I think that's the easiest Easy I've encountered from Pips.

It only took that long because a couple of pieces needed to be rotated.

Barnes & Noble. It's published by Penguin. Translated by Robin Buss.

I haven't actually read it yet, so I can't say for certain there's no censorship.

Finding a jury of his peers would be tricky.

I remember watching the first episode and being very confused by the direction it went, so hopefully I get answers

Les Mis was, surprisingly, not originally serialized. He felt we needed to know about those sewers.

Plague Cthulhu @lostshadows.bsky.social · 23h

Pretty sure it's a publishing back then thing.

Dickens is well known for writing like this.

Some you'd think were, actually aren't.

I was surprised when I learned Les Mis was a one shot.

I've tried, but for some reason there's no audiobook of that translation, so I can't even switch when my arms get tired.

I believe Dumas also had money problems.

Considering how long the third Musketeers book got, I'd be shocked if he didn't.

The last time I saw someone pushing the idea, they claimed it would stop books becoming so padded with filler to make them longer.

As an owner of an unabridged copy of the Count of Monte Cristo, I don't think they really understood how this actually works.

To make reporting the videos easier

Plague Cthulhu @lostshadows.bsky.social · 2d

I don't normally report YouTube ads, but if you want me sit through a five minute video on how "eggs cause brain fog" before I can listen to a four minute music video, all bets are off.

I think they should invest in a space elevator

Micro SF/F by O. Westin @microsff.com · 13d

The space elevator project was funded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.

After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.

There's just some abbreviations authors shouldn't use.

I'm sure there's a reason* YouTube thinks I desperately need a car with bad tires.

*To go buy pet food, industrial equipment, Old Spice, and go on vacation, based on their other ads.

Just went looking for my phone while watching a video on my phone.

Not quite using its flashlight function to try and find it, but close.

Finally getting around to watching Leverage:Redemption

Maybe this means I'll convince myself its okay to finally watch the last episode of Leverage and admit the series is over.

Oh yeah, I forgot the newer paperbacks are different dimensions from the old ones, so it was destined to look messy.

*glares at publisher again*

Plague Cthulhu @lostshadows.bsky.social · 3d

Organizing these books would be so much easier if I'd bought them all new.

I have mass market paperbacks from two countries, hardcovers in two sizes *glares at publisher*, and one trade paperback.

Plague Cthulhu @lostshadows.bsky.social · 3d

And done.

Fandom Wikis are awesome resources and if I'd thought of that sooner, I could have left the books on the shelves.

Plague Cthulhu @lostshadows.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, now to write myself a quick summary of each of these books.

That shouldn't take long.

31 books arranged into two really tall stacks.

Stack one is all paperbacks. Stack two has three hardcovers stuck in at what look like random points with no consideration for structural integrity. (Actually, just where they fall in the series.)

I have been informed that, yes, there's such a thing as too many books.

(She's now sitting on a table, so may be rethinking that position.)

The planet Earth, trapped between two Plague people and a large amount of books.

"Never Going to Give You Up" seems like it could be really creepy

Sign of the economy.

The scammers who use to call and tell me they needed to confirm a large purchase on my Amazon account, have downgraded to purchases on my Walmart account.

Do I even have a Walmart account?
