Still can't decide what books to take on my 11 hour flight to San Francisco! I've got a dozen in mind šŸ¤£ #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™

I just borrowed Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler and bought The Dark Mirror by Samantha Shannon. #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š #BookishQOTD šŸ“–šŸ¦‹

Saw Samantha Shannon in conversation with LR Lam this evening. They were both wonderful as usual , *and* I took a young friend with me, this was his first ever book talk/signing. I love that I got to share that. #BookSky šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™ #FantasyBooks

One of the kids at the book club I facilitate loaned me these books to read. I loaned them some in return! Love being able to share the reading love with young people! #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š #DiverseBooks

I'm reading this with my young adult book club, and I have to admit that I'm struggling a bit. It has all the elements I enjoy but I've been avoiding picking it up and reading. I'm not too sure why. Perhaps it's a me issue rather than a book issue. #BookSky šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™ #DiverseBooks #YongAdultBookClub

Finally made a trip to see the kelpies. I love them! #Scotland

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people. There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

San Francisco book shops! Which ones *must* I visit? #SanFrancisco #BookStore #BookShopping

It's Home Ed Shakespeare Club tomorrow, so I'm gonna bake the kids some heart-shaped cookies because everything is better with cookies!

Spouse and I have begun a little daily tradition we like to call "Evening cheese." I feel the name is self-explanatory. So... time for evening cheese and Octavia E. Butler. #DiverseBooks šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™

I'm working my way through Octavia Butler's books. I want to read ALL of them, right now but also, I don't want to because then it'll be over and I'll never be able to read any of them for the first time ever again. šŸ¤£šŸ˜­ #BookSky šŸŖšŸ’™šŸ“š #DiverseBooks #BookLoverProblems

Spent the morning volunteering at the Anti-Racist Library and now for some lazy Sunday afternoon reading. #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š #DiverseBooks #SupportYourLocalLibrary

I'm taking two long haul flights in March. Trying to decide which books I should pack in my carry on. Any suggestions #BookSky ? I love fantasy, sci fi and horror but will dip my toes in to most genres. #DiverseBooks šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™ #BookSuggestions

In theory, insomnia seems like a prime opportunity to read lots. In practice, I'm too tired to concentrate properly. #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™

Living in the UK means I am now deep into my least favourite game, called "What the hell did Donald Trump say while I was sleeping?" šŸ˜«

Happy Black History Month bookies šŸ’™ #booksky šŸŖšŸ“š #Blackbooksky #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth

Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all. First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones Iā€™m getting to. #booksky

It's Sunday, so it's time for a book and a coffee. This week, I'm reading The Ending Fire by Saara El-Arifi. What are you reading and drinking today (or eating!) today? #BookSky #DiverseBooks #FantasyBooks šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™

I do love a good charity shop find! #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™

Teen book club finished off Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron yesterday, so it's time to move on. Next up: Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender. Really loved Felix Ever After by this author, so my hopes are high. šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™ #BookSky #BookClub #YoungAdultBooks

Library coming through with the goods for me again. I am so excited to read this final instalment of the trilogy. What book are you starting the week off with? #BookSky #DiverseBooks #SupportYourLocalLibrary šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™

New book for my children's book club. I *love* Iron Widow, so I'm hoping this middle grade reader is just as amazing! It's come highly recommended by one of the kids at the club. #BookSky #DiverseBooks #FantasyBooks šŸŖšŸ“ššŸ’™

This evenings reading material. My local library has such a great selection. Sadly, it's closing for a 2year refurbishment at the end of the month. There are others I can use, but I'll miss my favourite librarian giving me coffee recommendations! #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š #DiverseBooks #SupportYourLocalLibrary

Excited for this! #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š
