I tariffed my cat and now I have to give 135 more pets per purr

The front dust jacket art of the first edition, of the Great Gatsby with a paining known as Celestial Eyes. White text. Blue background. A pair of sad eyes hover in the sky over a bright yellow-lit cityscape.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of “The Great Gatsby”

I’m all for celebrating with a jazz-age soirée, but given the current moment, let’s also honor F Scott Fitzgerald’s work by thinking about how unregulated wealth, casual racism & convenient fatalism color the American dream.

As long as I’m enjoying them, it doesn’t matter how long the book is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Book Review: Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife Greetings, adventurers, welcome back to the library! Happy April! I know this post is late (since I try to post on Tuesday/Thursday). But I'm here! I'm coming at your today with another book review. Thanks to NetGalley I recently got to read a really fun ARC. If DnD, Baldur's Gate, and Legends and Lattes are right up your alley, …

Better late than never - my review of Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife! A fun, high fantasy read about an undead orc forced into retirement!

You Should Ditch GoodReads in 2025 Greetings, adventurers, welcome back to the library! If you aren't part of bookish spaces, then you might not know that a big shadow is looming over all of us. Once upon a time, Barnes and Noble was the Big Bad of the bookish space. Pushing out Borders along with small mom-and-pops stores. However, we now have a new contender. Amazon. It currently holds over 50% of book sales and…

Amazon is trying to create a monopoly on books and book tracking. Here's an amazing alternative to leave Amazon in the dust! #StoryGraph #Booksky

I have had such a bad migraine since I went to bed last night 😭

Series Rec: The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster Greetings, adventurers, welcome back to the library! During the depths of my reading slump, I never thought I’d read another long series again. Nothing was appealing to me. There were no books that could pry me away into their pages. Until last year, when I finally picked up a book again (and decided to make it my entire personality). I talk a lot about…

I physically couldn't read this series fast enough. I absolutely LOVE it and recommend it for any fantasy reader! The Lord of Stariel series is Howl's Moving Castle meets Bridgerton! #booksky #bookrec

I will never understand why reading a book or being on my phone in the car makes me nauseous. Meanwhile I can read on my kindle just fine??? #makeitmakesense

The Big Five songs that have inspired Scarlet Cross. As you can see, I’ve been super into The Beaches. #booksky📚🦋 #writing

I was SO excited to get accepted to read this on #NetGalley! I have a more in depth review over on my blog — link in bio ❤️ #booksky🦋📚 #bookblogger #ABotanistsGuide #KateKhavari

I definitely don’t go through my TBR list as often as I should. I only do it if I come across a book I realize I’m no longer into and do it just for the one.

I got approved for more #NetGalley books than I thought I would. I’m not complaining, but I might be putting a small pause on my reading challenge. But as long as I hit my 25 book goal for the year 🤷🏼‍♀️ #booksky🦋📚

Thought it would be fun to look up 1⭐️ reviews for books on my TBRA, it was a lot of fun! I have a full video up on my channel. #smallyoutuber #SixofCrows #LeighBardugo #booksky🦋📚 #booktuber #bookblogger #booktok

There is something therapeutic about remembering you can write your drafts however you want. I used to write fanfics like this sometimes and it has helped SO much with my drafting process.

My goal this year is to read 25 books - doubling the number of novels I read last year!

Book Rec: The Tangleroot Palace by Marjorie Liu Greetings, adventurers, welcome to the library! If you watched my recent YouTube video, you'll know that short stories are near and dear to my heart. I love reading and writing them. But I actually didn't purchase my first collection of short stories until 2022. It's a book I even got the audiobook to; Cathrine Ho is a phenomenal narrator. She breathed so much life into the stories, not to mention her voice was soothing.

Been thinking about trying an animation project for a while, but I’ve never 2D animated - the entire thing seemed so daunting. I watched some tutorials today, using Clip Studio Paint to animate actually seems less frustrating than I thought it’d be. #artsky #artist #clipstudiopaint

5 Amazing Movies Written and Directed by Women Greetings, adventurers, I am Whisper - welcome back to the library! March is Women's History Month! It just didn't seem right to let this month come and go without talking a little about it. We recently passed International Women's Day, which falls on March 8th. I didn't even realize, but all of my posts this month have been about books and novellas by women!

YouTube video by Whisper Can Writing Fanfiction Help You Craft Better Short Stories?

I 100% believe that fanfiction helps building your writing skills. I wouldn't be the writer I am today without it. #booksky #writesky #aspiringauthor

My most read has been horror — which was partially by design.
