Current read: Foul Is Fair. Holy smokes, what the hell am I reading? 💀🤩 might have trigger warnings, so proceed with caution, but it is an interesting wild ride and I’m hooked. #ya #kidlit #booksky #readers

It’s rare that a book would make me shudder. 82% into The Poppy War, and I have trouble breathing. And yet, sometimes I feel like men in power haven’t learned anything from either history nor fiction. Power really puts a blinder on humanity.

Emily Woo Zeller has an amazing voice. I’m so enthralled by her narration of The Poppy Wars I could live in that book. #rfkuang #thepoppywar #booksky #audiobook #reader

Well… I think I’ve decided my fictional world is much better than this real one…

organizing my idea bank made me realize how many projects I could create simply by projecting different aspects of my own flaws into my main characters…sure, this stimulates my creativity, but what does it say about my personality 😂 guess I’m a #flawedcharacter indeed. #romcom all the way.

I wish I could have Lola Tung narrate all my ya romcoms. Just throwing it into the internet ether of wishing well… 🪙

One man’s meh book can be another man’s five-star read. Totally not me weeping happy tears at the ending of The Poppy Field. The mediocre 3.6 rating on Goodreads doesn’t change how much I love this book. #booksky #reader

Haha, I’m a wild one when it comes to skipping the blurb 😂 but I’m also going into the genre blindly for most too so I have no expectations 😂 I judge a book by its cover most of the time 🤣

Nothing beats that warm fuzzy feeling of rereading your highlighted quotes from your favorite books on a quiet evening. #booksky #readers

I don’t read blurbs before starting books. If my brain goes, “what’s this book about and why can’t it get to the point?” I’ll know the story isn’t for me. But if my brain goes, “what‘s this book about and why can’t I put it down?” I’ll know it’s my 🍀 day Today’s 🍀: Jason Mott’s People Like Us #books

How contradictingly funny, that we spent almost our entire childhood to learn how to think, only to use the rest of our adulthood to teach ourselves to stop thinking the way we did before. #heal #childhoodtrauma #mentalhealth

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

it was one of the scenarios i thought of, and i was like, nah, no way, that's too cliche, a book like that wouldn't end like that...but NOPE, it ended like that.

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

😂 it is, *drum rolls… Mad Honey 😂 I still gave it four stars, but I did not like the ending.

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Oof that was too long ago and I can barely remember how it ended 😂 but yes, too cute of an ending is also a big problem!!! Like wrapping up the Hulk in a mickey mouse bow 😂

010

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

😂 I hate that!!!! Like you spent the whole book building a world, only to stumble into a puddle of ending at the last min…no respect for the readers!

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Have you ever loved a book so much that you hung onto its every word until you get to the end, and it utterly disappointed you? Almost like I thought I loved someone, but instead of reciprocating my love, it stabbed me in the back instead. I need some cookie dough ice cream… #reader #booksky

Don’t you just love every weekend morning when you want to sleep in but your little one bursts into your room, wakes you up, says “Mommy, I’m going to give you a face massage,” and starts poking your eyebrow with a piece of Lego that’s shaped like a flame? #momlife #SleepIsOverRated

Idea list and reading list are both growing too fast…pretty sure at this point, I won’t have enough hours in my life time to check off everything on either lists… Anyone else have this problem? #ya #writesky #writingcommunity #booksky

A lot of Chinese paranormal mythologies teach people that although monsters and spirits are scary, humans are the real evil-doers? Can’t wait to dive back into my #YAhorror in the fall after reading another great ghost story. What reality is lacking, fiction needs to make up for it. #writesky

At swimming lesson: My son to his swimming instructor: How old are you? Swimming instructor: 24. My son: oh god. My daughter: not as old as our mom. She was born in the last century. Thanks, guys. Lots of love. #momlife

Book 1, Theo, the golden retriever, best friend's boyfriend: “No way,” Theo hollers. He peers over with a smirk. “Dude, are you the mystery date?” Great, he can’t memorize the difference between the mitochondria and the nucleus from our tutoring sessions, but this he remembers. #writingcommunity

The same actors in one show can give you completely different vibes in another. What makes them memorable is not only captivating performance, but also characterization. A great character can make a great story. So #writers, be bold and create those awesome characters! #writesky

Anyone who loves a good revenge story and enjoys k drama should watch Teach You A Lesson on Netflix. It is serious and hilarious at the same time, waking you up to the uglies in the world but also giving a spark of hope that maybe there are heroes who want to change the world for the better. #kdrama

#sparksandscribbles The amount of influence my side characters have on my protagonists is exactly why I love/hate them. Pushing and challenging flaws and false beliefs. The best way. #ya #kidlit #writesky

Ceci Li @writerceci.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I usually make my antagonist the exact opposite of my protagonist in the sense that they press on the protagonists’ weaknesses. Protagonist seeks reassurance? Antagonist takes away their confidence. Protagonist seeks love and attention? Antagonist gives them distance and harsh disciplines #writesky

Also currently thoroughly enjoying The Wedding People by Alison Espach. It’s brilliant and hilarious, even inspiring seedling ideas for my future novel ideas. Love when a good book feeds my creative soul.

With the summer started and the kids all riled up with extra energy, I decided I was going to go on a reading spree for the next two months instead of stressing myself out on drafting. Time to make a tiny dent on that 897 TBR list 😂 anyone have my number best? #booksky #writesky #reader #books

Holy smokes what a roller coaster ride of a book! That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally is soooooo good! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I listened to it. A YA thriller to impress, and with likable characters too! I hope they make it into a movie. #booksky #bookrec #reader #yathriller

I have two book recs but I’m tooooo lazy to write a full blown review lately (eventually I will)…everyone should read Deathly Fates by Tesia Tsai and Death and Other Occupational Hazards by Veronika Dapunt! Both have loads of mystery, dark elements, and fantastic writing! #booksky #readers #books

Remember the good old days when ladies used to dream about our husbands cheating, then wake up really angry? Now I get to dream about my preteen daughter acting completely and utterly rebellious and wake up in an even more foul mood… #momlife

#sparksandscribbles Book 1, the father of my fmc, and book 2, the grandmother of my mmc. Hands down the family I wish I could have in real life. #yaromcom #foundfamilyisbest

🚨SCAM ALERT🚨: I’ve heard from multiple writers that someone pretending to be me has been asking for their material (usually through an “editor” referral). This is a scam. I am currently closed to queries and encourage you to exercise caution when receiving these kinds of emails from ANYONE.
