There, I fixed it. But true though… #booksky

A tweet that says “ I need to find something fun to order online to ensure my will to live lasts at least 5-7 more business days” with “something fun to order online” marked out and “a book to buy” written above it.

the last book i finished was The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older. it’s a sapphic sci-fi murder mystery - aka everything i’ve ever wanted. i’m trying to be stingy with stars this year, but this one’s going to end up 5/5 for sure. ⭐️ #booksky

i love that one too. i think about that red herring daily!

Let’s Be Book Pals! @letsbebookpals.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

anyway, i loved it so much i ended up reading the whole series. (there were 10 books out at the time.) it’s never left me. still my favorite series. 💕

Let’s Be Book Pals! @letsbebookpals.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

i jumped straight into reading it, so i didn’t realize it was the eighth in a series.

Let’s Be Book Pals! @letsbebookpals.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

it was in fourth grade. i don’t remember why, but everyone in class was given a book. if you liked it, you could keep it. if not, you’d pass it on.

I want to emphasize that I did like it overall, and I’d highly recommend it. Looking forward to continuing this series!

I gave it 3.5 stars because while I liked it, I felt that Dex wasn’t very relatable. I guess I’m just not restless like they are, so it made reading their perspective a little frustrating at times. Even so, I did appreciate them.

Let’s Be Book Pals! @letsbebookpals.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

The most impactful part for me was a discussion about meaning/purpose that happens toward the end. Mosscap’s perspective is exactly what I wanted/needed to hear.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a cozy sci-fi about a tea monk (Dex) and a robot (Mosscap) in a wonderful world that gives me hope for the future. #booksky

It’s a bit sappy but I love that I never get tired of reading. Like there’s always something new to discover in books. Reading Rainbow and Wishbone were so right!

so far No Name in the Street is the kind of book where i want to highlight every page.

An e-reader displaying a page from No Name in the Street by James Baldwin. The highlighted quote reads “I thought of German Jews sitting around debating whether or not Hitler was a threat to their lives until the debate was summarily resolved for them by a knocking at the door.”

reuploading my january stats from @thestorygraph.com because i forgot to include my last book for the month. check it out! 📚✨💕

I read 7 books, 1968 pages, and my average rating was 4.33. Top rated books were The Hollow, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and Cards on the Table. Average book length was 279 pages. Average time to finish was 6 days. The graph at the bottom is pages read by day, but honestly I haven’t even looked at it.

I read 86% fiction, 14% nonfiction. 71% of books were <300 pages, 29% were 300-499. I read 57% print, 29% audio, and 14% digital. 5 books were crime/mystery/classics and 1 was essay/memoir. I don’t thin it included A Psalm for the Wild Built…

This story will change my expectations for every book I read after it. I love the characters, the narration, the pacing… It’s a masterpiece.

Let’s Be Book Pals! @letsbebookpals.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

The reveal of the killer is very good, but I was misled by the hype. People say you absolutely cannot figure it out, so I suspected every background character. The killer is completely guessable. Even so, the reveal is powerful.

Dr James Sheppard’s friend Roger Ackroyd is murdered. Luckily, he lives next door to Hercule Poirot! The retired detective can’t help but get involved in the investigation. Growing his vegetable marrows will have to wait… #booksky

A collage based on The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, including:
-the cover of the audiobook
-vegetable marrows
-a sketch of a blue envelope
-a feather quill
-a stethoscope
-kraft paper with a sketch of an anthropomorphic book gasping
-a photo of a page of the book with the quote “The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to the seller after it.”
-five stars
