A DELIGHTFUL historical fiction that mixes magic with the Era of Good Feelings. Brilliantly developed characters which puts you in the heart of Boston in 1816. If you love magic this novel should be on your Fall list. #booksky 💙📚 #HocusPocus #historicalfiction #magic @scribnerbooks.bsky.social

If you are willing to dive deep into the fictionalized universe of a traumatized teen/adult like Shuggie Baim or Demon Copperfield this book is for you. So rich and detailed. Low-level anxiety throughout with a protagonist who want to love and shake simultaneously. #booksky 💙📚 #thegoldfinch

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

My kids aren’t great at telling time on a clock and I do think it hurt their math. But one of their classmates also died from COVID…at least I can get them tutors.

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?

You do not get to do the whole "baseball is ruined" thing because the Dodgers gave up two serious prospects, one of whom is 100 years old, for a two-month rental. On this particular thing, your team literally could have done it if they wanted

Before October 2024, the Dodgers were a punchline for always coming up short in October, save for a dismissed-by-many 2020 title. An inch this way or that way last year and they don’t even repeat as champions. Now they’ve supposedly ruined baseball. Dreading The Discourse.

I do want to remind everyone that the Dodgers are our first repeat champions since the 1998-00 Yankees. Between those runs, the following teams won back-to-back titles: 2000-02 Lakers 2004-05 Patriots 2009-10 Lakers 2012-13 Heat 2017-18 Warriors 2022-23 Chiefs

Viola: 1989 Mets were 7 GB & missed the playoffs Cone: big down the stretch, 1995 Yankees needed every game to get in Sabathia: one of the most legendary runs ever & 2008 Brewers ended a 28-year playoff drought by 1 game Lee: great, 2009 Phillies lost in WS Verlander: very good, Astros lost ALCS

For those who don’t know this part of central PA has a lot of immigrant farm workers (apple picking is one major industry for guest workers)…lived in this area for 8 years. This is awful and not surprising...

Fine mystery. But not earth-shattering and although I was suprised by the twist (even though I read it FOR the twist) it was not gasp-worthy and left lots of plot holes. I don’t think I’ve been this misaligned with public opinion since The Kite Runner. #booksky 💙📚 #thriller

At 41-years-old, LeBron James will be the oldest player to play for Philly in Sixers franchise history, passing 40-year-old Rick Mahorn (1999).

What a wonderful surprise! Knew little before opening it and was engrossed. Story unfolds in stops and starts across decades, mesmerizing as pieces fall into place. It’s a darker Frederik Backman-style weaving of character and story. #booksky 💙📚 #historicalfiction @redhenpress.bsky.social

Especially with the Telemundo ratings during the World Cup…

Not a great book but strong enough mystery that it a) kept me reading and b) will have me pick up the final book. Shout out to @libbyapp.com and free audiobooks! #booksky 💙📚 #libraries #youngadult #YA #mystery

Just read this (via @netgalley.bsky.social) on my trip home from Chicago. It’s such a delightfully dark and funny novel. Recommend! #booksky 💙📚

Saw that @tananarivedue.bsky.social posted yesterday so wanted to give my @netgalley.bsky.social review. I live in So. California and let me tell you how engrossed I became in this novel. While reading about a protagonist's struggle in the snow…I got chills. Not “horror” chills - chills chills (1/3)

the World Cup final will be between two teams that Cape Verde played even through 90 minutes
