So unfortunately twitters new rules surrounding AI mean that accessibility bots will no longer work.

I’m asking everyone on #BookTwt to please, please use alt text in your images

Hey everybody, I’m back from my hiatus. Have spent the last two months sick with multiple viruses and possible allergies and was in a massive reading slump that I’m now trying to get out of. I’m doing a fantasy literature unit though and I FINALLY read ‘The Final Empire’

Ok I have a challenge for #booktok What is a romance book you would recommend to someone who doesn’t like romance books?
*It can be a dual genre (eg. fantasy romance)

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

So there’s no audiobook version of Penpal by Dathan Auerbach, but there is a reading of it on YouTube and the No Sleep podcast. Would that still count towards my reading goal? It’s definitely not reading but there’s no accessible way for me to read it?

My entire TikTok fyp is TERFs and hogwarts legacy drama and I dunno how to get out of the hole I’ve somehow found myself in considering I barely interact with this content..

Ok peeps I need you help!! So I’m signing up to https://t.co/3X7458QBsX but it looks like I can only support American bookstores

Can anyone suggest one to support?

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

@ReadWatchDNF @buckyslibrary No worries! When you add an image to a tweet or reply, there should be a little button in the image that says +alt (I think that’s what it says). You then use that to describe what’s in the image

@rueisreading I think Christian from the Vampire Academy (I think I might have to reread those, it’s been a long time)

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

Only book I actively hate is ‘100 days of sunlight’ by Abbie Emmons but I wouldn’t say that’s popular (thank fucking God). One day hopefully I’ll be able to do a full rant review that won’t send me into a spiral

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

I don’t know if I hate it but ‘One of us is lying’. Overhyped and overrated, and it’s just not good? The final plot twist supposedly no one saw coming was the most boring shit ever.

@graysongraham @CJMurrumbeena @keffals @TequilaSunset14 @VaushV @_nyancrimew I’m talking about ID specifically. It used to be called “mental retardation” and that’s where the term comes from. Some of the buildings they used to be locked up in were literally called “r- centres”.

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

@graysongraham @CJMurrumbeena @keffals @TequilaSunset14 @VaushV @_nyancrimew The r slur isn’t about nd people in general and not any nd person can use/reclaim it. While it’s now used incorrectly as an insult to most disabled people, the group it originally was used to oppress are those with intellectual disability. Only they can use/reclaim it

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

@fatema_reads I’d say so

[Kj @A_LibraryGhost]

Ok so after I found ‘One of us is lying’ super disappointing, I was a bit nervous starting ‘Live your best lie’ but holy shit I’ve stayed up until 2am reading it, definitely a 5 ⭐️ read!! If you’re after gossip girl with a murder mystery, I highly recommend!

@wickdvictor Technically if your talking definitions, no. However I’m blind and it’s the only way I can read so I still call it reading just like I say I’m “watching” a show even if I’m just listening to it.
