It is crunch time. I am still 145 subscribers away from the subscriber goal I was trying to reach by TODAY. Please help me get this company to a more sustainable position so we can fight for Black and brown authors more effectively. Just $5 will make a difference. Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

Please keep in mind that many of your disabled friends likely need more accommodations now and in the coming days. AND many of your neighbors will BECOME disabled in the coming days. Don’t wait to educate yourself on how to not be useless.

🚨Calling out the white women on BookTok for their performative behavior who claim to be allies but only read books by cis straight authors. Following BIPOC & queer authors isn’t allyship—actively reading books by Bipoc and queer authors and deconstructing your privilege is. #booksky #booktok

Anyone doubting that the puritanical wave has already stated in online book communities. Heads up fellow Aro/Ace folks who complain about having sex and romance in media, these people are not our allies. This is thinly veiled Christofascist CompHet.

Second book of February. This was such a fun ya horror book and my first Stephen Graham Jones book. He had a very unique writing style and I’m excited to read more. #booksky #horrorbook

White and pink background:

Book Night of the Mannequins 3 1/2 star.

Summary: We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead.
One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend.
Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until it starts killing.
Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He'll be a hero.
He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll do whatever he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes-sometimes you have to become a monster first.

“The first two flights carrying detained migrants from the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay have headed to the naval base in Cuba” One flight is reported to have 12 people. This is the first step in the normalization this horror. Reject it.

It’s easier to take steps to screw the poor when you think they’re poor because of their own actions. Rather, they’ve been harmed by the same systems that have privileged some of us.

Wow wow wow!! I loved this book so much. I fell in love with all of the main characters, I can't wait to pick up book 2 and see what happens next. You will love this if you enjoy a strong sibling bond, High stakes scenarios and jaw dropping twists. #jadecity #booksky #diversebooks #fantasy

On a pink and white background:

Book cover of Jade city, showing a 5 star rating, read on ereader, rep: bipoc, lgbtqia. TW: violence, drug use, addiction, suicide

Summary: The Kaul family is one of two crime syndicates that control the island of Kekon. It's the only place in the world that produces rare magical jade, which grants those with the right training and heritage superhuman abilities. The Green Bone clans of honorable jade-wearing warriors once protected the island from foreign invasion--but nowadays, in a bustling post-war metropolis full of fast cars and foreign money, Green Bone families like the Kauls are primarily involved in commerce, construction, and the everyday upkeep of the districts under their protection.
When the simmering tension between the Kauls and their greatest rivals erupts into open violence in the streets, the outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones and the future of Kekon itself.

I wanted to start doing tv and movie wrap ups at the end of every month but when my mental health is bad the only thing I can watch is reality tv or reruns of some of my favs 🫠 This month me and my partner have been hooked on Love Is Bind and The Circle. Living for the drama right now 😂😂
