Very possible, though he seemed to be as confused about the situation as I was! 🤣
Two miles into a canyon hike when I cross paths with a man in flipflops, Starbucks in hand, no hiking gear, and... Sir, how did you get here??
You really have to remember the general hiker when reading trail reviews because "we had to cross a river" means something significantly different when written by experience hikers versus people from Chicago out on a weekend jaunt.
PSA : 3" water is not "a river."
Happy Friday, #BookSky!
Moby Dick... in space? Ishara Ming's chasing a legend nobody believes in. Except her. She's seen this great space whale herself, right before it killed her whole crew.

We have been waiting in this coffee line for 15 minutes. How do you not know what to order?
Happy Friday, #BookSky!
If you're looking to escape from everyday life for a little bit, come visit THE FARAWAY INN! It's just a little B&B in Vermont... or is it?

Thanks so much for the review copy @tashidiaz.bsky.social!
Happy Friday, Book Friends!

When you replace an algorithm with AI and now all the "top news" stories are weird garbage 🙃
This whole job hunting thing is driving me insane, I swear.
Finally getting an in-person interview just for them to say, "Oh, yeah, we filled that position you applied for. But here, answer a series of questions for an entirely different position you are in no way prepared to answer, and we'll see!"
Happy Friday, Book People!
If you're looking to unplug from the digital realm, maybe do it alongside Elena Ok! It's not exactly her plan for the summer, but she doesn't have a choice in Grace K. Shim's THE OKS ARE NOT OK.

Rebranding everything as "AI" is such disingenuous nonsense. Spellcheck is *not* AI. You *know* that's not what anti-AI people mean. Be so for real.
Hey, but nothing beats those rare times that you actually know which red book they're talking about 😂
Love what I do but some days...
Customer: I bought this book at Christmas. I need a refund.
Me: We don't sell that book, and our return policy is 30 days.
Customer: No, you don't understand. I BOUGHT THIS BOOK AT CHRISTMAS AND NEED A REFUND.
ME: ... no.
Happy Friday, #BookSky!
Eli is fine. That's what he keeps telling his therapist. Sure, he's numb inside, and he's missing months of memory. But that's definitely *fine* in Josh Silver's #SciFi ERASE ME.

Some random: "I can't believe Public Figure would do something so awful"
First comment: "Who??"
Some random: "I don'f want to say. Just trust me they're awful 🫤"
Happy almost-spring, #BookSky!
Our world is thawing, but in THE DANGER OF SMALL THINGS, the bees are gone. All the pollinators are, too. And resources are scarce in this end-times #dystopia.

PLEASE DEAR GOD NO MORE BANJO.
- the desperate roommate of someone who just took up playing the banjo
(It's me. I am the roommate.)
"Favorite Save Locations" and it is the OneDrive that I never use and am not signed into. 👀
Got rejected from a job I didn't even apply to, so everything is awesome.
That urge to call out of work so you can read your boooook
Some people act like retaliation/getting pushed out in retail ONLY means getting hours slashed.
Sometimes it means giving somebody so much work (and giving management time off) that the worker has no choice but to fail or burnout.
Transfemme Dorian Gray, anybody? If you're looking for a retelling that really captures the atmosphere of the classic, check out Elle Grenier's THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY. Gothic, unsettling, and very queer.
Anyway, #BookSky, my full review: gatewaybookreviews.blogspot.com/2026/02/this...
Staring at my cactus trying to figure out if it wants water
BookTok is all "if you liked Heated Rivalry, you'll *love* Icebreaker"
And I think we might be missing a crucial detail here...
"Looks like you're logging in from a new device."

Happy Friday, #BookSky!
On the lookout for some good #Fantasy to add to your TBR this year? You'll get flashy magic, bloody duels, cameras and lights in Andrea Tang's TO THE DEATH - I'd highly recommend!
