Some of these look really interesting! Definitely want to check out Silver Nitrate since I’ve enjoyed her work in the past. Anything catch your eye?

2022 winners of the AIGA competition for best designed books and covers of the year. I’ve bought more than a few books specifically because of the cover design and there are several of the winners here that I’ve added to my “to read” list. As much as I read digitally, I still love the physicality of books and think that...

A Dracula Daily fan made a substack for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which comes to your inbox on the days that Dracula Daily doesn’t. It’s just getting started, so I wanted to share the link for anyone who might want to get onboard before the plot picks up! Frankenstein / The Modern Prometheus really is so good. Sci fi...

Masha du Toit is celebrating the release of their books on 7 new platforms by making them free until 31st July (except on Amazon because Amazon has other ideas). Sci-fi and fantasy, LGBTQ....

I been in a lots of stress recently with social media and reading No longer human as my most recent book. So i just look for something positive to see a bit. I enjoy the Tatami Galaxy and The cat that save book for reference.

A master class in close reading, and a towering analysis of novelist Thomas Pynchon. Really good piece for being an essay published in a relatively laid-back periodical.

Update:...

Anyone else have a book (or books) that they want to read but just never seem to actually get around to reading? Any books you feel like you ought to read but never do?...

Think robots, AIs, hell even nanites or even a spaceship! Do you guys have any sci fi recommendations in this vein?

I had picked this up at a used book store a long ways back after reading nothing but rock bios for a while - thought a little historical non-fiction could beef my brain up....

Post about books you recently finished, and if you'd like, a brief review of the book here!...

I’ve never had a book that I so immediately wanted to dive right back into. If you haven’t heard of it, but like a good mystery (closer to a self-contained ARG than Agatha Christie) or a good 500 page movie review, I could not recommend it more! This weekend I'm planning to do another read-through to catch things I might...

I love these old papers. The diagrams are beautiful, and the writing style gets me every time....

As I've enjoyed the prior audiobooks in the series I am happy to hear book 3 is coming up soonish, August 1st.

I'm dragging myself through an "award-winning" "best-selling" "recommended" book I got from the library and wishing I hadn't. (Yes I know those phrases mean little and I can stop, though I'm nearing the end after hoping it would stop being so hopeless. Yes I can be naively optimistic ;) .) The characters and story are all...

I want to hear about your favorite books that include heists as a major element. Bonus points if it's set in a fantasy, sci-fi, or non-contemporary setting. (Basically I want something like Gentleman Bastards that's not just rereading Gentleman Bastards)
