I just finished ACOTAR, at the request of a bookish friend. While I enjoyed it, I don’t think it was really as earth-shaking or 🌶️ as people hype it up to be. #books #cosobookclub
I’m tapping out for today. Back to reading the sexy dragon epic sequel. #escapism #selfcare #cosobookclub #opencarrybooks
Well daaaaaamn. I had put off reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros because of all the hype which I feared, at the time, to be overblown.
When I am wrong, I say I’m wrong.
What a ride! Downloaded book 2 to the kindle and shall stay up far too late (on a work night) reading it like a proper book dragon. 📖🐉
Oh and I finished Moonbound by Robin Sloan just a few minutes ago and it was near perfection. #books #cosobookclub #opencarrybooks
You know that feeling of awkwardness that comes with watching a spicy movie with your parent or child? Well my dad lent me a book and it is spicy on the second page.
Same energy.

Bookish “ick”:
When an author writes his main character as a woman but clearly has no idea how women speak or interact with one another and the dialogue seems very heavily influenced by reality tv or Cosmopolitan tips. 😳😬

What high school required reading have you reread/considered rereading?
If you have reread it, did you like it better (or at all) as a teenager or as an adult?
#cosobookclub #opencarrybooks
The very first chapter has left me in tears. 😭 The good kind. #cosobookclub #opencarrybooks #books
#TFW all your #library holds: digital, physical, and media all become available at the exact same time but you had to finish the #book for which you paid money to read ASAP, and now that you have finished you don’t even know if you are in the headspace for anything to come and intrude on that “just finished a fucking awesome book” moment of simultaneous bliss, affection, accomplishment, longing and melancholy. 📖🩷
My heart and soul aren’t ready to move on.

What was the first #book you remember crying over?
Current read: Stolen Beauty by Laurie Lico Albanese
What are you reading today?

I neither Tik nor Tok (unless we’re talking about the Ke$ha song… because it is a staple from my new adult years😳) but a friend texted me this and 👏👏👏👏👏

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I downloaded my digital library loan before heading off to work. Finished it just a few minutes ago. Highly recommend! It was strongly reminiscent of Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun in all the best ways.
Every now and then my sister will ask me to recommend her a book/series and I don’t even think she knows how awesome that makes me feel. 🥹
Also, I feel like she should know better than to ask me by now, because she asks for titles and I give her a doctoral thesis about each.
Husband: “Here, I picked up your library book for you. Enjoy!”
Me: (attempting to enjoy said book)
Husband: (meanwhile has not ceased speaking about Ohio’s election, the drywall he’s working on patching, his plan to take out the trash soon, his concerns over our child’s snoring, etc.) “So is it a good book?”
The days I remember to bring my e-reader are the days I never get a chance to read it. When I forget my e-reader time stands still—perhaps even crawls backward a second or two. #cosobookclub
Just wrapped up the Binti trilogy and I am riding the high of reading.
Time to choose my next read:
Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange
or
The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods
