An alle Fans deutscher #Folklore und deutscher Sagen: Ich wollte noch mal auf meine #Bookwyrm -Liste hinweisen, in die ich viele deutsche Sagensammlungen einpflege.
Viele davon sind gemeinfrei und frei im Internet verfügbar!
I also added my 2021 reads to SFBA.club. 2021 was probably my worst year ever for reading... I only finished NINE (9) books. As the pandemic dragged on, I couldn't get into anything. I also started my new job just before the year started.
OK, so I want a nice book database for cataloguing my provate book collection and chose #bookwyrm. It's nice and available on #yunohost, but it's not under a free license - its "anti-capitalist license" excludes military and law enforcement and hence doesn't allow everyone to use it as a free license should.
@agger@fritjof@kzxpr@fsfe@bookwyrm are you looking to set up a private instance of #Bookwyrm then? That license relates to running an instance, not being a user of an instance.
Hey team. Where’s #BookMastodon at? Looking for the #booklover and people into self improvement really fast. Anyone have any suggestions for anyone into this phase of their life/career? Taking all suggestions. #books #bookstodon
Tiens par curiosité j’ai zieuté Babelio pour comparer par rapport à #BookWyrm.
Bah l’édition des fiches Livre est quand même bien plus poussée sur Wyrm, ça fait une belle différence. Pareil pour les multiples bases de données.
Après l’UI est quand même en retrait/austère (ceci dit, même si c’est un peu plus joli côté Babelio, ça s’éparpille pas mal aussi), tout comme l’absence de stats, mais il n’y a qu’une personne derrière son dev donc bon c’est toujours impressionnant.
Book review #8 for 2024 is Robert J. Bulkley's, At Close Quarters: PT Boats in the United States Navy.
Longest audio book I have listened to as of today! Detailed, tedious at times, but a very good history of PT Boat operations in both WW2 theaters. A 5-cup review for its subject and breadth of coverage.☕☕☕☕☕
Goodreads is horrible for readers and books. The technical platform is very badly maintained with bugs in the extreme. Amazon mine user data for nefarious purposes, for example, in building concentration camps (ICE).
I recommend anyone who's interested in keeping track of their books in a social way (if one wants; one can also use the platform so that nobody else can see your activity) to use Bookwyrm (https://bookwyrm.social), which is completely open-source and actively maintained by very kind people—you can host your own #Bookwyrm instance, which is BTW built on ActivePub—to whom I donate money to keep the site rolling; no ads, no tracking.
The best epic fantasy book I have read in a while. Tons of names, tribes, nations, cities, countries, factions, individuals clash in a massive once-in-a-millennium undertaking. What more does a bookworm need? Simply top-shelf stuff, imho.

This started as a burst binding and I converted it to sewn on flat cords. I was reading this during my off time at a recent class at the American Academy of Bookbinding and decided I wanted to take a swing at breaking down this type of binding since so many of the books I enjoy are published this way. There are signatures after all...there's just also A LOT of glue...
I have curated this list of public domain folk tale collections from around the world on Wikisource, and I am contemplating turning this into #BookWyrm lists - which would include creating entries for the books at OpenLibrary.
However, I am not sure how granular these lists should be. Should I arrange them by continent or by country or what?
@independentpen@AimeeMaroux I'm not much of an expert on #Bookwyrm , but I think cascading lists with sub-lists aren't possible. A work is either within a list, or not.
Also, I can only include whole books (or other distinct works) in Bookwyrm lists - separating individual tales would definitely be too granular.
