Does anyone know how to find which books from this year's book flood list have been translated to English? I've been reading quite a lot of Icelandic books this year, and I'd like to branch out a bit to new authors.

Wasn't a bad movie, really. A bit quiet and slow to start off, but it builds.
"...gloomy-eyed J.B. never tells us what he's after, but we sense that he's one of those quiet men who feel trapped in middle-class life and are prepared to chew off their paw to escape it."

Still thinking about the Louvre? 'The Mastermind' is about a museum heist gone awry
An unemployed cabinet maker robs the local art museum — then finds himself plunged into a world of cops and gangsters and life on the run. The Mastermind is a sad movie that gets stronger as it goes.

A fungus photo a day: I found these Ossicaulis yesterday on some small pieces of rotting wood, so I could pick them up to photograph (and then put them carefully back). The delicate details on these tiny guys… More photos below.

My favorite recent book is a Canadian/Métis/indigenous werewolf/Rogarou mystery/supernatural/thriller. if you're interested in indigenous history and folklore it's informative in a fun way. It's thrilling & a bit scary. A cracking good story.

I'm glad they're thinking about making The Stand into a movie. I didn't watch the TV adaptation after I heard they changed the scenes about Vegas into a "city of sin" kind of setting, instead of a repressive religious place. The story was good as it is.

I think I'd risk my life for a book like All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson, Flamer by Mike Curato, or Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, but I haven't read them yet
I've read them, and I'd fight for Fun Home, Are You There God, It's Me Margaret, The Diary of a Young Girl, and Handmaid's Tale

Great book. Funny. Insightful. I liked the married couple a lot. Nice twist in the story.

Do not stop for bagels in downtown Minneapolis unless I find a parking spot on the street. I paid $8 for 20 minutes of parking in a public garage.

I see some discourse about ditching the former Twitter, and so I'll remind folks that the best reason to there is that it's a fucking Nazi bar and we all deserve better. I'm on social media to enjoy conversation with cool folks. Bluesky does a bang-up job of that. The former Twitter doesn't.

"Joy in the face of oblivion was the whole point"
I got to see Life of Chuck last night as the Secret Movie at my local theater. I highly recommend it. It starts with a dystopian future & goes backwards. There's a real sense of hope in it somehow.
