I normally struggle to read books that are longer than 15 hours but not with the Legendborn series. These books are LONG but for a REASON. Each book has a good pace, it’s a balanced mix of plot and romance, and it never FEELS like a 20+ hour read. Tracy Deonn cracked the code for long books.

god Selwyn Kane has to be one of my favorite book characters of all time I LOVE THAT MAN UGHHH 😭😭😭😭 #legendborn #bloodmarked

Epic is making me want to read the Odyssey but I’m afraid I am simply too stupid to understand the Odyssey

As someone on booktok/booktube I refuse to review anything written by Sarah J. Maas or Rebecca Yarros. Would it be easy money? Yes. But SJM used the tragic murder of Breonna Taylor to promote her books and RY is a zionist. No amount of money is worth platforming those people.

Just uploaded a new video to my channel all about infamous white authors who posed as POCs ⬇️ youtu.be/0qg7hHpbxRw?...

Just cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription 🎉🎉 totally unrelated but did you guys know that a Prime membership costs the same as a @libro.fm subscription 👀 Can’t wait to start listening to my new audiobooks 🤭

I’m slowly realizing that any book I’ve ever read is in some way inspired by Greek myths/history. Why, after over a DECADE, did I find out JUST NOW that The Hunger Games follows the story of Theseus and the Minotaur 😃 I just have to read more Greek literature starting with The Odyssey 😌

Did The Hunger Games copy the iconic Japanese novel Battle Royale? Here’s my deep dive on all the similarities and differences between these books: ⬇️ youtu.be/mxBb6qLfnjo?...

I got 5 hours of sleep and I’m currently drinking a dirty iced chai spiked with cold brew BUT a new video will be going up on my channel today 🤗 be sure to tune in at 1pm CST #booksky #thehungergames

I’m editing a video for The Hunger Games and Battle Royale and I think I’m just gonna have to bite the YouTube censorship bullet. I can’t possibly censor every time I say “death”/“died”/“killed” when these books are exclusively about those topics 😪

Currently reading This Ends in Embers by Kamilah Cole Not gonna lie I absolutely HATED how the first book ended but I’ve decided to reserve my opinions until I finish the duology. I refuse to go down without a fight I need to like this book 😭

Just found out my library has both Fahrenheit 451 AND George Orwell’s 1984 in Spanish time to radicalize my grandma

I love The Hunger Games but listening to the audiobook and hearing them pronounce Petra’s last name the same way as MELON (MEL-lark instead of Mel-LARK) just dulled the glamor a bit 😖 #booksky

Luigi Mangione had an extensive goodreads list with books like Delay, Deny, Defend that EXPOSED corruption and corporate greed. To organize and act you need to KNOW who the real enemy is. LEARN the cycle of tyranny. Reading is not only resistance but a call to action.
