Picked this up yesterday, absolutely loved it. Scottish writer as well! Would highly recommend it, and it only has 80 pages #booksky

WELCOME TO BLACK HISTORY MONTH

February is Black History Month in the US, Canada and Germany, and LGBT+ History Month in the UK. I’m queer, trans and half Black. You bet I’m going to be insufferably loud this month, because: BLACK PEOPLE ARE GREAT. QUEER PEOPLE ARE GREAT. BIPOC, TRANS, DISABLED PEOPLE ARE ✨ALL✨GREAT.

Diverse books with chronic illness and chronic pain representation! #booksky #disabledsky #chronicillness #chronicpain

That feeling of reading a book as fast as you can to see how it ends, but also not wanting it to be over. 😭 #booksky

It goes without saying but if you see this post, spread it everywhere you can. Plan accordingly and setup your own times and spots among yourselves and announce it using the hashtags. Let’s do our best.

Less than 31% of books translated into English are written by women & only 36% of books translated into English are from non-European countries. Our Women in Translation book club is a monthly feminist fiction gathering, celebrating & exploring translated works by women writers the world over!

Me every other week

Me and my wife went on a 3 day trip and somehow managed to come home with a massive haul of fantasy books.. normally this only happens when we go back to the UK but the books were so cheap and they had such a great selection 🫣

What in the actual fuck is going on in the US 💀 this is crazy

Alright. Round One of trying this "Running a book challenge" thing. Do you write lesbian science fiction and fantasy stories? Please submit it to my 2025 SFF F/F & F/X Reading challenge! This is my first time doing something like this so please be patient with me. forms.office.com/r/BntVBW7B6A

Read books by Black authors all the time - not just in February! Here are some of my favorite books by Black authors that I haven’t really seen on social media… check ‘em out! #booksky

The number of couples kissing in front of this was crazy Beautiful day out at Belvedere, Vienna #art #GustavKlimt

these are some #youngadultbooks that i will never stop recommending #booksky

I’m honestly really proud of myself. I haven’t sat down and read a book in years but I’ve already finished 2 and started on my 3rd. I’m genuinely excited to be reading again. #booksky

Happy Lunar New Year to all my friends who celebrate!! 🐍

30 Million users! Congrats, Bluesky!

I know we're here to talk about books but please, if any germans see this I need to yap about the horrible state of german politics 🤡

I've been pretty quiet about #RebeccaYarros on this account, but since her book #onyxstorm dropped and it's just as bad (if not worse) than the first two, I think it's time to talk about it. Video below is a Scottish creator talking about Yarros' issues. TL;DW: See thread www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2YPek8h/
