In other news: #HappyWorldBookDay, fellow #bibliophiles!

What are you currently reading? I'm already 30% into the first book of Robert Jordan's epic series. I'm a slow reader, so I suppose I'll be done with this one before the fourth season of Prime's adaptation comes out.

Support some #indieauthors on this fine day

If you’re an indie author, feel free to drop your name and book title in the comments.

when a friend handed me an annotated children version of #JulesVerne´s "Around the World in 80 days" in #French ("to read the original version"), I was reminded, that even as #bibliophiles, we will not be able to (really) read more than a few thousand #books in our lifetime - and that actually made me quite sad...

It seems the hashtags in our profiles might not be searchable, so I'm pinning this to help find like-minded people.

I alphabetized these because that's what one does, but don't be surprised to find gaps in topics. #ADHDBrain means there may have been something #Shiny or #ItsRainingAgain.

@bookstodon For fans of THE SPACE BETWEEN WORLDS, by Micaiah Johnson, she is working on a sequel. *squeeee*. The working title is ASHTOWN. #books #bookstodon #bibliophiles #reading

We Free The Stars by Hafsah Faizal is REALLY GOOD. I've been reading it extremely slowly because of my schedule/health/deadlines etc but her turn of phrase is impeccable. I've been admiring it a lot. @bookstodon

#Shelfie of some of my Folio Society books. Also shown are 2 of Brian May's wonderful Stereoscopic books/marvels, editions of Dracula & Faust, & misc antique books. Behind the statue are TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, & the ULTIMATE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE (not Folio). I have 2 Folio art books as well, on another shelf. Hope u enjoy, #bibliophiles! Feel free to share yours!
