I just finished it — I’ve never had a book literally stop me so I could sit and think. It was so good!

January Reading Wrap Up 🙌🏽 I set a goal to read 200 books this year and I’m a tenth of the way there. One series I should have DNF’d, but I was so close to the end. What were your top reads?? #booksky #bookcommunity #readingwrapup #januaryreads

Silent book club night and I finally had an hour of uninterrupted reading time 🥰 the other hour was spent chatting 🤭 #booksky #silentbookclub

Sign in the top left says “Shhhh… we are reading” and has flowers on either side; a glass of wine to the right of the sign and a book, Between Friends and Lovers by Shirlene Obuobi, in the center. A bookmark on top of the book states “you are capable of amazing things”

It’s wild! I naively thought it was the YT fame that made her a “tough love” mom to the extreme… and that’s not it at all… very sad but so well written

Cat 📚 @aproperbookishbabe.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

It’s so good!! And so much more heartbreaking than the docs that came out on Hulu/Max/etc. You’ll have to let me know your thoughts when you finish 💜

Highly recommend adding this to your TBR! I’m about halfway and it’s amazing and powerful. The end of Ch25: “this wasn’t a temporary inconvenience, this was an occupation.” Also, highly recommend listening to this — Shari narrates 🙌🏽 #booksky #bookrecs #memoir #sharifranke

Hey! Might be silly but I’d probably send them an email at this point. It could be that they have a lot of people trying to join and the servers are slow to process. Hope it’s resolved soon!

I love StoryGraph for the metrics and that they are so transparent about the updates they make and a lot of them are user requests — it’s come a long way in a year!
