Books Are For Everyone: A Banned Books Week Reading List Banned Books Week—October 5th to 11th—is an annual celebration of the freedom to read, and the aspiration that books should be accessible to all. In recognition of Banned Books Week 2025, Haymarket is...

For #BannedBooksWeek, we’re highlighting the unjust censorship of political books which impacts countless incarcerated readers each year.

For every book purchased from this reading list, we will be sending a book to someone who is incarcerated.

Danica Nava the romance author you are. Thank you 🙏🏽 and I will forever be a loyal reader. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #romancereads #romancebooks

This book reminded me why I love reading nonfiction.

Another history book that taught me so much I didn’t learn in school. #historybook #historybooks #booksky

Summer is wrapping up and as much as I like spooky season I will miss this dearly. And yes, Mirrored Heavens was an exciting, beautiful, and innonvative ending to the Between Earth and Sky trilogy #booksky #blacksun

I’m on my third Kennedy Ryan book in a month. I get it now. I’m loving her romance books. #summerreads #romancereads

Literally. How I feel every week. Haven’t bought a book from them since 2017

So good. All the feels unlocked and I was crying on an airplane as silently as I could 😂

I honestly don’t know if TFZ deserves another shot. I should have DNF’d it. The dudes “protectiveness” was poorly executed and some other components

I get the Abby Jimenez love now. I first listened to The Friend Zone and did NOT like it. So I gave her one more chance and loved it and then another and loved it. I’m hooked. Yours Truly and The Happy Ever After Playlist were awesome! #booksky #abbyjimenez #romancebooks #romancereads

My second ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ romance read of this year. Takes one to know one was fun, heartfelt, and layered which is what I love in a romance. #booksky #romancebooks #fivestarreads

I noticed the lack of intersectionality in the research but wow. Thank you for letting me know.

Listened to this as part of my prep for a YT video about books on female rage. And this one DEFINITELY qualifies. Lmk in the comments if you have any recs. #booksky #bookrecs #femalerage

I’m going to look up the original cover now. I listened to it through my library but maybe can snag a different cover for my book collection ❤️

First book of April. Okay! Wow. One of the internal monologues was so good. I was James Baldwin can really write women really well. Anyway this was such a good story #booksky

Yay! Just got it from my library. Very excited

If I ever go to the bologna book fair, I’m gonna try to talk to as many people as I can until I get to the person who can reposition Hawaii publishers to be included in the Oceania region for the publisher’s award instead of North America

I feel this every month. And then sometimes I forget to do the wrap up. And I’m midway through the next month, oh well

#booktok rec again with a hit. What a great YA read with many layers. From the dia de los muertos and lady of death to the character layers. Forever greatful for recs from different platforms. #transrightsreadathon #booksky

😂 Joining NetGalley for the first time and only requesting books I actually see myself reading. Rejected from 5 because I don’t have >50% reading and reviewing rate. It’s 0…. Because I literally just joined. This reminds me of applying to entry level jobs wanting 5-7 years of experience 😂 #booksky

Native Authors: I am accepting manuscripts during Pitchfest! (But if you have a YA or adult manuscript that doesn’t quite fit, I’d love to still see it now!)

My stack of I need to finish. Anyone else? Short stories and poetry I just naturally go through slowly and then some nonfiction is very dense or slow going. Nothing against the books. I just need to wrap this up 😂. #booksky #readingcommunity

Best romance I’ve read in years. So many layers and depth to the characters. And the author has another romance coming in July! I’m so excited and ready. Standing ovation, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #romancebook #romancegirlie #readingcommunity

I’m loving the Poppy War trilogy. The Dragon Republic was even better than the first book and the last 200 pages had me hooked with a twist that made me audibly gasp. I’m now 150 pages into The Burning God and realized I forgot to read the Drowning Faith novella. So now I need to back up. 😳 #booksky

My 3rd 5 ⭐️ read of this year. Incredibly educational, inspiring, and engaging. Authors acknowledgements always get me teary eyed but this one had me full on crying. Her gratitude for many that helped this book was beautiful and her love for her husband I felt so deeply. #booksky #readingcommunity

I totally agree! I literally tried googling for a list of nonfiction written by journalists after reading By the Fire we Carry and nothing really came up except Malcolm gladwell. This sounds interesting

Definitely. Which is why I took a break after so many nonfiction

After 5 nonfiction reads I’m listening to a couple romance books. Anyone else genres switchers? Esp to avoid reading slumps? #booksky #readingthings #readingcommunity

Hope you like it 🩵

YouTube video by Mouo Musings Oral storytelling has been attacked for decades, here is why it's harmful

I did it! A month of drafting the script, a few hours of editing, and finally my video on the importance of oral storytelling, colonization and languages history, news, books, and a poem for my argument. No worries, it’s just 20 mins. Hope you find it interesting. #booksky #booktube #storytelling
