CR: assassin's apprentice

i still basically dont exist but seeing ppl calling the knight and the moth slowburn makes me feel wilddddd. like wdym. have we forgotten what slowburn is. is this just bc i dont usually read romance and have fanfic brain sometimes?? slowburn???? slowburn???

do you have any idea how hard it is to read vengeful (even tho i loved vicious with my entire heart) when zhz exists. i cant believe how long it's taking me
(trying to read vengeful again now, since i enjoyed the first book so much and it was a soft dnf for me last year. but the call of zhenhuanzhuan... putting me onto an 83 episode cdrama is a crime. im only 22 in still.)

i know i am incredibly late to the party with this, and im sure most everyone on #booksky has already either already read most ardently, or at minimum already heard of it. but i want to take a small moment to talk about this book and the way it touched me as a nonbinary person. 🧵

i absolutely DEVOURED most ardently. im not a big romance reader-- it just doesnt do anything for me personally. but most ardently was something special for my heart. i think i need to read more queer romance...

finished how to become the dark lord and die trying. i cannot remember a book ive read in the last few years that i hated more, omfg.

time for another episode of apothecary diaries s2 to wind down lmao

after that it's prolly either more zhenhuanzhuan or maybe starting mononoke... (and then back to my cr that im wading through)

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

Please listen to Sam and leave your screen name and bio in regular text. 🙏
Friendly reminder that your fancy font text in screen names and bios is a nightmare for screen readers, and if you won't sit and listen to what it sounds like to them, don't make blind people / people with low vision do it. Get rid of it.

It's also hard on people with low vision who DON'T use 'em.

When TikTok comes back from the dead, know that it is a reanimated corpse.

Changes have been made. Get VERY CLEAR on those changes as you go back into now tainted waters.

anyway, current update on what im reading. 🫠
January 19, 2025 at 6:38 PM
even if somehow, by some magic, we are fully back... i think i want to curate this space. this is a really good lesson for me in relying on a single place. #booksky

CLICKED THE APP OUT OF HABIT WHY AM I BACK IN THE BUILDING. what is happening. why do i have access to tiktok.
January 19, 2025 at 6:04 PM
i think one of the most difficult things for me to stomach in the current transition from #booktok to #booksky (and #booktube) is understanding that there are some lovely people whose recommendations i enjoyed that i will simply never find again, because i refuse to use ig.

New here from tiktok? Familiarize yourself with alt text! The culture on here is that many people won't repost images if you don't include alt text.
Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

i dont know how active i'll be here, but i wanted to make a backup space to my (mostly defunct, if im being honest) tiktok to share reviews, book journal entries, and see what other people in the community think about books i loved (or hated). 🤎
