No one is coming to save us. We’ve got to be there for each other.

Good morning literary community! ☕️ If you could have any author (living or dead) join you for coffee today, who would it be? Let’s hear your picks!

Nothing beats real-world DR contingency plan testing! Between the power outage and now this, you're gaining a lot of real-world experience this week! (and I feel your pain! Been there, done that)

Pratchett... or Tolkein... or Pratchett AND Tolkein!

Ah! He is on bsky! (of course) @pdjeliclark.bsky.social ! Please, can we have a "Master of Djinn" series? 🧞

This is the way.

I read this one a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it! The atmosphere, plot, etc... Now, if we could just get P. Djeli Clark to turn this into a series... 🧞

Pratchett should be taught in schools. Or out of schools. Or everywhere, really. Highly recommended! #booksky #discworld

I can't decide if people who wear pajamas in public have given up on life or are living it to the fullest...

Good Morning, Skeethearts ☕️

System Collapse by Martha Wells

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Started out 2024 by reading "System Collapse" by Martha Wells (Murderbot Diaries!) and ended the year with "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin.

The timeline feature of @libbyapp.bsky.social (to get e-books from you library) is great. I read more in 2023 than in 2024. But the numbers are a bit deceiving: 23 books in 2023 and 14 in 2024. The numbers are a bit high since they also include all the books I checked out but never finished. 😱
