The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances, by Glenn Dixon. My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fairly short read, at just over 214 pages. Cozy dystopian version of "The Brave Little Toaster." Not bad, but I wouldn't go out of your way. Current Read: Fishbone Cinderella, by Elizabeth Lim. I love myth, magic, and good writing, and this novel has all three. It is a delight so far. #books #bookstodon @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

“Modern food delivery promises to make any food into something you can eat at home. But not every dish, and not every restaurant, is built for this.” An excerpt from Gabe Bullard’s new book, AGAINST CONVENIENCE, out now from Hanover Square Press: https://longreads.com/2026/09/15/convenience-friction-eating-alone/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social #Longreads #Reading #Books #Technology #Apps #Convenience #Food

Born on this day in 1977: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, in Enugu, Nigeria. The best craft rule I know comes from her: a person is never one thing, and neither is a poem. The single story is the enemy of both. I keep Lagos time, so today's note lands close. #poetry #books #Nigeria

Hi, I'm Lazara! New to the instance, old to Fedi. This is my alt account; am an autistic enby(-something) in my mid-30s interested in #boardgames and #videogames, #retro #tech, #kink, #books, #language, and #experimental #music. More of a lurker than a poster, but hoping to change that and understand myself a bit better at the same time. Very approachable even if writing seems stiff. First person pronouns are sometimes difficult. #introduction #intropost

I intend to post things that i find interesting with some regularity and respond to your toots with my unpopular opinions, hoping for good discussions and sometimes good laughs :)

The Faith of Beasts by Corey This is very good. It's the second novel of The Captives War. Like The Expanse the author(s) does a good job having lots of different factions. Which is much more satisfying then good guy vs bad guy story telling. https://ramblingreaders.org/book/478267/s/the-faith-of-beasts #books

I never thought about it, but this is so spot-on: "None of us are writers because we fell in love with our own writing; we fell in love with other people’s writing, and we keep on falling in love with it." ~alix e. harrow #books #bookstodon @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

Hello, Mastodon. I’m Elian Veyre, a fantasy romance author writing about memory, longing, sacrifice, and magic with a price. 🌿 My first story is The Weight of What We Keep—about a sacred grove that holds generations of memories and a woman facing an impossible sacrifice. I’m here for fantasy, books, storytelling, and strange worlds. If you could preserve one memory forever, what would it be? #Introduction #Fantasy #Romance #Books
