Harper Collins did not sign. So weird how being owned by Rupert Murdoch means they can't even advocate for their own survival. Libraries are a HUGE part of all publishers' bottom lines. If you can't speak out bc it's right, speak out bc otherwise this destroys your bottom line ffs

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024. More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

I just started reading Ten Incarnations of Rebellion by Vaishnavi Patel and have been enjoying it so far! It’s set in an alternate timeline where India did not gain independence from the British in 1947. The pub date is on June 3rd, 2025 📚 #diversebooks #booksky #historicalfiction

all the #BookTok slander I’ve been seeing the past few days by other bookish communities is quite frustrating ngl. While yes, the most popular side of BookTok definitely has its issues, the side I was on always recommended diverse books and championed marginalized authors. #diversebooks

In honor of #booktok, what is a book you found because of BookTok that ended up being a 5 ⭐️ read? Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H. It’s a beautifully written and poignant memoir about the authors’ experiences as a queer, hijabi immigrant. Highly recommend this to everyone! #booksky #diversebooks

TikTok was one of the only apps where I felt like people actually cared about what I had to say and were interested in reading diverse books. I know community can be found and built on other platforms, but I’ll really miss the BookTok & writertok community I found there 🥹🥲 #booktok #booksky

seeing that tiktok pop up on my fyp while I was scrolling reminded me of the time I saw my coworkers slack get deactivated mid-message as she got laid off (I was laid off a few mins afterwards)

Finished reading this arc of Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang and wow. This is a book that I’ll be thinking about for a while. Follows a borderline obsessive (and extractive?) friendship between two art students. It explores themes around jealousy & usage of technology/genAI in the arts

priyanka @priyankadwrites.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

“Weird Fishes” by Rae Mariz. I’d describe this as an underwater fantasy novella from the perspective of deep sea creatures. It explores themes of climate change & friendship. It was such a beautiful read and is a book I think about often. (Please make sure to check tw though!)

hi! I’m Priyanka (she/her). I’m a speculative fiction writer based in the SF Bay Area and an avid reader of mainly SFF and litfic, but I read across genres and also diversely. I’m currently working on a dark academia novel inspired by Bengali folklore! #writer #reader

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
