Librarian's Husband's Book Club

A digital graphic celebrating "Mario Day" on a billboard. The image features a bright blue sky with a tall billboard in the center. Above the billboard, large black text reads, "HAPPY MAR 10 MARIO DAY." The billboard itself displays a scene designed to look like a level from the original Super Mario Bros. video game, including: * A pixelated blue background. * Pixelated clouds and bushes. * A green warp pipe on the left and a red brick castle on the right. * The ground is made of classic red-brown bricks. * Large pixelated text in the center of the billboard reads, "HAVE A SUPER MAR 10." The text "MAR 10" is stylized so that it resembles the name "MARIO." Small gray text below the billboard reads, "The Ultimate '80s Page."

I just realized its Mario Day! 30 mins left for those that celebrate 🥳

Promotional graphic for the Librarian's Husband's Book Club. The background is a textured gradient of purple and blue. Top text: 'Monday Question of the Week'. Center text: 'Which 20th-century American classic feels like it was written for 2026?'. Bottom text: 'THE LIBRARIAN'S HUSBAND'S BOOK CLUB' followed by the link 'HTTPS://66AV.SHORT.GY/LHBC'. A circular logo for the club is in the bottom right corner.

We often call them "classics" because they’re old, but the best ones feel brand new.

Looking at the landscape of 2026, which 20th-century American novel feels the most prophetic or relevant right now? #BookSky 💙📚 #TLSky

A book cover with a vibrant red, wood-grain textured background. The title "THE LIBRARIANS" is written in large, black, sans-serif capital letters in the center. Above the title, in small white text, it reads "ONLY QUIET MURDERS ALLOWED." The author's name, "SHERRY THOMAS," appears at the bottom in large white letters. The central graphic features the black barrel of a gun at the bottom right; a thin trail of white smoke rises from the muzzle, curving upward to form the elegant silhouette of a person’s face in profile.

A book cover with a bright yellow border and a central graphic of a light-blue building divided into four cross-sectioned rooms. Top left room: A silhouette of a person behind bars. Top right room: A bloody knife hovering over a cardboard box. Bottom left room: A small child standing under a red spotlight. Bottom right room: A black door next to three Japanese scrolls. The title "STRANGE BUILDINGS" is centered in bold black letters, followed by the tagline "ELEVEN BUILDINGS. ONE TERRIBLE SECRET." Red blood drips from the bottom of the building graphic onto the yellow background. The author’s name, "UKETSU," is printed in large black letters at the bottom alongside Japanese characters.

Dividing my weekend between two very different puzzles. I’ve got the "found family" mystery vibes of The Librarians by @sherrythomas.com paired with the unsettling architectural secrets of Uketsu’s Strange Buildings. Suburban drama meets structural nightmares.

Book cover for "The Hard Parts: A Memoir of Courage and Triumph" by Oksana Masters. The image features a full-body photograph of Oksana Masters standing on a snowy, paved road that stretches into a misty, white landscape. She is smiling, wearing a black puffer jacket and athletic leggings that reveal her prosthetic legs. The author's name, "Oksana Masters," is printed at the top in elegant gold lettering, while the title "The Hard Parts" is in large white serif font at the bottom. A gold circular seal in the center contains the subtitle.

The #Paralympics start tomorrow. If you want to understand the grit behind the gold, read The Hard Parts by Oksana Masters. It’s a masterclass in the pursuit of autonomy. 🏅 #OksanaMasters #BookSky 💙📚

A hand holding a paperback copy of the novel "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. The book is the Steinbeck Centennial Edition published by Penguin, featuring an illustration of a large, gnarled tree branch in green and black ink against a cream-colored background. In the blurred background, several bookshelves are visible on a carpeted floor.

Tonight is Page 1 of East of Eden, a Librarians Husbands Book Club pick for March. It’s a heavyweight in every sense of the word, and I’m looking forward to finally getting into the thick of it. #BookSky 💙📚

Two steampunk-style rabbits sitting on a cobblestone path. Both rabbits are outfitted with brass-colored goggles and complex mechanical harnesses featuring gears, tubes, and valves. In the background, a vintage street lamp glows with a warm light in front of a blurred, European-style stone building.

Rabbit Rabbit. 🐇⚙️🐇

Let’s see where the gears take us this month.

An e-reader displaying the cover of a book titled "Strange Buildings" by Uketsu. The screen shows an "Advance Reader's E-Proof" and describes the book as "The Chilling Japanese Mystery Sensation." The e-reader is standing on a dark wooden surface next to a tall glass of amber-colored beer. In the soft-focus background, there is a wood-paneled wall with chalkboard signs listing brewery offerings.

The best way to reset? A brewery visit with a Kindle in hand. Getting through Strange Buildings by Uketsu tonight. If you haven’t checked out this Japanese mystery sensation yet, put it on your radar. #BookSky 💙📚

A book cover for the legal thriller "Worse Than a Lie" by Ben Crump. The background is a dramatic orange and purple sunset over a dark, silhouetted city skyline. In the foreground, a man in a dark suit is seen from behind, walking toward the horizon. The title is displayed in large, white, serif capital letters across the top.

