I love when an incredible book makes its way around a friend group. One of my favorite reads of the year was suggested by one friend and it’s now also been read and loved by two others in our circle #booksky

Usually when I’m on vacation, I don’t get any reading done. I’m either out and about or too tired to concentrate. This time, I’m finding little moments to read and it’s helping me wind down a bit #booksky

I read every day, usually in the evenings. I try to set my phone down (or try not to open other apps when reading an ebook) to varying levels of success #booksky #BookishQOTD

One of my favorites is Beautiful Things by Emily Rath. I love the strength in the FMC pushing back against societal expectations and acting on what she wants #bookvember #booksky

During a girls’ weekend, a friend gave me more book-themed stickers. Too pretty to use! #booksky

Recently read my 100th book of 2025. Will be curious to see how many I end up finishing by the end of the year #booksky

I’ve definitely been feeling underpaid lately 😅 #booksky #library

Tonight I reserved a place for a weekend book retreat with friends. Just the three of us in a random city, in a cute little loft, with some books on our TBRs. The countdown starts now #booksky

All I want to do is read, responsibilities be damned #booksky

Read a book.

Read another book.

And then read some more.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Some people stop reading a book before the final chapter because they don’t want it to end. Conversely, today I set down a book for a couple hours because I didn’t care about what might happen next #booksky

This month I “only” finished eight books, which is the lowest per month total that I’ve read since July 2023. Really I’m a nerd for my reading stats and am just happy I found time to read at all #booksky

💙📚 Someone asked me this today, and it STRESSED ME OUT enough to make this handy graphic that I will save on my phone so that this travesty of a conversation never happens again.

Moving this weekend. Adding more bookshelves to my new place so I no longer have to store half my books as piles in the corner of my living room 🤦🏻‍♀️ #booksky

Spending the weekend in NYC and saw a great reminder for this Pride month and every month #booksky #library

Overheard some high schoolers talking at the #library the other day.

Teen 1: where do you read, wattpad or AO3?
Teen 2: fan fiction dot net

And so the tradition continues 😊

Need to get the wrinkles out of one of my favorite library-themed shirts. Happy Pride! #booksky

No matter how you pronounce it, I hope you come visit your local library often #booksky

Weeding my personal bookshelves is so much harder than weeding my library’s collection #booksky

Finally getting around to reading two books that I kept pushing out on my #library holds list since last year. Here’s hoping they don’t disappoint #booksky

51% through a book on Libby and 27 hours until it’s due. I’ve never cut things so close 😅 #booksky #library

These book-themed stickers are so cute! #booksky

My urge to regularly place library and Libby books on hold wars with my anxiety over the ticking clock of due dates #booksky
