FINAL, FINAL DAY TO GET 404 INK BOOKS! Shop is turned off Tuesday 30th June! www.404ink.com/shop

Just started a new book and it has set the record for the earliest I've ever cried reading something - chapter 1. #booksky #queerhistory #pridehistory

Got this cute bookshelf in a recycling shop at a local dump for £11.50. Next goal is to try a read a handful of books so my whole TBR fits on it. #booksky

Love reading a protagonist who faints regularly as a low blood pressure girly. #booksky

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

If you love long spanning love stories, Everything Comes Back to You by Jackie Khalilieh is a great new YA romance out soon. Like the author, the main character is autistic Palestinian Canadian. I was lucky enough to read it early to review, and the yearning... #booksky #diversebooks

🏳️‍⚧️ 120 Members of Parliament Almost 20% of the whole House of Commons, including an increasing backlash from the Labour benches. A number cannot sign EDMs as ministers, whips and PPSs - so the Labour percentage is higher than if compared to the theoretical total of all Labour MPs

Lying under a fan during a UK heatwave, cursing the sun, while promoting a queer horror book about Britain’s collapse during a climate apocalypse. I really need to write about nice things so they can come true instead. In the meantime, you can preorder here! www.amazon.co.uk/This-World-E... 📚💙

UK people, please get out and vote in your local elections today! Stats show that far right voters are more likely to get out and have their way than left wing voters, and that really impacts the outcomes.

When I lived in Bath I went one day to three respected (and decent sized) bookshops & looked for disability sections. I asked the bookseller for disability rights books. All were puzzled what I was asking for & when I gave examples of books could not suggest any others. I felt invisible. #booksky

Listening to this great book which talks about disability justice sections in bookshops. Please tell me the bookshops you know with disability justice sections! (Online too) Two I know are @lighthousebks.bsky.social in Edinburgh and Queer Lit in Manchester!

The best things I did to help with my chronic illnesses (acknowledging I'm lucky) 1. Make disabled friends 2. Move out of the city 3. Cut off most of my hair

Had a glorious time reading a novel in a sitting for the first time this year. When a book is this good, it breaks through my ADHD lack of concentration. @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social Bookmark made by @becklovesbooks.bsky.social #diversebooks #booksky

My ADHD is peaking today so my mantra is "the only way to begin is by beginning". #gamechanger #dropout

Unironically leaning into my special interests

I have started a re-read of Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba ahead of a book club to discuss it and it is just as hopeful and practical as I remember. Absolutely necessary, urgent reading, especially in this climate. #booksky

Went to the cutest little free library I've ever been to this weekend. It was outside of an old gatehouse and had a diverse, curated selection of high quality secondhand books along with bookmarks, stickers and other trinkets! #littlefreelibrary #booksky

Just started reading an arc The Genie Game by Jordan Ifueko and I am hooked. It reminds me of a middle grade Octavia Butler. Disclosure: I've been lucky enough to read an early copy to review. #booksky

Ahhhh! It's live. I'm so excited to share the cover of my first book with @academic.oup.com which is coming out in August! Get ready for all the Kiss Me, Kate facts in the coming weeks and months. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/too-...

I have wanted a copy of this for literal years, so excited that my other half surprised me with it today. Can't wait to get stuck in. #booksky #diversebooks

Good morning, everyone. Group hug! ❤️ Photo: The Artemis II crew after they looped around the far side of the moon and started for home. ABC news.

The Other Bennett Sister book and TV adaptation are more like cousins than twins, but I am obsessed with both. #booksky

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

This is in the final stretch! There's so many cool items, please take a look

Two of my favourite things in books: -Content warnings (yes please, especially as a PTSD girly) -Illustrated maps of small towns (adorable, cosy, helps me imagine the setting) #booksky

Just opened the latest book from Talia Hibbert which I pre-ordered from my local indie bookshop and I've noticed it's signed! Always finding more reasons indie bookshops are the best. #booksky #romancebooksky #diversebooks

Thank you #booksky for being so ready and willing to use the sapphic label to describe books instead of defaulting to lesbian when the identities of the characters are unknown. It really makes me seen as a bi person, especially one who doesn't tend to date men. 😊

For International Women’s Day, I want to highlight one of the most courageous women I have ever known, Alaa Alaa is the mother of 2 beautiful daughters. They live in Gaza. I’ve been trying to help them for nearly 2 yrs. Our donations are keeping them alive I’ll keep trying. Donation link in my bio

I LOVE the cover and can't wait to read it!

Like Audre Lorde said in a commencement address, “Every day of our lives is practice in becoming the person you want to be.”

A space heist to steal from an AI company with queer neurodivergent rebellion throughout! I had a great time reading this for early review, and my favourite part was seeing an autistic character where more stigmatised parts of our condition was left in. @ada-hoffmann.bsky.social #booksky #PRgift

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

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 🥹
