I'm trying to keep up with my reading (for classes & fun) via audiobooks. Audible being an Amazon company is more and more upsetting for me b/c I’m trying to stop giving Amazon any $.
Things I like about Audible are huge selection, ability to buy books for ~$11/book, app that always works. Can folks on Fedi suggest an alternative that doesn’t involve me (a non-coder) trying to kludge my own book server or something (a thing I can’t do)? #askfedi #books #bookstodon

If you have a Goodreads account, you can really help out an indie author by adding their book to your "Want to Read" shelf. It garners attention, and allows a wider readership to consider the book, or at the very least, to have heard of it.
Book Nanoreviews: Heaven's Graveyard, The Infinite State, and The Demon Star
@DrEddieClark has our three of short reviews today at the NOAF blog:
http://www.nerds-feather.com/2026/08/book-nanoreviews-heavens-graveyard.html
An interesting story with cozy-ish elements, though probably a bit more stakes and teeth to be called cozy. I’m a sucker for found family, food, and second chances, so this is spot on for me.
It was an effortless read that never felt too slow and I never had to pause to reread or figure out where things were at. I’d pick up a sequel if the author ever decided to follow Tytli’s journey from the end of the book or a coming-of-age tale about Astra.
Everyone loves shitting on the Romance genre, but quite frankly, if the men paid at all any spec of attention to the consent happening in those novels, the world would be a far better place. “is this comfortable? Can I touch you here? I need your full consent before we do this. Does that feel good? How do you feel?”
You can find all those empowering questions, and more, in Romance novels everyone hates so much.
How I usually find Romances is below.

I've finished: Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone
I accidentally entered Gladstone's Craft universe through the wrong door. Starting with: Dead Country, The Craft Wars #1. I decided to go back to the beginning of the Craft Sequence.
Thee Parts Dead was a delight. So many neat ideas, such a rich world.
It is a perfect mix: of the ancient and modern, of the magical and scientific, of old tropes and new.
I love the glimpses we get of a wider world and a deeper history. Hinting at a bigger universe beyond the limits of this novel.
It is both a light read and a complex tapestry of original twists on old tropes and new ideas that will peak the interest of an experienced fantasy reader.

"I really enjoyed reading this, so utopian and dystopian at the same time"
Here is a selection of what readers are saying about The Blossoming of the Big Tree. We will keep adding more to this page as they come along, and we hope it can convince you to read this story, about an old woman who has to coordinate the defense of her decentralized nation when a colonizer invades, though she is the reclusive type of person.

Four stars:
Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool by Clara Parkes (2019) is a written account of a crowd funded venture to turn a 676 pound bale of fleece into saleable yarn. The project was jokingly called "The Great White Bale" is presented as a series of chapters, each one being one of the stops she made.

What happens when the grammar police inevitably gets corrupted? 🤔 Is that where slang comes from? 😁

My review of Cormac Mac Art: Isle of Swords by Matthew John just went up at Grimdark Magazine!
A fast-paced and gritty adventure involving one of Conan creator Robert E. Howard’s more underutilized characters.
(As always, boosts are appreciated!)

It’s both #Caturday and the birthday of M.R. James (born #OTD in 1862), perhaps the finest author of ghost stories we’ve ever known. This makes it a very good day indeed.
(Donnie, on the right, was born in 2020 but he can be as supernatural as the next cat.)

Palaces of the Crow. Ray Nayler.
You are children of different nationalities, when fighting at the start of WWII sends you deep into the Lithuanian woods where your survival may depend on understanding an evolved crow society you find there.
4 of 5 library cats 🐦⬛ 🐦⬛ 🐦⬛ 🐦⬛.
I pre-ordered a couple books, and the seller said to pick out a free book as well, so I chose the most topical and maybe too resonant: The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, by David Wallace-Wells. Yes, nothing like some apocalyptic future nonfiction as light reading 😂
