smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 08/04/2026hi booksky, here is your spring semester reading syllabus :) use it however you wish !! i hope it inspires you to go in fun new weird directions in your reading this season #booksky #bookskychat 040
smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 07/04/2026i want to design a season-themed reading syllabus for booksky. im imagining only 1 book for the whole season. the syllabus decides the genre or type of theme but you as the student get to decide the book that follows that criteria 010

smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 19/02/2026halfway through on the calculation of volume iii #booksky #bookskychat not much to say yet but i do really believe books 1 and 2 should've been the same book, and books 3 and 4 should probably be together as well. unlike book 2, book 3 actually feels like a new story 020

smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 05/02/2026i don't really do monthly tbrs lately but i'm really obsessed with the idea of designing a syllabus for a season of the year and having a small group of books that are connected in some way #booksky #bookskychat 070

smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 28/01/2026updating my reading goal for the year to 43 (42 on the website to make the rows aesthetically pleasing) did some math and found out if i read 43 books this year, i will have read exactly 100 total in the last 3 years! #booksky #bookskychat 000
smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 28/01/2026it's been a lot of fun putting small additions to some of my review graphics like these two! trying to do a makeshift mesh gradient similar to the original calculation cover, and also adding those glowing red eyes to the monstrilio cover :) 000
smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 27/01/2026for my next couple reviews i think i'll be experimenting with how a border would look :) right now i think this looks really fun 000

smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 27/01/2026This was no miracle; there was no luck, no divinity. This was Santiago and me biting, jaws clenched, sucking life. 100
smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 27/01/2026i'm hoping a pale view of hills will make for a more somber companion while still hitting similar notes. anyway, monstrilio is the kind of quiet sadness that is ripping out little pieces of me with every chapter. it's melancholic but still gripping... a dark and strange ship of theseus experiment 000
smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 27/01/2026a fourth into monstrilio. this is pretty much the only horror book i've read in the past 3 years, so i don't have much to say on how it compares to others in the genre i was very tempted to pair monstrilio with frankenstein instead (a low hanging fruit), but [...] 100

smile?? @smilemore.bsky.social · 27/01/2026small thing, i just found out frankie has a review of this in one of his videos! he gave it a higher rating than i did and also had a lot more to say, so if you want to find out if this book is worth your time i think his review is a better place to look youtu.be/oJkf1UvMOg0?...youtu.bebooks about women who are toxic but they're kinda silly with itYouTube video by frankie’s shelf 000
