I read and loved John Wiswell's award winning debut novel. I would lay odds on his second book being on many award ballots next year. Wearing the Lion is a fascinating retelling of the story of Heracles, the Greek demi-god known as Hercules to the Romans. A remarkable book, with every change making the story better. Highly recommended.

Picked up this book from the used bin of my local bookstore yesterday: You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier. Written in 2010 but very prescient and relevant to our current techno cultural world. It examines the ways in which software and technology shape thought and society.

finished reading The Odyssey 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Homer (trans. Emily Wilson).
Travel back in time for a little insight into the worldview & values of the ancient Greeks. Fickle meddlesome gods, male honour, rampant war and liberal violence, slavery & female subjugation. Easy flowing translation, though I sometimes lost the rhythm.

A book bar where you can slam a book shut on the bar after you're finished, shout, "Another!" and the barkeep will choose a new book from your TBR list based on what they think you will most enjoy in the moment like some kind of librarian sommelier. #Bookstodon #UnknownArtist

finished reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Sangu Mandanna.
A lonely witch finds family & love when she is sought out to tutor three young witchy girls. A cosy romantic fantasy. Some enlivening characters and fun use of magic. Very 'House by the Cerulean Sea'.

Amazon ha decidido que a partir de hoy los libros que compran sus clientes sean un poquito menos suyos (no es que antes lo fuesen mucho, tampoco), y yo he decidido que no voy a vender ni un libro más allí 🤷♂️
Además, como intento ser consecuente conmigo mismo, he retirado los tres libros que he escrito de su catálogo, y siguiendo el espíritu colaborativo del Fediverso, los comparto ahora con vosotros de forma gratuita. A continuación os dejo un enlace a disroot para su descarga directa en epub (no hace falta que tengáis cuenta para bajarlos). Cada libro está en una carpeta que contiene el epub, la portada y un pdf con la sinopsis:
https://cloud.disroot.org/s/YdbStYSNMHAjkWd
Si alguno de los libros os gusta estaré encantado de leer vuestras impresiones. Y si queréis invitarme a un café podéis hacerlo en mi página de Ko-fi ☕:
Dadme una manita para compartir mi trabajo, porfa, pero sobre todo disfrutad de la lectura 🤓
