February started blah, but it's looking up with a second 5⭐ read! Looking forward to Ashley Poston's next book in June. #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Legendborn has been on my TBR for awhile, but I finally got around to it this month! Such a good story! 5⭐ #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŽ§

House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (narrated by Daniel Henning) is always my first rec when someone asks. I also loved Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan (narrated by her as well).

Final January wrap up! Plus 3 DNF, one of which went back on my TBR since the issue was the format and not the book. On track with all my challenges except Reread 2025 which is in progress! #booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

I read a lot this month (leaned hard into escapism for some unknown reason), so I'm going to start my monthly wrap up early. Only listing 4⭐ and above!

I didn't reread Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and I think that was a mistake. I might actually have to pause Onyx Storm and backtrack, but I'm worried how long the hold would be at the library if I did. #booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

For those trying to break up with Amazon, tell your kids your intention and why. They will be more than happy to call you out for it when you slip.

I honestly did not expect my library hold of Onyx Storm to come through today. Poor planning on my part, I just started another book yesterday. #booksky

I'm canceling my Kindle Unlimited before it renews next month. Any must-reads there I should check out before then? I primarily read contemporary fiction, some romance, fantasy, mystery. #booksky

Super sad that my local indie bookstore isn't open on Mondays. I was just thinking that would be a good way to spend part of my day tomorrow. πŸ’™πŸ“š

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. πŸ“š Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. πŸ™

I'm doing the Buzzword and Buzzword Cover challenges, Book Girls' Book Lovers and ICYMI challenges, and I'm tracking progress towards Bookriot's Read Harder challenge. I don't expect to finish that last one and am considering it a stretch goal. #BookishQOTD #Booksky

I can't do the 20 book challenge because I don't have the attentive span AND because I can't leave it without any kind of explanation. That being said, the book that probably had the biggest impact on me was easily Cheaper by the Dozen, which got me interested in operations research. πŸ“šπŸ’™
