anywayyyyyy support a Jewish book creator by following me on Bindery (for free)! maybe we can publish books someday. and along the way, it’s a lovely community with a book club, readathons, and more. ⬇️

at this rate mein kampf is about to start showing up on bookstagram rec tables because what do you mean ANOTHER bookstagrammer included it in ANOTHER aesthetic photo post? 😭

this was a deeply emotional read that i want to place in everyone’s hands right now. 📚 books mentioned: - Detained: A Boy’s Story of Survival and Resilience by D. Esperanza and Gerardo Iván Morales thank you to Atria/Primero Sueño Press for gifting me this copy. #booksky

🌲 i’m always delighted to see a really big tree, what can i say?? but seriously, this was a touching story involving love, loss, and nature. thank you so much to Redwood & Relay Influence for inviting me! 🎭 show mentioned: Redwood #redwoodmusical #booksky

the joy that screaming about this series gives me is unmatched tbh N.K. Jemisin deserves all the praise, always #Booksky

bookish brand trip - the sequel?! everyone’s asking for more shelves and the city vlogs, so i’m here to deliver! come along with me to LA for a wildly fun weekend with 115 book creators. (also pls watch bc it took me 15 years to edit & then exporting failed 3 TIMES) youtu.be/594LI-JqI0w #Booksky

Happy day one of the #transrightsreadathon!!

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO! i thought you were all maybe a little sick of hearing trans book recs from me … so i asked the bookish community! thank you SO much to the wonderful creators who helped fill this video with books to help us all prep for the 2025 @trreadathon.bsky.social! youtu.be/AJILpnexf10

I’ve read a handful of these already, and will probably read Model Home during this year’s readathon! #TRR25 #transrightsreadathon #booksky

i’m clearly still figuring out the youtube algorithm, because somehow this has attracted some hateful folks. i’m blocking and deleting as i see so others don’t have to view anything cruel. we will never shut up about queer books!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌈

looking for trans & nonbinary book recs for the 2025 trans rights readathon? 🏳️‍⚧️ i’ve got you covered with my latest youtube video - i chatted about some of my all-time favorite trans books for 40 minutes! don’t forget to sign up for the @trreadathon.bsky.social! #Booksky youtu.be/ZcxqDWcMSGg

looking forward to #TRR2025!

announcing the Celestial spring book club picks! the voting is always so tight (but that’s just because the choices are SO good. fire nominations every single time). i’d love to have you join our book club & reading community. and our February book (starting today) is Mexican Gothic!! #Booksky

I’m honored to be featured in Lauren Puckett-Pope’s latest ELLE piece alongside 20 fellow bookish content creators & friends. SO fascinating to read about everyone’s reflections & predictions for 2025! #booksky www.elle.com/culture/book...
