Anyone wanna be friends on Goodreads? 👀👉🏽👈🏽

[tamsreadingcorner]

Does anyone wanna buy me a signed copy of Here's To Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

[tamsreadingcorner]

the books I’ve read all make up the tiny pieces of my soul; to read them is to read into my heart

the best way to support libraries is to use libraries. go get a card, check something out. not a big reader? they got movies. they got games. yes, like botw and fallout and let’s go eevee. they also have cds that yes, we workers know you take home and rip to your computer. we also do it. 

if you have a well funded library you might even have access to maker spaces that have 3D printers. or video/audio recording equipment. libraries aren’t these tomb silent homes for books any more. they’re community spaces. they’re full of life and things. 

put a middle finger up at jeffrey bezos and support your local library

“I honestly think that books have saved me. They’re my escape route. Any problems I have—an hour in a book makes them seem not so bad. They’re like visiting other worlds.”

The Cuckoo's Call by Lily Morton

I'm a simple lady, I like other ladies and books.

I honestly feel that working in a little old bookstore would solve all of my problems.

AND YOU SHOULD READ IT BECAUSE:

Who doesn’t want an 18th century gay European roadtrip novel?

Monty is the most disastrous bisexual in the history of ever.

No really, he ends up running through the gardens of the Palace of Versailles naked. Bless.

Felicity provides all the snarky remarks you’re thinking to yourself on said stupid ass shit. 

Percy is biracial and disabled and Monty adores him. You will too. It’s impossible not to love Percy.

MUTUAL PINING. SLOW BURN. FRIENDS TO LOVERS.

is actually FUNNY. Do you know how rare a FUNNY historical fiction book is? Especially a queer one? We’re talking unicorn level rare here.

Also will give you ALL THE FEELS. 

has the most beautiful narration

“The stars dust gold leafing on his skin. And we are looking at each other, just looking, and I swear there are whole lifetimes lived in those small, shared moments.” 

also the most hilarious narration

“It occurs to me then that perhaps getting my little sister drunk and explaining why I screw boys is not the most responsible move on my part.” 

Historically accurate, well-researched and with just the right pinch of the fantastical. 

there are pirates. and highwaymen. and alchemy.

AND there’s a sequel about Felicity (aromantic/asexual who’s about to take the medical world by storm), a badass Muslim pirate girl, and her childhood friend on their own adventure. WITH DRAGONS.

AND there’s a short-story set between the two books about Monty trying (and failing) at making his first time with Percy perfect. It’s coming out in print format in November, so you have time to read the two books first!

Raise your hand if you like to smell books! Old or new books?  I still remember smells of specific novels from my childhood, sometimes those that I've never read because I was too young to.
