“Tyranny is Tyranny let it come from whom it may”

After the Declaration of Independence was read and men were drafted for war, the rich started buying their way out of the draft. The poor were forced to serve. This was what they chanted in the streets. From: A People’s History of the United States

I’ve had a few people ask in my comments and yes I am reading the sequel to Blood at the Root. My initial review was… not great. But I have high hopes for the sequel.

You can watch my review to get an idea why I didn’t like it ⬇️

I’m reading Love is a War Song and my cheeks hurt from how much I am genuinely smiling. The banter? Top tier. The jokes? Top tier. THE AUDIOBOOK NARRATION??? I am literally ascending omg.

Also…I get the hype around cowboys now… #booksky

Just finished reading The Maze Runner and now that I think about it…I read very few books with men🧍‍♀️

Genuine question: what are some popular books out right now that have male protagonists? I’m trying to see something…

I have been a member of online book spaces for a little over a year now and can confidently say that THREADS IS THE CRAZIEST OMG

AUTHORS DIRECTLY CALLING EACH OTHER OUT??? PEOPLR ARE SCREAMING????

that platform is literally a dumpster fire and I love it

Now when he said there’s a huge twist in this book I did NOT know he meant EARTH SHATTERING CLIFFHANGER REVEAL ON THE VERY LAST PAGE ADAM HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME

imagine my surprise when I heard the end credits 🫠 #booksky #tbdate3

Not to be a conspiracy theorist but does it seem weird to anyone that a NYT bestselling series that just so happens to include LGBTQ+ characters is not available at my library?

Oh, and right the Trump admin cut funding for libraries? 🤔

This publishes tomorrow btw #booksky

a very good feeling is getting a book from the library that you were considering purchasing and then finishing it and thinking "that sucked ass, i'm so glad i get to give this shit back"

Guys until Bonds of Hercules comes out I think Fearless is going to be my worst read of 2025. I’m only 15% done and it’s insufferable.

It’s rotting my brain so much the first book almost seems good in comparison

Even though I guessed what was going to happen - it was still infuriating. This went from laughably bad to a genuine crock of shit way too quickly and it genuinely ruined my day 🫠 #booksky

Just realized that I can’t make a video about a book I LOVED because it was published under Wednesday Books which is STILL UNDER BOYCOTT!

In case anyone forgot: St. Martin’s Press has been under a marketing boycott since 2023 for islamaphobic comments made by an employee. #speakupsmp

I’m FINALLY starting Oathbound and guys i’m scared books 1 and 2 were all told from Bree’s POV and now suddenly we have multiple POVs…

Divergent warned me about this if any of my favorite characters die i’m going to crash out.

I’m not 100% back to health but I decided to record a video so I apologize in advance if my voice doesn’t sound great 😭😭

Hopefully it’ll be up by the end of the week!

I normally struggle to read books that are longer than 15 hours but not with the Legendborn series.

These books are LONG but for a REASON. Each book has a good pace, it’s a balanced mix of plot and romance, and it never FEELS like a 20+ hour read. Tracy Deonn cracked the code for long books.

god Selwyn Kane has to be one of my favorite book characters of all time I LOVE THAT MAN UGHHH 😭😭😭😭 #legendborn #bloodmarked

Epic is making me want to read the Odyssey but I’m afraid I am simply too stupid to understand the Odyssey

As someone on booktok/booktube I refuse to review anything written by Sarah J. Maas or Rebecca Yarros.

Would it be easy money? Yes.

But SJM used the tragic murder of Breonna Taylor to promote her books and RY is a zionist.

No amount of money is worth platforming those people.

Just cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription 🎉🎉

totally unrelated but did you guys know that a Prime membership costs the same as a @libro.fm subscription 👀 Can’t wait to start listening to my new audiobooks 🤭

I’m slowly realizing that any book I’ve ever read is in some way inspired by Greek myths/history.

Why, after over a DECADE, did I find out JUST NOW that The Hunger Games follows the story of Theseus and the Minotaur 😃

I just have to read more Greek literature starting with The Odyssey 😌
