Kinda effed up thing I just discovered about #BookWyrm

You can add a link to a book to help people go find a copy of it. Bookwyrm.social has blocked amazon.com links ⁉️

I get that there are good reasons to dislike amazon, but it's still where most people get their ebooks and I wouldn't be surprised if it was also where most people get their books.

Plus if they supported amazon links they could always rewrite them to use an affiliate code and support the site hosting costs.

Weird.

the #wrapstodon flattery is nice but my favorite is the #bookwyrm recap

top of bookwyrm year in review titled In 2025 techynicat read 97 boks for 26,342 pages! That's great! (no page data was available for 28 books) and listing the shortest read (Sex Criminals Vol 2), longest read (Lonesome Dove) and the snippet that I left 69 ratings with a 4.25 average, example being All Systems Red by Martha Wells, rated 5

Re-reading Wuthering Heights is a great reminder that 150 years ago, if you, say, sprained an ankle at a neighbor's house, you just lived there for five weeks until it healed.

@HeyLaiverd asked to read my stuff offline.

I thought why not make the first part of The Last Philosopher available to everyone.

How is a hoarding bookdragon better than a little bookworm that reads like their life depends on it 🤔

Shouldn't books be for the sharing of knowledge, not for the owning of knowledge 😁

| just discovered the term "bookdragon” and I have never felt more seen in my
life. Unlike a bookworm, who reads like their little life depends on it, a bookdragon hoards books like treasure. I used to think I was a bookworm, but now I know that I was very, very wrong.

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! 😜😂

Seit November ist unser Buchladen ganz schön gewachsen. Deswegen müssen wir heute ein paar Schränke neu arrangieren. Gar nicht so einfach für uns Quereinsteiger. 😅 Seht ihr Bücher die Euch besonders gefallen haben, oder die ihr unbedingt noch lesen wollt. Gibt es Bücher die wir unbedingt noch dahaben sollten?
Liebe Grüße aus #chemnitz
#bücher #lesen #bookstodon #bookwyrm #books

Ein Bild von Bücherschränken in der Buchhandlung am Brühl, die gerade neu arrangiert werden. Einige prominente Titel sind: Olive Otele: Afrikanische Europäer, Timothy Snider: Über Tyrranei, Casta Diva: Der Schwule Opernführer, Davi Kopenawa/Bruce Albert: Der Sturz des Himmels, Frauka Greyken: Freya von Moltke, Eva Strittmatter/Erwin Strittmatter: Du bist mein zweites Ich.

As a society, we need to stop pretending that YA is a decent genre when it's the literary equivalent of a marvel movie.

I've tried to migrate from a @bookwyrm account to a @neodb account. I can set up the BW account as an alias in the NeoDB instance, but when trying to initiate the move from BW, I get this message:

"Set this user as an alias on the user you are moving to first”

I'm trying to move from @daniel@books.theunseen.city to @daniel

Anyone with more knowledge have any idea what might be going wrong here?
