“Here are the top 30 TikTok book recommendations: 2023 edition. BookTok is known for its varied and vast book recommendations in any conceivable genre from a range of voices. Everyone from casual readers to professional reviewers to authors has the ability to promote books they love on BookTok.

Essentially, a lot of people talk about a lot of books with different levels of success. When discussing BookTok, it is important to acknowledge the bias toward white, cis, straight creators promoting white, cis, straight books. However, if you seek them out, you can find a vast resource of diverse Booktokers promoting equally diverse books. This is also the added lens the algorithm adds to the user experience. TikTok’s algorithm learns from your viewing history in the app, which also applies to BookTok.

The following list comes from compiling various BookTok comment sections on videos about TikTok book recommendations in 2023. Naturally, the list will have the natural bias of my personal algorithm. Nonetheless, backlist books and genre books remain popular in 2023 on BookTok. Similar to the top 25 TikTok book recommendations from 2022, YA, romance, and fantasy books remain popular. Additionally this year, the Trans Rights Readathon increased the recommendation of trans books on BookTok.“

Reel News

Above: Newsreel cameramen perch on boards resting on a windowsill to get a birds-eye view of a passing parade, circa 1930. (Public Domain Image) We marvel at, and sometimes decry, today’s instantaneous news coverage of wars, disasters and the like, but ninety years ago newsreel crews did a remarkable job of filming and delivering the latest news to thousands of theaters across the U.S. and around…

Robert McGinnis

Born in 1926 in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in Wyoming, he is an American artist and illustrator. Known for his more than 1200 Illustrations and over 40 movie posters, including "Breakfast at Tiffanys" (his first movie poster), Barbarella and several James Bond and Matt Helm films. McGinnis became an apprentice at Walt Disney Studios, then studied fine art at Ohio State University. After wartime service in the merchant marine he went into advertising and a chance meeting with Mitchell in 1958 led to his introduction to Dell Publishing where he began a career of a variety of paperback covers for books written by authors such as Donald Westlake (signing as Richard Stark), Edward S. Aarons, Erle Stanley Gardner, Richard S. Prather, Shayne Michael and Carter Brown. In 1985, he was awarded the title of "Romantic Artist of the Year" by Romantic Times magazine. He is a member of the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame.

This week I've come across several homes I posted before that didn't sell. Here's another one. It's a local icon in Ransom Canyon, TX, called the Robert Bruno Steel House (aka The Bruno). Made of steel, it reminds me of a grand piano (critics said it looks like a pig). Started in 1973, Bruno labored on it for 35 years until his death in 2008. 3bds, 2.5ba, the price was lowered $50K to $1,399,750 + a small $5mo HOA.

Over the years it's been rented as an Airbnb. Isn't this a unique entrance?

It's so sculptural, but it's not wood, it's steel. The living room gets a lot of sun and has big windows that look out to Lake Ransom Canyon.

Above the stepdown living room is a dining area.

The kitchen is tucked into its own corner and features a long counter for everyday casual dining.

The primary bedroom is just off the entrance hall.

It's a very large room with a big staircase.

Looking down from the top of the stairs.

What's up here is the en-suite.

Have you ever seen a bathroom like this? It's even a little confusing.

I'm not sure, but I think that these stairs come down from the bath to another bedroom.

This home is an art piece in itself.

Windows in this bedroom face the lake.

There's a lovely deck up here with a beautiful view.

There are views all over the house because it's so open.

Hallway to bedroom #3.

Lovely colorful room.

And bath #2.

There's a basement level with a built-in desk.

The half bath is down here, too.

The wide entrance looks like a bridge. 9,281 sq. ft. lot

Books of the month!!!

(for the past 3 months) (forgot to do this for February and March so they're all here)

April

Bring Up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel — MORE blorbo Thomas Cromwell! Unreliable narrator tortured evil meow meow goes VROOM!! Genuinely hilarious on top of it. More thots. Fave read of 2024 so far. READ IT.

