🚨 As a notice: 🚨

If you want to join Standard Mastodon (instead of a fork) on a quiet instance (I'm by far the most active member 🤣 ) please DM me for an invite to Booktoot dot club, an instance for discussing books and other stuff (it is not a crime to discuss podcasts or riverdale or videogames or whatever lol).

I love this instance, and I would love to have more book-buddies! 🥰

Okay #YAMGBookClub since no one nominated anything this week, energy seems kinda low so I'm just nominating / mandating Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz for October. I normally wouldn't, but it was such a close poll last time that I feel like I'd be doing it a disservice to not have the club read it.

This is my book, podcast, and TV account. Riverdale tooting is supposed to happen on this account, but it usually can't be contained!

Fave books: The Book of Lies Trilogy (Agota Kristof),
Song of Achilles (Madeline Miller)
Wayward Children Series (Seanan McGuire)

I run #YAMGBookClub which I hope to resurrect this year if there's interest.

Storygraph is in the profile, I'm also on #BookWyrm if you happen to be!

doesn't matter, I found a bunch =)

I wish libby had nicer filtering options. It'd be nice to filter things on my wishlist tag like "show all available romances" or something

Trying to check out romances with libby today, but my internet keeps crapping out. Relying on my phone as an access point sort of works, but it's hard to browse.

Anyway, given today's events the plan is to check out a bunch of fluff.

I mean I want to be clear: this is annoying but not world-ending, and usually it leads to "wait this book is about WEREWOLVES and Lyme disease? Cool!" once I start reading it.

You know one of the "Cool" things about ECTs and TBR lists?

I cannot remember WHY I wanted to read a book. I don't mean that in a "this SUCKS" way, I mean,

I will add a book to my TBR and / or Libby because something sounds cool about the book (maybe from a podcast? I listen to a lot of them) but then when it comes time to check them one out, it's hard for it to stand out unless it has a cool cover or something. Because I remember NOTHING about it.

Me: Oh New Book from Cat Sebastian? Maybe I should see which ones I don't own and put them on a wishlist.

Kobo, gently, after I open a new tab for a specific book: ...you already own this book.

(times like, 8)

I think it's partially the interface? Like, If I own a book, I probably don't need to see if it's 11 dollars or w/e. I mean, I suppose I do, if I want to make other people buy the book, but the point is I find the UI unfriendly.
