Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

Olongo Featherstone-Haugh, President of the North American Confederacy and a low-land gorilla...was wearing a synthesizer on each arm...creating the illusion that his voice was coming from somewhere between them. His lips didn't move, so, being a politician, he may have been telling the truth.

@4thace@books.theunseen.city I always love hearing authors read their own books. It just adds so much, I can't even put my finger on it, gusto?

I bought this for my dad for Christmas a few years ago because I saw it at the bookstore and I know he likes cowboys. He got into it so much it read practically the whole series from the public library, until he eventually decided it was trashy romance novels in chaps. Now I want to see what all the fuss was about.

I'm hoping to get a new perspective on why loving our neighbor and open borders are intertwined. In particular I'm hoping for new apologia to convince my fellow Christians of the need for open borders and there having been drawn into closed border xenophobia by fear and the devil.
