really loved O Sinners! by @nicolethecuffy.bsky.social. I recommend it for anyone looking for lit fic that’s poignant but readable. Thank you to Random House for the ARC. Read it! #booksky #litfic

I'm consolidating finances with my spouse. Reached out to #Amex to downgrade my Platinum card to a free card. Learned you can't downgrade card to anything less than $150/year. It's my oldest credit line so my average age of credit will tank if I cancel it. The original card was a $25 annual fee.

Just finished By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult (my first by this author) and I was underwhelmed. Great premise and some interesting moments, but so under-edited and about 150 pages too long! #booksky #booktok

I’ve been recapping my reading every month through annotated screenshots of Goodreads on insta. I’ll probably do something different in January, but here’s Feb! Lmk if you read any of these and what you think! #booksky

I never hear the phrase “of yours” in the wild, but I swear every romance novel MMC uses it at least 5 times per book. #booksky

It’s so annoying when I’m online shopping and listening to an audiobook and the store website’s chat agent makes a noise that overrides my audiobook!

Anecdotally, a huge percentage of the successful women I know are on an SSRI like Lexapro or similar. Does this mean we should be stocking up? This man is truly terrifying. #mentalhealth #rfkjr

Ok, I go to Hawaii for a few days then I’m back and the girls are putting beef tallow on their faces?!?!

The firecrackers and fireworks in downtown SF tonight are so so so loud. When did lunar New Year become the whole month of February?

Corporations want control over your digital books, ending the concept of ownership www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Have been reading a lot of ARCs and I’ve noticed that Fable doesn’t seem to have a lot of them and takes a long time to add. Should I drop Fable? Are others using it? #booksky

Looking for contemporary mysteries/thrillers by BIPOC female and/or LGBTQIA authors. What should I read!? #booksky #readbannedbooks #diversebooks #diversereading (I read from many genres but realized this is an area where I seem to go back to the same few white women and I would love to mix it up.)

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Have been trying to track identities of authors I'm reading, and went back and input them for last year. My reading skews heavily toward white woman like me, but the act of tracking has really expanded my range. (First chart is 54 books read in Jan 2025, second is 522 books read in 2024).

Is Goodreads down for anyone else? (Am trying to move to Storygraph but still have to post reviews on Goodreads to get those Arcs!) #booksky

Started Parable of the Sower and started sobbing. So maybe today is a romance day. #booksky

Very happy for Beyoncé. I don’t know that this is the album I would have given her the award for, but she certainly has deserved it many times. #grammys

How did they decide which firefighters get to present album of the year? #grammys

We do not deserve Alicia Keys. #grammys

Thank you Gaga for talking about trans people!!! #grammys I know there is a really important message with the fires in this show but I just can’t help feeling like this platform is also important to talk about the terrifying things happening in our federal government.

I’m not in favor of anything memorializing Michael Jackson (does his estate all go to victims at this point? That would be better.) But Janelle Monare is absolutely iconic and I can’t even breathe. #grammys
