“I’ve gained over 120k followers on Bookstagram in less than 6 months and here’s how I did it” *has Harry Potter books DIRECTLY next to their head in the video* *Taylor Jenkins Reid in March Wrap Up* So you did it by not having morals or something? #booksky
I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like “the MC was annoying and immature at times” like…. the MC is 13? News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes. #booksky
Just saw someone pitch their book as “if ACOTAR mated with Handmaid’s Tale, but women are in charge and there were dragons.” And honestly I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that description. #booksky
I get that I’m a just a white girl on the internet but when ppl comment “that’s for the _____ community to decide” WHEN IM LITERALLY JUST RELAYING INFORMATION I HAVE LEARNED FROM THAT SPECIFIC COMMUNITY it really just grinds my gears
After seeing how much fun yall had at SATC, I’m devastated that I don’t have the means to go to BookNetFest :( #booksky
Me: I don’t like this problematic book, and quite frankly it give Republican vibes Comments: How DARE you censor us and tell us what we can and cannot read?!?!? How DARE you judge us it’s a FantASy BoOk! Oh and I AM A LibERaL and my RePUBlicAn friends hate this book! #booksky

Palestinian short story collection of the day. A series of stories exploring the trials, tribulations, joys and dreams of Bedouin women. A gorgeous, short book that has stayed with me long after I read it. #booksky #diversebooksky
📚 21: Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction. Y Joshua Whitehead ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rep: indigenous, queer, 2Spirit, indie pub I have never loved an anthology like I have loved this one! Every story was amazingly written. #booksky
📚20/52: Guns & Scones by Darcia G. Laucerica ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Rep: trans MMC, demi FMC, queer side characters, anxiety, PTSD, Latine & nonbinary author, self-pub book A super cute cozy fantasy book in which magical (sweet) mafia boss Arawn takes baking lessons from the (cute) new baker in town. #booksky
Ngl I kind of regret letting my YouTube content fizzle out. I just find it takes much longer to edit and upload - I had such a hard time fitting it into my schedule :/
As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.
📚19: Dusk Mountain Blues by Deston J. Munden ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rep: Black author Last one before we get into the Trans Rights Readathon reads! A gritty sci-fi about protecting family and land, with heroes not afraid to get their hands dirty. Filled with mutants, guns, magic, and robots. #booksky
When building my @trreadathon.bsky.social TBR I noticed a lack of Trans femme/Trans woman representation in the fantasy books on my lifetime TBR. So I’m looking for Trans femme/Trans woman rep in fantasy or sci-fi books! Please give me your recommendations! #booksky #trr25
📚18/52: Out of the Blue by Jason June ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Rep: nonbinary, Achillean, Sapphic, queer, trans author I read this before the Trans Rights Readathon, but it is written by a trans author! A cute YA rom-com featuring a Mer needing to help a human, fake dating, and teen drama. #booksky
