Did you start using another reading app?

erbeckman.bsky.social•57 days ago

Yes, I'm on https://bookwyrm.social open source, federated. I started posting my starts and finishes on Goodreads again. Were you able to read my very short post there?

mrshistorylee.bsky.social•57 days ago

No, I haven’t checked. Just wondering if you were still posting on Goodreads. If I have time to browse for books to buy, I usually check out your list 💙📚

A favorite from last from both a readability and historical content standpoint: On Savage Shores by @carolinepennock.bsky.social
Still thinking about many of the stories and images. Lots more Indigenous -European contact in Europe than I'd realized 🗺️

So much praise for this book! I actually already bought it but haven’t had a chance to touch it yet.

I let it age on the shelf for a little bit, too.

I'm not updating my "to read" lists there, but I do record what I'm actually reading.

How cool! Thank you for sharing, and hope it’s of some use to you 📖

You're welcome! Even I'm working with students at the survey level it is always useful to have details and narratives available that demonstrate complexity behind the broad narratives. For instance, many students conclude that Indigenous people disappeared from the Caribbean. #TeachWorldHistory 🗺️

Yes, definitely a myth I find myself needing to challenge at the college level, too! But more & more scholarship on this now, thankfully
