I thoroughly enjoyed Hild by @nicolaz.bsky.social ! The historical detail about daily life was so vivid--I don't think I've ever felt so clearly what it might have been like 1,000+ years ago. But my favorite was just Hild existing in nature. I couldn't get enough of those bits. #booksky 📚💙

I just finished The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip and I am so angry with myself that I slept on this book for so long. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the actual act of reading words so much--it was so beautifully written! #booksky 💙📚🪐

A few years ago, I read Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents because I had picked up the ebook at some point. But I still haven't read Parable of the Sower! Now that I have both on my shelf, time to fix that... #booksky 💙📚🪐