Dimenticare Berlinguer: La sinistra italiana e la tradizione comunista, Miriam Mafai — Essays on Italian political history. Probably not relevant to tumblr's interests. Very relevant to mine.

Mademoiselle de Maupin, Théophile Gautier — Gender! 1835s epistolary novel with Gender and crossdressing and musings on the value of Beauty! I loved this but it's rambly in a period-typical way. The Italian translation has very witty pretty prose; no idea about the original French, but I've heard the English translation isn't great.

The Angel of Indian Lake, Stephen Graham Jones — Third book of a trilogy. Do rec only if you love Jade Daniels as much as I do. Otherwise, it might get a bit confusing. I DO enthusiastically rec the first book in the trilogy, My Heart Is a Chainsaw, so you will all come to love Jade Daniels as much as I do. You're welcome.

The Manicurist's Daughter, Susan Lieu — A memoir about grief and families and the immigrant experience (Vietnam to west coast US). It's not usually my wheelhouse but I appreciated so many things about it, especially because of the audiobook version. Nonspoilery goodreads review here.

March

Bride, Ali Hazelwood — I don't like werewolf tropes enough to have enjoyed this. Fun romp if you like mates and knots.

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, Philip Gourevitch — Nonfiction; a partial account of the Rwandan genocide. (I say partial bc I think it lacks context if you, like me, don't know much about the topic going in.) Very poignant, unfortunately remains relevant; do NOT go for the audiobook version because it's dull as dirt.

Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel — The book that blorbifies Thomas Cromwell and it's also laugh-out-loud funny. Do yourself a favour and read it.

February

Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronthe — somehow I'd never actually read this in English before? Absolute banger. The first half remains superior.

American Elsewhere, Robert Jackson Bennett — I have screamed about this on tumblr before. COSMIC HORRORS TAKE OVER NEW MEXICO TOWN! Do rec.

Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier — Amazing incredibly showstopping etc.

Clarkesworld, Issue 209 — Love me some cool sff short stories. Standouts: Lonely Ghosts (Meghan Feldman); The Enceladus South Pole Base Named after V.I. Lenin (Zohar Jacobs); Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid In the Omelas Hole (Isabel J Kim)

The Perfect Arrangement

Pairings: Prince Dean x Princess Reader, King John x Queen Mary, King Bobby x Queen Karen Word count: 2,541

Read on AO3

“Y/N.” Your father, King Robert, fondly called ‘Bobby’, spoke gently, his voice full of sorrow.

Taking a deep breath, your Y/E/C eyes went from the window of the carriage, to your parents. “Yes, father?” You replied, your voice barely above a whisper.

Your mother, Queen Karen, gave you a sad smile. “We picked the best suitor for you, dear.” She told you lovingly. “Many princess and knights asked for your hand.” She went on, watching the anger flash across your face, your jaw tensing for a moment. In that split second, you looked as if you were the ruling queen. It was a bittersweet moment.

Your long Y/H/C hair was flowing down your back, two small simple braids holding the front from hanging in your face. You were sitting up perfectly straight, having it drilled into your head since you were a child. Looking back out the window, your displeasure was clear. “I have yet to see a reason why I should be celebrating being traded like livestock, mother.” You said simply.

Bobby groaned, having a love/hate relationship with your attitude. While he was grateful there was no way you would ever let anyone take advantage of you, he was often on the receiving end of it at the moment. “We have put this off long enough, young lady.” He said firmly. “Many young women your age are mothers by now!” He pointed out. “You are two years past when you were to be wed, and I cannot stall any longer.”

Raising an eyebrow at him, you gave him pure attitude. “Well, thank you so much for that, father.”

Your mother patted his hand and shook her head at him as you looked back out at the passing greenery. It was clear nothing they were saying was helping, and it was making it worse in her opinion.

