A major disadvantage to reading several print books in a row from your TBR shelf is that when it’s time to read your next ebook, the is nowhere to be found and impossible to locate 😳🙄🤬 @bookstodon

@TEG @YLee @bookstodon I basically want to live in a library 🤣 I would love space for a physical copy of all my books.

@TEG @stevefenton @YLee @bookstodon I just started a masters program in math and there doesn’t seem to be a good answer to maths ebooks, especially for a variety of screen sizes. PDF doesn’t flow enough. Still the reading is small part of the process - doing the homework is the pay dirt.

Simple things amuse simple minds: I "The Sharp Quillet" by Brian Flynn, book 14/15 for my 2024 and this passage made me smile. Dry understated humour (on the) rocks! @bookstodon

Reading Moray Dalton's "Death in the Forest" for and this passage rings very true as authentically Anglophone :

“You shall have that over and above the fare. Compris?”

Speak English but throw in 1 French word, to a cabbie in a Spanish-speaking country🤦‍♂️

"Preantepenultimate" is 1 of my favourite words. So how apt that my preantepenultimate book for 2023 is ALSO a favourite. My first 5/5

The last book I read for literally ended with a murderer smugly smiling & accepting plaudits for his courage and cleverness in shooting a man in the back as he tried to run away. Personally, I find this MUCH more my kind of entertaining.😀

Starting Bush's "The Case of the Missing Men", book 11/15 for my & laughing at myself: I DID "leap to an unwarranted conclusion based on these initials" not the ACTUAL, REAL writer normal readers would think of - I thought of Albert Campion🤦‍♂️😆🤦‍♂️ @bookstodon

4.5/5 @thestorygraph for Molly Clavering's "Because of Sam", book 7/15 for me in 2023. Nearly flawless, delivering all the middlebrow muddles and mellow magnanimity one could hope for. @bookstodon https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/72af6223-a3c2-4d46-bd13-9b43f47812dc
