@moonbat99.bsky.social and I have celebrated my 28th birthday and also moved into our first apartment. I haven't had much time to read this week, but I am about 50% through Provenance by Ann Leckie. #currentlyreading #books #booksky

Finished two books this past week. @moonbat99.bsky.social and I have a crazy busy week coming up so I'm not sure how much time I will have to read. I liked The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society, but it wasn't awesome. Really enjoyed Alice Is Not Dead though. #reading #books #booksky

It was pretty simple for doctors to be willing to prescribe medicine, but a challenge to find one I could tolerate (for unrelated medical reasons.) Hopefully you're able to find something that works. Medicine has changed my life!

I just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I absolutely loved The Martian and really did not think any of his books could top it. However, PHM was AMAZING. I loved it even more. Highly recommend. I cannot wait to see the movie!! #booksky #books #scifi

Do I get points for having been an aspiring hyper Christian straight girl clerk librarian girl in the midst of realizing she's actually an probably autistic definitely bookish lesbian? I have a wife now sooo it turned out well for me

Bro, people who have never worked in public libraries do not understand the luxury of having research librarians on staff and available for referrals. If you are at a public library, bestie YOU'RE the reference librarian or there's not one. #library #librarian

I work in a library. When you come in with a faint memory of a cover and a whisper of a plot, I donโ€™t panicโ€”I hunt.
Because library magic is real.
But so is the work behind it. And I take pride in being the kind of wizard who earns it.

In a place like this with no phones, just stories and silence... how long would you stay?

When a network lays off one of Americaโ€™s greatest satirists, itโ€™s not because he failed. Itโ€™s because he succeeded too loudly.

Need to move 2001 by Arthur C. Clarke up my list because I bought the movie tonight on sale. Can't wait to finally watch it. #sciencefiction #books #movies #booksky #moviesky

I'm enjoying Project Hail Mary so far. I always enjoy Andy Weir's sense of humor and the story is really captivating. Can't wait to see the movie in March!

I randomly read Ancilliary Justice this week and it was pretty great. I've started the sequel now as well. #currentlyreading #books #booksky

Big weekend for reading. I read Counterattacks at Thirty by Won-Pyung Sohn today and I did not enjoy it as much as Almond, but it was still fascinating. Just started reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. #currentlyreading #booksky #books #reader

You do. (Spoiler Alert: I started both.)

Just finished The Medusa Protocol by Rob Hart. I enjoyed this one just as much as I enjoyed Assassin's Anonymous earlier this year. Very quick read. I'm torn between reading A Borrowed Man by Gene Wolfe and Counterattacks at Thirty by Won-Pyung Sohn next. #books #booksky #currentlyreading #fiction

I finished reading The Thunderhead by Neil Shusterman the other night. I am blown away by this series so far. Definitely will get into The Toll very soon. I'm currently reading The Medusa Paradox by Rob Hart and I am enjoying it. #currentlyreading #books #booksky #reader

I try to mix things up and not get too used to any genre. I loved that Artemis was set on the moon. It was so cool. And yep, I am enjoying Thunderhead. I really like Shusterman's writing style.

Had a pretty good long weekend and spent a lot of time reading. I was able to finish reading Artemis by Andy Weir and The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki. I enjoyed both of them. Currently about halfway through Thunderhead. #currentlyreading #booksky #books
