@jensafrey.bsky.social Your book was the balm I needed in 2025! A wild ride with the righteous anger, grace, and determination that only women over 50 can truly muster. So proud to be signed at Sibylline Books alongside authors like you! #booksky

A good friend recommended this to me—actually put it in my hands and said, “I got this for you.” How often do we do that for people? I should do that more. At any rate, a beautiful look at professional obsession and the lives of anthropologists in the ‘30s. Recommend! #booksky #margaretmead

So: not only is this a should-read—-it’s also a must-read. Tons of information I did not know, and it’s so well-paced and well-written at the sentence level that it never feels like a chore. Highly recommend, especially In These Difficult Times. #booksky

When your vacation spent reworking a manuscript and getting your oldest ready for college drop-off, needs must be met. #summer #caffeine #writingcommunity

I enjoyed this page turner very much! The dialogue sometimes felt flat, but the characters were believable and their motivations clear. Good summer read 🌞 #booksky

This one was a present and not one I might’ve chosen, but it was diverting and well-researched #historicalfiction. Good summer read! #booksky

Another #translation that is spare and opaque. A slow beginning, to be sure, but then it’s a combination travelogue and thriller. Well worth the reconsideration it’s receiving. #booksky

This translation is spare and devastating. Exquisitely crafted, and a book in which you wish the narrator had more to say. #booksky #translation

Dishy dishy dishy! Lean into the #fiction part of #historicalfiction and enjoy the dialogue without worrying if it’s too hard on the principals. Loved! #booksky

Read this now! Such fun #agathachristie vibes, and a fun cast of characters with no clunkers in the mix. #booksky

Such a beautiful and timely look at a lesser understood part of the Holocaust. Requires a rethinking of who we might consider “complicit” without completely understanding their circumstances. Highly recommend! #booksky

Finally took my turn with this goodie. I found it more of a slow burn than expected, but I loved the story and learned a bit more about #mythology . Recommend if you’re one of the few, like me, who had this on the #tbr for a shamefully long time. #booksky

What, you don’t like to lie on a giant fluffy pillow on top of a comfy leather chair while listening to Thunder Road followed by The 1? #dogsofbluesky #skydogs

Just. Delightful. If the Golden Girls were actually highly trained, semi-retired assassins. Smart dialogue, well built characters. Get a a little on the cozy side with all the food descriptions, but I guess that tracks the Golden Girls vibe as well. Great #summerread! #booksky

#booksky I had HIGH hopes for this one. I can’t recommend based on the quality of dialogue, which, to my ears, doesn’t sound like anyone talks to anyone.

I’m kind of over women making psycho heel turns and going after other women for jealousy. Also lost me on the ending, which doesn’t stick. #booksky

Ever wonder what it feels like to do the right thing even when your community tells you not to? This is a great book to read for that firsthand perspective. Just in case you might need that sort of thing sometime soon. #booksky

Goes to show that great storytelling resonates with everyone, even if the intended audience is YA. Such a great addition to this canon; I’m glad Haymitch got his story told. #Booksky #hungergames
