Someone talk to me about Kobo Plus vs. Kindle Unlimited. How is it with price and selection? Are there a lot of indie books? How do you get Netgalley arcs to work (or can't you)? #Booksky #Bookbloggers

As ever, I see a software update (this time wordpress) and think it looks like absolute garbage. Daresay I'll get used to it in a couple of weeks, but the amount of utterly pointless tosh done in this field is epic.

Trying this new fangled thing where I actually promote the blog. First up, a very confusing book that's made better for it - Patricia McKillip's Ombria In Shadow peatlong.wordpress.com/2024/12/30/o...

Just heard from Erica (my narrator) that we are nearing the finish line on the audiobook for ✨TO SPY A STAR!✨ As usual Pin, Granny Kissy, Lauden, etc. have fab voices, but she really nailed the Zarks and one of my new fave characters, the Coleopterian pilot. More soon! #audiobook #writingcommunity

Hey @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social, any chance of the recipe for Jill's 'fire-ass banana thing' getting released? Najee has the world curious.

I used to think football refs were bad, then I started following American sports and discovered the NHL. Then I thought NHL refs until I discovered the NFL. I don't think there's any way it gets worse from the NFL.

Sometimes I think about setting up a feed/blog solely for explaining in detail on an individual basis how 80% of ads are garbage that make me wish I could avoid ever using the product, and giving praise to the 20% that are actually engaging.

Authors please do not agree to this. You're devaluing yourself and leading to your own professional demise. And what Harper is offering to pay is pathetic. Truly terrible. Harper claims that "hundreds" have agreed to this already. Babe, don't sign that contract.

Today's idle thought is that I wish creating new works to tap into nostalgia and pay tribute to classic forms was as big in books as it is music and tv/cinema.

Sorry to bug you @shaunduke.bsky.social but I've heard people talking about the decline of sci-fi as a book genre in terms of popularity & sales and wanted to know if it was actually true. I've read some history of fantasy books that say sci-fi declined in the 80s as fantasy took off - is that true?

Oh thank gods they have muted words here now, one step closer to just not using twitter. Which incidentally took another step closer with their stupid url change
