@starkraving666 I’m on a bit of a book binge and have been sharing the cover of each book I read. As most are ebooks from the local library (shout out #libbyApp) the covers vary

I don’t know what the reasoning for this is but it fills me with incandescent rage. Libby, what used to be OverDrive, changed how deep searching works so you can only search across catalogs if your search results are 100 titles or fewer. I don’t know if they utterly hate those of us that have non resident library cards, or if it’s too difficult to manage a global catalogue, but this is infuriating. Now I have to look up multiple libraries one at a time and it’s utterly ridiculous.

Deep searching is not available when the unfiltered search has 100 results or more.

Oh fuck you Libby! Maybe I want to spend my afternoon browsing your global catalog. I often browse by tags, which has 200 results or so after filtering but now I feel like I can’t even utilize my nonresident library cards effectively without having to waste my time and perform the same search across multiple libraries one search after the other, one search at a time. It’s utterly ridiculous. #Libraries

Prüfte heute die Konditionen zur Kündigung meines #BibliotheksAusweis|es @stadtbibliothekstuttgart. Dabei stellte ich erfreut fest, dass darin ein Abo für @riffreporter inklusive ist. Also doch nicht gekündigt 😉

Mein Frust über die sehr schlechte Auswahl an #Bücher|n + #Hörbücher|n via #LibbyApp bleibt – mehr noch, wenn sie jetzt ernsthaft von Sprach-Modellen generierten Schund in den Katalog aufnehmen.

Some of the books I've read I've borrowed from my county library using the #LibbyApp

I've got two that are coming up soon but wow, I've been waiting a long time.

I got in line for "Atmosphere" by Taylor Jenkins Reid on July 8, 2025 and I got in line for "If I Told You I'd Have to Kiss You" by Mae Marvel (audiobook narrated by Mia Hutchinson-Shaw) on Aug 26th of last year.

Hard to believe it's been this long.

Decided to use the #LibbyApp and resurrect my Kindle 2.0 and discovered the lithium battery is permanently dead. Used #iFixit to open and take it out and have ordered a replacement from a random Amazon seller. Hopefully it will arrive in a few days 😐

The cool thing about school breaks is there's time to do some reading. Finished this one up today. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #books #ReadingList #LibbyApp

Fly Tying with Common Household Materials

Novice fly fisherman start fly tying with a predictable set of materials. Their benches are neatly arranged with small bags of elk hair, pheasant feathers, stray pieces of chenille and yarn. But eventually they find that not only are these materials more expensive than they need to be, they are also largely unnecessary. And so they starts making substitutions, using trial and error to gradually build up a bench of...

Currently listening to "What's Our Problem: A Self-Help Book for Societies" by Tim Urban on Libby for free through my local library.
