This is your sign to talk to friends about your local library! I spoke to a friend recently who didn't realise it was free for adults to sign up and also didn't know that there are no late charges at our local library. It's now on her list to check it out. #booksky #supportyourlibrary

It's rare that we get a romance with epilepsy and service dog rep, and toxic parents to boot. The Match by Sarah Adams was easygoing and full of Southern charm. #disabledbooksky #diversebooks #booksky

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

I always wanted to make one of those graphics with the arrows and now I have :D #IgnoreThisBook

This is the cosy I need right now after staying informed on the latest world and national events. A teenager flees to her great-aunt's quirky B&B to heal from an awful break up and finds it even stranger and warmer than she first imagined. [Gifted e-arc] #booksky #cozybooks #cosybooks

I'm having a shitty evening of not being able to go somewhere cause I'm disabled and the place isn't accessible. But then I opened this book which feels like it is so frankly written for me to understand more than others because I'm disabled. Made me feel a little better. (E-arc gifted) #booksky

Started reading my first poetry collection of the year: my first Andrea Gibson, and I'm already sure it won't be my last. #booksky #queerbooksky #poetry

Starting my first @netgalley.bsky.social e-arc of the year with flirting between more than a few women and family drama all over. On a reading roll, and this kind of intrigue and chemistry is perfect to keep me going. I received this e-arc to honestly review #diversebooks #queerbooks #booksky

Reintroduction! I’m Naomi an Ojibwe book content creator who reads diversely and in every genre. I created Indigenous book bingo to help people find more Indigenous books and run the Good Day to Read Indigenous book club for free members of my Bindery: boozhoo.binderybooks.com

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s share some books and boost all signals. Repost this & let us know what to repost for you. Angry? Here’s one about injustice, racism, and colonialism. You know, with monsters, magic, murder, grief, and ghosts. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/hous...

I say this often but it bears repeating: if you make your money from creating art then you NEED to find an art or craft where you just do it for fun and don't try to be perfect or make any money from it, and when anyone tells you to monetise it you say 'No', because otherwise your soul will die.

The snowballing white lie is usually a trope I can't enjoy cause it stresses me out too much. So far though, The Truth According to Ember is the exception. It's charming and messy in a human, realistic way. If you haven't read any Danica Nava yet, make this your year! #diversebooks

I adopted my dog 3 years ago and although she has become a lot more confident, she has never shown any interest in toys at all. This morning my Christmas present is catching her actually playing with a toy for the first time ever 🥹

A gorgeous, cosy Welsh Christmas romance with achillean, trans masc, bisexual, physical disability and neurodivergent rep? 🥹 This book just kept getting cuter as it went on and I loved it! #diversebooksky #diversebooks #booksky

Introduced my dog to our local indie bookshop properly this week where she got given treats by the booksellers. Two days later she is now banned from going to said bookshop because anytime we go anywhere near it, she tries to drag me through moving traffic to get there. #booksky

Having a very cute queer time with an achillean Christmas romance, would recommend for a cosy evening in or with a cup of tea at your local bookstore. #queerbooksky #diversebooks #queerbooks

When I picked this book up for a joyous, quick read today I was not expecting some of the best chronic illness rep I've read all year. It is so beautiful to feel seen through books. #disabledbooks #booksky #diversebooksy

With anti-trans news every day, we're on a mission to bring festive joy to trans+ youth 🎄 We have just closed sign ups for this year's Trans Secret Santa with hundreds and hundreds of registrations. 🎅 Now we we need your help making the gifts as magical as possible ✨ www.transsecretsanta.co.uk

It's the @plutopress.bsky.social half price sale at the moment! I want to especially recommend Elite Capture by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social , which I went through with an organising group earlier in the year. It inspired me to make big life changes. #booksky #diversebooksky

You know an algorithm is bad when it sees you listening to Maintenance Phase and suggests you might want to listen to a Turning Point USA podcast next 🤢

Alice Wong was an incredible leader, activist and writer and this news is devastating for the disability community today 😔

Currently reading Black and British by David Olusoga and now will be getting rid of my Tennyson poetry and not reading any Dickens. They both supported the acquittal of Edward John Eyre after he lost his job due to carrying out a massacre in Jamaica whilst he was governor. #booksky

Every day the world gets worse, I get nerdier. The ceasefire failed? I’m going to deep dive into this Kpop band Trinidad reinstated sodomy laws? I’m going to binge this gay Thai show Spotify CEO invested in AI military? Time to join a new DnD campaign Sudan’s fucked? TIME TO REWATCH LOTR AGAIN