It was just after nightfall when you approached the castle that would be your new home. You felt your heart rate speed up, and your rage spike. While you knew your parents had been an arranged marriage, that meant nothing to you. That had been many, many years ago. Shouldn’t things have changed by then? Not that your opinions seemed to matter any to them.

Pulling to a stop, your father was the first to exit the carriage, then your mother, and finally, yourself. You were greeted by a fairly attractive looking king, the father of your groom to be, you presumed. “Welcome to the Kingdom of Lawrence!” He boomed, a grin on his face, arms outstretched. “I am King John, and I am very pleased at your arrival. I trust your journey was safe?” He asked, looking to your father.

Bobby gave him a tight smile, and a nod. “Of course, and we thank you for having us.” He said politely.

John’s smile put you at ease, ever so slightly, but not enough to lesson the feelings you held inside you. “And you must be my future daughter.” He turned to you, holding out his hand for you.

As you took it, and curtseyed, you bowed your head. “My King.” You said kindly.

He kissed your hand quickly, but kept hold of your hand. “Let me lead you to your chambers.” He told the three of you.

“Shouldn’t you have servants to do that for you?” Your mother asked, admiring his dedication to his guests.

King John smiled, and shook his head. “Staff is limited after dark, and you are my personal guests.” He replied. “Let us talk, and get to know each other better as we move through the halls.” He motioned towards the large front doors.

Prince Sam was sitting in the library, reading by candle light when he heard his father’s voice. Grinning, he slid out of the chair and ran to him. He slid to a stop when he saw he had guests. “Oh, forgive me.” He gave them a bow. You gathered he was about 16, but could have been wrong. “Father, if you have a moment later, I’d like to discuss something with you?” He looked at John, hopeful.

“Of course.” He nodded. “I presume you’ll be in the library, as usual?” He asked, pride written on his face. Sam nodded quickly, smiling, causing John to chuckle. “Get back to your reading, son. Proper introductions at breakfast.” He shoo’d him, knowing he’d be getting rushed off to bed in the next hour or so.

Sam bowed. “Yes, father.” He turned to you and your parents. “Welcome to our home.” With that, he went back to the library, eager to finish what he was reading.

Your parents chambers were the first that you came to, and yours were closer to the King’s and Queen’s. “If there’s anything you require, think of this as your home, dear.” John told you as he opened your chamber doors for you.

Looking around, your eyes took in every detail. You looked up at him, a small smile on your face. “Y/F/C is my favorite color.” You told him, as that’s what many of the fabrics were in. They had tiny gold accents on them as well.

John grinned. “I know.” He told you. “Your father and myself have been corresponding for months, and I have taken every opportunity to learn what I can about you.” He saw the look of surprise on your face, and it amused him. “I also learned that you are very against this, and I want you to feel as at home as you can.”

You glanced back over the room. “Thank you.” You said sincerely.

“You’re welcome, my dear. Get some rest. One of our best servants will be in here to help you ready for breakfast.” He told you before you walked in further, allowing him to shut the doors.

When there was a knock on your door, you were already sitting in front of your vanity, brushing your hair out. “You may enter.” You looked over your shoulder, watching a pretty red head come in.

“Good morning, milady.” She greeted you. “I’ll be your personal lady in waiting.” She smiled. “My name is Celeste, but many call me ‘Charlie’.”

You smiled in return. “My name is Y/N.”

She shut the door behind her, giving you a small bow. “Yes, princess.” She nodded. “Shall I assist you in preparing for breakfast, princess?” Charlie offered.

“Simply help me lace up the back of my dress, if you would?” You asked her, moving your hair to the side.

“Of course, milady.” Charlie agreed, moving forward as you stood.

Your hands were together in front of you as she began to work. “May I ask you a question, Charlie?” You asked her, your eyes watching the pair of you in the mirror.

Her eyes met yours, and she gave you a genuine smile. “Of course you can, milady.” She nodded.

“What is my betrothed like?” Your voice held the tiniest bit of worry. “I mean, is he kind? Is he cocky?” You blushed.

