It’s been a week since @booknetfest and mentally, I’m still at Prom 🥹 I had the loveliest experience attending BNF for the second year in a row. This time, I was on 3 panels and we should have been required to bring tissues because someone kept cutting onions (or maybe that was just us feeling safe enough to release all of our frustrations, but who’s to say) Thank you @mynameismarines and @thoughtsontomes for organizing this wonderful event with such wonderful people 🫶🏾 (If I didn’t tag you, please let me know so I can add the tag. I couldn’t remember everyone’s usernames 🥲) #booknetfest #bookcon #bookevent #readercommunity #readtogether

Happy Haitian Flag Day 🇭🇹 If you’re Haitian and understand Creole, you know that the lyrics to this song are pretty sad but that doesn’t keep us from dancing as close as possible when this comes on at the fèt 👀 Haitian Flag Day also marks the start of our annual tradition: @the_haitian_readathon with my wonderful fellow Haitian cohosts @bestiebethsy, @chptrshakedown, @bookin.good, @bookishgirlmagic, @mer.ce.des_g This year we’re reading Devil of the Deep by @falenciatheestoryteller and I can’t wait to talk about it with all of you on June 1st (the start of Caribbean Heritage Month) 🇭🇹 #booklist #bookstagram #haiti #readathon #thehaitianreadathon

Happy New Release Tuesday 🥳 I know I don’t usually post this late but the guilt of not having this list up in time for release day was eating me up so please please please share this with anyone who’d be interested (especially your local libraries and independent bookstores) @littlebrown sent me a copy of New Skin by Sarah Wang that came with a skin mask so whoever is on their marketing team knows exactly what they’re doing 🫰🏾 I don’t keep up with the Jujutsu Kaisen manga but I’m seriously considering it after devouring season 3 this month 😭 I support women’s rights AND wrongs, especially when that woman is Maki ☺️ Also just started Spy x Family so if anyone tries to say I’m not reading, subtitles count 🕵🏾♀️ #booklist #maybooks #readingcommunity #newbookalert #books
