@Xavier@infosec.exchangeHey there #bookstodon folks. Would love help finding my next #audiobook adventure. I just finished the latest book in "Dungeon Crawler Carl" and, while amazingly fun, it reminded me that I try to only read series that have endings. I hate waiting for the next book!
So what are…
@timbray@cosocial.caAt the public library.

@UP8@mastodon.socialJOINT REVIEW: Class, by Paul Fussell
(... nice to see this classic book get some attention!)

@theDuesentrieb@social.linux.pizzaSosehr 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

@Tuxramus@social.linux.pizzaI 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
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioI have MANY issues with the #YouTube algorithm, but every now and then it just recommends me a #video of some random person with 6 views and 92 subscribers looking absolutely delighted as they review the #books they’re reading.
And I can’t stop smiling watching these videos every now and then because they are so human, earnest, and wonderfully awkward.
@emd@cosocial.caJust 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!

@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeBrownies 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

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioPhew 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!!

@TFG@social.linux.pizza @PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeShould 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
@matthiasott@mastodon.social @mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioThe 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!

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioCool 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!)
