Reverie by K.C. Rainey was a cozy, easy fantasy read with a sea-swept small town, apothecary vibes, found family warmth, and a slow-building “something is wrong here” mystery. Very slow burn and slow pacing, but I’m interested enough to continue the trilogy. #queerbooks #indiebooks 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰📚🌎

Until the Clock Strikes Midnight was a breath of fresh air. Cozy romantic fantasy with Cinderella vibes, dual POV, great chemistry, and an adorable epilogue. Low-stress tone but still fast-paced and emotionally thoughtful, with nuanced mental health representation. #queerbooks #diversebooksky

Freddie and Stella Got Hot is one of those rare books where the comps are accurate: Jenny Han meets Mean Girls, with a dash of Heathers energy. Chaotic, messy, and still well written. I read it in one sitting, and the ending is fantastic. #diversebooks #queerbooks 💙📚🌎

The Sigil Five and Dragos Primeri Stories by Natalie Wright. Out March 3, 2026. I have loved the Dragos Primeri series and cannot wait for new illustrated stories and fresh lore. #indiebooks #epicfantasy

Cover reveal: Raven of the Scorned. I am STUNNED by this cover. Daughter of the Dead was one of my 5-star reads last year, and I’ve been eagerly waiting for this sequel since I finished Book 1 last September. “The daughter of the dead will make the world whole.” 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰📚🌎 #bipocbooksky #queerbooks

Thank you to R&R Book Tours for the review copy. When Everything Was Fresh & Green is an excellent contemporary fantasy with a fresh magic system, found family, and a steady ramp-up that kept me hooked. Astrid and Cece were favorites. Cozy vibes with teeth. #queerbooks 💙📚🌎🪐📚

Leave It on the Track is a heartfelt YA about grief, anxiety, queer first love, and finding community through roller derby. The grief metaphor (a ball in a box that gets smaller over time) really stuck with me. Tender, funny, and hopeful without pretending healing is linear. 📚🌎📚💙📚 #queerbooks

Just got a finished copy of A Steep and Savage Path by JJA Harwood. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s gothic vampire fantasy with an afterlife quest to reclaim a sister’s soul. Enemies-to-lovers + eerie vibes? I’m in.

This novella is a Grimm’s-style satiric fairy tale with teeth. Darkly funny, disturbing, and somehow packs a ridiculous amount of commentary on family expectations and obligation into 97 pages. Also: Lady Gastrell is the worst, and I loved her. Thank you H. & S. Alvaurence for gifting me a copy.

Finished An Arcane Inheritance by Kamilah Cole. Dark academia vibes, secret societies, forbidden magic, and a university built on exploitation. Starts a bit slow, then the back half goes bananas with a twist I *truly* didn’t see coming. #blackbooksky #queerbooks 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰📚🌎

Read Mimeograph by Eira A. Ekre in one sitting. 64-page speculative sci-fi with surreal dread: printing machines that stop giving you what you ask for and start giving you what they think you need. Thought-provoking and unsettling in the best way. 🪐📚 💙 #booksky

It's that time of year where I start to put together my "Most Anticipated" list. I want to feature books from diverse indie authors, so if you have a release in 2026 - drop a line here! #diversebooksky #blackbooksky #latinebooks #indigenousbooks #disabledbooksky #queerbooks #indiebooks

What's everyone reading today? I'm currently reading an ARC of Blood Moon by Britney S. Lewis and I'm loving it! #booksky #diversebooksky #diversebooks #blackbooksky

I may not have won the lottery, but getting an ARC of The Isle in the Silver Sea by @tashasuri.bsky.social from @orbitbooks.bsky.social is close enough! #booksky #diversebooks

I’m so excited to be reading The Lavender Blade by E.L. Deards. Queer con men faking exorcisms until it all becomes terrifyingly real? Sign me up. This is gothic, intense, and full of devotion, magic, and danger. 💙📚🪐📚⏰📚 #diversebooks #diversebooksky #queerbooks

Afterlife bureaucracy. Ghost-reaper tension. And a romance that’s finally catching fire. Just finished Hate to Haunt You and this series continues to be an absolute chaotic queer delight. Check out my Insta for more of my review! #booksky #diversebooksky #diversebooks #queerbooks #booktok 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰

If anyone other than my 2 year old nephew FaceTimed me on the one day a week I get to sleep in, it would have been the last time we ever spoke...but something about how damn excited that kid is to see me means he's instantly forgiven.

Everything is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social macarons 💛 #booksky I've been a fan of John's writing for years now, but as someone who works for a global health NGO this book was especially important to me. Thank you John, please consider these macarons my "Polo" to your "Marco"

Hey book friends, how long do we think before a "re-read" is like an original read again because my brain is apparently full of holes and if it has been a few years- that isn't a re-read for me that ish is brand spanking new 😂 #booksky #readersky #booktok

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. I’m sharing a crime/horror hybrid about friendship, revenge, monsters, and magic. Get yourself a few books. You deserve it! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/hous...

I’m so grateful for the love you have been showing Cry, Voidbringer! I have been in love with this book since the moment I first read it. Go read it and if you can, drop a review with your honest experience with the story! Thanks, y’all! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book... #cryvoidbringer #leftunread

Not all books are for all readers. But if you don’t want any reader to have access to a book, you probably need to work that out in therapy, not a public school board meeting. #booksky

I'm currently in Miami, which is where Camila spends her summers, so it only felt appropriate to make this my beach read today. Loving the vibes of this story and of South Beach!! #diversebooksky 📚🌏📚💙📚

I doubt any of you will be surprised by my opinions on this, but I wanted to take a moment to really lay out my reasons for my position. Fighting for Black and brown indie authors HAS to be our priority if we want an ethical publishing industry in the future.

Yesterday (When I began writing this) was the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's murder. And as I read all of your statuses and grieved with you, here is a bit of what was (and is) going through my head. The future is scary, but it is not without hope. And I want to take a moment to acknowledge that.

Such an interesting read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Set in post-colonial Trinidad, this historical paranormal horror was a delight to read. Took a bit to settle in to the dialogue and writing style, but it was well worth it! #booksky #diversebooks #blackbooks 📚💙📚🌏📚🪐

I was excited to dive back into The Glitched Series with Shattered, but this sequel didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While I loved the ideas and themes, the execution felt a bit disjointed. The pacing was inconsistent, and the plot twists didn’t always feel natural. #booksky #booktok 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰

Latest book review for Why on Earth, a fun and mostly lighthearted anthology of stories surrounding a bunch of teenaged aliens crash landing on Earth and all the shenanigans that ensue. I really enjoyed this one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky #diversebooksky #diversebooks #queerbooks #booktok 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰

Current ARC read is Shattered by Eisley Rose, an indie author. This is the second of the Glitched series, and is such a good blending of fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and action! #booksky 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰
