2 people holding a playbill for “Suffs” and smiling.

Really looking forward to this one.

That was absolutely delightful. Great conversation, and have a new signed book for my collection. Thanks, @scalzi.com and @litquake.org!

Looking forward to seeing @scalzi.com tonight 🙂. I love author talks.

I’m about halfway through “Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman. I don’t usually read mysteries, but am enjoying this one.

Your Library's Hoopla Digital Collections Are Breaking Their Budget If you've noticed changes to the digital materials you can borrow from your library, that's because that access is costing libraries way more than ever before.

We don’t use CloudLibrary so I’m not positive, but I think it’s more like Libby than hoopla.

@heykellyjensen.bsky.social wrote a great article for Bookriot about hoopla and other ebook services a couple of months ago: bookriot.com/library-hoop...

Pickles is never off topic! One of my favorites since I was very young!

Completely agree with physical items and Libby, but please remember that each hoopla checkout costs your library between $0.99 and $4.99 (at least in CA), so it’s best to only get the things you actually want to use.

Having to spend several weeks recovering from a medical procedure kind of sucked, but damn did it make my July #ReadingRoundup impressive.

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”
