Sunday reading plans #booksky

I read Claire Messud’s This Strange Eventful History over winter break and found it so compelling (couldn’t put it down). Thanks @littlebrownbooks.bsky.social via Netgalley for the review copy. You can read my full thoughts on Instagram here: www.instagram.com/p/DEueaITsuH...

Sharing my thoughts on each book I read this year and first up is Miriam Toews’ A Complicated Kindness. Although I feel like Toews’ writes similar variations of rebellious female characters I can’t help but fall in love with them. My heart broke for Nomi and Ray (and Trudie and Tash) 💔 #booksky

It was a beautiful sunny day to finally visit Hebden Bridge (have been wanting to visit ever since reading @junodawson.bsky.social ‘s Her Majesty’s Royal Coven) 🩷 #booksky #bookishsky

And that’s a wrap on 2024, thanks @thestorygraph.com for the brilliant graphics 🤩 some of my favourite reads include Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo, Ia Genberg’s The Details, Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon & Louise Erdrich’s The Round House #booksky #bookishsky

Had no idea It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over was about zombies until after I bought it (drawn in by the title and the fact that it’s a @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social publication - they can do no wrong). Usually hate anything with zombies but this was such a stunning, poetic and beautiful debut 💙

Hi #booksky here are some good-to-know things about me:

✨ I’m a former English teacher who now works in a library.
✨ I love reading literary fiction, nonfiction and poetry.
✨ I’m trying to get back into writing reviews on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/yasminerosereads

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!
