Phrase from the synopsis of a #book I glanced over while looking for my next read: "there’s a fine line between murder and seduction."
Uh...I...think, maybe, it's just possible that you might be doing it wrong, my guy. Also: no thank you moving quickly on!
What's up with my #reading habits lately?
Me: "I'd really like some #fantasy or #scifi comfort food. Nothing complex; maybe something cozy or slice of life, or a power fantasy where the good guys always win. I'd love that."
Me, a few hours later: "Hey! This #book was just a predictable power fantasy where the good guys always win! It was overly simple slice of life, and the conflict was low stakes. I hated that!"
It's gotten to the point where I haven't rated the last few #books I've read, because "2 stars: was exactly what I asked for!" just seems like an unfair review.
Anyway, authors: please figure out what I actually want to read and write that, then advertise it to me as what I think I want to read. Because book marketing isn't hard enough for you, right? Thanks! #bookstodon
I've been waiting for the new #Witcher book for many years. And today it's finally in my ebook reader. 😍
(I know it was released already last year, but the Czech translation was published just a few days ago.)

Vamos a anunciarlo así, con nocturnidad y alevosía, pero @spectrumgirl y yo hemos decidido que sería buena idea montar un nodo de BookWrym, la red social del fediverso para compartir lecturas. 📕
Hemos decidido que el proyecto se llame "ComeLibros Club", un pequeño club de lectura donde recomendarnos libros que nos hayan emocionado, hecho reír, etc.
Registros abiertos en comelibros.club

#AmListening to Year of the Tiger by Alice Wong. An incredible #memoir by a #disability #activist and all around interesting woman. Always appreciate real world stories of Asian women being productively angry and having a great sense of humor.

"Earlier in my life and transition, Gender Euphoria would be the book that I needed.

I'm working on an introductory #book about #decentralisation protocols. 🦄
It serves as a taster for different technologies, and provides you with a path forward to deepen your studies if you're so inclined.
I'll cover #ActivityPub, #Hyper, #IPFS, and #SSB. Each chapter is a brief intro and a hands-on project using #JavaScript.
The book will be CC licensed. If that sounded interesting, add yourself to the interested readers list at:

Join me in an exciting journey to learn about peer-to-peer technologies by building four small decentralisation projects using JavaScript.leanpub.com
