Nomad

First day back at work and my books are at home without me..lonely, untouched, whispering my name in the quiet.
I am feral in captivity, longing to return to my paper kingdom 📚

#booksky

The last day of my vacation dawns. My bookstore spoils gleam in the dim light. I shall not leave my nest until the final page falls and Monday finds me ink-drunk and unrepentant.

#booksky

Halfway through vacation:
📚 15 books devoured
🏛️ 2 library pilgrimages completed
🌧️ rain tapping on the windows while I hide in my blanket fort like a cryptid
📖 currently reading another book (because why not)
🗺️ planning a bookstore raid later this week
The old gods are pleased.

Vacation? Oh no, darling, this is a sacred read-cation. The sun rises, I open a book. The sun sets, I’m still reading. Time is fake, meals are optional, chapters are infinite.

Especially since I acquired the new Amy Padilla and the newest Arden Fox books!

#booksky #vacay

On vacation. Spent 6 hours in a library I don’t work at. Was only forced to leave because the AC was off and I refuse to sweat near the books. I have standards. They are weird, but they are mine.

Book Math: Re-reading something means it was a good investment

Personally, I only buy physical copies of books I want to re-read and share so I always consider them good investments!

#booksky #reader

Was the recipe a main part of the story? Did the book include a recipe? Do you remember anything about the plot other than the recipe? Color or art of the cover?

Well then, fire away. Tell me what you remember about this book you want to find! The more info the better.

First, tell me where else have you gone for help? And yes, I'll do my best.

Vacation mode: activated.
Plans include:
📚 reading 47 books
🔥 loading my Kindle like it’s a sacred artifact
🎧 letting audiobooks narrate my decent into bliss
🏛️ visiting libraries like ancient temples
🏛️ and making a pilgrimage to my fav bookstore
Just as the old gods intended.

Me: Sees trailer for Murderbot Diaries show.
Also me: Realizes it’s based on a book by a woman.
Also me: Instantly feral.
Now I’m emotionally attached to a sarcastic rogue security unit who just wants to be left alone with its soaps. Highly recommend.

The world was loud, the week was rude, and I am feeling CRISPY. I'm burrowing into my goblin den with snacks, a blanket, and a stack of books that might stitch my soul back together with magic and spite.

#booksky #reader

I listen to audiobooks in the car, keep spare physical books with the beach stuff and have the Kindle app on my phone. I'm never without a book!

I take my Kindle everywhere like a little cursed talisman. Grocery store? With me. Doctor's office? Absolutely. Walking into the void? Might have 3 minutes to read. Feral literacy waits for no one. This goblin snacks on words wherever she goes. 🖤📖. 📚✨

Had a day that made me want to scream into a jar and seal it shut forever. Instead, I came home, reverted to my base goblin form, and started reading. Balance restored. Chaos contained (for now).

#booksky

I clocked out and clocked into a fantasy where the stakes are high, the drama is delicious, and I’m not responsible for anything but flipping pages.

#booksky

I came home from work, put on my comfiest clothes, made a nest of blankets, grabbed a book, and am now aggressively recovering from capitalism like the cozy little cryptid I am.

#booksky #reader

The weekend is almost over so I’ve entered maximum escapism mode. No one talk to me. I’ve got 3 books, a dwindling sense of time, and a deeply unhealthy coping mechanism.
#booksky

I work in a library. When you come in with a faint memory of a cover and a whisper of a plot, I don’t panic—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.

#library #booksky #librarymagic

The library feels like magic because someone trained to make it that way.
When you come in unsure of a title or plot, I turn chaos into clarity.
Not because I know everything.
But because I work for the spark. Every time.

#library #booksky

Libraries are enchanted spaces and librarians are wizards. Not all-knowing, just really good at research, problem-solving, and pretending we didn’t just Google that faster than you.

#library #booksky

I didn’t choose the goblin life.
The library book cart rolled past me like a siren on wheels, and I said, “I’ll take five.”
Libby said “Your hold is ready,” and I blacked out.
KU said “You might also like…” and I did.

#booksky #reader

Other pet names he calls me are:
"Dazzling little bog sprite"
"Cryptid queen"
"Feral forest wife"
"My chaos creature"
"My beloved disaster"
"My swamp-dwelling menace"
"Literary cryptid"

Authors feel free to use any of the above

My partner calls me his “feral little gremlin” and “emotional support cryptid” and I just think romance books need to stop pretending everyone’s being called “baby” when ✨goblin queen✨ is right there

Hate how you grow up and no one is impressed with how many books you can read over the summer. No Book It! personal pan pizzas, no free movie tickets, no popcorn parties in the gym while everyone else is stuck in class. Adulthood is a joke!

I've read a lot so far this summer and no one has even asked about my stats! 😒

#booksky #reader

I said I was going to be “productive” today.
Instead, I started reading at 8am and now it’s…whatever time it is when you’re crying over a book character who deserved better.
Oops.

#sorrynotsorry #booksky #reader

Do I have plans this weekend?
Yes.
☑️ Rotate between reading positions like a cryptid on a couch
☑️ Let audiobooks narrate my chores and my inner monologue
☑️ Pretend the outside world doesn’t exist
☑️ Devour indie fantasy and sob over paperbacks

#booksky

Now is your chance to up your goal and keep going to see how far you surpass it this year! So excited for you!

I went to the library “just to return a book.”
I opened Libby to “just check my holds.”
I scrolled KU for “just a quick peek.”
Now I have 3 audiobooks, 7 ebooks, and a stack of library books taller than my will to do laundry.
This weekend? I'm reading like my life depends on it!
#booksky #reader

The sun is out.
The world is loud.
But my kindle is fully loaded and my fan is on high.
I shall remain in my crypt, devouring indie books like a literature-starved gremlin.
Do not summon me unless it’s for snacks.
