Question for #Bookstodon ....
I'm looking to migrate away from Goodreads (luckily I didn't get too far into using it).
Hoping for something very open/non-corporate.
Thoughts on #Bookwyrm vs #Openlibrary ?
Bookwyrm seems to be missing a lot of books. And the work to add them seems a waste when I can go upstream to OpenLibrary. OL lacks the social features but Bookwyrm seems very uh... basic & kinda ugly. 🤔
Review: The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
https://nullrouted.space/2026/02/28/review-the-fire-next-time-by-james-baldwin/
It #SolarPunkSunday so here is my new novella, about a 70year old woman, probably autistic and struggling to fit in because her village has a very tight sense of community. To avoid being seen as reclusive, she accepts a leadership role for it's easier to socialize over work, but things get rough when a colonizer invades, and she has to coordinate the defense of her decentralized and unarmed nation. Read a sample and pre-order. https://www.ododopress.com/novellas/the-blossoming-of-the-big-tree/
It's March 1st, so here's the two books I read in February.
I finished 14 books in January 2026, which was more than I usually get through in a month. I did a 30-day digital detox, so I was avoiding social media and not watching anything aside from exercise videos and new episodes of Drag Race.
January's non-fiction selection paired perfectly with my digital detox. I *highly* recommend that everyone read Cory Doctorow's Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. (Hi, @pluralistic!)
Where I previously typically would only read one book at a time, this is when I got into the habit of having an audiobook or two in progress along with an ebook on my Kobo. I like that I can listen to a book while doing chores or preparing dinner, but I prefer an ebook and white noise at bedtime.
After nearly doubling my 2025 reading goal of 40 books, I decided not to set a goal for 2026 as far as a number of books or pages. I'd rather focus on quality (or at least enjoyment) over quantity.
That being said, I am going to try to read every day and to finish at least one non-fiction book per month. You know, to grow or whatever.
Read so far in 2026, as of March 1st:
22 books totaling 10,526 pages
Average time to finish: 5 days

Blog - #Books in February 2026
TL:DR; 7 books, 2,155 pages. 3 novels, 2 non-fiction, 2 roleplaying.
Highlight of the month was @cstross’s “The Regicide Report”, which brought the Laundry Series to an end.
Antti Tuomainen’s “The Winter Job” was fun with a wry humour.
Underwhelmed by “Project Hail Mary” (Andy Weir), which felt too much like “The Martian” for me.

I just heard someone refer to Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir, as "hope punk". I really like that.

Trööt: ein freundliches Hallo ins Fediverse!
Seit einer Weile schon schaue ich mich hier um. Heute will ich endlich mal aktiv werden.
Ich lese gerne spanischsprachige Literatur, vor allem aus Lateinamerika. Gibt es hier Menschen, die sich ebenfalls dafür interessieren?
