Sticky Note Book Recs

On a black background, the text “Your Next Great Read with Hanna Herron and J Hall” and the Okie Bookcast logo, along with a small picture of me with headphones on, and the text below my picture that says “with special guest Melissa Coast”. There is also a stock photo of a stack of books on one side of the image that serves as a background.

Check out February’s episode of Okie Bookcast’s Your Next Great Read, where I have the honor of chatting w/ J and Hannah about what we’ve all been reading lately! (link is in my bio!)
There is something for everyone, we cover a LOT of genres in one episode! #okiebookcast #stickynotebookrecs #booksky

The cover of the book Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel, which features a black silhouette of a woman with a white and gold headdress on her head. There is a yellow sticky note on the cover of the book with a book rec written on it. Read the next picture for the text on the sticky note.

A close up of the yellow sticky note that is on the cover of the book, the sticky note has handwritten on it: “An amazing retelling/imagining of the Hindu epic, centering around the minor character, Kaikeyi. The character development and interaction in this book was top-notch!”

🌟 Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel 🌟 We read this in the sci-fi/fantasy book club I lead and it was such a great discussion! A surprising 5 star read for me, being that I didn’t know pretty much anything about the book going into it! #stickynotebookrecs #booksky 💙📚

Bookish mail is the best mail!! I am in love with these stamps and I can’t wait to use them! Check out their website, they have the coolest stuff! (thequirkycupcollective.com.au) 💙📚 #booksky

The book James by Percival Everett being held by me. Only my hand is in the picture with the book. You can see the edge of my comfy chair and my carpeted floor in the background.

My current read: James by Percival Everett. It’s SO GOOD. 💙📚 #booksky

A book journal open pages spread for the month of February. February is spelled out in hearts, there are stickers of a boy reading and a girl reading, little hand drawn hearts scattered throughout, with a TBR list of books I want to read this month. There is also a corner decorated for my birthday, with a happy birthday banner and a unicorn. (Because I love unicorns)

I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had book journaling so far this year! It makes me so happy 💜💗🩵 #booksky 💙📚

Cover for Brigands & Breadknives, depicting a campfire scene with an elven adventurer, a rattkin writing letters in the back of a wagon, surprised by a goblin in a patchwork coat brandishing a breadknife, with a demon chicken on their head. Okay, so it's hard to describe.

Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️
Coming Nov 11 '25 from @torbooks.bsky.social-

Huzzah! I just read Bookshops & Bonedust so this is great to look forward to! I really hope there’s at least a cameo of Satchel… why is that the character I need to check up on out of everyone in that book? I don’t know but I loved him 🥰

The book North Woods by Daniel Mason. There is a sticky note recommendation on the front of the book. Next pic has text on sticky note.

A sticky note stuck to the cover of the book North Woods. The text reads: “A different, refreshing story to read! It tells the story of a house/piece of land over the course of several centuries. I enjoyed the little connections between the different eras!”

🌟North Woods by Daniel Mason 🌟
I read this with my online book club friends and it was a fun discussion! This is one of those I wouldn't have picked up on my own, but l'm grateful l read it!

Ok, I recommended Elatsoe to my book club for our April pick. Did I pick a good one? I’ve been wanting to read it for a while now!

We have Small Spaces on the shelf at our bookshop! It has crossed my mind to try next when I’m in the mood for it, but, ok, that cover creeps me out a little!! 🫣 lol

I’m currently reading The Two Towers for the first time with my sci-fi/fantasy book club! I just met Treebeard, he’s pretty cool!

The cover of the book Scritch Scratch by Lindsay Currie, against an orange pillow/wood bench background, with a purple sticky note book rec written on it. Next pic has the text on the sticky note.

A purple sticky note, up close, that has the handwritten text: “A ghost story with some real history involved—ok, I kinda like these kinds of scary stories! Yes, it’s middle-grade, and YES, it spooked me!”

🌟 Scritch Scratch by Lindsay Currie 🌟
Middle grade spooky books are basically my sweet spot for the level of scary I can handle. 😂 But the real history behind the ghost, and the other tragedies in Chicago mentioned in this book were fascinating! 💙📚 #stickynotebookrecs #Booksky

Why do I want a whole book of Satchel? 💀 🩶

Yessss I second this rec, it’s what I came to the comments to add! 🤖

The cover of the book Outlawed by Anna North.

Currently reading: Outlawed by Anna North 💙📚 #Booksky

Such a great book, and shares a theme of visiting different times in history kinda like Slaughterhouse Five!

I read this book just last month and I loved it! 🤓 🩶

The cover of the book The Wedding People by Alison Espach

My first read of 2025 was this one, and it was great!

A picture of the book Restart by Gordon Korman, with a sticky note attached to the cover. The next picture shows what the sticky note says.

A sticky note that says, “Chase’s head injury makes him lose his memory, and he finds out he might not be the kind of kid he thinks he is. Chase is faced with a choice of who he is going to be. I loved this book - 5 stars!”

🌟 Restart by Gordon Korman 🌟 I recommend this book all the time at the bookshop! I’ve enjoyed several of Korman’s books, he has unique storylines, and meaningful messages in his books! 💙📚 #booksky

My dog Ace really loved his Christmas present! 💙🐾

🌟 The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston 🌟
This is my 2nd Ashley Poston book, and I think it’s safe to say now that I’m a fan! This was such an enjoyable read, and I picked it up right after a more heavy read so it was just perfect timing! 💙📚 #stickynotebookrecs

Just found about a new kind of post to scroll where instead of briefly learning 36748585857743 terrible bad things that make your stomach hurt you get to get a whole different new world in your head where people have adventures and do neat stuff idk if anyone knows about this yet it's called novels

🌟Turtles All the Way Down by John Green 🌟 This one I’ve owned forever and finally read it this fall, and am kinda kicking myself for not reading it sooner, because it was fantastic, and so, so relatable.

The book I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue, laying against a red tablecloth background, and the book has a blue sticky note on it with a short recommendation on it. The recommendation text is in the next photo in the post.

A blue sticky note with a short recommendation of the book I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue. The handwritten text on the sticky note says, “What would you do if you suddenly had access to everyone’s emails and chat messages at work? This book made me laugh, but unexpectedly made me cry, too! A surprising gem of a read!”

I use Instagram solely for my Sticky Note Book Recs. I wonder if my posts could find another home on the internet besides IG?
Hi, I’m Melissa, and I’m a mega reader. If you like having bookish content on your feed, maybe give me a follow! I’m still learning Bluesky but I like it so far!
