Love it!!

I'm happy to announce another book giveaway! 🎉

This month, Aly has offered to give away a FREE copy of her book "The Light of Souls" to a Creative Writing Wizard newsletter subscriber!

Details in thread 🧵 👇

I’m very excited to dive in further! :)

Current reads thread!

Reply to this with the book you’re currently reading!

I’ll go first— I’ve had a lot of friends recommend Octavia Butler to me, and I finally decided to take the plunge! #Booksky 💙📚

Scene from The Princess Bride where Vizzinni says "You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen"

The ending packs a good punch— you’re on the home stretch! 🫶

Reading is so relaxing. I feel so calm and not at all emotional. It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything is fine. 🥲 #OnyxStorm 💙📚

A book that starts with the main character trying to save herself and ends with a vow to save others while fighting back against a toxic system of power? Never heard of it. 💙📚🪐

Today, on bookish events you should know about… 💙📚

Closed-door fans, here’s a chance to stuff your e-reader!

Things you should do in 2025:

1. Make your art— art is a vessel for hope and truth.
2. Read books. This is how knowledge and ideas are spread.
3. Love your fellow humans, which means not being passive in the face of harmful or unjust behavior.
4. Be really loud about it.

💙📚

Anyway, as we navigate the way this will impact reading and writing communities, I’m excited to see how Bluesky continues to grow! 🫶

I never had success from TikTok, but I did have a lot of fun. I made some great connections, and some of my favorite folks to cheer for are creatives I first came across on that app.

I am saddened and disheartened by the precedent that this sets and how it is going to impact creative communities.

Woke up to the instagram changes, and while they haven’t really negatively impacted the way my grid looks, my patience with those platforms is razor thin right now, so I’m beefing on principle. 🫡

You’ve got this!!

Exciting!!

For books? My top read so far this year is Demon Copperhead; last year’s was When the Moon Hatched.

In general? I’m excited to be discovering how to find communities in this app 😂

This is one of my favorite books!

The twist in this one!! 🤯

Thanks! 😁

Finally starting to figure out where the book people are hiding! 💙📚🪐

For the ten of you the algorithm decides to show this to, you must be quirky and a hoot. Also, you likely enjoy Jane Austen, magic, dragons, and snark.

THIS ⬇️ is my second book. It has all of those things (and more - like a yeti, time travel, and an assistant that could out-watson Watson). 💙📚

Aw, thanks for sharing!

Thank you! 😁

Love this!

Understandably so 🥳

SO EXCITING!!!
