Contagion being the only one I haven't read this year.

#BookSky📚💙, if you're looking for something that can rival The Stand, give McBride's Viral Apocalypse trilogy a try!

16 books (and #bookreviews) in September brings me to 137 on the year and within striking distance of at least 182 for the year (3.5 books per week).

A lot of strong books this month, but best is a tie between Ron Rindo, Nattie Neidhart, & Suzanne Redfearn. All were simply phenomenal. #Booksky 📚💙

Would it be worth paying some price (I'm thinking no higher than $4.99 right now, *maybe* as high as $9.99) either permanently or per year to have a custom list of words to either mute or mutate?

Jeff Sexton @bookanon.com · 13d

#BookSky 📚💙

If an app (or far more likely, a plugin for another app, such as KoReader specifically) could be developed such that it would mute or mutate certain words in a book (fuck to f*ck or simply remove it entirely, for example), would that be something you would be interested in?

Wherein I look at the responsibilities of book reviewers from 3 different angles:

1) The casual/ non-reviewer
2) The Book Blogger/ Influencer
3) The Advance Review Copy reader

So what do y'all think, #BookSky 📚💙? Did I get it mostly right? Am I mostly a moron? Somewhere in between? :D

I fully grant that the BlueSky crowd will love this book.

I'm telling you now: you won't want to read my own review of it.

If you're in the #Atlanta, GA (or even #Chattanooga, TN... or even #Jacksonville/ #StAugustine, FL area) & find yourself in need of a #Santa for an event this year... I know a guy.

Meet my dad, y'all. The beard is 100% real. He's had it for roughly 20 yrs now... & I'll have it within the next few.
