Phew finally managed to track down a copy of “Enshittification” by @…
Was weirdly hard to find it in NYC today! I tried multiple bookstores and had to wonder around multiple floors of the Union Sq. Barnes and Noble to find a sole copy tucked away on a sociology shelf.
Not sure if I’m just too early, since I was looking around 1 pm on the day the book officially released, or if the bookstores are sleeping on it.
In either case - I have it and I’m delighted to be reading it!!

Just finished First Lie Wins, by Ashley Elston: https://ashleyelston.com/books/first-lie-wins/
If you like mysteries and spies, it’s a great read, super fun.
Gonna check out her other books now!

Brownies to celebrate book release day! Good thing I'm better at writing than knitting socks. Now I just need to find a magic pen that would let me write fascism away. #bookstodon

I got two books in the post today from Cork. I can't wait to read them. I love the artwork in The Madness of King Goll. Both books are available from #books

Sosehr ich die Rad der Zeit bisher (3.Band) auch mag, ich schwöre, jedes Mal wenn die Amyrlin eine fischige Metapher raushaut, höre ich in meinem Kopf ein Sitcompublikum lachen.
Robert Jordan meinte wohl man könne seine Charaktere nicht ohne ihre signature moves auseinanderhalten.. womit er vollkommen recht hatte.
Zum Glück gibt es die WheelOfTime Compendium App

Content warning: multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis
As with covid, you don't want to give TB the chance to evolve, either. There already is a multiple-drug-resistant strand of TB (or more than one, probably - I'm not up on the details). I remember reading a book about it, Tracy Kidder's book about Dr Paul Farmer.

The fundraising letter I got from #NYPL (New York Public Library) this week has some fantastic news:
They are raising money because of “book checkouts doubling and tripling at some branches”.
People are READING!
People are continuing to read, despite the popular narrative that everyone just wants to sit scrolling video feeds and chatting with bots all day. People want books, people have the attention span to read them, and at the very least some libraries are thriving.
Have hope in people!

Should I have finished the print cover before today? Absolutely. But instead, let's be impressed I learned how to make textures from my own photos. Used that to make the texture for the back cover. https://www.megancarney.com/books.html
