2023 Reading Pinned Thread I'll be (trying to) reply to this for my reads this year to keep them all in one place and easy-to-find.

Finally got a bsky invite... does anyone still use it?

So now IG is advertising Threads with transphobic posts. I don't have threads, you can't report the ad in IG, so I guess just PSA if you have IG that you might get hate speech forced upon you.

@dudleymbc if you fancy some extra income from parking offenses, come by every weekday 3pm and see the numerous violations around Olive Hill Primary.

@WestMidRailway Thanks. I had the same issue with the trainline app so bought paper tickets.

@r4i7 Good morning, there is nothing been brought to light regarding it not working, so I shall investigate this now! In the meantime can I advise you try using the LNR app or National Rail, failing this try a ticket vending machine at a station! Thanks in advance ^JH

@WestMidRailway any issues with the WMRW app today? Keeps failing to find anything in search when other sources suggest trains are running. Can't buy a ticket either. 🤔

Curious how they will tackle the theme of faith from book 3 when it relies on everyone & their dog knowing about the Eros/Venus etc... 🤔

Watching #TheExpanse having read (some of) the books alongside someone who has read none; they kind of did Naomi, Bobbie & Amos dirty. I only just finished S2 of the show admittedly but Naomi especially and my OH doesn't like her now. In the books she's so much better...

Nabbed a #SwytchGO pre-order kit; even managed to get in on the 2nd batch (Jan/Feb 2024). In time for some Spring cycles next year.

Who the heck at @Capgemini decided to have white-on-white in these graphics? That's poor design even if you totally ignore accessibility. #RWC2023 #IREvTON

I'm a bit bummed to be missing #FantasyCon this weekend seeing as I live so close. I can't justify the ticket price 😫 Anyone having out-of-con get togethers?

Actually, I don't think I've read anything longer than 4 books to a series.

22/40 - fin 27 Aug Abaddon's Gate (Expanse, 3) James SA Corey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh gosh this series. I do love space operas and considering I've never read a series longer than 5 book, I'm amazed how much I'm still enthralled. goodreads.com/book/show/1613…

21/40 fin 09 Aug Light of Impossible Stars by @garethlpowell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars) Yes, it is the first series I've finished this and probably the first time I've started & finished a series in the same year for some time 🤯 Great stuff! goodreads.com/book/show/4908…

@craigbookwyrm @scrimscribes I read book 1 last month and hoping to get to book 2 later this month (academic reading permitting).

If you're in England or Wales, please take a look at Zoteria: an app for reporting anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes anonymously. stonewall.org.uk/zoteria

They know what they did 🤣

When a horror book's blurb mentions nothing of the sort, please don't start your review with the word "Lovecraftian" because then you've just spoilt ALL OF IT.

I love reading Grimdark Magazine's reviews, so this was a wonderful surprise to get today! 😄 Check out their write-up of Those Left Behind! ✨🚀