Small chronic pain things that feel like big hits: 1. It hurts to hold hands with people because of terrible joints. 2. It's hard to get comfy snuggling cause my back is so fussy. 3. Stroking my dog for any length of time really injures my wrists. Fuck pain. #chronicpain #disabledbluesky

SO looking forward to this discussion next Saturday at the Radical Book Fair

Finally got a chance to read Gender Queer and had an amazing time. Beautiful artwork, wonderfully nuanced discussion and ace rep I didn't know about going in. I wish it was in more UK libraries! #diversebooks #queerbooksky #queerbooks

If you want a poly, queer, spicy romantasy that puts a new twist on heaven and hell, I think you will love this. As an exvangelical, it was delightful in all the best ways. Son of the Morning by Akwaeke Emezi. Gifted an e-arc in exchange for review. #diversebooksky #booksky #romantasy

Walking my dog this early this morning and saw a local shopkeeper opening the awning at an indie with someone else wrapping their arms around their waist. They looked so cosy and happy and people are sometimes beautiful 🥹

TBR challenge update Books left to read: 18 Days left in 2025: 91 Confidence I will finish: 5/10 Starting this today, have heard so many good things. #diversebooksky #booksky

Just got an email to let me know that I have early access to read and review Son of the Morning by Akwaeke Emezi. This is my most anticipated book release for the rest of 2025 and feel so lucky! #diversebooks #booksky

There is something uniquely sobering about reading a collection of writing by young Gazan authors and hoping at the end of each story that their update will tell you that they survived to the book being published. Yousef Maher Dawas didn't. This is from We Are Not Numbers, a book I recommend.

"Actual death is when you don't stand up for what is right" From a degree in surviving assaults by Basman Derawi in We Are Not Numbers: The Voices of Gaza's Youth #booksky #diversebooks

Has anyone read Patsy? Starting it today with a blank slate of opinions and looking forward to it. TBR challenge update Books on TBR: 25 Days left in 2025: 117 Confidence I will finish it: 8/10 #diversebooks #booksky

Found this little croissant on my bed.

Trying to read my entire physical TBR by the end of 2025 Books remaining: 26 Days remaining: 119 Confidence I will do it: 6/10 This might be the most fun book I've read this year. I love dark comedy and I love Pride & Prejudice.

Wee username update and name reveal for anyone who I communicate with regularly! I want to work towards writing about disability one day and this is the first baby step.

I made a little bookmark holder to sit on my TBR shelf. It is very wobbly but I am rather fond of it. #booksky

Another update to the map - Four months later and protests are still happening 🏳️‍⚧️ (Green markers for completed demos, red for upcoming) www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e... 141 protests and events and counting! Keep following and supporting @whatthetrans.com for updates

Trying to read my entire physical TBR by the end of 2025 Current total: 27 Days left in year: 126 Confidence I will finish: 7/10 I have re-picked up this book to round out women in translation month - an intersectional book which packs a lot into a short number of pages. #booksky #diversebooksky

The first 150 pages were slow paced, with learning Chinese history fascinating enough to keep me going. I cried for at least 85 of the last 150 pages, the gentle building was clearly meant to destroy me later. #booksky #diversebooksky

Feeling super impulsive and noticing it is in a cycle. Of course it's ADHD, apparently traits can get much stronger depending on hormone levels. Do I even have a personality, or is it just a jigsaw puzzle of my disabilities? 🤣

If anyone else has read this, please let me know! I've not been this lost since I studied philosophy in uni 😭 I fear I am the problem, time travel notoriously confuses me. (I am reading an e-arc to review) #booksky

I'm trying to read my whole physical TBR by the end of 2025. Current total: 28 Days left in year: 130 Confidence that I will complete it: 6/10 Just starting Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien (please lemme know your thoughts, I've heard nothing about it)

I topped up the oil in my car today! There was about 8 steps leading up to it and my ADHD made it really interesting to get the motivation for all of them, but now I feel like a strong independent woman.

Disability Pride book recommendations day 3: My favourite book of the year so far, featuring PTSD. The writing is beautiful and careful and it's a story of rediscovering yourself in the safety of strong friendships. #booksky #disabledbooksky

News is swirling around about the chaotic concessions and bill push-through yesterday. But what are the actual changes and how will they impact you? Our Welfare Policy Officer, Ken Butler takes you through it all in this piece👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/governm...

Book recommendations for Disability Pride month day 2: This is one from a pretty popular billionaire romance series, but it also has dyslexia rep! I enjoyed the specific details around accessibility woven into the story. #romancebooksky #disabledbooksky #diversebooks
