Support indies this Saturday & all year long. And, if you want to shop a sale, check out ours—every purchase supports the indie of your choice ❤️

I’m just so tired.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

So happy I got this new release in before the huge snow storm that swept through. I absolutely love @kimberlylemming.bsky.social books and I already know this one will not disappoint 🥰 💙📚

Are you looking for an Audible alternative but not fully convinced yet on moving away? What if we told you all of your purchases support indie bookshops? Or that we are employee-owned and community driven?

Let us know what questions you have about Libro.fm—we'd love to help make the switch easy 💓

I think a lot of people are uncomfortable making a scene or pushing back because they've never really had to. And/or they've been socialized to avoid seeming "difficult" or "different." This is a muscle. Flex it and it gets stronger.

I'm having a pretty rough week, so I wanted to remind everyone that it is okay not to be okay. Please be gentle to yourselves and try to do any small thing you can that bring you peace and joy
Give yourself the space and time to get better. Mental health is health.
Be kind to yourselves, friends 🫶🏽

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

That’s it. I’m putting this chunky, intricate, existential book down.

I’m picking the sweet, fast-paced popcorn book up.

Now is not the time for eating literary vegetables.
I want cake.

Cover of the book I got abducted by aliens and now I’m trapped in a rom com where a woman is held by an alien with a dinosaur lion and snake in the background.

This is their new book coming out next month in case you read through all of the Mead Mishaps and need more

The entire series is great! I flew through them all.

Pssst. Hey, You!

If no one has told you today….

You are doing a really great job of holding it all together.

Pass it on! 😊

I'm the emotional support animal for every living being in my house, and it's friggin exhausting 😔

I love the yarn, beautiful color combo.

Thank you 😊

Such an adorable Eevee 😍

The Accessibility menu under BlueSky settings is shown. Underneath are sliders and text that says "require Alt text before posting", "Display larger Alt text badges" and "Haptics feedback". At the bottom there is text saying "Auto play options have been moved to the content and media settings"

Gentle reminder if you frequently forget to add Alt text: go to settings > Accessibility and turn on the setting that requires you to add Alt text to an image before posting

Finished my first project of the year! The crochet Evergreen Cowl by meemamakes 🧶

I loved the “That time I got drunk and…” books! They were just such quick, fun reads 😁 I actually just preordered the authors new book that comes out next month which isn’t part of that series but looked to be in the same vein.

Library Extension (for web browsers) Library Extension lets you instantly see book and eBook availability from your local library

Everyone should know about this one, right? You install the browser extension, give it your library card info, and then when you are looking at books on Amazon or whatever, it lets you know if you can get the book from your library. www.libraryextension.com

Sometimes it looks like scaling back your use of that company or app, or choosing the lesser of two evils. It's okay.

Love the color combo!

How have I never heard of this book before??! 😱

Cuteness overload!

One book down in the @thebookanalysts.bsky.social January Readathon! 💙📚 I flew through this book in a little over a day and I really loved Butcher & Blackbird, now onto Leather & Lark 📚🌶️ #booksky

Such a fun Knit-a-long! Now to find some blue yarn! 🧶 💙🦋🩵
