The MC has a ghost cat companion named Bao! This might be better than I expected. 📚💙

Gonna spin this baby up and see what I shall see. It’s been packed up for quite a while.

Here’s the Big 5 publisher’s bio of the author. Great job all around. This is sure to be a Dungeon Crawler Carl killer as intended. www.harpercollins.com/blogs/author... 💙📚

Taking a cue from Harper Collins’ inclusion of two errors in his two-sentence author bio, Canada’s premier bookstore chain attributes Ryan Rimmel’s ‘Noobtown’ books to the wrong author. Another @372pages.bsky.social quality selection. 💙📚

Another 200 pages later, I was close to right in my prediction, not spot on but one step to the side. I also think mine would have been more interesting. I also think the general existence of the twist was obvious for anyone who has read books before. 🪐📚💙

Enjoying this, but I think I predicted a major twist when ~p.200. In general when I manage such a thing I don’t think it bodes well for the book because I’m not that bright. 🪐📚💙

I want the judge who selected this story to sit for an interview in which she is asked to explain the meaning of each nonsensical AI slop sentence in the story.

I am not a crafty person but I’m going to try this. I’ve had it for years. It’s time.

A book I would love to see gain some grassroots popularity. Do yourself a favour and try it. It’s so good! 📚💙

I just jogged for a continuous 20 minutes for the first time in over a decade. Feels great! Thanks, Podrunner Intervals! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

I wish I lived somewhere showing Speed Racer in IMAX tonight.

Why did JABbereocky Literary Agency use html code instead of typesetting? 4 times on a page! (This is from Badasstronauts, their uodated release of Grady Hendrix’s perfectly fine self-published Occupy Space.)

"Long, slender fingers" is by far the least of this book's literary crimes. It's been well-covered before, but even so the @372pages.bsky.social experience of this modern classic is bound to be a hoot. Just the first page of the book is laughable. The next 480 pages also.

Linus had it right.

Library love from Peanuts in 1960.

The new book is a modern classic of the genre.

No author worth reading uses AI.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

That’s, uh, quite the dialogue tag. From Fritz Leiber’s Swords in the Mist. The speaker is Fafhrd. 🪐📚💙

This is what I actually want to (re)read in 2026 and what I’m starting now. 🪐📚💙

These are not good books, but goddamnit I’m reading them. 💙📚 I read Shadow Moon and sequels many years ago and all I remember is a fugue state. I thought it was me at the time. I didn’t understand then that books could simply be very bad. I’ll find out what happens with my newer state of wisdom.

Noobs to the 372-Pages podcast are always welcome. Why not start the year with an inexplicably terrible book? Expand your horizons! It will make everything else you read this year seem so much better. 📚💙

Something very special arrived in the mail today… 📚💙 It took a while to find a copy.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

You have 13 hours left to throw your self-published fantasy book into the #SPFBO hat! mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-...

Yeah so that didn’t work out.

My wife mashes potatoes like they killed her family.

In case you’re wondering what kind of dad I am, I am already lamenting the fact that municipal xmas tree curbside pickup won’t happen until Jan. 6.

Currently on the last book on my October to-read list. 📚💙

Who chose these colours and why do they hate my eyes? 📚💙

Any I should play/replay before selling? #RetroGaming

Thanks to AI and self-publishing, you too can spam the market with slop novels based on current events within moments. #AIbooks 💙📚 What a time to be alive. 🤑🤮

@372pages.bsky.social the fans persist.

Amazing and heartwarming book. I don't have much of a platform but if even one more person picks this up because I said so, the world will be just a tiny bit better. #booksky

When my teenager has friends over, it reminds me of being in public places and overhearing random boring conversations that are appropriately loud and you just have to try and tune them out because you’re stuck in that space for a time. But inside my own house.

Just in time for the first @372pages.bsky.social free-to-all episode covering this masterpiece, a giveaway for 100 print copies of the book was just launched by the publisher (US residents only, sorry). www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho... Really, with a book like this, aren't we all winners?

Physical game disc, double-wide case, full colour embossed game manual, wired controller … Alundra is go! This game does not hold your hand. #retrogaming @sharkabytes.bsky.social @retroblast.bsky.social

If you don't know the extent of AI books, here are 374 I've categorized. Tip of the iceberg. 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/list/show/22... www.goodreads.com/list/show/22... www.goodreads.com/list/show/23... www.goodreads.com/list/show/23... www.goodreads.com/list/show/22... www.goodreads.com/list/show/22...

The perfect promo for Brown's new book coming out this fall. 📚💙

My free Kindle Unlimited trial came just in time this year. 📚💙

‘Crowds of young men swaggered beerily to and fro, …’ 🪐📚💙

Around page 100 she's naked again, and apparently she has enchanted her underwear (not currently worn) to give off bright light on command, because ...??? 🪐📚💙

I understand reading for pain, and choose to do it more than is likely healthy. For example, I am about to take advantage of a Kindle Unlimited free trial month. Between that and @372pages.bsky.social -worthy books, it’s a lot of pain. Glorious, self-inflicted pain. Still beats AI books though. 📚💙

I don’t know why I’m still reading these. Ed Greenwood’s books are uniquely unbearable. Here, he is committed to making his FMC inexplicably naked as many times as possible, and that’s just by page 66. 🪐📚💙

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Being a parent means you notice when Annie’s mac & cheese changes the material for their cheese powder packet and you have to use scissors to open it now but there are no longer 1 in 10 packets with the powder hard and clumped up, and you appreciate that.
