Listen, I normally avoid “book club” books because they’re inevitably mediocre at best… but I’ve been in a reading slump and I’m a sucker for a satire involving hashtaginfluencers, so… couldn’t help it. 🤷‍♀️ #booksky

bought these today because listen, I did really well with the whole not buying books thing for like 5 solid months, ok, so what if I’m buying books again, it’s fine, I’ll definitely read them all eventually maybe probably I guess I dunno quit interrogating me about it I CAN STOP ANY TIME #booksky

Finished two books! Murderbot was delightful, as always. Not my fave book of the series, but a solid 4⭐️. Neverland… oof. Sorely disappointed with that one. Full review here if you want deets on this 1.5⭐️ read: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Happy birthday to me! #books #bookhaul #booksky

This is Kyle. He’s just happy to be here. I should get him a #book to read… 💀📖 #booksky

Anyone see the booktok drama of the chick who trademarked the phrase “hot girls read”?? She is being draaaaaagged, lmao. Rightfully so, might I add… that phrase has been around for ages. Plus, now she’s alienating the community she claims to be part of. Greedy bitch move, in my opinion. #booksky

Anyway, here’s what followed me home! 😁 Have you read any of these? What books have you bought/borrowed recently? #booksky

Even the #speculativefiction table is mostly romantasy, wtf. 😭 C’mon, there are sooo many amazing regular fantasy and sci-fi books!! They deserve recognition! #booksky

Ugh, I honestly hate that like 75% of the fantasy section is straight-up romantasy. 🤢 At least it’s easy to distinguish between the two… romantasy books all have the same bland flowery, swirly covers. 🤣 #booksky

Having a serious internal battle about whether or not I should go to the #bookstore this morning… which part of my brain will win??? #booksky

Get a load of this dumbass author who doesn’t support libraries. 🙄 What an excellent way to make sure no one reads your books. #booksky #authorsky #libraries

Mother Nature says: today… BE GAY!!! 🌈

At an urgent care and the waiting room is nearly empty, so tell me why a woman sat directly fucking next to me. 😭 Why are people like this???

Oh wow, I haven’t posted in like 2 weeks. Things are boring, still in a reading slump… 😭 What are y’all reading right now? #booksky #readersky

This morning’s sunrise over a construction site… photo taken from a Wawa parking lot. #sunrise

It’s staff appreciation week, so we get to pick something from the company store. Gee whiz, I just feel so appreciated… 🙄

Oopsie poopsie, I bought #books two weeks in a row… 🤷‍♀️ #booksky #bookstore #reading

I wish bookstores would separate fantasy from romantasy. Usually I can tell romantasy because their covers all look exactly the same… but occasionally there’s a gem of a fantasy hidden amidst them. #booksky

First DNF of the year was Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland. The MC was absolutely insufferable and the “humor” was utterly cringey. It’s like the author tried to mimic the wit of Pratchett or Dawson/Hearne but failed miserably. Zero interest in reading more by this author. #booksky

3⭐️ ‘Twas meh. Was hoping for more female rage but it ended up being somewhat bland and anticlimactic. #booksky Review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I only read one book this month, and it wasn’t a very good book. 😭 Here’s hoping May gets me out of my reading slump! (Yes, I deleted and reposted. There was a typo and it made me mad.) #booksky #itsgonnabemay

*adds to list* #booksky

Someone convince me to keep using StoryGraph. I don’t love Goodreads because it’s Amazon, but I do like the social interaction and StoryGraph doesn’t have that. I don’t really care about the reading goals or graphs or anything. #booksky

Finally finished a book. It was fine. Somewhat generic and predictable. Attempted a sapphic aspect it but kind of fell flat. The MC was kind of annoying, tbh. Is apparently the first in a series, but I’m not interested in reading further. 2.5⭐️ I guess… #booksky

Oopsie poopsie, I bought #books!! Maybe these will pull me out of my #reading slump… 😭 Also, I fucking love Murderbot. #booksky

It was 90 degrees last week, y’all… 😭

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

I haven’t read a single book so far this month, but I’ve started like 12 😭 curse my brain #booksky

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Was in the waiting room for an appointment and the radio station said “only oldies, all the time!” and proceeded to play Weezer and WHADDYA MEAN WEEZER IS OLDIES??? I SAW THEM IN CONCERT JUST THE OTHER DAY IN 2001 AND I AM VERY YOUNG!!!

stop following me, I’m boring

Listen, I get that most books have a typo or two in them, but this is a pretty big oopsie poopsie grammatical error… 😬 #booksky

ugh I am in the slumpiest reading slump 😭 can’t seem to get into anything… I’ve tried multiple genres, lengths, authors… nothing is holding my attention 😭😭😭 help me, #booksky

An appropriate lanyard… 🔥 Happy Friday I guess???

I will never understand people who get on social media and post everything about their lives and feelings… the secondhand embarrassment is real. 😬 Like, get a journal maybe???

Had a nice, long 5 day weekend and I have zero desire to go back to work tomorrow… 😭

Saw a TikTok by someone who created a “single and childfree community of women” and thought “oh that’s cool, I could use that” and then I clicked the link and it’s behind a paywall. How inclusive. 🙄 Anyway, maybe we can create a single and childfree women of #booksky group on discord? 😄

A disappointing 2.5⭐️ It was sorely lacking and read like an overly simplistic YA novel. #booksky Review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Petition to have the “young adult” category encompass all books with MCs under the age of 30. So many “adult fantasy” books are basically YA but with sex scenes. Give me more adult fantasy books with wizened MCs who don’t give a fuck anymore. #booksky

Well, this is what I read in March… a slow month, but all enjoyable. #booksky

Imagine naming a library after someone illiterate.

Tuesday

Finally got an ergonomic keyboard and vertical mouse to save my wrists… welcome to being middle aged, I guess??

lmao BLOCKED 🤣

Truth. Fuck Rowling.

Get a load o’ this fuckin dumbass who felt the need to mansplain how to read a book about psychedelic drug trips. Anyway, off to read a very scientific book without a single thought in my brain because I’m just a girl! #booksky

I just bought 3 shirts that aren’t black or dark gray, someone validate me before I panic-return them

Started both of these today… here’s hoping my attention holds… #booksky

FRIYAY AT LAST Whatcha readin’ this weekend?? I’m not sure what I’m going with… the last few books I started didn’t hold my attention. 😭 #booksky

The number of men whining “but the classics” - bitch, was I talking about the classics? No. I quoted a post about not supporting contemporary authors who are bigoted pieces of shit. Use some context clues, you whiny little ballsacks. Anyway, fuck JK Rowling and her racist, mediocre books. #booksky
