I spend more time adding to my TBR and watch list than actually reading and watching. Will I stop? No, I can never stop, and if you have any recommendations, my lists always have room for more titles!

Rewatching The Mummy for the first time in forever. O'Connell lighting a match off Ardeth's scruff is the funniest thing I've forgotten about this movie. I can't stop rewinding 🤣 #themummy #moviememories

Haven’t done a puzzle in a while and now I remember how calming and satisfying it can be

It's always funny when authors will try to paint Persephone as if she's only sweet and fragile with her little flowers. Girl was the mistress of the Furies and meted out her own punishments regularly. She was Queen of the Underworld and was as respected and feared as Hades himself.

I’m waiting for the twist where her curse is fake or misunderstood. But in the meantime, Lyra with her “no one can ever love me” just makes me think of Goob from Meet the Robinsons: “They all hated me.”
Students in the hallway stand at their lockers and greet Goob from Meet the Robinson’s with hey Goob, what’s up? Cool binder! Hey Goob, wanna come over to my house today? Goob narrates, They all hated me.

The only thing I’m taking away from this book is that Hades smells like “bitter dark chocolate”…because we’re reminded in almost every. Single. Chapter. #thegamesgodsplay #booksky

I need publishers to stop marketing books by comparing them to wildly successful series because you said Hunger Games and I’m struggling to get through this cheesy dialogue to get to the Labors

Maybe it becomes relevant later and I haven’t gotten to it yet, but at first glance, this cover makes me think Norse gods, not Greek #booksky #thegamesgodsplay

Found an indie bookstore that claims to support local and self-published authors but their signing events require $100 + 50% of book sales for a post on their calendar, a table, and a chair and without any marketing support. Seems borderline predatory, or am I ignorant? #authorsofbluesky #authors

Thank you for the suggestion @thestorygraph.com but please don't tease me with a book that doesn't even release until August 😭😭😭 #accomplicetothevillain #anticipated2025read

Found this booktuber who admits they can't get into TikTok or BookTok and yet still has a whole series reacting to BookTok. I understand the cringe that is BookTok, as a longtime scroller, very rare poster, but to have someone outside poke fun to get clicks feels icky to me.

I got approved for the eARC of The Blood Phoenix by Amber Chen! I honestly did not expect that at all because I'm still working in improving my NetGalley percentage. So be audacious! Have the nerve! Ask for what you want. The answer might be no, but there's still a 50% chance of a yes

Welcome to Night Vale is super weird and nonsensical, but they went hard with this speech about single parenthood. (The son wants to meet his dad, and this was his mother's response.) Looking forward to the podcast when I finish this book. #welcometonightvale #booksky

I was checking an author I found on NetGalley to see if I want to put in a request for their book, and it's a repurposed Dramione fanfiction. 🫠 Why are they always ships I don't like and with Berkley? The Reylo fanfictions weren't enough?
000
Britt and Her Lit(erature) @brittandherlit.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
Does Berkley scroll through AO3 looking for their next book? Why is it every fanfiction that's been loosely repackaged into a romance book is printed under their imprint? What is this pipeline from romance fanfiction to Berkley?

is Jansport the new Champion? Because why are these basic backpacks made with the flimsiest of fabrics so expensive? And the "exclusive Twilight Bella Swan" bag is just a plain Jansport? They haven't changed anything about the way they look in years except for the price 👀

It's important to branch out and try new authors. At the same time, it's not required to spend money to try these new authors. Libraries, book swaps, free little libraries, Bookbub (has some free ebooks) are just a few options to sample a broader range of books without breaking your budget

Currently reading You May Now Kill the Bride by Kate Weston. Why does it seem like a contest between the childhood friend group of 5 (including Tansy from flashbacks) to see who can be the worst human ever? Like even as adults, they're all just terrible people?

The whole situation with Fable and their response to the reader summaries is giving both "AI will be AI" and "well, damn, Jackie, I can't control the AI" Because regardless of what generated them, no human eyes saw them before they went live? Where was the QC?

I bought a lot of books last year that just went straight to my shelves. My goal this year is to read what I own or books from the library. Every page I read is $.01 that I get to spend next year on books. #useyourlibrary #booksky #readyourshelves

Not doing math to see if I can finish this book before the new year starts. Can I read 219 pages in 3 hours? Guess I'm about to find out. #booksky #readingchallenge

Finally hit my goal of 52 books for the year with the amazing Of Jade and Dragons by @amberwrites88.bsky.social as #52! One of my favorite reads of the year, and I'm so excited for the sequel. #booksky #readinggoal #firstpost
