Unpopular opinion but the problem with not using GoodReads is both Bookly (which I used with a paid account for 2 years) and StoryGraph is their book database is not great and they don’t have good auto add features so you have to manually add books yourself. Free labor when your app costs is ick.

New Weather West post! I discuss the inbound strong, moist, and very slow-moving #AtmosphericRiver that is aimed squarely at northern CA & its potential to bring very heavy rain/flooding. Plus, what's a #BombCyclone got to do with it? #CAwx #ORwx #CAwater weatherwest.com/arch...

A dry autumn to date in most of California! But hydroclimate whiplash to come... It did turn out to be a much drier than average autumn across most of California and the Southwest after all (except the northernmost part of the state).
