Whiskey Reads

So I started #RedRising two days ago. At first I wasn't absolutely in love with it, but the longer I've listened to it, the more I've started to like it. It's definitely a bit different than the last couple of reads. I look forward to seeing where this story goes.

For those who might be unaware or just getting a library card: libraries are for more than just books! Many have a Library of Things with a variety of tools & equipment you can check out. Bike pumps, sewing machines, yard games, even power drills, for hobbies & home needs. #booksky

I have heard y'all!! The next series I'll be diving into is #RedRising. I'm curious to see what it is that has everyone loving this series. How about you guys leave your favorite quotes or chapter numbers below?! #Booktok #BookSky #PierceBrown

Like a good reader does, I am totally going to ignore my mile long tbr list and ask for recommendations from you lovely people! I am all about fantasy/scifi/dystopian, So please give me those recs and why you love it!

Oh yeah, for sure! Now it's just to wait two years for the next book.... 😬

So I've finished #OnyxStorm and had a bit of time to digest the roller coaster. While the book didn't captivate me like the first two, it has definitely set up the next book to be an utter bombshell. I think the next one will kill me. I would love to know your thoughts!

Soon!! Enjoying the release party with fellow riders. 😁 #OnyxStorm #BookSky

Acquired some special cargo from the #Empyrean to smuggle to worthy riders at tonight's gathering for #OnyxStorm.

What type dragon would you want to choose you?

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

Claiming audiobooks "don't count" is ableist and stupid. Consume your content in the fashion most enjoyable and convenient. #booksky

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Today is the day!! #OnyxStorm is being released tonight and I am very excited to be attending a release event at #2ndandCharles. Down south we are having an unprecedented winter event, which means I have PLENTY of time to read and sip on a hot toddy or two. 😎

The official ban of tiktok is so saddening. A lot of great authors got their hardwork recognized with the help of that app, while readers across the globe got to connect and share their love for reading. I hope this isn't the end, just a "see you later."

I recently finished #TheGamesGodsPlay by #AbigailOwen. It's a Greek pantheon based story with a FMC. The story was good, but I feel like it ended with a lot of things left unresolved. I look forward to the second book with the hope of everything coming full circle!

"For anyone who has ever been told their spark shouldn’t burn so bright and for all the people who loved them precisely because it did."

Penn Cole, Spark of the Everflame (Kindred's Curse, #1)

Important thing to remember in the times to come.

Now is a good time to get those banned books into your personal library. I fear they’ll disappear.
