I am about to start reading this little number. Don't let the pink cover fool you. It's in the thriller/horror genre. #BookSky 📚#autumnreading #autumnvibes🍁

Today's book haul. I bought the two on the left and took the two on the right from a Little Free Library. (I donated about 10 books back to said LFL too). #BookSky #lovereading #fallreading #TBR 📚

Two books I recently finished reading. The left one is YA fantasy that I thought was just okay, but the powerful ending changed my mind! The right one had tough themes of domestic violence and was set in rural Alaska, but it was also great. Two very different books but strong FMCs. #BookSky 📚

This is the book I am currently reading because it applies to me. School has started, and I am trying to do better. I teach middle school English for students who diidn't pass their reading SOL last year and hate reading. It's a struggle because I LOVE 🩷reading! #BookSky #EduSky #ITeachEnglish #ELA

#BookSky 📚💙#EduSky #TeacherSky Where are my English teachers & book nerds at? I saw #TheOdysseyMovie last night. I give it a B- or a C+. I didn’t love it but didn’t hate it either. If you saw it, what did you think?

Just started reading this book by a local-ish author after buying this book from a local bookstore (Tales & Tails in FXBG). Trying out a new #fantasy book (or #romantasy?) for a change. #BookSky 🐉🩷📚 #hotbooksummer #lovereading #bibliophile

My current read. I am about halfway through it. Behind the will-this-nerd-get-together-with-his-crush-from-college, the author skewers liberal arts education, academia, humanities majors, and as a current middle school English teacher, I am here for it. 😆 #BookSky #literaryfiction ✒️📚

stacyb1@bsky.social @stacyb1.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I am currently reading this light, fluffy romance. I don't read many romance books, but I like the #HeatedRivalry TV series, so I am trying out one of the books the TV show is based on. I am rooting for these two cute men to get together. 🌶️📚#BookSky #LGBTQ #queerlove 🌈

I am spending America's 250th birthday inside my house thankful that I have air conditioning. Seriously - I am thankful for A/C because we have had several 100-degree days here. But Happy 4th I guess. 🎇🎆🇺🇸

This is my current read, which I checked out from the library. The author is Hungarian so this book is translated. The prose is dense so it's hard to get through, but I think it's important for me to challenge myself with my reading. #BookSky #Hotbooksummet #lovereading #bibliophile

I just finished reading this after checking it out from the library. It's the most fucked-up book I have ever read. For fans of #gothichorror or just #horror in general who like their macabre with a side of humor. #BookSky #hotbooksummer #bibliophile 📚

My current #summerreading stash. So far I have read The Frozen River (loved it) and Before the coffee gets cold (meh). I am currently reading Fast Food Nation, a non-fiction pick. The rest are fiction, although Black Butterfies, which I am going to read next, is historical fiction. #BookSky 📚

stacyb1@bsky.social @stacyb1.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

My current read, which is non-fiction. It came out about 20 years ago so it may be a bit dated, but I still wanted to read it. It's been on my TBR shelf for awhile. Only 99 more purchased books to go...😂 (My library TBR list is even longer).

My newest book stash from 2nd & Charles, a used bookstore, using up my husband's store credit to feed my reading habit. It's a bit of a mix - some science-fiction, YA, general fiction, and a romance because the author shares my name. #BookSky #summerreading

Just finished reading this #YA (young adult) #fantasy book that I checked out from my middle school library. It's a beautiful story about a Lechuza, a human shape-shifter that can transform into an owl responsible for escorting souls to the afterlife. I recommend it. #BookSky 📚

Reading Update: I am on page 572 out of 806 total pages, which is Chapter IX (9) in Part VI (6). The story is currently focused on my favorite characters, Kitty and Levin, but we may be heading back into Anna territory soon. #BookSky #winterreading #classicliterature

Earlier today...it's so cold that I can only stand to walk about 15-20 minutes outside. The snow is "sweating" and desperately trying to melt but it's too cold. #snowdays #noschoolallweek #stayinsideandread #BookSky #EduSky

If you're a #teacher and have had a lot of #snowdays recently, what book are you reading right now? I am reading Anna Karenina. #BookSky #EduSky #TeachersofBlueSky #Reading #snowdays #winter

stacyb1@bsky.social @stacyb1.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

The snow days have helped me make good progress on Anna Karenina. Kitty & Levin are saving this book for me. I am not a fan of Anna or Vronsky. Such messy people. 😂 #BookSky #EduSky

It's so cold outside that even Steve needs a blanket, and Steve is a penguin. (It's currently 27 degrees but feels like 11 degrees with windchill in Fredericksburg, Virginia).

#BookSky - Russian soap opera update: I am on page 279. Alexis has decided "it's cheaper to keep her" re: Anna. Levin is all about that farm life. Dolly is chlling in the countryside & waiting for Kitty to join her. I'm stilll #TeamLevin for Kitty but at least she had a "friend" to make her 😁.

It's hot book winter for me. I am currently on page 192 of Anna Karenina (love it so far!), which a friend got me, my parents got me The Frozen River, and I bought Katabasis and The Broken Earth trilogy. I have 5 more days of freedom before school starts. #BookSky #EduSky #readingforfun

My Winter Break project - reading Anna Karenina. It's classic literature by Russian Count Leo Tolstoy. It's 806 pages! I have never read it. If I commit to reading 100 or so pages a day, I can finish it before school starts. This reading journey starts now. #BookSky #EduSky #winterbreak #teacher

I am 60% done with my M.Ed. - six classes down and only 4 more to go. I have worked very hard to balance school with work (full-time teaching). I am a third-year teacher, and I now teach middle school English after 2 years of high school. I have a 3.95 GPA too. Please clap. 🤣#EduSky #2moredays

This was the book I read over Thanksgiving break. A short but powerful novel dealing with postpartum depression. It's disturbing but so good. #BookSky

Friends, I slept until 1:00 PM today. I have completed three weeks teaching students at my new job. I switched from high school to middle school English. Phew. The tweens require a lot of energy! #six-seven #IYKYK #middleschool #EduSky #education

Well I survived new teacher training in my new district and I am so glad I left my old district. Now, I have 2 more weeks of training before I meet my students but the staff here has been so warm and welcoming so far.
