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

A little cheery news for this wet Tuesday morning. Whether it be War and Peace or The Very Hungry Caterpillar, according to a study from the University of Cambridge, regardless of “what or how we read”, sitting down with a book is linked to improved health and problem solving. Benefits include lowering stress and reducing the risk of dementia, and span all types of reading, from comic books to classic novels or hefty non-fiction tomes. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/psychological-medicine/article/reading-and-associations-with-brain-health-cognition-wellbeing-and-mental-health/1A3565FA61831A975813113DE1AB2B09 #Reading #Bookstodon #GoodNews

Powieść otarła się o 10/10, ale jednak odjąłem za jakieś tam drobiazgi. Cieszę się, że nie jest to powieść w stylu "mężczyźni zawsze źli, kobiety zawsze dobre" i że tak naprawdę to krytyka pewnych przemian w świecie. Dystopia z jednej strony wymagająca, ale z drugiej wciągająca. Choć dla niektórych będzie trudna do przebrnięcia ideowo. https://lubimyczytac.pl/ksiazka/opowiesc-podrecznej/opinia/100973798 @ksiazki@fedigroups.social @bookstodon@fedigroups.social #książki #bookstodon #Fediksiażki #książkodon #czytam #Readlist2026PL

Naomi Klein's new #book "End Times Fascism. And The Fight For The Living World" is out, here's an adapted #essay giving #hope and inspirations for resistance. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/sep/13/end-times-fascists-essay A "post-capitalist and pro- (all of) life fight. Deeply democratic, socialist, feminist, multiracial, multispecies, internationalist, generous, courageous and animate. Embodied and sensory, proudly earthbound." #resistance #future #longreads #TESCREAL #DemocracyMatters #democracy #bookstodon #solarpunk

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

My Manila International Book Fair haul! Went on a splurge but I am definitely happy that I bought more Filipino books 😊 @bookstodon@fedigroups.social #bookstodon #books

"It was out of this pathos of distance that they first arrogated the right to create values for their own profit, and to coin the names of such values: what had they to do with utility?" Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals #books #philosophy #nietzsche #bookstodon

Does anyone have a list of book blogs, legit book reviewers, book magazines, and such places a Mastodontian author could get visibility for their book? Speaking for myself and other indies that could use the boost, since many of us have left META and need new ways to share the exitement of new releases.

3 years ago, I set myself a challenge to read a book from every country in the world. Today, I finished my 99th book and will select my 100th. I’m still not even halfway round the world but 100 feels like a milestone. At this rate, it might be another 5 years before I finish this challenge but I’ll certainly be older and wiser at the end. #books #Bookstodon

Note to book reviewers: DO NOT REVIEW AI-GENERATED BOOKS, do not talk about them, do NOT give them screen time - more you give them space, more hate-buys you are helping to bring to the scammers. They rely on hate watching, hate reviewing, and the those who want to support "AI books" and are attracted to the reviews for sales. Uplift real books from real authors instead. That actually helps fight the AI bubble. #Books #Book #BookReview #Bookstodon #BookReviews #AI #FuckAI #NoAI

29/52/2026 Terry Pratchett - Równoumagicznienie Wydawnictwo Prószyński i S-ka Tym razem autor próbuje odpowiedzieć na bardzo ważne pytanie: dlaczego kobiety nie mogą zostać magami? Muszę przyznać, że ta część Świata Dysku wciągnęła mnie od pierwszej strony, jest bardziej dopieszczona fabularnie, absurd miesza się z poważnymi kwestiami, zaś ilość odniesień do współczesnego świata, niestety nadal aktualnych, tym bardziej wciąga. Do tego jest bardzo lekka, nawet nie chodzi o to, że jest krótka, jednak inne części bywają dość ciężkawe, zwłaszcza na początku, gdy w możliwe absurdalny sposób Pratchett wprowadza nas w daną postać (tak było chociażby przy "Straż! Straż!" czy "Kolorze magii", gdzie początki były nieco męczące) a tutaj właśnie wsiąknąłem od początku i chyba mógłbym polecić tą książkę komuś, kto nie zna "Świata Dysku". #bookstodon #książki @ksiazki@fedigroups.social

I’m terrible with reading book series, as far as one book right after the other, yet here is book two in Karon’s Mitford series (finished the first one about an hour ago). #bookstodon

Does anyone have recommendations for a great non-fiction book about the Meiji Empire era in Japan? #bookstodon

Well, this is interesting! Sighted people in my life, some of them, are using software made for us such as #Paperback and stuff like #Fedra because they say they never have that visual bloat most software has today, and they like the speed of software like Paperback. Turns out sighted people *do* get tired looking at things. https://github.com/trypsynth/paperback #Books #Bookstodon #OpenSource

Book 30 of 2026. Not sure how this 1300 page monster from the '70s counts as only one book. I read this on paper, in electronic form, and listened to audible...in serial. It still took forever. We are going to Japan in October (I have been twice already) and I wanted to read this before the trip. A fun, but profoundly shallow book. Like the Logan's Run of fiction. The sex aspects were the most hilariously dated. It was a page turner though. #books #bookstodon