Charlie couldn’t help but chuckle a tad at that. “We’re the same age, Prince Dean and I, actually.” She began. “When we were children, we would often play together.” That made you smile, knowing many princes were stuck up and cruel before they were old enough to see over the table. “He actually taught me to fight, as well.” Your eyebrows went up, making her laugh. “My mother had the same reaction, milady, but the King found it endearing, and allowed it.” She went on. “He’s loyal, but a bit of a flirt.” She giggled. “When we grew older, he attempted to flirt with me. I believe he was simply trying to find his way.”

“What happened?” You asked, curious.

She blushed. “I told him I had eyes for his mother’s hand maiden.” She said quietly. “She was just a few years older than us, actually.”

You gasped, an amused look on your face. “What did the prince say?”

“He said ‘me, too’.” She stepped back, admiring her work. “You’re all ready, milady.”

Turning, you gave her a grateful smile. “Thank you, Charlie. I can see us becoming good friends.” You earned a proud look from her.

“I would enjoy that.” She told you. “Shall I show you to the dining hall?”

The King and Queen were already seated when you were led in, your cheeks turning pink when you realized that you were the last to arrive. “I’m so sorry I’m late.” You gave them a bow.

John smiled as he rose. “Not to worry, my dear.” He assured you. “Now we may introduce everyone!” He sounded so happy. You hoped that he wasn’t the only one like that in this castle.

“My sons, this is Princess Y/N. Dean’s future bride.” Your eyes looked to his son’s, and your breath caught in your throat. You had seen the younger boy the night before, and highly doubted that was your groom to be. The man with green eyes winked at you with a smirk, and you were certain that was him. Charlie had said he was a flirt. “And these are her gracious parents, King Robert, and Queen Karen.” He motioned to where your parents sat. “These are my two boys, Dean, and Samuel.”

Samuel groaned lightly. “Please, call me Sam.” He muttered, making you smile.

“Please to meet you, my lords.” You greeted them.

Mary clapped her hands once, happily, a smile on her face. “The wedding will be in one month’s time, and I am personally assisting dear Y/N in planning the event.” She looked so excited.

Your eyes went wide. “I-I’m helping plan this?” You asked, shocked. You had never planned any event before. Rarely had you even had any say in your birthday parties, much to your dismay.

“Of course.” Mary chuckled lightly.

“Thank you, your highness.” You said softly before being led to your seat by your betrothed.

He looked at you, licking his lips. “It’s nice to finally meet you, sweetheart.” He greeted you.

You looked taken aback at his greeting. “And you, my lord.” You blushed.

John chuckled and shook his head. “Feast up!” He announced, letting everyone know to begin their meal.

pending time with Mary as you planned your wedding was relaxing. She made you feel like you’d known her your whole life. It made it easy to voice your opinions to her when you didn’t like the direction something was going.

You had been in the Kingdom of Lawrence for a week when she took you by surprise one morning. “You’ll not be assisting me today, my dear.” She smiled.

“What? Have I done something wrong?” You asked, confused and a tad worried.

She shook her head. “Nothing, I assure you. You’ll be spending the day in the country with the Prince.” Mary smirked. “A little picnic, some fresh air, and the chance to get to get better acquainted.” She explained simply. “I’d hate to have you entering your marriage to a complete stranger.”

You chuckled lightly. “It is appreciated, my lady.” You agreed.

“Good! It’s settled.” She beamed. “We’ll see you back in time for dinner.”

You were approaching the carriage and grew nervous as Dean stood there, his eyes on you. “You look ravishing, sweetheart.” He told you with a smile when you were just a couple feet away. “That color suits you.” He motioned to your gown.

Blushing, you smiled and glanced down at the royal blue color of the fabric. Looking up, you chuckled lightly. “I’ll tell Charlie you said so.”

He grinned, nodding. “Good ol’ Charlie.” He motioned to the carriage. “Shall we?” With his left hand, he opened the carriage door, and helped you in with his right.

