Today's #PrideLibrary19 prompt - Pride #SockSunday - may be somewhat confusing if you're not on bookstagram. Essentially, it's a hashtag where bookstagrammers share bookish sock photos! These are really fun, especially since they often result in very cosy looking pictures. Personally, I strived to take the gayest Sock Sunday picture ever taken. Which was a... Continue Reading →
It's me, your local asexual! Today's prompt of #PrideLibrary19 is 'asexual flag', so I made an asexual flag out of books with asexual/aspec rep.

And there's a reason for that, beyond just my enjoyment of the book. Because yes,... Continue Reading →

These are books in varying genres, so there's bound to be something you'll enjoy! Mason Deaver - I Wish You All the Best When Ben De Backer comes... Continue Reading →