The book cover for the memoir "Educated" by Tara Westover. The design is minimalist, featuring a large, vertical illustration of a yellow pencil in the center. The tip of the pencil is sharpened to show a jagged, mountain-like silhouette of a snowy peak against a dark background. The title "Educated" is written in black serif font across the middle of the pencil, with the author’s name below it.

Toggling between legal thrillers and personal triumphs this weekend. @attorneybencrump.bsky.social's Worse Than a Lie and @tarawestover.bsky.social’s Educated offer two gripping, yet distinct, perspectives on what it means to fight for the truth.

A digital flyer with a purple and blue gradient background. Top left text reads "Monday Question of the Week." Top right features a brown heart icon labeled "Black History Month Edition." The center contains the prompt: "Which book have you read that introduced you to a 'hidden' figure, a local story, or a perspective on Black history that you hadn't encountered before?" A circular stamp logo for "The Librarian's Husband's Book Club" is in the bottom right. The website 66av.short.gy/LHBC is listed at the bottom.

Black history is vast, deep, and often tucked away in the pages of "hidden" stories.

What book shifted your perspective or taught you a piece of history you never knew? #BookSky 💙📚

Sorry. I'm listening to the Canadian Crash Test Dummies and their signature baritone melancholy vibe out of respect and condolence.

Checking in on Canadian friends...you ok? #olympics #hockey

Nothing wrong with that 😀

A minimalist illustration on a textured light green background featuring a visual equation for a "Perfect Weekend." The equation shows an illustration of a man running on a treadmill, plus a soft-boiled egg, plus a shelf of colorful books, equaling a pink heart. Below the icons, the text reads "Perfect Weekend." In the bottom right corner, there is a circular black stamp logo that says "Librarian's Husband's Book Club."

I've been to the gym, had breakfast---let the reading begin! What are you reading today? #BookSky 💙📚

A bold, graphic book cover for "Operation Bounce House" by Matt Dinniman, featuring an orange, black, and white color scheme. A man in yellow-tinted sunglasses holds a pitchfork in front of a house that is being engulfed in stylized orange flames. Two mechanical, robotic figures with red-glowing eyes stand on the roof. The author's name and title are written in massive, high-contrast block lettering against a starry black background at the top.

A book cover for "Worse Than a Lie" by Ben Crump, part of the Beau Lee Cooper novel series. The background features a dramatic sunset with deep orange and purple clouds over a city skyline silhouette. In the foreground, a man in a dark suit is walking away from the viewer toward the horizon. The title "Worse Than a Lie" is written in very large, white, serif capital letters that span the width of the cover.

Operation Bounce House and Worse Than a Lie are my picks for the weekend! Alternating between Matt Dinniman’s wild imagination and Ben Crump’s thriller. Happy reading, everyone!

​A close-up, slightly angled shot of a Kindle e-reader held in a person's hand at a dimly lit bar or brewery. The Kindle displays the cover of the book Worse Than a Lie by Ben Crump, a "Beau Lee Cooper Novel." Next to the Kindle sits a tall glass of hazy, amber-colored craft beer. In the background, out of focus, other patrons sit at a blue bar counter beneath a wooden wall featuring a "Tap List" with various beer names written on chalkboard signs.

A cold pour, a quiet corner, and a thriller that you can't put down. Diving into Worse Than a Lie by Ben Crump tonight. If the plot is as smooth as this beer, I’m in for a long night of “just one more chapter.” #BookSky 💙📚

A person’s hand holds a copy of the memoir "The Hard Parts" by Oksana Masters. The book cover features a photo of Masters, a blonde woman in a black Nike athletic jacket and leggings, smiling against a blurred, snowy outdoor background. The title "The Hard Parts" is printed in large white serif font at the bottom, and her name is in gold at the top. A yellow circle on the cover contains the subtitle: "A Memoir of Courage and Triumph."

Olympics wrapping up, Paralympics coming up, read Oksana Masters’ "The Hard Parts."

It’s a powerful story of reclaiming autonomy. Most of us take control for granted, but for Masters, moving her own life forward is a hard-won victory. Incredible read! #BookSky 💙📚

Book cover for "Untouchable," a novella by Jeffery Deaver. The cover features a black background with large red text at the top for the author's name and at the bottom for the title. In the center, a microphone sits on a blue table, positioned in front of a glowing orange and yellow soundwave graphic. "New York Times Bestselling Author" and "Amazon Original Stories" are also featured in white text.

UNTTOUCHABLE by Jeffery Deaver is out today, and it’s a sharp, fast-moving Constant Marlowe novella that feels way too timely. College football, online outrage, & weaponized mobs. I’ll read anything Deaver writes, and this one reminded me why. #BookSky 💙📚

A graphic for "The Librarian's Husband's Book Club" featuring a purple-to-blue gradient background. The top text reads "Monday Question of the Week: Dungeon Crawler Carl Edition." The main question in the center asks, "If your pet suddenly gained the ability to talk and became as smart as a human, what is the first secret they would reveal about you to the world?" The image includes the book cover for Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman in the top right corner. In the bottom left, there is a circular gold seal featuring a Persian cat wearing a crown, labeled "The Royal Court: Princess Donut." The bottom right features a circular "Book Club" stamp. A URL for the book club is listed at the bottom center.

