Just finished this heartwarming coming of age / road trip book, which I first heard about a couple weeks ago on the literary + genre episode of “What Should I Read Next?” #podcast. modernmrsdarcy.com/472-episode/ #audiobooks #booksky 💙📚

@emilynussbaum.bsky.social have you finished the added material for the Cue the Sun paperback yet? 🫠

Not ads for charter schools and ChatGPT embedded into podcasts I love. 💔

how am i supposed to look nice in 83% humidity. how.

This is one of the wildest, juiciest #memoirs I have ever read. I read Janelle Monae is attached to a possible film adaptation. Another great rec from @bookriot.bsky.social TBR! #truecrime #booksky 💙📚

#BannedBookSkyClub discussion of #TheGirlWhoLovedTomGordon by Stephen King #BookSky I've sent out talking points to start the discussion of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I'll send out more periodically throughout May. To join check the hashtags or pin/like the feed (go to link; click on 3 dots)

I really love witnessing my tween start to develop his own musical taste. He’s still figuring it out, but it’s fascinating to see the songs he lands on along the way. Currently: Mr. Bluesky by ELO, misc French hip hop, and Spanish dance music he hears in MLB The Show.

On my 100th day of consecutive reading, I finished my first Stephen King book, which I enjoyed & might not have picked up if not for #BannedBookSkyClub. Looking forward to the discussion threads this week. Read out of your comfort zone sometimes! #booksky @thestorygraph.com @stephenking.bsky.social

NYC voters, I’m begging you not to rank Adams or Cuomo.

For all the folks saying shedeur is being passed over bc they are wary of an overly involved dad - as an educator, I believe this.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

I don't need any more books right now, but tomorrow I'm going to either buy one from my local independent bookstore, or buy one from bookshop.org to support independent bookstores. #IndependentBookStoreDay #BookSky

I loathe being a person who makes conversation by saying “I’m so tired!” Because it’s basic and boring. However, it’s really true and all I can think about right now, so I’ll say it here and spare anyone I meet in person today.

Facing my fears and reading Stephen King for the first time! Join me in the #BannedBookSkyClub discussion for May! #currentlyreading #Booksky 💙📚⚾️

Finally decided to DNF an acclaimed book I didn’t want to give up on for weeks, and today I feel like a weight has been lifted. Life is too short and there are too many books to waste time on things that are just not for me! There are no prizes for completionists. #booksky

A few years ago, I wouldn’t have believed I would be rooting for the downfall of an EV company.

My 3rd book of #poetry for #poetrymonth! #jamesbaldwin #booksky 💙📚

A delightful after-work wind-down. #currentlyreading #islathewhoodle #mcdoodles #booksky #dogsofbsky

I read Huck Finn for the first time to set myself up for James, which is so far wonderful and has the same narrator as The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store. First time with Sigurd Nunez, and I’m really enjoying it. #currentlyreading #hisfic #litfic #booksky

Nothing justifies a lazy day like an animal deciding to share a chair with you. Everything on my to do list can wait. #islathewhoodle #mcdoodles
