I’ve been packing up my library and put together all my annotated books. I picked a few out to talk about my journey with #annotatingbooks. Years ago I couldn’t write in a book and now I absolutely love annotating! #booksky

Let’s take a journey through #annotatingbooks! These are the #annotatingsystem types that I’ve used and how we got here! #annotations #bookannotations #annotatedbooks

Question for my #urbanromance and #urbanfiction readers, what categories do you use when you annotate? I usually annotate my horror and nonfiction so I’m not sure where to start! #booksky #blackbooksky #blackromance

Alise @shereadytoread.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

#QOTD: Which book that you read last month, would you recommend? If you’re looking for a great novella (especially an #audiobook) I recommend The Dead Cat Tail Assassins. For nonfiction I recommend Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives! #booksky

My most surprising reads that I enjoyed in November. I read the first three of the Marvel Age of Comics releases. I didn’t know how it’d be reading these through audiobooks but I really liked them all! #booksky #audiobooks #nonfiction

This was sadly a disappointment. Idk what the marketing is doing calling it suspense or thriller but this is basically LitFic #booksky

I'm doing these annual trainings that have not changed since the year they started them and this year I noticed that there was a 1x speed at the bottom so I thought "I can speed this up and cut my time in half". Jokes on me. The options are 1x, 0.75x and 0.5x 😭

Pre-ordered a book months ago. So excited to get that shipping email. Two weeks waiting (overseas shipping) and it finally arrives. A sealed mailer with just a packing slip and no book ... #booksky

I am halfway through My Ex, The Antichrist and I love the format. It’s well-written, but it’s not giving me enough horror to feel like it’s a good horror book for my taste. #booksky #horrorbooks
