I just want to enjoy someone's art and not have to worry about them being a terrible human being. So authors: please don't be terrible human beings.

Did you know?

Reading fiction improves empathy by strengthening the part of the brain that understands others' perspectives.

Does anyone else on #booksky make/seek out Spotify playlists for books they are reading? Any suggestions for songs for Assistant to the Villain?

A great video where @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social weighs in on the "Are audiobooks books?" argument. #booksky

Guardians of the Galaxy uses a technique I call "The Brave Little Toaster Perils". Each character faces their own personal, nearly lethal event, just like the characters in Brave Little Toaster.
And both of these films kickass.

#booksky Anyone else double up books and audiobooks so you don't have to stop reading when driving?

I made the switch to Storygraph 2 years ago and never looked back. #storygraph #booksky
Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

It's so good! Maybe my favorite X-Men lineup. Hoping for more Nightcrawler!
Y'know what else is out today? Uncanny X-Men #1! @gailsimone.bsky.social is back on the X-line and her first issue is nothing short of AMAZING. When you stop by for your weekly books, make sure this comic's one of them!

ernest hemingway's writing process was fascinating. whenever he got stuck, he would pick up his switch and play a game of rocket league, but it usually wasn't a ranked match. instead he'd play in casual mode, or even offline against bots, so he could quickly put it down should an idea come to him

First book of 2024: I found Puppets Living in my Apartment Walls. So far, so good.
