8 days into the new year and already dnf-ed 2 books 💪 Also am celebrating not having bought any new books yet 🎉 What are you celebrating after the first week? #booksky

I've read 97 books in 2025. 50 were from my #tbr . #bookstats #tbr #storygraph #subabbau

Happy New Year! Lets start with some stats ✌️ First; wrapup of December. I enjoyed all of these, big thanks to the publishers for several ARCs. 2026 is going to have some amazing publications. My top books of 2025 will be posted soon. #booksky #storygraph

Last #bookhaul of 2025. All the books that moved in between Oktober and now. The left pile contains the books already read. Lots to look forward to in 2026. With these I got a total of 89 books in 2025. Way too much for my taste, remember I planned on not surpassing 50... #booksky #tbr #stats

#LeWo25 reading challenge update: Ready to start the Undead Fox today. Finished Heft by Liz Moore, dnf-ed Silken Gazelles and replaced it with Seascraper by Benjamin Wood. Finished that yesterday, its an amazing audiobook with songs and narrated by Wood himself. #tbr #readingchallenge

#LeWo25 Update: Silken Gazelles is a dnf after 20% , got 60% into Heft and plan on finishing it today. Started a new audiobook for today ( Seascraper ) and still need to start on Undead Fox. #readingchallenge #tbr #booksky

Happy Holidays! What a nice christmas book haul. Excited to start these next year. Well, one I'll try to read tomorrow for #LeWo25 🤞 The big quarter book haul is coming soon. #booksky #tbr #bookhaul

Decision help please: What should I read in the last week of 2025? ☃️ On my tbr since july 🎄 New release 🎁 Netgalley future release In the mood for every single one 😅 #booksky

2025 is my year of robot lit. After finishing the Murderbot Series I finally started Service Model by Tchaikovsky. Open for more rec's from this genre to read in 2026. #booksky

Now the title has changed to "The Woman, the Boy and the Whale" and the cover got removed 😨😫 Why??? Everything was perfect?!

Tried the Alphabet Challenge this year and am missing 2. For Q I found a book on my TBR: Qimmik by Michel Jean! Lets see if I can squeeze that into this month 🤞 Can anyone recommend a book starting with X? #booksky #readingchallenge

Absolutely thrilled to announce that this season’s must have accessory is once again ✨ a book ✨

First book of December: Took me a while to get my hands on this edition but thanks to a friend and #goldsborobooks it is finally mine. The beginning is promising. #elizaclark #newin #tbr #booksky

#Wrapup of my November reads. Got some titles of my tbr. No highlight this month. #booksky #storygraph #tbr

11 months of trying not to stress myself, quality over quantity, led to this. 37 days left to continue in my pace. Will I get to 100? Maybe. Maybe it'll be 91 in the end. Only hoping I like the upcoming books 🤞

This one got pushed to 2027 😢 Found out thx to @readjapaneseliterature.com

#Lesegrusel Update: Read 3 books from my tbr, in the middle of Layla Martinez and started Katabasis.

Had a reading trip planned and these are the 3 books I packed. TBR from 2019, 2024 and last month. Let's get to it! #lesegrusel #booksky

Thx to #lesegrusel by @kaisu.bsky.social I finally finished Hot Wax by Rio yesterday. This was also on my #gruselbingo for my october spooky reads. Not spooky at all 😅 3 more books planned for this Weekend 💪

October #lesemonat Best: My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen. A good mix. Some spooky and disturbing books, some lighthearted feel good titles in the middle. What was the best book you read in October? #booksky

Congratulations to Vajra Chandrasekera (@vajra.me), recipient of the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction for Rakesfall! Chandrasekera's book was chosen by authors Matt Bell, Indra Das, Kelly Link, Sequoia Nagamatsu, and Rebecca Roanhorse.

Hello @panmacmillan.bsky.social 1. Stop #fbm25 @buchmesse.de

Weekend Reading Plans: Geinfluenced durch @magdarine.bsky.social habe ich mit Hustle von Julia Bähr begonnen. Audio der Woche ist Der Fluch der Falodun Frauen von Oyinkan Braithwaite. What are you reading this weekend? #booksky #tbr

"You must be careful with that, Roos. It's a dangerous thing, to try and give someone everything. One day, you might find you've given away things you should've kept. Some parts of us must remain inviolate if we are to survive as a person." My Darling Dreadful Thing - Johanna Van Veen #booksky

#Currentlyreading : for #gruselbingo I finally started "My Darling Dreadful Thing " by Johanna Van Veen. Went into this not knowing anything, and am loving it so far. Has been on my tbr for probably a year. #booksky

September Wrapup Instead of concentrating on my planned "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell" I got impatient and read some books inbetween to finish a book this month. Liked all of these titles and I am halfway into Strange & Norell. Dnf-ed 1 book not listed here. #booksky

Finally! The news I've been waiting for; a translation for 52-Hertz Whales by Sonoko Machida

Bookhaul: New Ins of the last three months. Left pile is still unread. Surpassed my limit of 50 books 🫣 Jetzt bin ich aber gespannt, wie viele es bis zum Ende des Jahres noch werden... #vierteljahresupdate #rachedessub #tbrpile #toread #bookhaul

We are delighted to reveal the #BookerPrize2025 shortlist – six books that ‘are all brilliantly written and brilliantly human’. ➡️ Discover the full list: thebookerprizes.com/bp2025

"あまんじゃくはなんにでもはんたいするんです"

Spooky plans: Meine Auswahl fürs #gruselbingo . Mal sehen, was ich davon bis Ende November gelesen habe. Fingers crossed that I'll finish at least 2 of these till the end of November. Which one first? #spooky #tbr #horror

Currently in the middle of "To the moon and back" by Eliana Ramage. Really enjoying it! 90s and early 2000s, Cherokee background, lgbtq+ 35% in and might finish by tomorrow. #booksky #elianaramage #currentlyreading

I know it’s not Caturday but I was late with the evening treat and found this waiting for me.

The only book on my September TBR: Made a deal with a customer to motivate each other. Been wanting to read this for years but am honestly not really sure... Wish me luck. #booksky #susannaclarke #bookclub

These are the books I've read in August. Backman's My Friend ended up being a 3.95🌟 and the best book of the month. No misses this time. What was your fav book of August? #booksky

Starting this week with John Wiswell's Someone You Can Build a Nest in. I read somewhere that this is Cozy Horror? My first book in that genre. What are you all reading this week? #booksky

"The person we fall in love with, we hardly ever call by their name. Because it's somehow just so obvious that it's you I'm talking to, that it's you I'm always thinking of. Who else?" Quote by Fredrik Backman - My Friends #booksky #quote

Currently in the middle of Fredrik Backman 's My Friends and pretty sure it'll be a 5🌟 Coverart by Amy Devlin #booksky #mostanticipated
