I know I’m like a day early but I know I won’t get any more physical books read this month. Here’s my wrap up of what I read, what was purchased (Fairyloot, PangoBooks, and Bookshop.org ftw), and what was my absolute favorite of the month. 
This might be my favorite book of the year.

Hi! It’s been a while. I’m terrible at updating this haha. I updated my socials and my linktree and remembered I had this account. Might be a bit more active on here in the future 🌊📚☀️

Any of my fellow book peeps still on here or did we give up?

I am pretty biased but I think reference librarians (and all librarians really) are pretty rad too :D

So um… I could see why some people would like this but our main character is reminding me of someone I dislike so….

Oh oops, I forgot I existed for a minute

I hate 3rd act breakups so much. Like with a burning passion. I’m giving 1 stars to otherwise solid romances and 2 stars for arcs reviews. But I did love the bisexual rep, the hockey aspect, and the grumpy x sunshine vibes. #belatedarcreview #booksky

Got to meet this author twice in one week and finally get a good look at their bedazzled book. So pretty!! 😍

My first Kobo read… and like … love the color on it but this story is something I wasn’t expecting 👀

Living that ARC life. So excited for this to be released in July 💕 📖 #booksky #arc

Idk if the clock app is trying to tell me something but I’ve been getting adds for steam cleaners NON stop …

Befriended someone last year that gave me Florida man vibes, they asked what I was doing with my house and my library when I died in a way that seriously made me put on the breaks to inviting them over to my house. WDYM?! I’m young and have family, why is that your first thought to ask me?? #booksky

I know some people don’t mind loaning out their books but I refuse. Like I’m not the library (yet 😢) go borrow books from them.

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

The only good thing about Texas was hitting up the indie bookstores and seeing family. The Plot Twist book bar, Patchouli Joe’s, Recycled Books (all in Denton), and Talking Animal Books (Grapevine). I didn’t have room for books but I got a small haul

Got into some good trouble yesterday at the #handsoff protest here in St. Paul! And of course I had to make a quilt sign! I’m calling this one “2025 Required Reading”

Reading is therapy, but sometimes the reading makes you need therapy. Not naming any names… SUZANNE COLLINS 😭

Truly nothing but I have to field these questions every time I met new people and they learn I’m married 😝

But like I’m not Polly? And I state that I’m not Polly and then I’ll still get asked why not try Polly? Like tf lol

I’m a married bi woman, and I ✨ truly ✨ wish with every fiber in my being that people would stop asking why I’m not Polly so I can also have a girlfriend too. 🙄 I picked a person to love and commit to, not a side of my sexuality. Still bi, still married, still annoyed by ignorant ass questions.

It’s low on my priority news intake so I haven’t been looking as deep for the full story on it with ✨ everything ✨ else happening

Wait… so are we losing the clock app again or not? 🙄
