Shelf Awareness

Hi! Just a quick note—@shelfawareness.bsky.social actually tags my account. 😊 Thanks for sharing this info, though.

Image is of a page from the novel, Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone, that reads: "And lastly--thank you for reading. There are so many books out there and you chose mine, and that's truly special. I hope you had fun."

Just finished Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone and wow—I had an absolute blast. Twisty, clever, and hilariously dark. Highly recommend if you like your murder with a side of sass. 🔪📚 #booksky📚💙 #booktok 📚⏰ #MysteryReads #HighlyRecommend #WhodunitWithHumor

Still cackling my way through Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. The narrator’s sass is unmatched, the body count’s up to six, and honestly? I’ve never had this much fun with murder. 😂🔪📚 #booksky📚💙 #booktok 📚⏰ #MysteryReads

Absolutely love this idea! 💖 Pairing reading with coloring as a stress-relief combo is brilliant—and focusing on authentic reasons to read? Even better. Thanks so much for sharing! #EduSky #TLSky #Skybrarian 📚

Image of a page in a novel that reads: I'll hold here to mention that I know some authors are incapable of having a woman throw up without it being a clue to pregnancy. These same authors seem to think nausea is the only indication of childbearing, not to mention their belief that vomit shoots out of the woman's mouth within hours of plot- convenient fertilization by some authors, I mean male ones. Far be it for me to tell you which clues to pay attention to, but Sofia's not pregnant, okay? She's allowed to throw up of her own volition.

Absolutely loving the sassy narrative voice in Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. It’s like being led through a murder mystery by someone who’s had just enough caffeine and zero filter. 😂📚 #booksky📚💙 #booktok📚⏰ #MysteryReads #NarratorGoals

Plot twist: I’d 100% commit treason for more cozy reads like Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea. Banter? Top tier. Griffin babies? Weaponized cuteness. This book was my warmest rebellion. ☕📖 #BookSky 📚💙 #BookTok 📚⏰

Sipping my way through Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea and it’s giving: sarcastic banter, emotional support griffin babies, and enough cozy vibes to cancel my apocalypse. 10/10 escape from reality. 🫖📚 #BookSky📚💙 #BookTok📚⏰

Readers Annoyed When Fantasy Novel Accidentally Leaves AI Prompt in Published Version, Showing Request to Copy Another Writer's Style A scammer left glaringly obvious evidence of using AI to write portions of a fantasy novel and even tried to copy the style of a real author.

This article had me raising eyebrows and asking big questions: futurism.com/fantasy-nove...
If AI can mimic an author's style this closely… where does creativity end and imitation begin? What boundaries should we set? I'd love to hear your thoughts. #Booksky📚💙 #Booktok📚⏰#AIandWriting #CreativeEthics

Just finished All Laced Up and it was the perfect blend of sweet and swoony—exactly what I needed after a week that felt like a triple axel into a Zamboni. Fluffy, fun, and a total win on ice! #BookSky📚💙 #BookTok📚⏰

This idea is everything. A letter from my favorite comfort character? Instant joy and emotional devastation. 10/10 would frame it and cry about it regularly. #Booksky📚💙 #BookTok📚⏰

Authors should start doing merch from their characters. Imagine getting a letter from your favourite comfort character.

I think that would heal and destroy me emotionally all at once.

Really enjoying All Laced Up! It’s sweet enough to give you a cavity, but Lia keeps Pierce on his (toe) picks and I’m here for it. Accountability with a side of swoon! #Booksky📚💙 #BookTok📚⏰ #YARomance

All Laced Up by Erin Fletcher.

Starting All Laced Up by Erin Fletcher—friend said I’d love it. Fingers crossed it’s more of a Hallmark romance and not “I need an ice bucket” spicy. Stay tuned! #Booksky📚💙 #BookTok📚⏰ #YARomance

Finished Remember Me Always—thankfully no double death scene, but still tragic enough to make me yell at fictional people. Romeo & Juliet would’ve been proud. #BookSky📚💙 #BookTok 📚⏰

Making progress on Remember Me Always and loving the Romeo & Juliet vibes—minus, you know, the double tragedy. Fingers crossed this one ends with fewer daggers. #BookSky📚💙 #BookTok 📚⏰ #YARomance #CurrentlyReading

Remember Me Always by Renee Collins

Just started Remember Me Always by Renee Collins and I already have SO many questions. I do not trust the mom, and I need to know Auden’s secret ASAP. Let’s gooo. #BookSky📚💙#Booktok📚⏰ #YAFiction #CurrentlyReading

Just finished Click’d and I LOVED that it didn’t wrap everything up with a shiny feel-good bow. Sometimes the app crashes and you don't know how to fix things—relatable! #BookSky📚💙 #Booktok📚⏰ #YArealness

Loving Click’d by Tamara Ireland Stone so far! Allie’s app is genius—if chaotic—but it totally click’d with me. Wish I had one for making friends (minus the bugs). #BookSky📚💙 #BookTok📚⏰ #YAreads

Click'd by Tamara Ireland Stone

The podcasts were awesome brain snacks, but now I'm ready for the full meal—starting Clik’d by Tamara Ireland Stone! Let’s see what this app-building adventure has in store! #booksky📚💙 #booktok 📚⏰

How have I never heard of Science Vs.? 🫣 So excited to dive into this! Thank you for the recommendation.

That's a great idea! Any recommendations?

Been in a reading slump lately, and honestly? It feels weird. 😳 Books are my usual escape, but my brain is like, ‘Nah.’ 😂 Anyone else been there? Tips for breaking out of it? #booksky 📚💙 #booktok 📚⏰ #ReadingSlump #BookishProblems
