Books I’ve Read in 2025 (a real time thread) #booksky #booktok

1. The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland. A haunting and new take on the vampire story. We get to bounce between Anna’s past experiences as a vampire and her current story set in the 1980s. Her love of humanity is heartbreaking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thankfully I left that career path behind so it’s been a lovely distraction from my professional stress

I just got off in May after over a year of waiting! Slowly but surely it’ll happen

I’m really glad it kept the UK cover because I prefer it to the US edition

Maybe Katabasis will take away the anxiety about going back to work #booksky #katabasis

If you have never planned an event before, do not decide your first event will be a convention. Planning any event is hard but planning a bookish convention is going to be exponentially harder. I say this as someone who’s worked in the industry for years at venues #booksky #onceuponacon

I just realized I’ve worked 8 days in a row and now me being on the verge of a crashout makes a lot more sense

My fiancé did not appreciate me telling him that book Stuart Little is actually a human boy that looks like a little mouse and was born to a human family #booksky

Happy Release Day to Lord of Ruin by @kmenright.bsky.social!! I’m 75% through and it absolutely lives up to the bar Mistress of Lies set. If you’re looking for a dark, sexy, bloodbath of a vampire series with a trio of morally grey protagonists, The Age of Blood is for you. #booksky #bookreview

Time to read about my favorite morally grey polyam trio. Still confused that @netgalley.bsky.social and @orbitbooks.bsky.social gave me an e-ARC of my most anticipated sequel this year by @kmenright.bsky.social #booksky #lordofruin #netgalley #ARC #eARC

How the fuck did I get approved for an e-arc of Wild Reverence? #booksky

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · Jul 21

Working in the events industry while seeing multiple bookish convention controversies is such an interesting overlap of my professional knowledge and my hobbies #booksky

The new Superman being only two years older than me is a really specific indicator of me getting older. Never in my life has a Superman been my age.

My commute to work today was so long because of whatever rail issues Metro was having. Got on at 8:12 and didn’t get off till 9:45. Normally like a 30 min trip 😑😑😑 #booksky #metro #washingtondc

Finally broke through my reading slump & finished A Treachery of Swans by @abporanek.bsky.social. An absolutely mesmerizing take on Swan Lake. I might be biased since it’s one of my favorite ballets & Barbie movies but this was so good. Full of mystery, friendship, & gay longing #bookreview #booksky

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · May 29

I’m hoping a @netgalley.bsky.social ARC of one of my most anticipated reads of the year can fix my reading slump. I’m so excited to get to read A Treachery of Swans early @simonteen.bsky.social @abporanek.bsky.social #booksky #bookreview #netgalley #arc #advancedreadercopy
