⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5 A fun middle-grade graphic novel that not only explores finding your identity & the struggles of growing up, but also shows that always being perfect is just an illusion and that it is okay when life doesn't meet your expectations. 💙📚 #booksky @julioanta.bsky.social

Although I love that people are using the libraries, I wish users would realize that it is ok to try a book that is not on the bestsellers list, part of a celebrity book club or constantly trending on social media.💙📚 #books #blacksky

P.S. It's never too late to become a reader 💓

Please read. This is frightening and infuriating that librarians have to deal with this abuse, just for doing their job. And the fact they ran the list through AI infuriates me more. 🤬 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

Happy ☘️#StPatricksDay☘️! Are you feeling lucky today? Try out that Irish luck by taking a chance on these new and upcoming 2026 titles by Irish authors. A pint of Guinness or a cup of your favorite Irish brew will match perfectly with these reads!⁠ 💙📚 #booksky

The Academy had a chance to do something different and they blew it. 🤬 No matter what the votes say, "Sinners" was the real winner of the show. #sinners #blacksky

OMG! YESSS! Finally! He got one! #blacksky #sinners

Ryan Coogler accepts his first-ever Oscar to a standing ovation “To my parents who are here, thank you for making me believe in myself… Memories are all we have. I hope we give you some great ones.”

The Bronx is a book desert. Yes, there are public libraries but when it comes to getting author events hosted in the Bronx, the struggle is real. That is why it is so important to support the work #TheBronxIsReading is trying to do. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

Congress will vote on the Iran war tomorrow, just in time for the war that started last week

I honestly don’t know why anyone, including the mainstream media, is surprised. You spent the first year of his second term capitulating, never asking him the hard questions, looking in a different direction and now you’re…surprised 💁🏾‍♀️

Netflix is the true winner out of this debacle. They know audiences viewing preferences and Paramount and Warner Bros are trying to hold onto their failing streaming services. But what we have learned from this debacle is that we should start embracing physical media.

There has been a lot of discourse over the latest "Wuthering Heights" adaptation and I thought to jot down my thoughts on my reasons of choosing not to watch the film. You can read it on my blog or on my Substack. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

📖January Book Wrap-Up📖⁠ ⁠ Strong start to the beginning of the new year. A mixture of inspirational and fun reads made the most of my January reading. Also in January, I made the most of borrowing books from the library. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

The Food and Drug Administration has reversed course and will now consider whether to approve a new flu shot from Moderna that uses mRNA technology. The new development comes a week after the FDA rejected the company's initial application, saying its research design was flawed.

Here we go! #56Days

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Another winner by Jumata Emill! I had a hard time putting this one down. It has everything that any mystery lover wants in a story: twists, suspense, and a podcast?! Emill builds an immersive story filled with twists and secrets at every turn of the page. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

A reminder that Wuthering Heights is in the public domain, so if you are looking to read the novel (which I highly recommend to get a better and deeper understanding of the classic), you can read it for free through websites such as Project Gutenberg and LibriVox. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

How do you start diving into the classics? I talk about that and more in this latest post. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

My personal library doesn't only contain murder and mayhem. Sometimes love is in the air. ❤️ Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️ #booksky 💙📚 #blacksky

As we celebrate the day of love, I am taking the time to highlight some books portray toxic and destructive relationships. You might see some familiar ones, including a major one that is released as movie today... cupofteawiththatbookplease.com/destructive-... #booksky 💙📚

Then don't adapt the book if you are complaining that the book is so dense & not going to touch the entirety of the book. That is just laziness & spitting on the grave of original author. Every time I hear Emerald talks, her privilege is highlighted and also doesn't feel like she likes to read. 💙📚

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam
