Thank you to the authors who entertained and informed me during the month of February and to Libro.fm and @libbyapp.com , who made it all possible.
Cover collar of 9 books read in February : captain’s dinner, Beth is dead, if at birth you don’t succeed, an astronomer in love, the ruling class, strata, little one, the library of lost maps, and prediction machines.

79 books of 2025 🥰 Big change this year: breaking up with Audible and going all in on @libro.fm . Not to discount my all-time fave, @libbyapp.com , seeing that I probably purchased only 20 of the 79 books and borrowed the rest from my local library.

Not me abandoning my current reads for my long awaited @libro.fm pre-order 😬 though it’ll never replace my beloved #AmericanRoyals, I can at least get my annual Katharine McGee fix.

I think I just finished what may be the best book I’ve ever read. I read it for school because I had to (it is a selection in this year’s #BattleOfTheBooks ) but I ended up loving it more than I can say, so much so, that I’m writing a post about it . #TheBoysInTheBoat @danieljamesbrown.bsky.social

What is the name of the shrine outside Kiyomizu-dera? Is it all part of the same complex? Anyway, here’s my pic of it from my latest Japan trip , just would like to be able to properly label it.

Institute of Library and Museum Services cuts: most of the libraries in AK (small, rural, volunteer-run) receive IMLS grants which look small until you consider the percentage of total funding they represent. These cuts will shutter libraries here. #Alaska #Alaskasky

My sincere apologies to President Zelensky for the abhorrent low class behavior of our so-called president and VP. Two low life morons ganging up on another head of state in the WH is an embarrassment to all real Americans.

Hi, is this the DEI snitch hotline? Someone is working in a very important job he isn’t qualified for & that he lied & cheated & raped his way into. He’s a 34x convicted felon with 3 baby mamas who’s in the early stages of dementia & his top deputy is an illegal immigrant who never goes to church.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

Had to pause my current read because @libbyapp.bsky.social served up my hold, a chilling tale of horror! I can tell I’ll finish this in less than a week, I’m so shook. Only two chapters in, and I’m so immersed in #silentspring by Rachel Carson #currentlyreading #librarylife