Even if you haven't entered the dungeon yet, you can play along!

In Dungeon Crawler Carl, Princess Donut, a cat, becomes a famous, talking superstar. If your pet could suddenly talk, what’s the first thing they’d reveal about you? #BookSky 💙📚 #DungeonCrawlerCarl #PrincessDonut

Book cover for "The Gate of the Feral Gods (Dungeon Crawler Carl Book IV)" by Matt Dinniman. The illustration is chaotic and surreal, showing a man in his underwear (white with red hearts), a leather vest, and a bandana mask, falling through a blue sky with his arms outstretched. A fluffy cat wearing a tiara and sunglasses floats nearby. In the background, a massive, grotesque stone-like deity with multiple faces and glowing eyes looms over the scene. A small, vintage biplane flies through the middle ground, adding to the bizarre, high-action atmosphere. The title is written in large, distressed yellow font.

The image features a full-body photograph of Oksana Masters standing on a snowy, paved road that stretches into a misty, white landscape. She is smiling, wearing a black puffer jacket and athletic leggings that reveal her prosthetic legs. The author's name, "Oksana Masters," is printed at the top in elegant gold lettering, while the title "The Hard Parts" is in large white serif font at the bottom. A gold circular seal in the center contains the subtitle.

My weekend reading list is a tale of two extremes.

The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman & The Hard Parts by Oksana Masters.

Total absurdity meets total tenacity. One is a wild escape into an intergalactic dungeon, and the other is a powerful anchor in human resilience.

Just to close the loop.....everything, indeed, was not fine. #booksky

Book cover for "Cold Zero" by Brad Thor and Ward Larsen. The top of the cover features Brad Thor’s name in large, prominent lettering, followed by Ward Larsen’s name. The title "COLD ZERO" is centered in a bold, rugged font that suggests high-stakes action. The background features a stark, cinematic depiction of the Arctic: a vast expanse of jagged, white and blue ice under a cold, overcast sky. A small, distant silhouette of a crashed airliner is visible on the ice, with a lone figure or a small group of figures moving through the frozen wasteland toward the foreground, conveying a sense of isolation and survival.

Some thrillers turn up the heat.
Cold Zero by Brad Thor and Ward Larsen turns it way, way down ❄️
A sabotaged flight, rival superpowers, and a race across the Arctic ice that feels uncomfortably plausible. Out today. Great read! #BookSky 💙📚

Book cover for "Antihero" by Gregg Hurwitz. The top half features the author's name in large, lime-green capital letters against a twilight sky of deep blues and vibrant pinks. Below, the title "ANTIHERO" is written in bold white letters, followed by the subtitle "An Orphan X Novel." The bottom third of the image shows a silhouette of a man standing at the top of a stone staircase, looking out toward a city skyline under a sunset. The perspective is from the bottom of the stairs, looking upward between two dark, urban walls with green metal railings.

Pub day for Antihero by Gregg Hurwitz (Gregg Hurwitz)! It might be the most human thriller I’ve read in a while. Evan Smoak is forced to pursue justice w/o a body count, & the tension it creates is relentless. Fast, smart, & surprisingly reflective. It's a great read. #BookSky 💙📚

A graphic with a textured purple-to-blue gradient background titled "Monday Question of the Week." The main text asks: "Do you have your next five books already lined up on a shelf, or do you wander through a bookstore/library and wait for a book to 'speak' to you that day?" At the bottom, the text reads "THE LIBRARIAN'S HUSBAND'S BOOK CLUB" followed by the URL https://66av.short.gy/LHBC. In the bottom right corner, there is a circular black stamp logo that says "BOOK CLUB" around the border with "Librarian's Husband's" written in cursive in the center.

There are two types of readers: those who have their literary life mapped out for the next six months, and those who wait for a spine to "speak" to them in the stacks. Are you a mood reader or a planner? #BookSky 💙📚

An action-adventure book cover for "The Gate of the Feral Gods" by Matt Dinniman, Book IV of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. The scene shows Carl, wearing a bandana mask and heart-patterned boxers, falling through a blue sky alongside a fluffy cat wearing sunglasses and a crown. In the background, a massive, multi-faced stone colossus looms while a vintage biplane flies nearby. The title is written in large, distressed yellow block letters.

A vibrant pink book cover for the novel "Dollface" by Lindy Ryan. The design features a stylized, minimalist illustration of a woman's face with heavy black eyelashes, purple eyeshadow, and dark red lips. A single thin drip of dark liquid, resembling blood, runs down the center of the forehead. The title "Dollface" is written in a bold, retro white font with a dark shadow.

The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman and Dollface by Lindy Ryan. Going from dungeon crawling mayhem to an unsettling, neon-pink slasher.
