Let's talk about books and the public trust.
📚🧵
Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:
Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Has anyone read a horror book that scared them? I'm trying to get back into horror and a lot of the new stuff is good, just not "scary". Maybe I'm desensitized?
Some horror genre books are supernatural thriller or mystery lately.
Open to suggestions!

Monday morning shout out to @curiousiguana.com ! Saturday was my first visit to Frederick and my friend loves it enough to take us there twice in the same day and I see why!
The staff was friendly (both shifts) and the free book cart was awesome! Thanks for the additions to my library!

My first challenge for #novnov / #nanwrimo is choosing the number of protagonists and POVs.
Multiple POVs help for seeding world lore in fantasy settings. However, as a reader I get bratty when my favorite character switches to the POV of one I don't vibe with well.
Thoughts? #writersky #booksky

I'm sorry, but my horror lover brain just pictures someone hacking one of these things and doing some sussery.
You'll wake up at night to the robot standing over your bed. That or find out the training data video of you and your home was stored on some server with security like swiss cheese.

The $20K 1X NEO is now available for preorder and ships next year. It “does” household chores with a twist: a human teleoperator actually drives it.
Owners schedule takeover times for the human operator and detail tasks via an app.
Basically, a pricier, worse Molly Maid with a charging dock.

Does #booksky, #authors or anyone else have book suggestions for the art of creative writing? I'm specifically looking for books that help with plot outlining or narrative structure.
I'm making a list to devour over time. So far KM Weiland has been my guide.
Thanks in advance!

I find the premise to be fascinating for fantasy worlds. One of my favorite examples is Wandering Inn where the delivery people face dangers like: necromancers, dragons, an army, assassins and a shape shifter.
