Do #Bookwyrm and #Bookrastinating not draw from the same sources? We get different results when searching on one versus the other -- if we add a book to one doesn't it become available for the other?
(Would it be preferable to stick to one federated book tracking platform?)
1/ A request: If you have read one of my #folklore books and are on #BookWyrm , would you consider leaving a review?
I have a few reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, but since Mastodon is my main social media platform these days, I'd like to embrace the #Fediverse spirit.
2/ For the record, my first book is on #Bookrastinating, but apparently it hasn't imported to #BookWyrm yet - so you might have to click on "Load results from other catalogues" to find it.
I have an account on the latter, but unless I am mistaken I can't actually find anything from the former.
EDIT: Okay, apparently you can find books and users on other Bookwyrm instances, but it requires some extra steps - for instance, you need to "Load results from other catalogues" if you want to find books from other instances, or type in the full account name (such as "juergen_hubert@bookrastinating.com") if you want to find another user.
For those who haven’t seen it before, here is my review of The Climate Book, by Greta Thunberg…
I've read dozens of books about climate change, and this one is easily the best. It's packed with information, written to be accessible for anyone from high school (or a bright middle school student) on up, and most importantly it does NOT shy away from the true severity of our situation and the imperative need not only for individual action but for system change.
It's stunning to me that a young woman who just turned twenty years old was able to pull together such a massive project — coordinating the submissions of more than a hundred scientists, activists, and educators — while also writing a large part of the content herself. A truly amazing accomplishment.
This essential work should be in every school library and in every home. It will remain relevant for years to come, I believe, because although there certainly is plenty of data, mostly it's about ideas which will never age.
@breadandcircuses Nice. I'm trying to like/share your review from my #bookrastinating account, but when I look up your #bookwyrm account there, the book isn't there. The different bookwyrm instances can share/like each others content, no?
