What could be better than meeting @margaretatwood.bsky.social in person?

From the twinkle in her eyes, to her ready wit, and excellence as one of the finest writers of the world, and, a Canadian!

Kudos to her for founding @PENCanada along with her co-founders.

Started reading AIR-BORNE by @carlzimmer.com , captivated by the content, and the brilliance of Carl’s writing.

Highly recommended by several authors including @edyong209.bsky.social , @walteri.bsky.social and others.

I recommend reading it too!

Technology has many benefits but it’s time to stop and reflect on what we are losing to it and reading RECLAIMING CONVERSATION, THE POWER OF TALK IN A DIGITAL AGE, by @sturkle.bsky.social is just the best book on the subject.

One of my favourite things to do in my local bookstore is to go sections of books I normally don’t read, and find something of interest, I went to the Fiction section and found @amitava.bsky.social ‘s latest novel , I like his style and enjoyed reading “Immigrant Montana”. Recommended.

I just created a starter pack with a little assistance from @bsky.app

One can create a starter pack by adding their own choices.

Give it a try!

One of the cool features of @bsky.app is the ‘starter pack’ created by individuals and media outlets, like this one from the @washingtonpost.com

Check them out!
