Lots of indie book shops are online, so buy from them instead of 4m4zon! You can also shop at bookshop.org and designate your fav local bookseller to get a little spiff when you make a purchase.

A late #neolithic statue-menhir found at Rottenburg-Lindele, dating 3250-3000 BC. It is considered one of the oldest anthropomorphic stone sculptures from southern Germany and was reused as a cover for a grave in the 8th/7th century BC.

Picked a book based on the cover for the Reading Glasses Podcast challenge, and it's an anthology of horror stories set in the middle ages. If the intent is to get you reading outside your usual wheelhouse, it failed, but I'm NOT mad about it.
