On Sundays She Picks Flowers is a gruesome tale of intergenerational trauma that was brimming with as much trueness as surreality. It demands a deeper lens and a willingness to look beneath the horror to what lies underneath. What I found there will be with me for quite some time. #booksky

I love the feeling that comes with setting priorities for the new year. Endless potential and excitement for what is to come! With that, here are just a handful of my priority reads for this year. Every time I look at this list I get excited. What is topping your 2026 reading list? #booksky

The Fantasy Finishers club on Fable is now voting for its next beloved, completed fantasy series to pull from the shelf in 2026! If you want to read any of these series next year, join us and vote via the link below! Poll is open for 48 hours! fable.co/club/the-fan... #booksky

Starting today the Fantasy Finisher’s book club will switch over to Realm of Ash by Tasha Suri! We read Empire of Sand in the month of November and collectively loved it! Can’t wait to dive in the last installment in this duology. Find us on fable via the link in my bio! #booksky

Six Wild Crowns by Holly Race is the sapphic, feminist fantasy retelling that I never knew I needed! I am honestly surprised, despite a decades long obsession with the Tudor era, how much I’m loving this spin on it. What are you all reading this weekend? #booksky

What is the ONE BOOK that if you see it in the background on someone’s shelf, you will immediately follow them? Mine is A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde. It signals a love of diverse epic fantasy, queernorm worlds, & championing debut authors; to me that means…instant book besties!!! #booksky

A bit of a mixed bag for October but such a good trade off for two 5 star reads: ✨The Land of the Living and the Dead (phenomenal series overall) and ✨Bloodtide by Sophie Burnham (the most underhyped series to exist) What was your top read in the month of October? #booksky

Queernorm stories build worlds where queerness exists w/out explanation or judgment, where identity doesn’t have to be defended to be real. Even when queer characters aren’t at the center, the absence of prejudice reshapes the story itself, and that is powerful. Here’s my underrated faves! #booksky

I never understand these trends, but honestly this a pretty good sampling of my bookish taste! I’ve read and enjoyed each and every one of the books in this palette. Would you be able to complete a full palette of your favorite reads? What would go on it first? #booksky

“In times of uncertainty we can dig deep into the dark feminine and, like the Hindu goddess Durga, arm ourselves with many weapons to provide protection for ourselves or others.” Tales of the Dark Feminine by V. Castro is a beautifully illustrated compilation of powerful female legends. #booksky

I love the feeling of getting what feels like a personalized recommendation by a bookish friend and The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World by JR Dawson is one of those books. It is a queer contemporary fantasy about life, loss, and family and I’ve been warned to have the tissues handy! #booksky

The FOMO finally got me and I subscribed to @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social. My first pick was Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei; described as part eco-thriller, part sisterhood epic with dystopian elements. I’m super excited to dive in! Thanks Aardvark! I look forward to seeing next months picks! #booksky

The Fantasy Finishers Book Club on Fable (where we read completed SFF series) is voting now for our next series to read in Nov/Dec from one of the four duologies/interconnected standalone shown below. Do any of these catch your eye? If so, join us! fable.co/club/the-fan... #booksky

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
