uhh, did i mention y’all are amazing??? 🥺🙏     finally finishing up the first batch of bookmark orders today - should be able to ship em all tmro & early next week!     the funds hit my account this morning & i was able to make donations to both the immigrant legal resource center AND anera for palestine relief, since many of y’all purchased those bookmarks too.   in the face of so much fucking evil, this has been such a solid reminder of how good humans can be. we’ve gotta keep fighting the good fight, however we can & with all we can muster. it’s a small act in the grand scheme but i am so so so grateful to be able to make bookmarks towards these causes - it’s a labor of love & i hope y’all feel that love & know that none of this (the love) would be possible without you❣️    i’ve also restocked these bookmarks in my shop - though i am going to have to do it in limited batches for the time being, likely restocking weekly 🌈🫂 oh and in case you’re new here, fuck ice 🙏

there’s no pride in genocide. this pride month, @booksbeyondthebinary created a challenge: post a rainbow book stack with the hashtag #noprideingenocide and they’d donate $2 to PCRF [Palestine Children’s Relief Fund]. their goal was $100. as a total, with the community’s help, they donated $1,300. this incredible act of solidarity is a reminder that queer liberation and palestinian liberation are intertwined. this isn’t just about literature. this is about where we choose to stand, and how we platform our voice. you can’t celebrate pride and ignore genocide. #fromtherivertothesea #freepalestine #freegaza #noprideingenocide #pride #lgbtqia #pridemonth #bookrec #bookblog #booksta #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #books #bookreview #bookrecs #debut #literature #reading #tbrlist #bookish

here are some books that belong in a museum gift shop next to the overpriced postcards and existential tote bags. perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to fall in love and get their heart broken, go for a dive, start a revolution, or turn into an ancient blood sucking monster. these are for when you want a book that’s both a personality trait and a conversation you’re not ready to have. #bookreview #tbr #booksta #books #reading #literature #bookstagram #tbrlist #litbooks #bookreviewer #bookish #bookrecs #bookrecommendations

New Bookmarks + Print!! How amazing are these bookmarks from @virgin.art?! Honestly I've been wanting these for ages so when they got restocked I had to get a few (and some extras for friends too)! Also the print is just perfect, community means so much! Thank you @maaads.reads for your creative genius! 🧡 #newbookmarks #bookmarks #bookwormsunite #bookishgifts #bookwormsofinstagram #bookish

WOMEN IN TRANSLATION MONTH REC: Why Did You Come Back Every Summer by Belén López Peiró translated by Maureen Shaughnessy I don’t think I’ve ever devoured a book so fast while also grimacing and bracing myself at every turn of the page. This book is an incredibly brave project. MAJOR CW for sexual abuse of a minor, and I mean major. López Peiró wrote this novel as an act of defiance and an act of documentation. It is an experimental novel from the perspective of many people, all of whom are in some way related to the case of our main character who was repeatedly abused by her uncle. The novel serves a reminder not only of the emotional impact of abuse, but also of the rippling effect of sexual violence against women. It reminds us of what it means to support survivors and how a lack of this support can be retraumatising. This book will not spare you, but it’s a testament to the importance of bearing witness to survivor’s stories as told by them, the importance of allowing survivors to control their own narratives. Proceed with caution, but if you are in the headspace to read this, I highly recommend. Major thanks to my favorite publishers in the game, @charcopress for sending this my way!

books i didn’t like:- — the midnight library: repetitive — the catcher in the rye: boring and whiney — paradise rot: i don’t have a piss kink — eleanor oliphant is completely fine: no, she’s most definitely not. — the boy in the striped pyjamas: child narrator — my year of rest and relaxation: how did she not die? — boy swallows universe: no idea wtf the point was. what are your one star reads?

The new year is sneaking closer and closer, and all I can think about is the amazing books I have planned to read next year! There are some amazing upcoming releases next year I can’t wait to get my hands on (New Miranda July?? Gay Emily Austin poems??? So much queer nonfic?!?!?!!!). Most of the new releases I’m looking forward to are by authors I’m already familiar with, but I’m super pumped for the release of “Violent Faculties” because that will be my first Charlene Elsby read! I’m also dedicating a portion of my nonfiction reading next year to Indigenous American authors. This is an area where I know my education and re-learning is lacking. In addition, as the climate crisis continues to escalate, I find myself turning more and more to indigenous solutions and ways of being (shout out to Braiding Sweetgrass). Blue stars indicate books I discovered here on Bookstagram 🫶 I’ve tagged the accounts that introduced me to those titles so you all can find some cool new follows! Thank you all for the recs - my next year of reading is going to be incredible. If you like any of the content I’ve created over the last few months, please consider visiting the Bookshop holiday wishlist linked in my bio. My wishlist is made up of books from this post! None of us get compensated for the labor it takes to make content (unless you’ve figured out affiliate links which, if you have, congrats). If you have the means, buy a book for your favorite bookstagrammer this holiday season to say thank you! It’s also a good way to force them to read a book you like 😈 What’s on your 2024 TBR?! 📚🎉🍾💕

a quick reading update in the form of a #lastnownext tag 📖 🕯️ 🤎 — last: drive your plow around the bones of the dead by olga tokarczuk a literary mystery set deep in the polish woods and featuring a older MC who’s into astrology and shares a deep connection with animals, eccentric neighbors and 3 very gruesome and suspicious deaths. i had so much fun reading this one as i found it very readable and i just loved reading about our MC, this one is quite slow but it never gets boring. and the ending will leave you in shock. — now: rouge by mona awad in this one we follow belle who falls into the never ending chase of beauty and youth. belle’s obsession and grief after losing her mother makes her vulnerable to the culty spa that begins praying on her and before long she grows addicted to the glow her skin gets after each treatment. but of course, there is a price to pay. this is the buzz book of the season … and im hating it lol. im finding it incredibly slow, repetitive and just straight up boring. oops. anyone else finding this awad’s weakest book yet? — next: writers and lovers by lily king this one has been on two separate autumn tbr’s and im determined to get to it this year!!! promise!!!! all i know it’s that it’s a beautiful reflection on mental health and grief. this one is a bookstagram darling and im more than excited to get started on it soon! Q: what are you guys currently reading? what are you reading next?
