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! 😜😂

I do like both, and I've never understood why this is an issue, is it not the content of the book that matters? Not how that content is delivered? 🤔😁

I saw that question in one of the groups, and I think it's an interesting one to ask.
I've had a good reading year, with many interesting reads (and exciting re-reads), but if I was to pick one book... I think "Ninefox Gambit" by Yoon Ha Lee takes the spot. What's your top book?

Years ago, my Mother-in-law began reading, "The Exorcist". She said it was the most evil book she ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn't finish it, took it over to the beach and threw it into the ocean off a fishing pier.

| went and bought another copy, ran the faucet over it and left it in the night table drawer by her bed. My Father-in-law said that night was the first time she ever screamed and fainted.

I'm going to Hell, but I'll go laughing.

What's your favourite trilogy? 🤔

Every speculative fiction reader has that one trilogy they can't get over...

For me it's between The Seagulls and Lord of the Rings, Star Wars barely breaks the top 50 😜😂

Okay Mastodon, do your thing!

I'm looking for recommendations for audiobooks 😁

Preferably simple enough that I can keep up while doing other stuff at the same time, but not so simple that I get bored,

The last series was Skullduggery Pleasant, if that helps.

What are your reading plans? I just started a fantasy audiobook, I have a library loan ending soon, and a library hold just became available. It might be a lot, but since we have a winter storm warning, there might be a lot of time for it too. My e-reader is charged! What about you?

G.R.R Martin: Steal 90% of your deep lore from real life history and other authors to fill out your world map

J.R.R Tolkien: Create an entire universe with a bloody, theological history with of hundreds of characters and dozens of devastating wars, then write a childrens book in it

But technically free wifi can mean free books in places where no other free books are available 🤔
It always surprises me how many places there are to read for free online! 😊