“Thank you.” You said sincerely as you stepped in, getting comfortable. Once he was in, and the door shut, the carriage began moving right away. “To be honest, when your mother told me that today would not be spent assisting her, I assumed I had upset her.” You admitted.

Dean smiled at your opening up to him. “This was my idea, actually.” He chuckled at the shocked expression on your face. “My father told me about your unhappiness with this arrangement. I was hoping to at least start our marriage off as friends.” He admitted. “We will be sharing chambers, and our lives.”

You nodded at that. “It’s very appreciated, my lord.” You wanted to be sure he knew that his kindness was not being met with ungratefulness. “To be honest, I was terrified of who I’d be wed to.”

“Understandable.” He nodded. “I felt that way, too. Then I saw you.”

Raising an eyebrow, you had a slightly amused look on your face. “What if I had a truly vile personality?” You asked teasingly.

Dean chuckled, shrugging. “Well, I guess we’ll never know, now will we?” He answered.

“I guess not.” You smiled.

The morning of the wedding quickly approached, and you found yourself surrounded my maids. Your hair was done just so, your dress was perfection, flowers being checked over, and Charlie was there assuring you every step of the way. You’d begun to fall for your betrothed, and it honestly scared you. “Can everyone give me a moment?” You asked when you were just about done getting ready. “Charlie is capable of finishing up. I assure you, I will be out of my room on time.” You smiled softly at the others. They gave you a small bow and left the room.

Once it was just the two of you, Charlie saw you visibly relax. “Take a deep breath.” She told you with a small smile.

You looked at her and bit your lip. “I’m about to get married, Charlie.” You breathed, your hand on your stomach. “A-and it’s a huge deal! I do care about the prince, I really do…” You went on. “But, this is the rest of my life. There will be sharing our chambers, there will be children, and oh boy…”

She moved over to you and put her hands on your arms gently. “And you will face that as the brave and amazing woman that you are, milady.” Charlie grinned. “The prince is very lucky to have you as a bride, and I’m sure he knows that.” You smiled softly at her. “Besides, I’m always here for you, as well.”

“That is a comfort.” You nodded. “Alright, let’s get me to this wedding.” You chuckled lightly.

Charlie nodded. “If you get too nervous we can always run away.” She teased with a wink, making you laugh. “Good. Keep that pretty smile.”

Your hands were shaking lightly as you stood outside the large doors of the cathedral, your palms sweating as you gripped your flowers. Charlie was no longer by your side, having other duties to attend to for the feast that would follow. Nodding to the two guards that were standing there, they began to open the doors.

Swallowing, you worked on calming your nerves, your eyes going straight to the prince. Your soon to be husband grinned the moment he saw you. “Just breath.” You reminded yourself before your feet began to carry you towards him, and the rest of your life.

Can you write about Joel meeting *you* as a Firefly member?

The Season Of Fireflies

☾Joel Miller X F!Reader

☾Summary: When Tess and Joel go to confront Robert, what will he think when they come across not only Marlene and Ellie. But you too?

☾Word Count: 1k (or to be specific, 1042)

☾A/N: Than you Anon, for requesting this!, this one one of my most fun writes to do. Please keep requesting, I’m loving all of this!

Everything had happened so quickly, from smuggling Ellie to Tess becoming infected. Not once did you think you’d end up dating, someone like Joel. To be truthful to yourself, it all happened so quickly.

It was evening as usual, fireflies always done everything at night. It’s how they kept things a secret, for so long. You and the others such as Kim and Marlene were preparing, to move Ellie to the state house. Yet unexpectedly FEDRA officers, came storming in starting a shoot up. This left most people dead, Kim without an ear, Marlene with a gunshot wound to her stomach. And you? Well surprisingly you were all right, you were with Ellie at the time. Thankfully the officers were dumb as fuck, they shot out most people and thought they’d got them all.

