Decided to open some Pokémon packs for the first time in awhile and I didn’t get anything good. Hopefully as time goes on they’ll gain in value.

I have been accidently hoarding a decent stack of graphic novels from my local library, and so I'm going to attempt to make a dent in them! Starting off with Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant Vol 1! #ComicBooks #MsMarvel #BingeReading #BookSky

That moment when all of your holds become available and now you're drowning in material. Plot Twist: You're going through a depressive spell and you're trying to decide if the book was actually 'meh' or if it's the depression talking. 😂

I’d rather be ignored than to be laughed at. Being ignored hurts less. #mentalhealth

I'm in the liminal space where my book is basically done but I have to wait until January until it's out in the world and I'm a wildly impatient person and it's driving me a bit batty.

I need to keep a list of authors I don't like or are hit/miss for me. I tried giving one author a second chance, and even though I still didn't like this other book of theirs, at least I didn't want to punch any of the characters because of how awful they are. #bookSky #AuthorsThatAreMeh

Easily one of my favorite books I’ve read in awhile! #bookreview

A review for the book “Where the Wolves Don’t Die” by Anton Treuer.

Review says “5/5⭐️ this was a fantastic read! The characters are likable, relatable, and change and grow. I would recommend this book for fans of Hatchet by Gary Paulson or My Side of the Mountain.”

Thank God for Books!

4-panel comic by War and Peas.
Panel 1: A witch lounges on a chaise, reading a book titled "Coven in the Woods." She says, "Oh man, it's so boring. Thank God for books."
Panel 2: The witch is still reclining, holding up a remote and says, "...and batteries." A charger is seen on the side table.
Panel 3: The witch walks down a spiral staircase, holding a bowl of popcorn. She says, "...and snacks."
Panel 4: The witch plays chess with a man in a dungeon cell. She says, "...and slaves in my dungeon. HEY, no cheating, Alfred!" The man, kneeling, responds, "Yes, mistress."

Hello fellow Blue Sky peeps! I run a blog called Elisha's Book Review. It's currently on pause due to ongoing mental health issues. I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety. So, I guess I'm just going to say "Hello" and maybe this will inspire me to pick the blog back up. #NewToBlueSky #Books
