I just finished 2 5 star reads in a row. The book hangover is real… #booksky

341/400 💙📚🪐📚 📖: Sea Change by Susan Fletcher Genre: Science Fiction, Young Adult Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Thoughts: Little mermaid inspired sci fi! Gene editing gone wrong. Commentary on “othering” of those with differences

340/400 💙📚 🎧📖l: What's Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis by Malcolm Harris Genre: nonfiction Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Thoughts: I trust that the fact I don’t remember this 2 weeks later says more about me than the book

339/400 💙📚 📖l: The Bombshell by Darrow Farr Genre: contemporary, literary Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5 Thoughts: I enjoyed this and related to the main character’s radicalization

338/400 💙📚 📖l: Assembly by Natasha Brown Genre: contemporary, literary Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Thoughts: so powerful for being so short!

337/400 💙📚 📖l: Needy Little Things by Channelle Desamours Genre: speculative fiction, YA Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Thoughts: Fun book with a deep meaning

Nothing says “nobody cares” like leaving a comment I have to hit “more” on 2x.

I just threw together a crockpot meal. It asked for 10 cloves of garlic. I trust the recipe more for that.

Should I finish 1 or more books on this list before starting another? Yes. Will I? Probably not.

336/400 💙📚🪐📚 📖🎧📖: Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb Genre: Fantasy Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5 Thoughts: I appreciate this trilogy more now, but still not as captivating as the Farseers trilogy

334/400 💙📚🪐📚 📖: Hearts of a Vanishing City by Jill N Davies Genre: Dystopian, SciFi Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Thoughts: I loved this prequel better than the Kara Mason series books (that I also loved). Interesting characters and world building. You don’t need to read the others first to appreciate it.

Here’s the thing: Independent bookstores aren’t *just* bookstores. They are pillars of their communities and supporting them means supporting all of the incredible work they do beyond selling books. They’re invaluable. Am*zon is not.

800-day reading streak. I wish I knew the real number, as this is just from when I started using Storygraph. #booksky

(At least for now) I’m raising a musical theatre kid. What’s an easy/meaningful way to help her track which shows she’s seen? (And eventually she’s performed in?) We haven’t kept programs until now, so would prefer something that doesn’t require keeping knick knacks.

There’s a lot going on in the world. At the beginning of the year, I decided on 1 issue I’d devote my limited energy and resources towards. I chose book access (from diverse publishing to libraries). Joining Left Unread has allowed me to do it in community. 💙📚 [reposting w/o the traumatic typo]

I’m only 10 pages in, and already it has me at the heart. I’m right back to being the emotional wreck the Farseers Trilogy left me. #booksky

I just finished this book and just sat there holding it to myself for a bit. So beautiful. I loved it even more than The Very Secret Society for Irregular Witches. The found family felt like it was written just for me. And I’m quoted on the back! 🥹🥹🥹 This is out in July. 📚💙 📚🌎
