Besides Shakespeare, were you assigned more than one book by the same author in school? K-12, not college. @bookstodon

@albnelson @bookstodon Yeah my school had us reading at least one book by John Steinbeck per year. It got a bit old. But I still like Steinbeck.

Why would you alienate some of your best allies with such smears.

BANG UP. (WHIP.) Quite the thing, hellish fine. Well done. Compleat. Dashing. In a handsome stile. A bang up cove; a dashing fellow who spends his money freely. To bang up prime: to bring your horses up in a dashing or fine style.

    I've got some audiobook credits before I cancel my account (just not worth it when the is there 🥰). Could someone recommend some good audiobooks?

    What I am looking for:
    ✔️Cozy mysteries or cozy horror
    ✔️If romance, nothing 🌶️ because I can't listen to sex scenes being narrated to me without giggling like a middle schooler.
    ✔️Female main character = bonus
    ✔️POC protagonist = bonus
    ✔️YA or New Adult recs okay

    Thanks! 🙏🏽

    @himantra @bookstodon @horror I highly recommend "The Golem and the Jinni" by Helene Wecker. It's cozy romantic fantasy/mystery with touches of horror. Is it about a golem and a jinni (genie)? Yes! But they're in NYC circa 1900. The sequel is also delightful.

    My heart aches for the children who will no longer have access to their local library because some arrogant assholes decided to be offended by books with new ideas and different perspectives.

    The cruelty is the point.

    I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon

    @Jennifer @bookstodon I'm almost finished with Sarah Gailey's "The Mirror Wife" and it's blowing my mind! Scifi/horror really but with a strong feminist focus. Can't wait to see if my suspicions about the MC's clone are confirmed.
