I saw a woman on the train pull out Martyr by Kaveh Akbar, and I could not stop myself from telling her I loved that book. I think my heart skipped a beat 💀 #booksky

I definitely could make a favorite books of 2025 list…but that would be quitting! 12 days is so much time to find a new fave #booksky

haven't posted here in so long, but I came to say: if you haven't read Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar, stop what you're doing a read it right now. #booksky #bookrecommendation

Some of my Memorial Day weekend reads. What was your favorite read this long weekend? #booksky

Consider this my formal apology with tears for my post yesterday. I thought this one was getting here on May 20th and I was salty 💀 #booksky #blackbooksky

So when I preorder a book, it should be at my door the day it comes out??

Picked up Mosab Abu Toha’s new release, Forest of Noise, and each page has been a beautifully written gut punch. Such a powerful poetry collection #booksky

Listening to a romance audiobook, and I’ve decided that fake dating is my favorite trope. Will not be taking questions at this time thx 🫶🏾 #booksky #romancebooksky

Trying to fix my skylight algorithm to focus on books, but I’m not sure how. Any tips? #booksky

Republicans in Georgia want to have me arrested HB483, which used to be a bipartisan bill about Assault and Battery now has the "jail the librarian" language in it If I loan a book w/ a romance w/ 2 boys in it, a parent could have me arrested. #georgia #booksky www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1...

Finished Legendborn! Can I send Tracy Deonn an early invoice for the emotional damage she’s gonna put me through in the rest of this series? Just wanna be prepared #booksky #blackbooksky #legendborn

Did I finish The Death of Vivek Oji…or did it finish me? #booksky

Legendborn is so good!! I just got to part 3 of book and I’m kicking myself for not starting sooner #booksky #blackbooksky

This novella has stuck with me since finishing. It tackles grief and overcoming the loss of community from the lens of a trans woman in a tender way. Good read for people that like character-driven & emotional stories. Check content warnings since it deals with difficult subjects #booksky

Finished Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor and loved it! As someone that doesn't read a lot of sci-fi, it was a great introduction for me as it felt like a mix of literary fiction with futuristic elements. Made me laugh, cry and reflect on life. Can't wait to read more from this author #booksky

I just realized that I hug books that I really like after I’m done reading them??? Didn’t really have anyone to share this with so here you go… #booksky

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Being a mood reader and wanting to join a book club don’t go together… #booksky

Would not recommend getting laid off from your job while trying to get over seasonal depression and watching a constitutional crisis… Send happy/distracting book recs plz 🫶🏾 #booksky
