“Libraries 📚 literally aren't just a place to obtain books for free.
They're one of the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without the expectation of spending money.”

~Amanda Killiar

Forgot my Kindle so I’ll have to read my locker book on my break - When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill. It’s been on my TBR forever so good excuse to start!

Forgot my Kindle. I’ll have to read my backup book on my lunch break, which is sort of exciting. I’ve been meaning to start it for ages.

I was an English teacher a few years back, and this was a form reader for year 9 students.
Side note: if anyone bans a book, read it and see what all the fuss was about.

The corporate lunch break ™️ #BookSky #currentlyreading

New #currentread #cr is #Bunny by #MonaAwad. Little bit scared as I know it’s a booktok book and that isn’t really my vibe 😅 great so far though! #booksky

Smashed this in two days, in case anyone is wondering!

Nice trip out this evening to see the new Schwartzman centre at Oxford Uni (my sister @sophielibrary.bsky.social is part of the library team)! Had to say hi to my pal Tolkien, of course.

Reading wrap up for September. First month using #Fable, it’s definitely better than Goodreads!

It’s horrifying to see this in real time and how quickly people abandon their morals.
Some people who grew up and still say never again. The irony.

Yuck. Hope you’re feeling okay now.

I love a book club, so I’ve joined a digital one. This read is for the Blood Stains & Bookmarks club on Fable. fable.co/club/blood-s... #booksky #bookclub #fable

Just signed my daughter up to the baby bear “the bear can read” club. Can’t wait to try those books out at bedtime tonight! #oxforduniversitypress #thebearcanread #babybear #booksky

She loves the zoo pasta!!!

The film, of course…. She’s a joy!

And ours too of course. Birthday twins! Happy 14 months! Misery, the dog, and some red 😂

We’re still at the incredibly early stages as my daughter is 14 months. I used to teach English in secondary schools (high schools) though, and it’s a wonder to see even at this age!

It’s spa day 🧖‍♀️my friend booked a facial for me for my birthday with a cream tea to follow. Feeling truly spoilt!

Noooo! Honestly forgetting to charge headphones is a real struggle.

Hey, I’m 30 and love reading fantasy, ACNH, and general cozy vibes. Bring on the autumn weather 🍂🧣🧦

If you do fable, and like horror, fantasy, sci-fi, literary fiction etc, let’s be friends there. And here. fable.co/lottie-14429... #booksky #fable

Early to bed with a book is the best way to spend an evening. I’m really enjoying this one. #BookSky

Currently my favourite bit of the day. Being cosy with this one before her bedtime.

Amazing! My family were Didcot/Wantage way. I have the white horse from Uffington tattooed on my arm because it always feels like home.

Chalk downs and ridgeway as in UK? If not, I’m wondering it it was named for the ones I know!

Hello world. I’ve deleted most socials recently and I’m hoping this one is better. Anyone out there?
