reading updates:
- finished olivie blake’s “one for my enemy” (4.5 ⭐️) & oh my god i loved it so much!
- started “lady macbeth” by ava reid & it’s still early on but it’s def at a slower pace rn
- hoping to solidify a february hopefuls list soon!
lowkey forgot i had this app but hi! it’s been a crazy busy week for me with work & also seeing zayn perform on tour & being exhausted on a daily basis but i’ve also somehow been reading too 😅
maybe this is the year i finally post my writing on my substack that i’ve had for years lol
me too, never even read the first one to begin with so i’m chilling
that’s crazy…god we are truly in a dystopia
i like it here on #booksky it makes me feel like i’m on the bird app circa 2010 🥹
Apologies for getting a bit political on main tonight.
I think this cartoon sums it up.
Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩
Thanks for stopping by 💃
Today and in the coming days, remember
on my tbr…is it a slow start?
all the #BookTok slander I’ve been seeing the past few days by other bookish communities is quite frustrating ngl. While yes, the most popular side of BookTok definitely has its issues, the side I was on always recommended diverse books and championed marginalized authors. #diversebooks
i love pablo neruda as well! some of mine are mary oliver, f.s yousaf, mahmoud darwish, mosab abu toha, & lang leav
the vibe i bring to the function :)))
#booksky
ah, that does shed some light - it’s kind of how i feel about authors who haven’t shared a single thought on that whole ordeal (like emily henry) so i can see the influx of posts today 😭
i watched it in theaters and my eyes were GLUED to the big screen i swear it was so good
SO cute i love it
i don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum but i guess i didn’t expect to see SO many damn posts and stories about it, i might have to do a following cleanse on ig soon 💀
i know a ceasefire was issued but come on lmao this doesn’t change what happened in the last 15 months, am i missing something?!
the amount of people I have seen promote onyx storm today on bookstagram…i don’t understand, isn’t rebecca yarros a known zi0nist?! like it’s fine if you wanna read it because you enjoy the series or whatever but to blatantly promote it knowing that is insane me thinks
booktok’s back baby but also like idk how to truly feel lol
whoa the surge in followers here…i’m taken aback but ty 😭🫶🏽
There are book people everywhere. Libraries are used everywhere. Some places are especially bookish (I love you Cambridge MA) but that doesn't mean bookish people don't exist elsewhere. Maybe we're just being quieter while reading.
fascist governments ban apps
rip tiktok rly gone (for now) my shaylaaaaaaaa
some recent poetry reads of mine! great writing, vulnerability all over the pages, & the beauty of one’s identity immensely present in both 🩶
ameeeennnnn!
solid haul 🤭
i’m just so frustrated over tiktok being banned, like it really created such a wonderful user friendly + engagement ridden digital bookish space! ugh it don’t hit the same anywhere else :/
i think i’m gonna stick to reels (yuck) because it’s the closest in format to booktok vids & youtube feels too….vast? for me at least 😩
