RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

I love my library.

If you've never gotten a library card before, do it now. Even if you don't intend to use it, librarians will need all the support they can get for the foreseeable future.

They're an invaluable community resource of literature and far more.

The vibes I bring to the function are high and ready to talk about reality tv and dogs. I’m going to ask if you have a library card and what show you’re watching #booksky #books #vibes

I’m reading Not In Love by Ali Hazelwood and idk how to explain that I simultaneously love and am irritated by AH’s writing #booksky #books #booktok

Just finished Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange. I thought it was beautiful. Like There There, I was amazed at the picture he could paint through so many different characters and in this case time periods. Still sitting with what I read #booksky #books

One of my favorite things about The Duke Heist, and there are many, was the book club the women started and named “Ladies of Lusty Literature Book Coven.” Iconic. #booksky #booktok #historicalromance

Reading my first Erica Ridley book got me thinking of my other historical romance author firsts. The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare, Rebel by Beverly Jenkins, Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore. I could go on!!! What was your first book by your favorite author?

Booktoker here trying to find my people ✌🏻 I’m a library girl whose only reading goal is to read diversely. I love all romance but historical is my fave, I read a little bit of everything, I’m very serious about book tracking. Let’s be friends
