Holy crap how did I miss that Lidia Yuknavitch had a new book this past summer! Thrust.

Book of Joan was one of the most fantastic books I've ever read. Has anyone read this latest of hers??

*shuts down laptop*
I think that's enough internet for today

*picks up phone*
Let's see what the pocket sized internet is doing

It's December tomorrow! How did that happen? As promised, I'll be doing a #bookishAdvent. One book recommendation a day, hidden behind a CW (so it's like opening a door, but also it won't bother people who don't want to see it, so win-win).

I'll be choosing recs from books I've read this year, but if you want to join in, it's up to you how you choose your books. Please put alt-text on any images you share. I'll be boosting from the hashtag each day.

OK, so this is interesting. Some major organizations have now set up their own Mastodon instances:

European Union: EU Voice >>> https://social.network.europa.eu/explore
German gov: Explore social.bund.de >>> https://social.bund.de/explore
Internet Archive: Explore Internet Archive >>> https://mastodon.archive.org/explore

The best things you can do for an #independent #author:

1 - Buy and read their #book.
2 - Review it! This is a huge help in beating the #algorithms and getting seen. At least give it a star #review.
3 - Buy more copies of their book for #gifts at #birthdays and #holidays.
4 - Tell people about it when you are discussing #reading. Mass #market #books get plenty of #publicity. #Indie #writers depend largely on #self-promotion (which many of us cringe at) and word of mouth.
