just a runaway from twitter. book lover. translator (to be). 🇯🇵 she/her.

I'm starting a #multitoot of #authors on Mastodon! Feel free to add to it, as I will only list the ones I recognize from #TheOtherPlace. Hoping this gains some traction; I bet many of us are trying to #FindAuthors right now.

4. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

🦊Piranesi is the Beloved Child of the House, and content within the vast, labyrinthine Halls of the World. He occasionally joins the Other in his scientific Endeavours.
🦊Solitude! Floods! Madness?
🦊As the cracks begin to show, it's hard to put down!

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

Unpopular opinion: basement mannequins should be encouraged to crawl up the stairs during a blood moon and swallow any piece of furniture whole, no matter how valuable.
I'd love to connect with you here on Mastodon if you enjoy any of the following: gothic fiction, horror books, horror movies, crows, quokkas, fancy pens, ordinary pens, puppets from 80s fantasy films, animatronics possessed by Victorian ghosts, playing calliope music in the attic, placing tiny top hats on human-faced beetles, riding a giant rat king through the sewers while singing show tunes, drinking ectoplasmic cocktails and phasing through walls.
OK, let's try the poll feature! Which of the following types of fantasy fiction is your most comfortable go-to? (Feel free to respond with a DIFFERENT option!) #fantasy #readingforpleasure #fantasybooks

This 1909 autograph book was meant to provide the owner with "ghosts" of their friends' signatures.

Potentially against our better judgements my mum is looking to join #mastodon. Could anyone recommend a good #book or #reading focussed instance? Please boost!

I haven’t tooted a proper #introduction yet so...

Hi, I’m Ayumi, tooting from #Japan.
I’m a #book lover who read ~100 books (mostly #sciencefiction & #fantasy, but also love #mystery & #horror) every year.
I’m also a PhD candidate in biology but that’s another story.

Anyway if you’re a fellow book lover, feel free to follow me!

📣 For fellow Mastodon rookies - I understand that ‘favouriting’ things doesn’t amplify them to your followers in the way that ‘liking’ would have on Twitter

So if you want to share something, you need to ‘boost’ it

Trying to get my head round a different threshold for sharing things on here!
