Homeboy Sapiens Africanus"Now personally, think it'd be very difficult to assassinate Donald Trump, mostly because he would never get that close to a book depository. But regardless, I don't think Trump actually fears getting assassinated by Joe Biden, and the reason is because he announced it in a fundraising email. If you're dodging bullets, you don't stop to wave your Venmo QR code. 'Please somebody send me money.'"

Geir Leklem ErtzgaardEt I-landspeoblem, men viktig i min lille verden: Da #BookDepository la ned forsvant min faste bokhandel på verdensveven, men enda verre: Min tilgang til noen vanedannende bokmerker. Vet noen om disse bokmerkene er tilgjengelige andre steder? Har prøvd å søke via selskapet Alphabets søkemotor «Google» og tilsvarende søkemotorer fra andre, men uten hell. Som sagt: Et stort personlig problem. #bokheimen #Bokelsker #BokTut
Colin-Roy HunterOriginally a #webcomic on #Tapastic (as was) now #Tapas back in 2017, #ChelseaFuredi’s gripping tale #ProjectNought has been turned into a full #GraphicNovel. Despite the #SciFi label, this is intrinsically about affinities and characters growing together. There is a surprise twist, so I am being careful about my comments. This is a quick, well-paced read with gorgeous #artwork. I ordered my copy back in February from and prior to the demise of #BookDepository (taken over & subsumed by *m*z*n).

Jorge González Belmar@bookstodon Tangentially, now I'm waiting for my last ever purchase from #BookDepository : the Everyman's Library edition of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation).
And I have a copy of The Brothers Karamazov (in a Spanish Penguin Classics edition) waiting for me to read it since last year...
