March Reading Wrap-up #thestorygraph

Fantastic! Loved the sarcastic humor throughout this story of a PhD with a savior complex and mommy issues working with the UN to deradicalize ISIS brides in Iraq.

4.5⭐️ the pacing at one point felt a little off, but not horribly #recentlyread #booksky #fiction

Read & Returned 📚✅️

Catcher- a buddy read to see if the book we hated in high school would be better as an adult. Both yes and no somehow. 2.75/5

Crooked Seeds- off a prize longlist. I liked it much better than I expected to. Still... liked not loved. Awful MC! (but well written) 3.5/5

Netanyahu has not allowed any aid into Gaza in 22 days. He broke the ceasefire, resuming a bombing campaign that has killed more than 50,000 people. Now he is threatening a long-term occupation of Gaza.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU’S WAR MACHINE.

At 12:35 am ET, the president decreed that he was nullifying President Biden’s preemptive pardons of members of the January 6 committee, an assertion of a power the Constitution does not bestow.

I read Liars by Sarah Manguso off the Carol Shields Prize for Fiction Longlist. About a woman's transition from artist to wife to mother and her maintaining those identities while in a toxic relationship. Couldn't put it down! Reads as a mostly linear collection of moments- very propulsive! #booksky

If you want something wholesome and endearing to do today, keep the Tesla stock on your screen.

Well... That's 3 in a row from this guy that have been flops. I think I need to stop pushing it. HORRORSTOR was my 1st and fave of his, and nothing else has come close. Witchcraft for Wayward Girls could have done so much, but I think he lost his hold of the plot #recentlyread #booksky 📚💙

Boycott 3/7-3/14

The best way to boycott is to fully delete the app.

These companies make the most money off your data. They make it when they send you notifications or you click on a suggested item.

Not buying helps but if you want to hit them where it really hurts, delete the apps.

No matter the writer's skill, this makes the 2021 prize committee's defence of transwomen feel shallow and performative, while now in 2025, the prize seems to be capitulating to conservative ideology... or they just don't care, actually.

I posted, the deleted and ran back to ig bc I know I've made that a safe place and I'm still new to #booksky... but here goes: I am beyond disappointed in the #womensprize for longlisting adiche.

The 2025 #WomensPrize for Fiction longlist. Which ones are you excited to read first?

Soooo.... this just stays here unfinished forever now? Couldn't play Saturday, and didn't get out til 2p on Sunday. Also, didn't want to spend $$$$ to keep buying passes (did spend some tho). So now that event is over there's no way to get fusion energy? Am I missing something? #unova #pokemongo

I love a good evolution glitch #pokemongo

They gave everyone the rewards bc raids weren't counting towards them yesterday 🙌

Thank you ❤️

Winning a raid wasn't counting for a lot of people's timed research rewards so they had to just auto complete it. 🤣

Winning raids wasn't counting towards the timed research, so the fix is to auto complete it for everyone

Thanks!

Omg yes! Was not expecting that character. I've teared up a few times (lost my nanny dog 2 months ago) 💔🐶❤️

How come no one told me how good this is?! Just kidding, I think the whole world loved this, and I'm late to the party. Bookclub discussion is tomorrow, can't wait!!
