I love to hear this, I may need an audio reread before book 2 comes out!

What is the ONE BOOK that if you see it in the background on someone’s shelf, you will immediately follow them?

Mine is A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde. It signals a love of diverse epic fantasy, queernorm worlds, & championing debut authors; to me that means…instant book besties!!!
#booksky

Voyage of the Damned, for sure.

👀👀👀

Noted! Sounds like exactly what I need. If I’m not feeling all the things, I don’t want it 😂

I have this one on my shelf! Maybe I should move it up the tbr??

A bit of a mixed bag for October but such a good trade off for two 5 star reads:
✨The Land of the Living and the Dead (phenomenal series overall) and ✨Bloodtide by Sophie Burnham (the most underhyped series to exist)

What was your top read in the month of October? #booksky

I completely agree! It’s probably going to be my top read of the year

Books Featured: Beasts of Carnaval by Rosália Rodrigo A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino Daughter of Chaos by AS Webb

Queernorm stories build worlds where queerness exists w/out explanation or judgment, where identity doesn’t have to be defended to be real. Even when queer characters aren’t at the center, the absence of prejudice reshapes the story itself, and that is powerful. Here’s my underrated faves! #booksky

I never understand these trends, but honestly this a pretty good sampling of my bookish taste! I’ve read and enjoyed each and every one of the books in this palette. Would you be able to complete a full palette of your favorite reads? What would go on it first? #booksky

You killed it!!!

“In times of uncertainty we can dig deep into the dark feminine and, like the Hindu goddess Durga, arm ourselves with many weapons to provide protection for ourselves or others.”

Tales of the Dark Feminine by V. Castro is a beautifully illustrated compilation of powerful female legends. #booksky

The 🍂vibes 🕯️in this tbr are just truly immaculate

I REALLY need to start this series.

I’m hearing so many good things about Red City!

Hand holding a book titled the lighthouse at the edge of the world by JR Dawson.

I love the feeling of getting what feels like a personalized recommendation by a bookish friend and The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World by JR Dawson is one of those books. It is a queer contemporary fantasy about life, loss, and family and I’ve been warned to have the tissues handy! #booksky

The FOMO finally got me and I subscribed to @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social. My first pick was Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei; described as part eco-thriller, part sisterhood epic with dystopian elements. I’m super excited to dive in! Thanks Aardvark! I look forward to seeing next months picks! #booksky

Thank you for sharing!

October is Substance Use Prevention Month & stories of addiction and recovery remind us that healing is not linear, and that there is no single “right” path to recovery. Representation gives language, visibility, and hope to those who may feel alone in their journey. Here are some recs! #booksky

Three image tiles. The first image tile is part of the cover for SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN, highlighting the title. The second image tile is Fred Savage sitting in his bed in THE PRINCESS BRIDE, looking wary and asking, "Is this a kissing book?" The third image tile is a xenomorph from Alien, jaws open, looming through steam and darkness, and saying, "...Kind of."

I don't know why I had to make this, but I had to make this.

One of my absolute favorites! ♥️

Who is building their Fall TBR (despite the weather being nothing like Fall…)? If that’s you and you’re not sure what to add to it, might I suggest…. #booksky

It is sapphic!! That’s exactly the set up 🥰 Happy reading!

If you are still curating your TBR for Sapphic September and enjoy speculative fiction genres, I have a few suggestions for you…

What other books are on your list for this month?

#booksky

So relatable though… the fomo always gets me

The @illumicrate.bsky.social 10th Anniversary Farseer Trilogy special edition set is finally here and the ARTWORK has me totally spoiled. Each piece of art detailed a favorite scene or character from this series that literally does not ever leave my mind. I’m obsessed 😍 #booksky

My dream of having a special edition of Black Sun by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social has finally come true, and the in-chapter ARTWORK 😍😍. This series WON A HUGO last week, by the way, for Best Series and it was so incredibly well deserved. I can’t wait to display this whole set on my shelf! #booksky

I was influenced to pick up Tiny Book Shop (a cozy little switch game where you decorate your mobile bookshop & drive around recing & selling books) and now I am addicted 😂 I spent my Sunday playing and listening to The Unbroken by C.L. Clark (which isn’t cozy at all!). How was your Sunday? #booksky
