Wondering if anyone else has been affected by any of the issues in Kafka's The Metamorphosis? At the moment I'm just putting out feelers.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Please, if you're able, support Independent bookshops in the run up to Christmas.

Their curation and knowledge will help you choose books that no algorithm can.

And algorithms don't smile and chat to you either.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Ditto what Kevin says. It gets harder and harder for small independent publishers to find bookshelf space. 🙏
Please, if you are able, support Indy publishers.

As the big 5 buy up all the book shelves with their astronomic discounting.

It would be grand if you could look at.
