I joined #HardcoverApp 📕 (@hardcover) a few days ago, imported all of my #Goodreads data, and as a #Bookworm, I'm super impressed! It didn't take me long to decide to become a paid supporter. 🤗 It's completely free, but you can become a supporter for some extra goodies.

I'm reading two different books from H.P. : "A Confession of Unfaith" and "Philosophical Essays". But I found out that several essays appears in both books, which makes my reading easier. Fewer pages left to be read soon. Love it.

Finally I found the Lovecraft's essay I mentioned in the previous post. Because of Mastodon's words limit in the post, I share my POA.ST post here:

This may be a silly question, but how does one actually read short story collections? Is it the same as if reading a novel? Do you put the book down between every story? Do you look for connections between the stories? Am I supposed to read them linearly?

Do you know of a book recommendation engine that will suggest fiction books based on the non-fiction books I read and like?
I want to get more into fiction, and it’s been hard to nail down books that can keep my interest beyond the first few chapters. Thanks in advance! And please boost for wider exposure.

Reader/writer question: In fiction what are some of your favorite worldbuilding details, the kind of thing you think is underused and underrated?

21% and I am intrigued and seeing all the foreshadowing 👀 I love that the story per se is also quite short haha @bookstodon

Yes, I confess: I'm a bookoholic
But I'm not ashamed: got two Jules Verne's classic books:
• From The Earth To The Moon
• Around The World in 80 Days
I have more busy days to spend reading!

The first page of my "Fantasy/Attempted Comedy" story, The Last Philosopher.
I've been rewriting it again, but this first page still has some issues.
The question is would you keep reading? ☺️

Random question: how are you using the ? I have my main account where I post all kinds of things (but I'm a dm at heart). I have a pixelfed account where I post random b/w pictures. I have another automated account where I post some rss feeds. And my blog is federated as well.

But how are you guys using it?

I for example didn't get into or at all, the latter I don't even really get the use for.

Decided to pick this #Horror #Fantasy series up. #Necroscope, by Brian Lumley. My hubby has had it for many years and I was suddenly in the mood for this genre. I am thoroughly enjoying it. There are many #books in the Necroscope universe. About 20 of them.

Brian Lumley just passed away on January 2, 2024.

What’s better than discovering a new author? Finding out they have a completed eight-book sword & sorcery series.

It took me a little while to get around to it, but I've finally updated the "how to build a cluster" tutorial on the @Raspberry_Pi site for Raspberry Pi OS . So if you want to take a go at building your own , now you can! https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/cluster-raspberry-pi-tutorial/

Trying for again:

  1. Kumquats and a yummy mini papaya granola bowl for breakfast.
  2. Quiet reading time on a Sunday evening. I'm still reading Jenny Colgan's Mure series.
  3. Watermelon and lemon-scented shower foam.
