Hope everyone has a good week!
Hope everyone has a good week!
Mine’s not so much a pile so much as at least half of my bookcase. And it’s a little bit of everything!
Struggling to get over a lingering cold this week, but pretty much good other than that!
Have a good week everyone!
Started a new farm this morning, ha ha! I’ve barely played since before the 1.5 update, so I’m excited for all the new content!
It’s only Monday, but so far getting things done this week.
Have a good week, everyone!
Have a good week, everyone!
Board games would be a good one!
The weekly “What are you playing?” thread, too!
We have a literature community, but I would love it if we had more activity there. I just like talking about books, ha ha!
Are the readers-in-residence allowed to read their books on their phone?
In simpler terms, you won’t find labels like “fiction” or “biography” on the shelves. Instead, you’ll find genre labels lifted from book titles (“Living by Fiction”), poetry lines (“Flood the Margins”) or wordplay (“Subject, Object, Predicament”).
I get what they’re going for, but good grief that sounds like it would be annoying if you’re looking for a particular book.
I haven’t even completed all the 1.5 stuff yet, ha ha!
Hope everyone has a good week!
Interesting article!
The use of AI should be disclosed to readers “where appropriate,” the guidelines read, though, as with so much else, precisely where that line is drawn is left to the author.
I would appreciate a disclaimer like this, because I’m not interested in reading books written by AI. But that does beg the question of where to draw that line and where the distinction between authors using AI as a supplementary tool (e.g. to fill in a description of a room like the writer mentioned doing), and where the AI is doing big chunks of the writing itself lies. How much AI assistance to too much?

Having a night to meet up with some friends, got a day planned for volunteering at a local non-profit, and finally getting to dive into The Expanse book series, among all the day-to-day stuff!
Congrats on the job(s)!
How are we already in the second half of February? Has this month absolutely flown by for anyone else?
Busy week coming up, but mostly with events and activities that I’m looking forward to. Hope everyone has a good week!
I’m in the same boat. I tried Storygraph and the error rate importing from Goodreads was too high for me and it was missing some features I use to keep my books organized.
I’d love to move away from an Amazon-owned company, but all the alternative are lackluster, at least for me.
My bank account tells a different story.
But seriously an interesting article! I had no idea that such a huge swath of books simply aren’t profitable, even for the big publishers. Wild!
