Reading, writing, and playing FFXIV
We have a Discord community, Baby Got Books, which houses several different book clubs, including Diverse Historical Romance (@lostinabookbrb.bsky.social), Backlog Bookshelf (@thelefthandedkat.bsky.social), and No More Dead White Dudes (@joas-mon.bsky.social).
I am finally watching The Pitt. Episode 2 and it is so good.
Just in case anyone makes the same mistake I did: Any Man by Amber Tamblyn is not a quick read even with its many pages of just one or two lines or poetry and prose. I have had to put this book down to really think about what I read. I'm not even to 100 pages yet.
April pick for Diverse Historical Romance bookclub is Ana Maria and the Fox by Liana De La Rosa!
For the Trans Rights Readathon, I picked Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico to donate to. I really gotta ramp up my reading. I will pledge $5 per books read between now and the 31st regardless if it is a Trans book or not. I will prioritize Trans books for this week. tgrcnm.org

We support transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming communities through direct services, education, and advocacy.

Starting The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy for the Trans Rights Readathon.
I think I'm just not going to read books published by Bloom Books.
I currently have 6 bookclub books to get through this month. As well as the 20+ library books I checked out. Also the books on my physical TBR. .... AND the ebooks I bought from last year and the year before that. AAAAND -
The Diverse Historical Romance bookclub is reading A Crane Among Wolves by June Hur this month. :) It is the first YA we have chosen for the club. If you wish to join us in discussing the book, you can here: discord.gg/nuZyQAt6

Today is the 1-year anniversary of starting my publishing imprint and I need your help. I really want to meet my subscriber goal so that we have the support we need to accomplish more. Please subscribe for just $5/month and help us fight for Black & brown authors. Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com
It is crunch time. I am still 145 subscribers away from the subscriber goal I was trying to reach by TODAY. Please help me get this company to a more sustainable position so we can fight for Black and brown authors more effectively. Just $5 will make a difference. Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com
I keep checking out more books from the library than I can actually read in the given time frame. ... And no one can stop me.
Day 21. I know Black History Month is about looking at what we have already contributed to this country. But I’m asking you to invest just $5 or $12 into what I’m trying to offer to the future. The work we are doing makes a real difference for marginalized authors Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com
Finished Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki. I looked up Bartók's Sonata for solo violin and...I understand the pacing of the book a lot better. Impactful read.
...I just realized I used the phrase "my heart hurts" for the last two books I mentioned. ... But it is true!!!!
I am currently reading Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki. I am on page 51 and my heart hurts for Katrina.
I am unbelievably humbled & appreciative of all the support on my last post and I am absolutely committed to continuing to bring you all diverse book recs this month and beyond. But don’t forget to check out all the amazing black reviewers and content creators here on booksky also! Here’s a start:
Finished the book Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe last night. Great read. My heart hurt for Maia.
AND I FINISHED IT. Day 3 of finishing a book a day!
Chrissy@lostinabookbrb.bsky.social · 2y agoI have finished a book a day for two days in a row. I'm currently reading On the Corner of Hope and Main by Beverly Jenkins. Her Blessings series have traditionally been quick reads for myself. Hoping to finish it today after work!

Trying to finish All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson. If I can do that, I'll be on a two day streak of finishing books.
I finished The Duke's Sister and I by Emma-Claire Sunday! It was the January 2025 pick for the Diverse Historical Romance bookclub... and I finished today. Feb 1st. 👀
February’s pick for my book club (No More Dead White Dudes), is When the stars are scattered by Victoria Jamison and Omar Mohammed. If you’d like to join the club, we are part of a coalition of smaller book clubs that have created a shared discord- Baby Got Books! You can also check out
