Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry
It gives you book recommendations based on ✨vibes. ✨ You enter a search query like “funny scifi” and it returns a list of (hopefully!) good recommendations.
It could be kind of lame to poke fun at a site that I don’t use (anymore), but I find this funny enough to share: Goodreads has started changing and updating their site last year, but apparently they’ve broken a ton of things in the process, and now they’ve published an announcement with the list of 12 bugs they’re...
The longlist has been announced! It features work from four continents, four Irish writers, four debut novelists – and ten authors who are recognised by the Booker Prize for the first time...
Emotions run high on Goodreads. In fact, I tell every author navigating their first book launch to stay off it.

For decades, Annie Ernaux has written fearlessly about sex, abortion and illness - laying bare herself and society. Deeply intimate and political work that earned the French writer the Nobel Prize for literature last October. Ernaux spoke to France 24’s Fatimata Wane at the Taormina book festival in Sicily, where she was among...
I guess it makes sense for this sort of thing to happen now. Goodreads doesn’t have a way to prove someone bought a book and with folks there that get review copies, probably won’t get the features. If authors didn’t have a hard enough time publishing, yet another thing to worry about.
For the entirety of my writing life, Cormac McCarthy has been a mountain. Some of the novelists of my generation found the mountain beautiful; others found it oppressive. But virtually all of us, whatever our position or attitude, existed in its shade....
Who is Dr. Seward? Are the spiders his pets?
