Amiable I‘d love to do something like this but my phobia of snakes recoils from the idea. 😬😀 2w

MaleficentBookDragon @Amiable 😹 I actually could never make a bookWORM because they gross me out so much. I‘d rather a snake any day. Crazy 🤪 right? 2w

Amiable @MaleficentBookDragon We all have our own phobias! 😄 2w

HeyT I'm also making a book snake this year. Unfortunately, I'm like twenty books behind. I think I'm going to go to my local library's knitting circle to try and catch up. 1w

A Passion for Books | Terry W. Glaspey

pick

This little book reminds us of all the joy that books bring. We buy them and neglect them. We read them, touch them, turn their pages while letting our eyes glance at the fonts. We share them, we recommend them. Some, ban them, and are willingly deprived of these joys. Filled with quotes and memories, the author shares their love affair with books and makes us feel that familiar magic on every page. Shown: a true story mentioned in the book!⬇️

JenniferEgnor Reported by NYT. I think we can agree that this isn‘t too shabby of a death! 2w

Suet624 I‘m really hoping not to suffer this fate. It remains to be seen. 2w

Getting back into my #audiocrochet habit lately. I've missed combining two of my favourite things, reading and crocheting 📚 🧺 ❤️

KadaGul Work has been hectic lately, and balancing work and life feels like a distant dream. 1mo

ShyBookOwl @KadaGul I'm sorry. It is very hard to balance responsibilities and fun/hobbies. Hang in there! 1mo

Sace I‘ve been trying to do the same. Even if it‘s just a short chapter a day. By the time it cools off here my socks (knit) and cardigan (crochet) will be done. 1mo

ShyBookOwl @Sace That's perfect timing! 1mo

Queer Books | Edmund Pearson

#lgbtqia2025 @Kenyazero

Just need a Latinx author or rep to complete the card!

Any recommendations Litsy??

I enjoy mostly science fiction and literary fiction, things I don‘t enjoy are young adult and romance - but find queer books with it more tolerable 😛.

ChaoticMissAdventures If you like YA I highly recommend anything by Aiden Thomas. I have enjoyed all his books Cemetery Boys might be my favorite. I have been meaning to read The Town of Babylon that a friend keeps recommending. Or I loved this one

Cantoras: A Novel

1mo

Kitta @ChaoticMissAdventures oh my friend just recommended Cemetery boys and the Sunbearer Trials to me! Haha great minds. 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Kitta he is awesome! He lives in my hometown and I see him often at book events, just the nicest person 😍. But his books are very YA so just depends on your reading preferences. 1mo

monalyisha If you do audiobooks, I absolutely loved this one!

Clap When You Land

1mo

monalyisha Another option (which I read in print).

Juliet Takes a Breath

1mo

Kitta @ChaoticMissAdventures oh that‘s so cool! I‘m leaning towards Sunbearer trials, I‘m not a huge YA fan though so I‘ll have a look around at what else is out there as well. 1mo

Kitta @monalyisha I don‘t deal well with audio but I‘ll look into the other one! Thanks! 1mo

Kitta @monalyisha oh I own a copy of the Poet x. Maybe I should read that? 1mo

monalyisha That would work! The Poet X is my second favorite of hers (and it was my introduction to her writing). 💖 1mo

monalyisha I don‘t know how MUCH lgbtq rep there is, and I don‘t remember it being the focus, but it‘s not absent. 1mo

willaful I like a lot of Anna-Marie McLemore's books, especially When the Moon Was Ours.

When the Moon Was Ours

1mo

monalyisha Her other title that I mentioned exists in print, too. I just prefer her books as audio because she reads them herself. Clap When You Land has an additional narrator, as well, and The Poet X features spoken word poetry so it‘s cool to hear it as it was meant to be performed. But that‘s not to say that they wouldn‘t be enjoyable as hard copies! 1mo

lil1inblue I loved this.

The Sunbearer Trials

1mo

BookmarkTavern Chiming in to also recommend Aiden Thomas! Cemetery Boys and Lost in the Never Woods we‘re both great! 1mo

Liz_M Carmen Maria Machado? I loved In the Dream House. Cantoras by Carolina De Robertis was also good.
1mo

Kitta @monalyisha it can just be an LGBTQ author as well (is she LGBTQ?), it doesn‘t need to be the main focus so I‘ll probably read that! Thanks. 1mo

Kitta @lil1inblue oooh yes that look good thanks!! 1mo

Kitta @Liz_M oof Dream House sounds intense and I was in a queer abusive relationship until we spit during the pandemic. Might be too intense for me right now but I‘ll keep it in mind. It sounds really good. 1mo

Kitta @Liz_M wow Cantoras sounds amazing, added to the list! 1mo

Kitta @monalyisha good to know! I just suck at listening to audiobooks. I‘ve tried 3 times and either I hate the narrator, get lost and distracted or fall asleep. lol. 1mo

Kitta @willaful oh wow sounds interesting! Thanks for the rec! 1mo

willaful LOL, I just noticed you said you don't like YA and romance which of course is exactly what I recc'd. 🤦🏻‍♀️

1mo

Kitta @willaful haha its okay a lot of people skipped that part of the post and recommended YA and romance. I love getting input either way and will pass the suggestion on to one of my best friends who loves that stuff. 1mo

monalyisha @Kitta I‘m not sure! I know she‘s said, “Every single one of my books has a character who‘s queer, and their queerness isn‘t the point of that character. That isn‘t the only reason they‘re there. It‘s not a plot point. It‘s just that is the world and I try to give joy and full arcs for that.” 1mo

Kitta @monalyisha oh I like that though, not making queerness a plot point is important to me! I‘ll read it either way and decide if it counts for the LGBTQIA book bingo challenge when I‘m done. 1mo

Kenyazero 🤩 I hope some of these recs work for you! 1mo

Kitta @Kenyazero yes some should do! 1mo

Writing Book Reviews | John Eldridge Drewry

Chasing Books PR posted this on Instagram. I‘ve done a few of these things in my reviews before but not consistently. I‘ll have to remember to follow this formula for my book reviews. I have a hard time talking about books I enjoy. It‘s like my mind goes blank but maybe that hasn‘t always been true because with some books I‘ve enjoyed, I‘ve said more. I find I have a lot to say about books I don‘t like. Why am I like this?

Kristy_K I also have this problem. These are good prompts to help! 1mo
