This happened less than an hour from my home. I don’t know this family but I know some of their customers and neighbors. I have two things to say: 1. I live in a Blue state. 2. This doesn’t surprise me.

Hi, just wanted to say that not supporting problematic authors isn’t that hard. If you read diversely you wouldn’t have this problem as often as you do. Also it isn’t a scandal, or drama, or canceling. Holding authors accountable is the right we have as readers.

If you really don't understand why people are upset at Sophie Lark or why her (non)apology is entirely problematic, maybe it's best you sit out this conversation, listen to those she is actively harming, and try to learn and grow. #booksky

Just know that if I don't see posts uplifting Black voices on your page, I'm judging you. 👩🏻‍⚖️ You should be reading books by #Blackauthors year round but ESPECIALLY during #BlackHistoryMonth. Sharing lists and reposting #Blackbooksky creators' content is not hard. #blacksky 🖤🤎 go.bsky.app/E53tMV9

If we want a better future, we have to dream as outrageously as the people who oppress us. Not only am I challenging YOU to dream outrageously, but I want you to see how big MY dreams are. And more importantly, I want you to be a part of them. #blackhistorymonth #leftunread

Looking for a quick read that packs a punch, look no further. “When I was younger, I thought I had super powers. Though if I sat real still and stared at a book, no one would be able to see me…”

She is A Haunting was a 5 star read for me. There was so much in this book, from the descriptive writing that made me feel like I was there, to the relatability throughout the story, this book is top tier. Add to it buddy reading with Emily and it honestly was the best experience!
