Tired.
They raised us with this book as required reading. I never imagined we'd see the early stages of this happening in my lifetime, yet here we are.

I'm so glad I found you here. TikTok isn't the same and I've always appreciated your advice and wisdom there.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

I haven't deleted it, but I have left Meta. I think my goal of reading 40 books this year just doubled.

It's such a great app! Happy to have made the change!

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.
