Happy Release Day to The Inevitable Undoing of Zahara Douglass by @leslyepenelope.bsky.social. Thank you @kayepublicity.bsky.social for the early copy! A sci-fi mystery set right before Y2K where Zahara just wants to know where her twin sister went and why no one remembers her #booksky

Came home after an exhausting work day to some #bookmail. Thank you so much @kayepublicity.bsky.social for sending me a copy of The Inevitable Undoing of Zahara Douglass by @leslyepenelope.bsky.social. This officially comes out August 11th so this is my next read once I finish Weavingshaw #booksky

These ICE shootings aren't just murders; they're hate crimes.

So much propaganda is being spread by ICE. They also don’t mention that the 26-year-old man they shot had legal authorization to work in the United States and was not the target of the ICE operation.

Hi friends! I’ve finally broken my 6 month reading slump and am returning to social media. Life has been exhausting this year and I haven’t had much energy to upkeep reading or a social media presence #booksky

If you want the lush historical romance vibes of BRIDGERTON with the fucked up queer vampires of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE....may I present the Age of Blood series??? The series opener, MISTRESS OF LIES, is still on sale for $2.99 in ebook!

Cover for Mistress of Lies by K. M. Enright, The Sunday Times bestseller. Black cover, with a scowling long-haired woman in a Gothic style red and gold headdress and brocade sleeves like wings against a background of red and white roses. Her hands are tipped in gold claws and she holds a long dagger. Blurbs from Melissa Caruso — “Dark, dangerous, and entrancing” — and Sara Hashem — “A decadent story that won’t let you go.”

I guess I should be a good noodle and actually read When the Moon Hatched since I have the second book on preorder #booksky

I finished Blood on Her Tongue on my metro ride this morning. This was a captivating gothic novel with an interesting take on vampires & what it means to be sisters. It also does a fantastic job at touching on mental illness & how it was viewed in 1887 while still being tactful #booksky

I think it’ll be a great serotonin boost lol

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

I’m heavily considering doing a reread of all my favorite classic gothic novels. I haven’t read them in a long time so I’m very overdue #booksky

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Let’s try something a little more Gothic next. Blood on Her Tongue by @johannavanveen.bsky.social has been on my TBR for a long time.

I haven’t read his other books so maybe that’ll help me not have extra expectations for this book

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I haven’t read anything by him before so I don’t have a point of reference to go off of about his work in general

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Okay this gives me a lot of hope and I’ll keep trucking along then

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I already was listening to podcasts while I crocheted so it felt like a good option to add to the mix!

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Started Between Two Fires tonight. I’m about 50 pages in and I’m still on the fence about it. I feel like the synopsis I keep seeing so far is over inflated? I’ll give it some time to see if it builds. #booksky

So far I’m really enjoying it!!

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Trying to listen to more audio books while I crochet. I don’t normally read dark romance but I’ve heard such good things about the Lights Out audio book, I had to finally try it. #booksky #lightsout #audiobooks #darkromance #crochet

How many more times do we need to say this is illegal, this is vile, this is unacceptable for something to actually be done about the Orange Dictator?

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Okay I devoured Hemlock and Silver in one setting. T Kingfisher has such an incredible way of doing dark fairy tales that are just creepy enough without towing into “edge lord” territory. Plus a FMC over the age of 30 that isn’t written like she’s ancient. #booksky

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

First book of the year is going to be Hemlock and Silver by @tkingfisher.com. I’ve loved every book she’s written that I’ve read so far. #booksky

I’m definitely going to prioritize what’s already on my shelves and on my e-reader. I still have some preorders that’ll come in though

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

It’s been lovely

What’s everyone’s first read of the year? My TBR is so long I’m torn on where to start. #booksky

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Okay so I was too bold in 2025 saying I was going to read 50 books. So we’re going with a more attainable 25. If we’re not already friends on @thestorygraph.com add me! I’m thebookvampire on there #booksky #readinggoals #2026readinggoals

I haven’t read anything or been on this app in 3 months. I’ve just kind of been in survival mode and escapism into books just wasn’t in the cards. I’m hoping since I’m taking a couple weeks off of work, I can get back to my old self and be inspired to read again #booksky

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Thankfully I left that career path behind so it’s been a lovely distraction from my professional stress

I’m really glad it kept the UK cover because I prefer it to the US edition

If you have never planned an event before, do not decide your first event will be a convention. Planning any event is hard but planning a bookish convention is going to be exponentially harder. I say this as someone who’s worked in the industry for years at venues #booksky #onceuponacon

Katie 🦇📚 @thebookvampire.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

I just realized I’ve worked 8 days in a row and now me being on the verge of a crashout makes a lot more sense

Happy Release Day to Lord of Ruin by @kmenright.bsky.social!! I’m 75% through and it absolutely lives up to the bar Mistress of Lies set. If you’re looking for a dark, sexy, bloodbath of a vampire series with a trio of morally grey protagonists, The Age of Blood is for you. #booksky #bookreview

Time to read about my favorite morally grey polyam trio. Still confused that @netgalley.bsky.social and @orbitbooks.bsky.social gave me an e-ARC of my most anticipated sequel this year by @kmenright.bsky.social #booksky #lordofruin #netgalley #ARC #eARC

The new Superman being only two years older than me is a really specific indicator of me getting older. Never in my life has a Superman been my age.
