Black bookmark with a line drawing of a castle tower with Dracula Bram Stoker in the middle and there's an icon of a bat.

It's almost a requirement that I use my Dracula bookmark for this vampire book 💙📚

Well I've read the first 15 pages faster than the last 3 or 4 books I've read

Oooooooh the map!

Cover of Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma. There is a cathedral gripped in a hand

Forgot it was bookclub this Sunday, so I gotta read Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma 💙📚

It’s so wild that one of the reasons BlueSky is dissed so much is because there are smart people here who write and read books and then they have the gall to talk about what they know from writing and reading books. How dare you.

Happy Read Across America Day, lovelies! 💬📚

What are you reading today? 💙📚✨

Today's #haiku

It's not haiku month anymore but I've enjoyed writing these so I'm going to continue

Another day of
bone weary filled exhaustion
of hopeful sunshine.

Cover of Ingrained by Callum Robinson. There are old, worn woodworking tools on a wooden background.

I'm listening to the audiobook Ingrained by Callum Robinson

*inflections

Oh well, i don't listen to fiction audiobooks specifically bc i can't handle the "performance" of it. I listen to nonfiction audiobooks bc they are just read with no infections and things.

Oh no, i just bought this book

It's almost done being published, so you might as well wait

I have no plans for March beyond reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and continuing to listen to audiobooks in my car. Well, not all. I also plan to continue buying books that I will add to piles.

I need to dnf books sooner too so it's not lingering over my head and affecting my reading brain. 💙📚

Cover of The End is Alwyas Near Apocalyptic Moments from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses

And finally: The End is Always Near by Dan Carlin. I liked the majority of this except for chap 2. I don't want to get into it here. But it's ... just no. 💙📚💡 📚🎧

Cover of The Library A Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen

The Library A Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen. I enjoyed this a lot, but it was a lot of dates and numbers. It's good to know that censoring libraries isn't a new thing but you'd think we'd have learned by now 💙📚💡 📚🎧

Cover of Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. A bundle of ramen hangs from chopsticks in the shape of an H

Cover of the house of my mother by Shari Frank.

MEMIORS: Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner and The house of my Mother by Shari Franke. Two VERY VERY VERY different emotional accounts of a young woman and her mother. Both were very good and both had me reliving some trauma. 💙📚💡 📚🎧

Cover of Over My Dead Body Unearthing the Hidden History of America's Cemeteries by Greg Melville. The title is in 4 lines shaped like a headstone.

Over My (Unalived) Body by Greg Melville is a much better history book. It looks at US history through our cemeteries. 💙📚💡 📚🎧

Cover of The Mosquito A human history of our deadliest predator by Timothy Winegard. A mosquito on a black background

NONFICTION AUDIOBOOKS: I finished The Mosquito by Timothy Winegard which was just a military history book with "and the mosquitoes were there" inserted where it would fit. It was a rationalization to write a book. Winegard referenced other sources doing the same thing. Read those instead. 💙📚💡 📚🎧

Cover of pride and prejudice by Jane Austen

NOVEL: I re-read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for a bookclub
💙📚

Cover of Almark by Hiyoto Yunoki and Noboru Yamada. A boy with blue hair stands in a field with a sword on his back

Cover of Lore Olympus volume 9 by Rachel Smythe with pink persephone and blue hades wrapped up together

MANGA/GRAPHIC NOVEL: Almark was great, and i wish I'd checked before i read it but the second one isn't released yet.

I love Lore Olympus so much. This one is just as beautiful as the previous 8. 💙📚

Feb #readingwrapup (ooh look at me doing this on March 1)

February is always a slow month for me. I trade books for student papers and lesson plans and emails.

Everything is flipped. Without audiobooks, I'd have read 3 books.

9 books: 6 nonfiction audiobooks, 1 novel, 1 manga, 1 graphic novel 💙📚

Or go to #BookSky and bookscroll!

📚💙

Finished!

I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

It’s always nice when a human looks relieved to see you.

Oh wow. This is an instant add for me. Thank you!

I just bought Nine Goblins! I'll probably read it in March

I'm staring at The Spear Vuts Through Water where it's sitting on my shelf. I should read that ... How to Eat sounds interesting@
