Book dragon logic:

I need to stop buying books so I can save up to go on a book buying spree!

Threads has finished their pilot for ads and is starting to roll them out more broadly 🙄

So, if you suddenly see another wave of newcomers, that would be why.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the bookish of them all? 📚

Me: This book is going to destroy you. Devastate you. You will never emotionally recover.

Also me: It is incredible, and you must read it.

Me: I will just listen to this audiobook for an hour to wind down before going to sleep.

Also me: *4 hours later at 3am when my headphones died* …oops.

Not even book mail and reading managed to give me a small burst of dopamine, which is just sacrilegious.

I keep trying to find my way back to my playful bookish and coffee posting, but I cannot seem to find the energy, creativity, or will to do much of anything outside of screaming into the void.

Thread’s algorithm hates me because I care about absolutely heinous things like basic human rights for everyone. I know, wild stuff.

Anyway, I will probably be posting here more because I refuse to stop being a book dragon who is quite passionate about DEI and the rights of my LGBTQ+ community.

We have progressed from much ado about nothing, to a comedy of errors, to a series of unfortunate events, and now we are sitting squarely in a little shop of horrors.

So, is there like a 14-day return policy or anything? Can we return him for a full refund?

George Orwell would be so disappointed in us right now.

I just…don’t even have anything to say today other than, I hate it here.

I want to go back to the timeline where Fruit of the Loom had a cornucopia and we had the Berenstein Bears. Maybe it had a better trajectory.

A warm welcome to all the Booktok refugees joining this week.

I created these lists originally for Bookthreads, but some in the lists were also Booktok creators and users. I hope these can help you find some of your friends!

I did in fact choose read…today me wishes yesterday me had chosen sleep 😅
To sleep or to read, that is the question.

I've seen a few comments where people didn't realise I'd completed The Cruel Gods series, probably because I wasn't on Twitter when I released the third and final one 😂 But here they are! The complete trilogy!

You can even buy them! Yes! Please do, my rent is going up 🤣

My cat mocks me as I work so she can live comfortably.

“How have you read so many books already? It is only two weeks into the year.”

Because we are living in the dark timeline and I avoid spending any more time in reality than is absolutely necessary.

Nobody warned me that there would still be group projects in courses at the master’s degree level 😑

🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our recommendation post for the next RAD renewal! Renewals will process on January 15th!

Here are twenty books that we think also fit the February theme of Courting the Fae. 🧵
