Happy Books and Roses Day! If youre a plant and book lover, this is your day! Treat yourself to a book today or wait till Saturday for Indie Bookstore Day!

Over the weekend, I finished @thisone0verhere.bsky.social 's book, Winterset Hollow. It was incredible! The prose was poetic and beautiful. If you ever wanted your favorite story to be real, this novel is a delightful reminder to be careful what you wish for. I highly recommend giving it a go!

Just finished this amazing book by Andrew Hui. Non-fiction books are hit and miss with me, but this one was such a joy to read! Give it a shot if it suits your fancy :)

Always!!

It’s the fool who thinks folklore is merely tales for children. The fool as well who thinks most lore is only pale misremembering of history. For folklore is a living conversation between yesterday and tomorrow, between people and place. It is an ark of shared wisdom. - #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

We love libraries! PBS's documentary Free For All: The Public Library traces the history of the American public library system, from the late 1800s to the book bannings and budget cuts of today: reactormag.com/trailer-for-...

From job seekers to storytime toddlers, libraries lift us all. We build stronger, smarter, more connected communities when we support them. #BookSky 💙📚 #TLSky

Happy Tolkien Day!! Let this be a reminder that good will always win but in these darker moments we should remember that "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us"! #booksky #Tolkien #hobbit #LOTR #fantasy #mythopoeic

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically. #UniteAgainstBookBans www.denverpost.com/2025/03/19/e...

It's not random that some of the first domestic targets of the current administration are colleges, museums, and libraries.

Great Italian idiom for you: specchietto per le allodole. "A mirror for skylarks." Literally, people would hunt larks w/a mirror to attract them into nets. Figuratively, it means using flashy promises/actions to fool gullible people from focusing on real issues. Good thing that's not a problem now!
