I noticed that I can't leave the page number blank when I post updates on my BookWyrm account. I'm listening to an audiobook, so I don't have pages.

(Amusingly I'm listening to a story about a vampire living in the modern-day U.S., so this is making feel that feeling of "uh, my circumstances are an odd exception to the way things are implemented." heh.)

Picture of two lines, and a happy, little stickfigure reader. The first longer line: TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO GET THROUGH MY READING LIST The second shorter line: TIME LEFT BEFORE THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE Reader: OOO, THIS BOOK LOOKS I SHOULD BUY IT

What do you mean OR? ๐Ÿค”
I can broil in existential dread and plot a fantasy series at the same time. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Luckily I don't make mistakes, at least not any I'm willing to admit too ๐Ÿ˜œ

Post by C.G. Drews Apparently some people go to bed and just...sleep??? They don't plot a 7-book epic fantasy series or softly broil in existential dread or replay every mistake they ever made??? And then they wake up [checks notes] REFRESHED? | just. It sounds a bit fake.

Bookwyrm โ€” One Month In

A month ago, I wrote that I would like to try Bookwyrm (#Bookwyrm: a social network for tracking your reading, talking about books). Now, one month and three books later, it might be a good time to write about my first impressions.

OpenLibrary?!

There are definitely some arguments to use Bookwyrm and related services. With related I mean the OpenLibrary: https://openlibrary.org/! An Open Data [โ€ฆ]
