Hey there! I’m shooting my shot to be a @fablesandtalesco rep or influencer. My name is DJ and I live in California. I love reading and also wearing wicked tees. I enjoyed being a rep and also an influencer. The styles are nice and very inclusive.#fablesandtalesrep18 What are you reading currently?

Currently halfway through … worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. Bar none. This was a waste of time of epic proportions. I would pay to have this movie end.

More pics from #ALAAC25 featuring authors and friends! Of the three @americanlibraryassociation conferences I’ve attended so far, this year was definitely my favorite. Be sure to check out the books by all the tagged authors! Side note: Can you tell that library people love @outofprint? 🤭 #outofprintinfluencer

Last year I got to see S.A. Cosby in conversation with Kennedy Ryan. At the time I hadn’t read any of his work but had heard so many good things. After that convo I knew I had to get into his work ASAP. Fast forward to this year and I’ve read and loved two of his books and King of Ashes is one of my most anticipated reads of the year. Yesterday’s event at Politics and Prose was so amazing! S.A. Cosby is hilarious and I loved hearing more about King of Ashes and his journey as reader and an author. I also got to see and hang with so many of my bookish faves. What a great way to spend the first day of summer! Have you read this one yet? #HawaReads #bookstagram #blackbookstagram #igreads #kingofashes #sacosby

Summer is off to a great start.☀️📚 I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the first day of summer than seeing S.A. Cosby (@leoking8473) at @politicsprose Union Market. Folks showed up and showed out for this conversation. The entire store was packed! 👏🏽🙌🏽 It was such a joy listening to him talk about his journey, his success, and what’s coming next. KING OF ASHES (a Godfather-inspired story) is absolutely outstanding, and of course it landed on the New York Times bestseller list right out of the gate. Shawn continues to give readers a masterclass in Southern noir. I listened to the audiobook and it had me in a chokehold. Two brothers, a family crematorium, a decades old secret, and so much more. @realadamlw never misses on narrating Shawn’s novels and bringing the characters to life. S.A. Cosby will always be an autobuy for me. I will read anything he writes. 👑🔥 The night was even more special because I got to hang with some of my bookstagram fam, and a few of us linked up afterward for tacos and margs. 🌮🍹 What a fun night!! 💛 @hawa.reads @thereadingblackgirls @kellzisbookedup @rtwilliams16 @bookbliss925 (finally met my book twin IRL!) 📖 What’s your favorite book by S.A. Cosby? #SpinesVines #AuthorEvent #KingOfAshes #SACosby #SouthernNoir #CrimeFiction #NYTBestseller #PoliticsAndProse #UnionMarketDC #DCEvents #Bookstagram

Brooklyn, you filled my cup. ☕📚💛 My final pub week tour stop at @cafeconlibros_bk was everything I dreamed of and more. This intersectional feminist bookstore and coffee shop is a haven — a space where women, girls, and non-binary folx are seen, centered, and celebrated. The energy in the room was warm, vibrant, and full of love. A major thank you to the one and only @yari.mercedes for grounding us in so much love 💙 Huge thanks to the Café con Libros team for being so effortlessly supportive and welcoming. And deep love to my friend Tamela, author of Hood Wellness, for trekking all the way from Harlem to Brooklyn to be with me. Your presence meant the world. My best friend was in the house! Love you Lex! This day will stay with me always. Thank you, Brooklyn. • • • #BibliotherapyInTheBronx #CafeConLibros #Booktour #Booktours #feministbookstore #readerswhorunwiththewolves #HoodWellness #BlackAuthors #DebutAuthorJoy #LiterapyNYC #Pubweek
