The image shows a Kindle Paperwhite display featuring the black and grey cover of The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. The Kindle Paperwhite is balanced in a left hand, hold in an L position. The background is a plain white wall with no color or texture. The image is not well light or social media aesthetic.

Starting #TheSpellshop by #SarahBethDurst & wishing I could read more. Thanks @emynemmy.bsky.social for the recc! #BookSky #📚💙

God: “Bet.”

The image shows a black & grey cover of a book by KJ Bradford, titled The Perfect Unicorn. Tagline states “What happens when perfection meets sin?” The image also shows that this novella is part of a series called, “Enchanted Forest.”

I have been struggling with reading, but … hopefully I’m back?! Still working on Assistant to the Villain, and dipped my toes into Magical Innkeeping … but #KJBradford releases this baby soon & I was intrigued. Black characters, fantasy elements, spice?! 👀 I’m in!!! #BlackAuthors #Booksky 📚💙

Reading #AssistantToTheVillain on my Kindle & loving the … slow burn. 🔥 #BookSky

I feel this. I am looking for art on Etsy and I have to scroll like nine pages in to find something made by a HUMAN. Someone said “I want AI to do the dishes so I can do art, not the other way around!”

Super cute! Just favorited a couple. Phone at 1% but def gonna add a print to my cart because it will fit PERFECTLY in my new work cubicle …

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring this author and the stranger she met in 2023, who became one of her best friends over the course of their MSW program.

An appreciation post for my MSW ride or die, @emynemmy.bsky.social on “the other social medias” that she doesn’t have. The accompanying song was Graduation by Vitamin C. ♥️

Me: makes a big monthly TBR 🤔
Me: starts reading that TBR 😎
Me: goes to the library and grabs 10 books instead of reading the books at home 😅

So many Americans are barely keeping their heads above water financially. Maybe covid won’t kill them, but they literally can’t afford to be sick for a week or they can’t pay rent

*adds to TBR based on the cover & your enthusiasm*

Hey! That’s great. I am proud of you. It’s not always easy, but you are showing up for YOU. Have a great day, too!

we need to normalize saying “i don’t know enough to speak on that”, because silence rooted in humility is wiser than noise rooted in ignorance.

The cover of “My Sister, The Serial Killer” by Oyinkan Braithwaite shows a Black woman’s face and upper shoulders. She is wearing a beige head wrap, concealing her hair pulled back into a low bun style. She is also wearing sunglasses that have a reflection image of a silhouetted hand holding a large knife, poised to stab downward. The title and author’s name are in large bright green letters.

💭: Holy. Shit. This has me in an absolute chokehold! Edge of my seat vibes! Try audiobook for correct Nigerian name pronunciation. #booksky #currentread #thrillerbooks #bookish, #bibliophile #bookworm #booklove #bookshelf #reader

This book was … a heartbreak. 😭 Still recovering…

This is ALL my 13 year old wanted for their birthday. We did it. They had a BLAST. And also slept like a drunk old man that night. Just … 😴 OUT.

As a white people who wasn’t here today … 😂😂😂

This. And when white people in the 90s/00s would be like “okay, but why do ‘they’ get their own channel?!” 🤨

End the "fake pocket" in women's wear!!!!

Women like real pockets!!!

Oooh. This is intriguing because I have yet to dive into this author’s Mistborn series that I bought for a buddy read. I definitely appreciate the encouragement!

I don’t qualify for a lot of services people get but I still want them to have it..why would I make people life harder for no reason just because my family doesn’t qualify???

Not british but … I feel the “I’m too pale for this shit.”

The least you can do is support your local library.. get a card for your kids and see what services they have…that is a minimum

Respect new names for popes but throw tantrums over pronouns for neighbors. Got it.

Lil Mama was underrated. They did her wrong. This song STILL slaps.

User holds a Kindle, with a case that looks like an old school diner receipt titled “Guest Check.” It is varying shades of pink with the words “Midnight reading club” sprawled across it. User’s name is printed in cursive in the bottom right corner, “Stormy.”

Grad school is basically over. My internship ends May 15th. I do have to attach appendices to my paper & submit it as a final, but … I’m done. Me & my Kindle are gonna get some *quality time* in before I start my new job. 🙌

I will continue to advocate for supporting libraries..don’t let them close free services to people…

I was def one to show up to class after a quick little passing period throwing some *bink bink* 🤷‍♀️ It solved problems in those days haha.
