Just started reading Greenteeth by Molly O'Neill, and I don't think I've read anything written from the perspective of a monster before? Loving it so far. #booksky 💙📚🪐

I officially finished Olivie Blake’s Gifted & Talented. So. Much. Angst. It’s quite a tale of sibling rivalry, parental love, and a splash of magic. Full review on Substack. #booksky substack.com/home/post/p-...

I’m halfway through April's book club book, and wow, the drama. I didn't realize how much I needed a heaping of (fictional) sibling rivalry with a sprinkle of magic. #booksky

At the tulip farm this weekend, I spotted a lone red flower standing in a sea of white. I can't decide if plucking it would bring good fortune or a curse. 🌷 #magic

A movie you've watched more than six times. (I'm watching it right now 😂)

Starting the new Olivie Blake book, and it's managed to exceed my expectations without even opening it. #booksky

Maybe instead of fifty-five thousand remakes of already great films we could - and stick with me here - adapt books that haven’t been given an adaptation before. Or write ✨ new ✨ characters and new stories. Imagine that.

Since Meta is currently testing AI versions of us to respond and post on our behalf, it’s time for me to reshare my piece The Influencer about an AI influencer that decides to be free. Hopefully this remains a work of fiction and not a prediction of our new reality. substack.com/home/post/p-...

It’s been a while since I read a fantasy book that successfully pulled me from reality. The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi was a pleasant surprise. I couldn’t put it down, and frankly, I wish it didn’t end. If you’ve read the book, what did you think? #booksky 💙📚🪐

Never seen a hold queue this long before. Anyone read this yet? Is it worth the wait (or purchase)? 💙📚 #booksky

I just discovered the Buddy Reads feature over on Storygraph, and I love being able to share realtime thoughts on a book to connect with other people actively reading it! Very cool feature that tips my favor to storygraph over Goodreads. I guess it's time to officially upload my Goodreads data. 💙📚

Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

2025 has not been great in many ways, but it makes up for it in the quality of books released this year. 💙📚🪐 The ones I will devour as soon as they’re released: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab The Everlasting by Alix Harrow The Web of Time by Flavia Brunetti Any recs?

Gotta love when a reformed pirate dabbled too much with mysterious magic and now has to steal back their ship. 🪐📚💙

Favorite genres: 5. A missing object has all the answers. Let's find it. 4. A cursed person must reluctantly use their power. 3. Wait. My family is witches? 2. A god is having a bad day and must seek revenge. 1. Nothing bad will happen if I step through this door that appeared from nowhere...
