Prime Day off to a slow start | LinkedIn The retail giant has expanded its unofficial shopping holiday from two days to four, but some shoppers and sellers are exhibiting caution due to tariff uncertainty.

Looks like Prime Day is underperforming. I love to see it! I'm hoping that means book lovers are supporting their local shops this year. Don't forget about sales from @bookshop.org and @libro.fm 📚💙 #diverseBooksky #BlackBooksky #DumpAmazon

Book title is “Things Left Unsaid” by Sara Jafari. Rating at 4.25 stars out of five. The review blurbs for the book say: romantic literary fiction for the person learning to find themselves again, multiple POVs and jumping across timelines to paint a full picture of layered relationships, “you see that person again after so many years since you last spoke and memories come flooding back,” and at once a critique of large scale publishing and a love letter to the work of books.

this book is SLEPT on for being a new release!

It's beautiful and sad and brave and lovely. If you enjoyed Maame by Jessica George, Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar, the writing of Coco Mellors, I think you're in for a treat 📚

looking upward, the pink floral branches of cherry blossom trees are sweetly swaying in the wind of a bright blue sky.

hey so um wow amazing how life feels worth it when the sun is out in the pnw

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like.

And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one.

a white woman in a yellow beanie, black shirt, and fuzzy teal cardigan makes a face like she’s been caught doing something she wasn’t supposed to. she holds four books: the chromatic fantasy, the fall that saved us, motheater, and saffron & honey.

“i’m only going to buy one book”
said the liar to her friend

There is a setting on BlueSky that makes sure you never forget alt-text.

Go to settings - accessibility - always require alt-text.

Many of us won’t like or repost posts without alt-text now. Alt-text helps many people in many ways. I’m not vision impaired but I helps me avoid topics I have muted.

How are we doing too damn much, yet not enough at the same time???

Being human was supposed to be simple. Eat. Fuck. Scavenge. Collect. Bathe. Meditate on existence. Die.

Cthulhu, what the fuck is this?!

loved joining the Always Here Bookstore soft opening last night 🥰

the feminine urge to live out the rest of my days in a spooky coastal town with my cat, drinking coffee, reading books, casting spells. maybe terrorize the local children every now and then.

a white woman in a blue and green floral top with purple pants stands in front of a wall of books taller than she is!

just went to the soft opening of the cutest bookstore in portland and my heart is feeling very FULL !!

I came into this expecting a tongue-in-cheek satire about academia, sexuality, and murky relationships and was really taken away by the layers of sincerity alongside some laugh-out-loud, comedically messy moments !!

A white woman and a yellow beanie smiles into the camera. Around her are book covers for six books: freshwater, art and fear, modern divination, the viral underclass, the do it yourself guide to fighting the big motherfucking sad, and if we were villains. The caption says “how it’s going…”

A young child sits in a 1990s apartment living room in front of a chunky PC and smiles into a film camera. There are six book covers surrounding her: Ella enchanted, protector of the small first test, the secret of platform 13, pendragon, a series of unfortunate events, an heir apparent. The caption says “…How it started“

i really need to find that original set of protector of the small.

OH HAPPY DAY
MY FAVORITE AUTHOR
AHHHH

#booksky #akwaeke #arc

the title does a decent job of this by calling itself a parable for me, but my experience with the book (as someone who also doesn’t believe in a god) focused instead on the necessity of change in a time of extreme danger and what philosophies people turn to while trying to save themselves.

“during covid” may be my least fave thing to see and read and hear bc like wyd? you think it ended? and we’re reading the same headlines? be real.
