Not a great book but strong enough mystery that it a) kept me reading and b) will have me pick up the final book. Shout out to @libbyapp.com and free audiobooks! #booksky 💙📚 #libraries #youngadult #YA #mystery

Cosby does it again. A great combination of mystery, thriller, and action. Stayed up to finish the last 80 pages because it was that engrossing. Always enjoy his work. #booksky 💙📚 #thriller

Saw that @tananarivedue.bsky.social posted yesterday so wanted to give my @netgalley.bsky.social review. I live in So. California and let me tell you how engrossed I became in this novel. While reading about a protagonist's struggle in the snow…I got chills. Not “horror” chills - chills chills (1/3)

Interesting look at likely the most pivotal year of the American Revolution. Disappointed that it focused only on military action and the politics of attack, siege and defense. The issuing of the Declaration of Independence gets only two pages. #booksky 💙📚 #history #america250

Really disappointed. You want to write a biopic? Do that. You want to write a novel? Do that. Don’t write a fictional version of someone’s life only to reveal that you made up most of it. A serious topic and it’s undercut by this poor mix of history and fiction. #booksky 💙📚 #historicalfiction

An incredible horror novel…and I don’t mean the ghosts. The terror of a children’s prison in segregated 1950 Florida would be enough without adding the haunted lives of reformatory residents past. Gripping and scary. #booksky 💙📚 #historicalfiction #TheReformatory #horror

Could not put it down. Understand why it’s the hot novel right now. Don’t let summaries dissuade it’s so much more than tradwife lit. Incredibly relevant to the current moment. Hard to put it in a genre…. #booksky 📚💙 #mystery #yesteryear

In the Inland Empire in SoCal, this is our annual July 5 air quality . Love fireworks but we should probably move to drone shows…

Loved this novel…but the last fifty pages got a bit lost in a miniature of personal philosophy and add theology. Warning for those who don’t love gore/body horror, the descriptions in the book are so good that it might affect you. #booksky 📚💙 #horror #historicalfiction

So I did figure out the mystery early on but all credit to the author, I remained invested in the story because the two protagonists were so likable and interesting. Quite the feat. #booksky 💙📚 #thriller #historicalfiction

One of smartest, funniest books I’ve ever read. Brutal race satire that captures the culture of Los Angeles/Southern California remarkably well. Pokes at US history, film, education, public transportation and segregation. #booksky 💙📚 #satire #losangeles #nytimes21stcentury

So apparently I am a big fan of historical fiction about families and their generational trauma? (See also, The Dutch House) Audio version of this was delightful. Really enamored with the characters. #booksky 💙📚 #historicalfiction #family #Chicago

Out on the Mall having the time of my life with my friends at The Great American State Fair. They’re all just out of frame enjoying the Mall, too.

I really enjoyed this novel. A lovely romance novel about two Cold War teens in England. The discussions about connection, mental health, all framed in the paranoia of the Reagan/Thatcher Era of geopolitics made for a page-turner. #booksky 📚💙 #historicalfiction #1980s

A detailed and unapologetic look at Sam Altman, OpenAI and the inherent risks and problems of Generative AI. Well researched and I consider it a must-read if you want to know about the history of GenAI #booksky 📚💙 #tech #genAI

Like most of the DC “Year One” series it’s a good place to start and get a feel for the character of Mr. Terrific. However he is not the arrogant, brilliant, heroic version from James Gunn’s Superman of 2025. #booksky 📚💙 #comics #MrTerrific #DCComics

A novel about a protagonist as sarcastic as Chandler Bing is exhausting. And even as their trajectory alters this novel was saccharine and predictable. Trying to frame this around obituaries ending up giving us a “Tuesdays with Morrie” vibe that felt emotionally manipulative at times. #booksky 📚💙

Knowing nothing before reading (listening) I was pleasantly surprised about this mystery set in 1950s DC. The stories of the women connected to a boarding house were well-developed and touching even without the murder needing be solved. Really recommend this. #booksky 📚💙 #mystery 52nd book of 2026

Incredible, thoroughly researched history of cancer. Both historical and personal, the book juggles medicine, science, politics and history beautifully. Dr. Mukherjee does a wonderful job trying to explain but there are points where I was just out of my depth. #booksky 📚💙 #medicine #science #cancer

OK this book starts off in all of the tropes. But stick with it…stick with it through 85% of the book. It’s all worth it. Almost gave up 3 times but ignored the sunk cost fallacy and persevered. #booksky 📚💙 50th book of 2026 #thriller

A lovely audio novella. Although taking place in a dystopian future the relationships between Dex (tea monk) and Moss Cap (robot) are warm and supportive. Great discussions on purpose for humans and reasons for being. Would enjoy the next. #booksky 📚💙 49th book of 2026 #scifi

Interesting book. Little to corporate in its view on higher ed. Helpful for lots of VPs who have lost grasp on future of higher ed. #booksky 💙📚 #highered 48th book of 2026

I have questions…

Incredible book. Maybe the greatest novel celebrating siblings I’ve ever read. You keep reminding yourself that these characters do not exist. Beautiful novel. Tom Hanks reads the audiobook. #booksky 💙📚 #historicalfiction 47th book of 2026

@marthawells.com does it again. SecUnit remains the most entertaining cyborg in literature. Might be favorite and love his new adaption (emotion check!) Also Kevin B. Free is the best narrator. #booksky 💙📚 #scifi 46th book of 2026

My student senate president gave me this as a good-bye gift. It’s wonderful

I’m telling my kids this is Animal Farm.

Love Backman. Not quite the gut punch of Beartown or A Man Called Ove but once again he creates an atmosphere of compassion and empathy for the other. Love his work. #booksky 📚💙 45th book of 2026

Ugliest pro sports matchup in memory #NHL #GoldenKnights #Ducks

Dark, dark, dark thriller. Warnings of violence against women and assault. But REALLY good and enthralling. Would read more by Ms. Jean #booksky 💙📚 #thriller 44th book of 2026
