Ever since my PhD contract has ended last month, I have been going through my personal project backlog, including this very Mastodon account and actually making progress on my personal website.

Yesterday, I was thinking what to do about my Goodreads account when I discovered @bookwyrm and by proxy @OpenLibrary and @inventaire ! Obviously, I am now on bookwyrm.social.

Because my Goodreads shelves are a mess, many of my books can't be imported automatically, including some japanese light novels and web serials. The latter, I've never really bothered to track outside of dedicated websites (novelupdates, ao3, fanfiction.net) because of how difficult it is.

Big question for people in the know and #librarians, is there a database of web serials or am I doomed to add my books manually (or programmatically)?

Latest developments on inventaire.io:

- The entity editor got a navigation menu (visible only on large screens for now), as well as more subcategories

- We are now using a new barcode scanner engine, so if you were part of the people having troubles with the previous one, there are good chances that it's now fixed!

- It's now possible to search a book by scanning its barcode, with this new button in the top bar

Ça fait longtemps que le wiki et le blog de @inventaire sont hors service ?

🎁 📚 Calendrier de l'avent des livres pas terminés

💖 Trop bien les livres✨
Mais il s'agirait de les lire en entier, pas de les acheter, de les feuilleter et de les empiler dans un coin. En guise de calendrier de l'avent, je vais vous partager les livres que j'ai entamé, apprécié puis abandonné lâchement. Ce sont tous des bons livres et iels méritent mieux. En espérant qu'en 2026, je pourrais les ranger sur l'étagère des livres vraiment lus.

📚 Books: 1 – Internet: 0

Not all the internet is down though: it's a good day to update your book inventory!
