October is Substance Use Prevention Month & stories of addiction and recovery remind us that healing is not linear, and that there is no single “right” path to recovery. Representation gives language, visibility, and hope to those who may feel alone in their journey. Here are some recs! #booksky

I don't know why I had to make this, but I had to make this.

Who is building their Fall TBR (despite the weather being nothing like Fall…)? If that’s you and you’re not sure what to add to it, might I suggest…. #booksky

If you are still curating your TBR for Sapphic September and enjoy speculative fiction genres, I have a few suggestions for you… What other books are on your list for this month? #booksky

The @illumicrate.bsky.social 10th Anniversary Farseer Trilogy special edition set is finally here and the ARTWORK has me totally spoiled. Each piece of art detailed a favorite scene or character from this series that literally does not ever leave my mind. I’m obsessed 😍 #booksky

My dream of having a special edition of Black Sun by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social has finally come true, and the in-chapter ARTWORK 😍😍. This series WON A HUGO last week, by the way, for Best Series and it was so incredibly well deserved. I can’t wait to display this whole set on my shelf! #booksky

I was influenced to pick up Tiny Book Shop (a cozy little switch game where you decorate your mobile bookshop & drive around recing & selling books) and now I am addicted 😂 I spent my Sunday playing and listening to The Unbroken by C.L. Clark (which isn’t cozy at all!). How was your Sunday? #booksky

The Fantasy Finishers Bookclub is now reading the Gael Song trilogy! This is an epic historical fantasy series that comes highly recommended in fantasy reader spaces. If this sounds interesting to you, it is not too late to join via the link below! #booksky fable.co/club/the-fan...

When the real world is too loud, I turn to stories that swallow me whole. Here are some of the most immersive SFF series to lose yourself in with rich worlds, fierce characters, high stakes, and the kind of emotional devastation we crave. Are any of these already in your radar? #booksky

My weekend reads: Overgrowth by Mira Grant The Unbroken by C.L. Clark What you all reading this weekend?#booksky

Book mail days are the best days and this stack is full of genre-bending gems! Thank you to @pantheonbooks.bsky.social @htpbooks.bsky.social @htphive.bsky.social and Page Street YA for the review copies! Which should I pick up first? #booksky (Check Alt Text for book description!)

It’s a BIG release week for finales and otherwise magical tales! Whether you’re ready to say goodbye to your favorite fantasy series or dive into a creepy standalone, these new releases deserve a spot on your TBR ASAP #booksky

Girl Lost, please. #booksky

MESSY. TRAGIC. GAY. FANTASY. I’m so in! The Sins on Their Bones by Laura R Samotin kicks off this dark Jewish folklore inspired fantasy duology about two estranged husbands on opposite sides of a civil war & a daring spymaster caught in the crossfire. Thanks PRH Canada! #booksky

Honestly, I think I must read this based on the cover alone…. WOWZA. #booksky

📚✨ June Reading Wrap-Up ✨📚 From epic queer fantasies to emotional tearjerkers, June was packed with powerful reads that made me feel ALL THE THINGS! #booksky

July is Disability Pride Month, and Im spotlighting some incredible scifi, horror, & fantasy books featuring disabled characters across a spectrum of experiences that celebrate resilience, identity, and complexity! PART 2 of 2 #booksky

Hey Kerie, what are some of your favorite fantasy series? Well, this completed, queernormative, indigenous, epic fantasy for starters! The Between Earth & Sky trilogy by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social! Mirrored Heavens now in paperback! Thank you @sagapressbooks.bsky.social! #booksky #sagasayscrew

July is Disability Pride Month, and Im spotlighting some incredible scifi, horror, & fantasy books featuring disabled characters across a spectrum of experiences that celebrate resilience, identity, and complexity! PART 1 of 2 #booksky

Sapphic. Spellbinding. Stunning. The FairyLoot exclusive of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab: 3 women make impossible choices in a world that wants to claim them. Immortality comes with a cost, & these women are done paying quietly. This will be pure magic, inside and out #booksky

They’ll say “it’s just a story” but we are seeing it unfold before our eyes. Governments that rewrite histories, are complicit in cultural erasure, elevate institutions that hoard power, & promote “peace”built on silence. Fiction has ALWAYS been a mirror, sometimes a warning, now its both. #booksky

📚JULY TBR🎧 Per usual, my tbr is stacked with some highly anticipated speculative fiction faves! I’ve got a little bit of everything and even better, almost every one of these is being read with a friend. Happy July friends! #booksky (See alt text for books featured!)

Have you spied the Fairyloot special edition of The Knight and the Moth yet? It’s a completely reimagined cover that is so unique from what’s out there thus far in the release. While I’m not the biggest fan of the lavender coloring, this is still a spectacular looking edition 😍😍 #booksky

I received the BEST book mail this week, a pr package from author @craigmontgomery.bsky.social with the second book in his queer YA space fantasy series, A Sky So Hollow! I read the first book, A Circle of Stars, last year and absolutely DEVOURED it. I can’t wait to dive back in! 🌈🪐💫 #booksky

I had the opportunity to see Rachel Gillig during her The Knight and the Moth book tour and here are SIX takeaways from that conversation that I think fans will want to know… (check comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️) #booksky

📚🏳️‍🌈 We’re tired of bookstore Pride tables that feel like an afterthought, so we made our own. 30 books, curated with love (and taste) by queer readers featuring a wide range of identities, experiences, and genres. #booksky @geengeenreads.bsky.social @chrisbreadin.bsky.social

Overgrowth by Mira Grant. I freaking LOVE this edition from Illumicrate. This a Scifi/Horror Mashup described as a charming but harrowing alien invasion story about what it means to be human with queer & trans rep making it a perfect read for pride month. Has this one made it to your tbr?#booksky

🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE!🏳️‍⚧️ We’re kicking off our annual Pride Fundraiser today, which will keep the library thriving into the next year & beyond 🎉 givebutter.com/Jr8Tfu

Thank you @stmartinspress.bsky.social for dropping this box on my doorstop during Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈! I am so stoked to read this. The L Word released right after I graduated HS and while it might seem out of touch by today’s standards, it was REVOLUTIONARY to me as a newly out 18yrold lesbian. #booksky

Sapphic yearning? Check. Dragons? Obviously. Courtly backstabbing & an alt-history feminist twist on Henry VIII’s six wives? Inject it directly. Six Wild Crows - Holly Race is comped as Priory x House of the Dragon & I could not be more excited to read this. Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social! #booksky

Book Outlet is back on their $5.99 bullshit again, just when we are buckling down on those book buying bans. If you’re like me, you can’t avoid a good deal so here are some 🏳️‍🌈PRIDE MONTH🏳️‍🌈 approved options. And use my referral code for $5 off your first order! #booksky bookoutlet.com/loyalty/refe...

I was driving behind this car this morning and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so seen 😅. We all just out here tryin our best, ya know? It’s a tough crowd out there. Happy Friday, friends!

This month's TBR is a combination of carry overs from May, buddy reads, book club reads, and arcs. Unsurprisingly though, despite not being chosen intentionally, a vast majority include queer representation and voices. Happy Reading! What are you reading this pride month? #booksky

Happy Pub Day to A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde! It’s an epic, queer-norm, expansive fantasy with PTSD rep, rooted in ancestral magic & buried truths If you loved The Final Strife or Black Sun, you dont want to miss this! I’m 80% in already know it’s 5⭐️ @sagapressbooks.bsky.social #booksky

It is Pride Month & the Prideopoly Challenge 2025 is officially live! I teamed up with @becklovesbooks.bsky.social to bring you book recs for every square on the board, and yes, we’re going EXPERT MODE. Wanna play? Check out the details at the link below! prideopoly.carrd.co #booksky

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month🏳️‍🌈, friends! It is queer books all day every day over here, but why not start Pride Month off with a 🌈 rainbow 🌈 of recs to help build those June TBRs. {Check out the comments for the full rainbow!} What books are YOU looking forward to reading this month? #booksky

If you know me, you know I am OBSESSED. My love for the Ending Fire trilogy, its characters, and Saara’s writing in general is UNMATCHED. So when I saw @Illumicrate ✨ chose this series for one of their 10th Anniversary Editions, I NEEDED it. Now off to make a “Saara Shelf” for my collection #booksky

There, I fixed it. But true though… #booksky

The Phoenix Hoard final installment is here! It’s our last ride with Emiko, her swords, and her crew (including of course, Bao). I love Emiko and this series & can’t wait to dive in! Thank you @kenbebelle.bsky.social & @juliavee.bsky.social. It’s been a honor to be on your arc team! #booksky

How about some SFF Book Recommendations for Mental Health Awareness Month because Mental Health representation matters, and sometimes it is within the most fantastical of pages that we feel the most understood! What are some of your favorite books with MH rep? #booksky

311/400 💙📚🪐📚🌈📚 📖: Circle of Stars by Craig Montgomery Genre: Science Fiction, Queer Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5 Thoughts: I love the premise of a queer youth being taken to another planet where he has special powers. And while that society definitely has its own issues, homophobia is not one of them.

I have a confession to make: me, a sapphic booktoker was afraid to read one of the books in the “sapphic trifecta” 🤣. She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker Chan. But I had nothing to be afraid of. This book was such an amazing, brutal, story full of war, revenge, and longing. #booksky

Some of my absolute favorite books are written by AAPI authors but these are my most underhyped FAVES! Are any of these on your tbr radar? They should be! Bonus points - ALL of these have queer characters and many of them center queer people. Win Win! #booksky

I read The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig as an arc & had a good time with it! It isn’t my favorite book of Chuck’s but I love the gritty way he writes characters and situations - it always resonates as truth to me. @illumicrate.bsky.social did an amazing job aligning art with story #booksky

Is it hot in here or is that just sapphic romantasy page overlays for Faebound by Saara El-Arifi? This is the German edition, I believe, but this artwork needs no translation! 🥵🔥🥵🔥 #booksky

SFF Mommies to Celebrate Mothers Day Amina, Tunuva & Esbar, Essun, and Sidra. These amazing moms just so happen to be some of my favorite characters, period. The fact that they are moms and many are between the age of 30-50 is a PLUS. These moms would do whatever it takes for their babies! #booksky

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson is definitely in the running to be my fave book of 2025 & I was thrilled to know that Illumicrate was doing an SE of it. I love everything about this, & feel like it upheld the vibe so well with its illustrations. That endpaper art of Neema is EXQUISITE. #booksky

May TBR Time! I may have slightly overcommitted to my bookclub and buddy reads but who are we if we aren’t delulu with our TBRs?! I think we established this last month. Either way, I’m stoked to have so many awesome sounding books on deck! What’s your most anticipated read for May? #booksky

My reading for April was definitely quality over quantity, but honestly, that’s how it should be. In total I read 5 books, finished 4, and rated 3 of them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Not too shabby! #booksky (read but not finished: Assassin’s Quest. He thiiicc)

I knew I’d like Hamajang Luck by @makana-yama.bsky.social but I didn’t know I would LOVE it as much as I did. This was such a fun ride!! Like if Oceans 8 was set in space but entirely queer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have you read this one yet? #booksky
