Kim Possible<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> Today, I'm reading the brand new graphic novel adaptation of THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS. It's very good. Gorgeous hardback cover and great artwork, just like THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER. I wish the lettering were not so small, cuz old.I'm grateful that the Octavia Butler estate agreed to this. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/IAmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IAmReading</a>

Edelruth In The Wrong TimelineI am thoroughly enjoying Wolfe Hall, by Hilary Mantel, despite - or maybe because? - one knows how it ends for the more well-known protagonists. It's about the other Cromwell.I started Dr Space Junk vs the Universe, by Alice Gorman, and its teaching me fascinating details about the space program.I interrupted myself to start a new, and very different detective series. #1 The Cold, Cold Ground by Adrian McKinty When I finished, it was 4am.

Maria Langer | 📝 🎬 ⚒️🛥️The book I was enjoying has turned into one of those where the protagonist has to clear her name after the antagonists have published lies about her. I find that plot device tiresome.I'm reading the book as a judge for a competition and I'm trying very hard not to let this personal preference influence my views on the book. The writing is pretty good and the world building is excellent. I just don't like this type of plot. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/IAmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IAmReading</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a>

MittenGirlPeach 🐅 ⚾️I want to share a terrific used book source with everyone on this Monday morning. I seldom buy new books other than for gifts as I mostly use my library, but I do order used on occasion through Amazon. No need to though. ThriftBooks has over 13 million titles, free shipping over $15, delivery within a week, and a buyback program.

Michaela MayaIt's 2024 and I feel myself get ever more tired of creative-writing-how-to-books written by men that only seem to draw their examples and conclusions from a small pool of fiction written by (mostly dead) white cis men. I'm not interested in this narrow view on the topic, and I would appreciate advice that is more encompassing and diverse.
