Postman brought some books today. The top two are from Book World Ireland. I was browsing for a tote bag when I came across Books for €2.50. I couldn't resist, especially when one is by @fgcottam.bsky.social The Tom Cox book is from Awesome Books, second hand and cheap as chips. #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Can’t think of a better cyclone read than the cyclonic Chelsea Girls, by Eileen Myles. Often I get frustrated by publishing’s insistence on linear plot-driven narratives, then I read a book like this and my faith in literature is restored. #booksky #litfic #poetry

Hi - this is for all the Arthurian Legend readers out there. I just finished β€œLe Fay” by Sophie Keetch and it emotionally destroyed me. I am broken. Please read it. That’s all. I’ll go back to sitting emotionally in the corner of my couch now. #booksky #bookthreads

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed. - Mahatma Gandhi -

β€œThere are no prizes for completionists.” Thank you. I needed to hear this (again) today. πŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸ–‹οΈ

πŸ“šπŸ’™ Fish out your favourite bookmarks and prepare the tea and biscuits: the first unofficial #IndieBookDay is set to take place on May 1st... because... 'May the first' port of call be an indie πŸ€“ A day to share books, quotes, covers and all other loveliness connected to indie publishers.

Happy Hump Day. #cats #booksky #photography

A moment of respite. Book, Dogwood Tree, and Matcha Cake! And it’s World Book Day! Happy #Worldbookday !!! πŸ“šπŸŒ #booksky #snacksky #matcha #cake #mindfulness

Green Trams are just OP in moving people And this Green Tram in not in Europe or even Asia It is in MELBOURNE, home of the largest urban tram network! And what Auckland missed out on due to failed leadership

Yes!!

Reasons to support an indie bookstore this Saturday for Indie Bookstore Day: 1. Indies support their communities 2. Indies support new authors and small presses 3. Indies don’t accumulate billions of dollars to then buy and control major media in order to further erode democracy

This is right above my office desk!

This really concerns me!🌳🌲🌳 I really love our native trees!

β€œI don’t know” isn’t a euphemism for β€œtoo many,” is it???πŸ˜‰πŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸ–‹οΈ

May is going to be a good month. My friends and I are launching our book blog! It has been something we talked about last year but it's finally coming to reality. I can't wait to read and review books again! #booksky #bookblog #reading #books

TBR! Thanks, Amy in Brazil!

My goal this year is to finish filling the last 2.5 shelves of my bookshelves. And then buy another bookshelf. And turn my spare room into an office/cozy library space. πŸ“š #booksky

Happy Easter!

I spotted some tiny leaves yesterday. Spring is here! 🌱 #dalahorse #spring #alaskasky

Yes, we do!

You can imagine the texture!❀️

Our former editor, Farah Mendlesohn, has written this (sadly) relevant essay for the Seattle Worldcon. seattlein2025.org/2025/04/18/f...

A lovely burst of colour amidst the grey that I must remember to post during #wildflowerhour later.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Proud to make it out to the #HandsOff protest today, #50501movement in Everett WA! Sign says β€œI’d rather be reading, but these clowns are trying to make dystopian fiction a reality”

Current (re)read: #booksky

Clear and true!

β€œAutistic people are important because they exist. Period.” Yes, yes, and yes!
