@readbookpage.bsky.social, I just finished your May issue. Its several dog-eared + marked pages are the result of the wonderfully immersive book descriptions. I don't even *like* mysteries or memoirs, and yet I've marked one of each! (You're just evil, yet I can't do without you.) #BookSky #books

@readbookpage.bsky.social (May issue) has a good talk with @carolinebicks.bsky.social, author of "Monsters in the Archives" about Stephen King's writings. For a deeper dive, enjoy this fascinating podcast! #BookSky #books #reading share.google/JQK24lwr63rN...

Great May @readbookpage.bsky.social talk with @matthaig.bsky.social! I agree about the Cemetery of Lost Books from Shadow of the Wind. And although I'd say the book is 90% usually better than the movie, I totally agree that Jaws is a major exception. Thx to you both! #BookSky #books #reading

Great interview with the author. She mentions Sea of Tranquility (@emilymandel.bsky.social) among others. But the most extraordinary story involving a computer game is Skallagrigg (1987; William Horwood). Unforgettable. #BookSky #books #games Portia Elan on Homebound share.google/tJKune73FoGQ...

This sounds wonderful; thanks so much for letting us know! (I never ever buy books or almost anything else from the Big A, but will happily order it through my local indie bookstore. Or you can use Bookshop.org.)

More praise for "Automatic Noodle," @annaleen.bsky.social! Philippa on her Quick Book Reviews podcast loved it! (5:10-7:10) tinyurl.com/4uf3uj3f #BookSky #scifi

My car's manual was looking rough, so I ordered a new one through Perfect Books. Proving that if I can get a 1974 Super Beetle manual from an indie bookstore in Ottawa, there really is no need to give your money to the Indigo, Amazon, etc. of the world.

I was reminded of the gorgeous and talented Robert Ito (now aged 94) during tonight's Star Trek TNG episode "Coming of Age." Ito was excellent, as was the story. share.google/00qCq6IZ0Lmk...

New episode! We review the birth of modern science fiction, in the form of the one hundred year old Amazing Stories magazine. Learn all about this new fangled thing called... scientifiction. It will surely never catch on with a name like that. 101sf.blogspot.com/2026/04/were...

@bookriotpod.bsky.social Thx to you+ @lbmcgrath.bsky.social for superb "Zero to Well-read" ep on "Interpreter of Maladies."

"Most say they weren’t notified by the school and found out through word of mouth. And the testing I and others did on Atomic showed academically weak and even inaccurate content."

Tell you friends about the Internet Archive. I was absolutely shocked none of my friends even knew it existed beyond the waybackmachine, and they were dazzled at how many resources they provide. It's such a vital and important resource, especially in our time of erasure of facts and culture.

I love me some libraries! The library was always my sanctuary, my safe space, my second home. Today, the library is sanctuary to the books I write, the stories I tell! Ever and always, my safe space. This is from Jumping Off Library Shelves, an anthology by Lee Bennett Hopkins. #nationallibraryweek

89 candles would have set off the sprinklers, so we settled for one — and one perfect slice of cake (with @bradtakei.bsky.social on ice cream duty). Thank you to every friend, fan, and fellow traveler who has made these 89 years such a joyous voyage.

Oh myyy! Happy 89th birthday to George Takei, Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek, The Animated Series, Voyager, Lower Decks & Very Short Treks, and in six Star Trek films. He's also a director, author, voiceover artist, and activist, and the subject of a great new documentary called Beam Me Up, Sulu.

If you've agreed to read a manuscript for the purposes of giving feedback and then feed it through ChatGPT to produce the feedback, you are the devil. Don't do that to your creative friends. It's not only unethical, it would put them in violation of no-AI clauses in contracts (including ours).

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American: Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation. I've told my family to stay away. Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙 news.sky.com/story/englan...

Just watched a video of Andy Weir describing neutrinos and he says they quantum tunnel through pretty much everything and I don’t feel this is an appropriate use of ”quantum tunneling” Anyway why ask a woman physicist when you can ask a dude novelist

Friends of the Sacramento Library is offering these free for AAPI month I have read so much work like this, but this might be the single most painful one because, well, everything is local. I drive through Florin often (It's now South Sacramento), SF is where my mom lives, his dad was my age when
