bookselling is the fine art of actively listening to a complete stranger and trying to provide them with something life-changing that they didn’t even know existed but sometimes it’s just saying “hell yeah”

My introduction to #booksky I guess? 📚 Reading is political 🎧 Audiobooks count as reading 📖 Reading is not a competition 🤔 Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive 👉 If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it 🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off
