Me, chronically a necromancer.

The bestie made the mistake of doing a buddy read with me. I am an insufferable person to buddy read with, but at least I'm ✨funny✨

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Family includes everyone! ❤️

My cat wasn't available for photos this evening. I hope a chicken will do 🐓
She got a bath and is rather displeased about it.

On a bit of a writing break, spending my time reading and being crafty instead. The black and gold one has been in progress for ages, and is finally finished. Now onto the next.

📚Black Author Introduction Thread:

Introduce yourself:
•What genres do you write?
•Where can readers find your books?

Let’s celebrate and support Black voices in literature—drop your links, blurbs, or covers below!

Let’s go!!! ✊🏾

I’m begging authors, if you’re promoting your book or posting about a sale, don’t just tell me it’s available on Amazon (or wherever), include a link! Make it really easy for me to make an impulse purchase! #booksky

PSA: If you're chatting with an employee of a brick and mortar book store, PLEASE don't tell them you're going to buy the book they just spent 10 minutes helping you discover on Amazon. Yes, it may be cheaper, but you're basically using them as an Amazon showroom/extracting unpaid labor.

Nope. This is me, too 😅

PERVIS TO DEOGIE AND UNCLE: I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH You ARE MY TREASURE. PERFECT PERVIS TO REFLECTION: FOOL. NINCOMPOOP PERVIS TO DEOGIE AND UNCLE: DARLING ONES. PRECIOUS BABIES

Okay. If I did this correctly, this link will take you some of Black BookTok’s BEST and BRIGHTEST! I’ll continue to add more as I find them and/or as they join. 💛 #BlackBooksSky

Hello, hi.

I’ve made an inexhaustive starter pack of the bookish people I’ve found here so far 📚

How absolutely lovely it is to be inundated by bookish content.

How lovely it is to feel at home in a space again.

Writer here! Would love to be added ❤️

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Been here five seconds and already my feed is brilliant 🤌🏻

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