Telling Ellie to stay where she was, you quickly left the room to see what mess had been caused. What you didn’t expect was to have Marlene leaning on your shoulder, on one end of the hall. While Joel, and Tess were on the other side. Guns raised. Using her knife Ellie had shot out of the room, some sort of act in trying to protect you yet it didn’t end well. Once Marlene had convinced Joel not to point his gun at her, yet instead the three of you. Things were different.

You’d seen Joel maybe once our twice in the street, smuggling buisness of course. And you’d even bought a few things off Tess, she always had good supplies. Yet neither of them knew you were a firefly, and now that made things awkward. You could tell by the look on his face, Joel never intended to hurt anyone. Certainly not Ellie, something in his eyes you noticed, made him look more daringly when he shot his head towards her.

You knew what the plan was, everyone who was in the building did. But now with the majority of them dead or injured there was not a chance, you’d make it there like this. So what happened? Marlene begged, she begged Joel and Tess to take her there, that they’d get what they want if they helped them. And for a moment you thought, that they’d laugh in your face and shoot all of you. Make off with the car battery Robert was about to sell you, when FEDRA officers stormed the place. Yet they accepted, on one condition.

You didn’t have a chance to argue, you were really the only non injured firefly there at the time, and so when Marlene said that you’d go with Ellie to make sure they didn’t kill her. Your stomach felt as if it were doing backflips, because if they were to kill Ellie. Then surely they’d kill you to? No?. Yet, you grabbed your things along with Ellie, and headed out without complaint. You hadn’t realised that it started to rain, so when you were walking back to what presumed was their apartment, the rain soaked right through to your bones. You dared not complain though, frightened at the thought of being shot to death, instead you opted to hurry Ellie along to make sure you kept up with them.

It wasn’t that far of a walk luckily, until you’d made it to the top floor of one of the buildings. Tess opened the door to what presumed was their apartment, and held it open for you and the rest to go through, before entering and locking it behind her. Ellie had followed Tess as she pointed to the bathroom, as if to say she could take a shower if need be. While she headed to the kitchen, to make some tea possibly or to map out their journey. Yet you? You followed Joel into the living room. The room was certainly homey, decorated in soft colour furniture, while they even had a sun catcher on the window.

‘What’re you staring at?’, a gruff the voice said behind you causing you to jump. Even though it was just Joel, he moved quietly. ‘Oh, I erm, nice room’ you stammered out quickly, you didn’t want to seem like a creep. The only response you got from him was a huff, as he took a seat on the sofa.

‘Look.’ You began roughly, ‘I don’t want any, funny business from you, I know what you fireflies are like.’ He warned, of course which left you a little insulted. You thought that you and the others were just trying to do good, yet you knew not everyone was onboard with your views. Honestly, it was if he could read your mind with the words that came out of his mouth. ‘We won’t kill her.’ He states, ‘or you, as long as we get our things when we had you guys over’. You nod at him, as he shifts his position to lay down. It wasn’t as if you were accustomed, to threats yet something felt…different.

To this day, you never really understood why you. Why he fell for you, and why he loved you dearly. Yet at the same time you wouldn’t have had it any other way. After leaving the apartment and making it outside the QZ, it was a bumpy ride. Especially when you all had the run in, with a fucking clicker zombie. It was even hated now Tess was gone, she’d been bitten and had chosen to sacrifice herself to save the three of you. You were forever grateful. And that’s where you had ended up, where you were now. Sat in one of the chairs, at the dining table in Bill and Franks. Ellie had gone for a shower, and a much needed one considering how long she was taking.

‘What you thinking about?’ Joel hums, as he wraps his arms around you embracing you. He could always sense the mood you were in, one of the great things about him. You tilt your head to the left, leaning it on his forearm and taking in the feeling. ‘Just how we met’. Joel chuckled in response, even he to this day. Wouldn’t have thought he’d end up with a member on the fireflies.

Yet here you both were, in the spring. The season of the fireflies.
