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!!

"History does not belong only to the past: it is still burning."
Excellent #book about #cameroon and the brutal end of empire.

A reading of the book Massive Massive Oil Slick by Sean Ashton.

Finished #reading Jules Vernes "Tribulations of a Chinaman in China" (Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine // Die Leiden eines Chinesen in China) today.
I liked every book of JV I've read. But this was the first one literally made me laugh. Was a lot of fun. Poor Soun.

"Everything is Tuberculosis" by John Green is a 2025 non-fiction book everyone should read.
Tuberculosis kills more people each year, once again, than any other disease. Now that
John was a chaplain at a children's hospital before he became famous, after he and his brother Hank Green invented vlogging. This is his second non-fiction book. Everything he writes is GREAT.

Just found this #book of stories based on #TheStand by #StephenKing. Now seems a good time to read about the end of the world as we know it.

"The Wager-a tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder", by David Grann. You get exactly the history lesson you expect: the hardship of life at sea in the 18th century, the lack of medical understanding, and the collapse of civil behaviour under life-threatening situations. And the incredible survival of some of the crew, and the following courtmarshall.

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 love Mortal Engines and i love reading stories in that universe. If you like those perfect books you will also enjoy this. Not on the same level as the OG series.

The weather is cold and wet.
I'm not sure if there's a lot of outdoor activity today. But I've finished a book and wrote a quick review on #bookwyrm .
Funny - I NEVER wrote reviews on any platform. No Idea why but nowadays I'd only put it on bookwyrm because then I do not give my writing to any company for free.

5 - I went to Brooklyn’s #Book Festival last month and it was FULL.
So many people even at the very end of the day - people buying books, people walking around and sitting down in any spot they could find in the park to start reading what they got.
I heard multiple vendors talking to each other about how they didn’t bring enough stock to meet demand that day - in fact I couldn’t buy anything from multiple vendors I wanted to support because they had so few books left, and sold out of the ones I was interested in.

"Chaise Longue" describes the unconventional, alcohol and drugs-fueled early life of Baxter Dury.
Entertaining, funny, sad and chaotic-not unlike his music.

Hate to bring up HP but no other book has given me as close a feeling as when I read HP. Truly a joy to read with the world feeling both real and magical.

Cool personal announcement: I’m now working with Hachette Book Group, 3rd largest publisher in the world! 📚😍
I’m helping with their email #marketing on their executive marketing strategy team for the next 1.5 months. Got many book lists to curate!
This is a dream come true in many ways, reading is my longest-standing and most consistent hobby. I don’t know who I would be if I wasn’t constantly surrounded by books - definitely not the Mariya before you today.
As a reader, as a writer - getting to see publishing from the inside and help promote products that I fundamentally believe do good in the world is a relief and a blessing. I’m so honored and lucky.
(Don’t worry, my agency is not going anywhere and we are still very much working with other clients!)

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝: 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 by Charles Perrow. It made a big impression on me when I first came across it but when I put it in my backpack for a trip to Binghamton I recalled that the versions of many incidents in it aren’t the best you can find in the literature.
Not sure how well it aged: flying has gotten safer and people don’t write about maritime accidents like they did in the 70’s
