I am a terrible gift-giver. I give them the books I want them to read #BookishQOTD

Should I post my paragraph/full reviews on here? Idk if anyone will read them

You know, I always wondered why Nona was at first part of Alecto. They seemed like completely different stories. Guess I know now

just wanna retire and go live in some quaint seaside town with my cat where i run a little bookstore that sells magical potions and spells that turn idiots into frogs and maybe help solve a local murder every now and then.

It's a good day to be a New Jerseyan.

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law Monday to prohibit public and school libraries from banning books in the state and to enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians who comply with the law.

Apologies for the crap quality, I had to zoom out a ton to not have ten screenshots

131. Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

★★★★★

The only reason I'm not leaving this mortal plane is because I have to read Alecto. Can't have shit in the Nine Houses

I am a map LOVER to the end of my days. I really appreciate when a book has multiple maps, such as the world at large and then a smaller one for where the majority of the story takes place. I love being able to see where each country and location is

“I have too many books”
-judgemental
-boring
-implies impulse-control issues

“The books... they have me.”
- mysterious
- occult
- implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage

Typically, no. I think it’s my literary analysis mind where I’ve mostly been taught that authorial intent matters for nothing compared to what actually occurs in the book. Even as a writer, I don’t want an author’s intent muddying my opinion #BookishQOTD

The Mirror of Beasts by Alexandra Bracken! I enjoyed Silver in the Bone but the second (and final) book blew me away #BookishQOTD

It is complete! Thank you!

I've never heard of Free Food for Millionaires, which makes me super interested, so I'll take that one!

You have amazing taste

Ok so a decently popular author that I think should be taking the world by storm is Tamora Pierce; her feminist (and later queer) stories are top-notch. Lesser known authors would Elana K. Arnold, Kylie Lee Baker, and A. G. Howard #BookishQOTD

Your Top Songs 2024 playlist from Spotify

Give me a number from 1-100 and I'll give you a song! (I can't make any promises for taste lol)

I haven't! Thank you!

I started this thesis to read modern fantasy books, why am I writing about Tolkien and Wagner😭😭

You make one playlist for reading and writing that you listen to for hours and now your wrapped looks like this

I'll take Don't Let the Forest In since it's already on my TBR, and I'll come back for the others if no one else responds!

I did this on twitter first bc it’s where the trend started, but please help me fill the last three!

130. Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn

★★★★★★

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP OH HARROW GIDEON I WOULD LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU SO YOU TWO WOULD STOP FUCKING DYING FOR EACH OTHER bsky.app/profile/wond...

129. The Villain Edit by Laurie Devore

★★★★☆

More contemporary than romance but I loved the main character so I didn’t mind

Literally thought of this animatic as I wrote this (I love you Reinaeiry)
