If you live in California, and have the ability to get the Marin Public Library card, do it for the Libby benefits alone.

I just discovered that they have electronic access to every magazine ever basically (including international and niche titles), on demand and you can even subscribe and get them automatically added every time a new issues comes out.

I’m canceling my New Yorker/NYMag subscriptions, and catching up on the Paris Review and all the esoteric literary journals that only MFA students read.

Halfway through this Canadian SF anthology and every short story/poem so far has been great. Highly recommend, available from Bakka Phoenix Books dot com on Harbord or fine booksellers near you. @pluralistic has a contribution as well 😊 #Canadian #Toronto #SF #CurrentlyReading #SciFi #Fantasy

Mein guter Vorsatz für dieses Jahr ist es endlich mal meine ganzen angefangenen Bücher zu Ende lesen. Also den #currentlyReading-Stapel zu verkleinern.

Gestern auf der Bahnfahrt habe ich zwei Bücher fertig gelesen. Jetzt darf ich auch ein neues anfangen für die #qwrc- #ReadingChallenge.

Diesmal ein Buch von der Liste von Dandelya: The Mermaid, The Witch and The Sea von Maggie Tokuda-Hall.

Cory Doctorow's Enshittification hardcover book on a dark brown place mat. The cover shows a swearing poop emoji and the title and author in white sans-serif letters.

To the left, a small wintery LED light, and to the right a beige, almost empty coffee mug that says "stay wild".

#CurrentlyReading "Move Slowly and Build Bridges" by our #FediFriend @rwg. It's a story about the people who built the #Fediverse. Mostly good people doing good work, along with a few who made questionable decisions and a few outright stinkers. Lots I didn't know in here. It's a great read, highly recommended to all FediFriends and FediCurious. 📖 👍 😁 #Books #Literature #Technology #ActivityPub

Photo of a book lying on a dark brown tabletop. The artwork on the cover is abstract and resembles a dark stained glass window (to me, anyway!). The title, subtitle and author appear on the cover: "Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media" by Robert W. Gehl.

Book 49 is "Judas Unchained" by Peter F. Hamilton, second in the Commonwealth Saga.

Edit: finished 6th August.

#CurrentlyReading #Bookstodon #PeterFHamilton #CommonwealthSaga #JudasUnchained

The cover of the book.

An insectoid-looking organic spacecraft is flying in front of a much larger "traditional" spaceship that is larger than the image and disappears far out of shot. In the background there is a red sun.

Book 50 of 2025 is "Return of the Ancients", part of the British Library's Tales of the Weird series and edited by Katy Soar.

Edit: finished 12th August.

#CurrentlyReading #Bookstodon #KatySoar #BritishLibrary #TalesOfTheWeird #ReturnOfTheAncients

The cover of the book. 

The image is all in yellow on a black background. A giant woman in a toga is raising her hands, standing above a burning castle-like building with telegraph posts. Half a dozen small people are silhouetted against the flames, while large doves fly around the woman. Her hair flies off in all directions, becoming constellations amid the stars of the night sky overhead.

Book 47 is "Diaspora" by Greg Egan.

Edit: finished 15th July.

#CurrentlyReading #Bookstodon #GregEgan #Diaspora

The cover of the book.

It is hard to say whether this is a smear of jam through breadcrumbs or a comet through asteroids but it feels like it should be the latter, given the subject material.

The cover of the book. 

An old timey illustration of a hot air balloon at the top above the title has a person hanging onto a rope dangling below.

@RunalongWomble hello I'm good thanks, I hope you are well too. I've been in a bit of a reading slump so to kick start the urge to read again I have been re-reading The Discworld series. I'm currently reading Feet of Clay. The Watch books are probably my favourite set of books in the Discworld series as I love the character and world growth you get with them
