The cover of The Genie Game by Jordan Ifueko. A young Black teenager with long braids and a purple beret stands in front of a brightly coloured LA with a green sky, throwing coloured blobs in the air.
Just started reading an arc The Genie Game by Jordan Ifueko and I am hooked. It reminds me of a middle grade Octavia Butler.
Disclosure: I've been lucky enough to read an early copy to review.

Congratulations!
A black and white production photo from the original Broadway production of Kiss Me, Kate in which a woman is looking defiantly out while a man kisses another woman's hand behind.
Ahhhh! It's live. I'm so excited to share the cover of my first book with @academic.oup.com which is coming out in August! Get ready for all the Kiss Me, Kate facts in the coming weeks and months.

A copy of Outdrawn: A Rivals to Lovers Romance by Deanna Grey sits on a sofa, cover up. Two young Black women stand back to back.
I have wanted a copy of this for literal years, so excited that my other half surprised me with it today.
Can't wait to get stuck in.

Good morning, everyone. Group hug! ❤️
Photo: The Artemis II crew after they looped around the far side of the moon and started for home. ABC news.
The Other Bennett Sister book and TV adaptation are more like cousins than twins, but I am obsessed with both.

The a photo of the cover of A Girl Like Her by Talia Hibbert. It is a pink cover with painted flowers floating around the title
A Girl Like Her by Talia Hibbert!
a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️⚧️

This is in the final stretch! There's so many cool items, please take a look
A hand holds up a book held open. On one side, a list of content warnings are shown. On the other side is an illustrated map of a small town with individually labelled buildings and other features
Two of my favourite things in books:
-Content warnings (yes please, especially as a PTSD girly)
-Illustrated maps of small towns (adorable, cosy, helps me imagine the setting)

The cover page for A Girl Like Her, which shows an author's signature which reads Talia H
Just opened the latest book from Talia Hibbert which I pre-ordered from my local indie bookshop and I've noticed it's signed!
Always finding more reasons indie bookshops are the best.

Thank you #booksky for being so ready and willing to use the sapphic label to describe books instead of defaulting to lesbian when the identities of the characters are unknown.
It really makes me seen as a bi person, especially one who doesn't tend to date men. 😊
Maryam and Sham, two young girls, standing in rubble in Gaza
For International Women’s Day, I want to highlight one of the most courageous women I have ever known, Alaa
Alaa is the mother of 2 beautiful daughters. They live in Gaza. I’ve been trying to help them for nearly 2 yrs. Our donations are keeping them alive
I’ll keep trying. Donation link in my bio
I LOVE the cover and can't wait to read it!
I totally agree! So cool!
Like Audre Lorde said in a commencement address, “Every day of our lives is practice in becoming the person you want to be.”
The cover of Ignore All Previous Instructions by Ada Hoffman
A space heist to steal from an AI company with queer neurodivergent rebellion throughout!
I had a great time reading this for early review, and my favourite part was seeing an autistic character where more stigmatised parts of our condition was left in.

Absolutely! I was a child who loved the library and then got late fees I couldn't afford to pay so just never went back. So glad my area have got rid of them!
This is your sign to talk to friends about your local library!
I spoke to a friend recently who didn't realise it was free for adults to sign up and also didn't know that there are no late charges at our local library. It's now on her list to check it out.

The cover of The Match by Sarah Adams. A blonde white woman is walking a golden retriever with a service coat on towards a tall blonde white man.
It's rare that we get a romance with epilepsy and service dog rep, and toxic parents to boot.
The Match by Sarah Adams was easygoing and full of Southern charm.

The cover of The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst It shows a little cosy ramshackle inn, the foreground filled with flowers. There is a strange purple mist surrounding the building.
This is the cosy I need right now after staying informed on the latest world and national events.
A teenager flees to her great-aunt's quirky B&B to heal from an awful break up and finds it even stranger and warmer than she first imagined.
[Gifted e-arc]

The cover of Unapologetic Love Story by Elle McNicoll
I'm having a shitty evening of not being able to go somewhere cause I'm disabled and the place isn't accessible.
But then I opened this book which feels like it is so frankly written for me to understand more than others because I'm disabled. Made me feel a little better.

A photo of a poem. It reads: Tadpoles A tadpole doesn't know it's gonna grow bigger. It just swims, and figures limbs are for frogs People don't know the power they hold. They just sing hymns, and figure saving is for god.
A photo of the cover of Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns by Andrea Gibson. It has a photo of a white wooden church collapsing.
Started reading my first poetry collection of the year: my first Andrea Gibson, and I'm already sure it won't be my last.

The cover of More Like Enemigas by Stephanie Hope. It shows two Latina women standing in front of a lake. One is wearing a shirt and apron and glares openly at the other who is in an elegant dress.
Starting my first @netgalley.bsky.social e-arc of the year with flirting between more than a few women and family drama all over.
On a reading roll, and this kind of intrigue and chemistry is perfect to keep me going.
I received this e-arc to honestly review

I say this often but it bears repeating: if you make your money from creating art then you NEED to find an art or craft where you just do it for fun and don't try to be perfect or make any money from it, and when anyone tells you to monetise it you say 'No', because otherwise your soul will die.
The cover of The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava
The snowballing white lie is usually a trope I can't enjoy cause it stresses me out too much.
So far though, The Truth According to Ember is the exception. It's charming and messy in a human, realistic way.
If you haven't read any Danica Nava yet, make this your year! #diversebooks
