Tarryn

I grew up blasting Jagged Little Pill and singing along at the top of my lungs — is it any wonder I am the way I am now?

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Ugh I was not able to avoid some. I’m annoyed by that.

I have not finished #onyxstorm yet but my husband and daughter have. The FOMO I’m having as they are discussing the book in secret… #booksky #rebeccayarros #familybookclub

#onyxstorm release day. Excited to see if my imaginings fit the reality. Is there a song you’re expecting to fit the vibes? #booksky #booktok

The anticipation of a new book being released is almost as good as the dissociation I get to experience in 36 hours.

@skylight.social #booksky wants the videos, for sure! I’d love to beta test this.

I love this template. I’ve been wanting to read this book! Or anything by this author.

I would love a spot to save posts that is just for me to be able to go back and reference them.

Oh no… I very much judge a book by its cover.

I wish I did!! My husband and daughter will pick my copy up after school gets out but I’ll be at work and they’ll be chapters ahead of me 😫

Books that, for no particular reason, I want to get a hard copy of ASAP:

📚 The Giver
📚 1984
📚 Fahrenheit 451
📚 Brave New World

I checked… it’s scary over there for me. Anxiety and fear is 📈. I’m gonna stay here where it’s nice.

What I thought yesterday when #booktok was going away…
But honestly I’m really liking the actual engagement that’s happening with #booksky. Ready to read #onyxstorm and discuss with my #booksky friends.

This pop up made me feel like this emoji: 😖

The message about Trump saving it gave me a really crummy feeling when I tried opening the app. I’m thinking it’s not worth it if the government is going to own any part of it.

So… do we just pretend none of that happened and use TikTok again or do we think it’s actually compromised?

That’s fair. Not every book is for everyone.

Hahaha yes she is quite foolish sometimes but I think she has grown a lot in the last half of iron flame

I’ve been wanting to read some of her books.

I’m finishing Iron Flame reread today in preparation for Onyx Storm. Also sitting on my TBR shelf are One Dark Window and Nightbane

This is on my TBR!

Hey #booksky! I only use Storygraph to track my reading. If you use that I would love to follow each other.

Just followed you.

Definitely!!! It’s like buying a bottle of wine because the label is good…

Love it! That’s like when grown ups ask kids what they want to be someday: happy. 😊

I only use StoryGraph. I love it!!

I use StoryGraph!

Samesies!!! #booktok was such a great community and I’m looking forward to building community again with #booksky

I just started listening to graphic audios and mostly liked it but noticed they skipped full paragraphs.
