Gave myself a target of 70 books this year and I’m at 68 now and will finish a book in a day or so. But I did notice I was looking at how many pages were in a book and how long that was going to take to read and put bigger books on the back burner. So next year I’ll halve it and be more inclusive of the bigger tomes.
Great world building with well written characters surrounded by interesting concepts is truly a rare gem to unearth. Will have to have a look at some of her other series.
Such an original concept and well written. A rare combo.
Currently on the last book in the 3 part broken earth series by N.K. Jemisin. The Stone Sky. The first book threw me through a loop. Second one is setting up the third one.
I have a Kobo and use calibre to manage my books. I don’t sync online it’s just plug and remove what I have read and upload my next lot of books that I want to read. My Kobo currently has around 300+ books on it at the moment so I can read whatever I feel like it. Doesn’t help your syncing between different devices but I guess you could us Dropbox or something like that to link up your phone, tablet etc.
Ok I’m f-droiding right now :)
edit :just realized it’s different than the one you linked.
further edit: It’s much better than floris. Happy days, thank you for the suggestion.
Yesterday I installed Grapheneos so I’ve swapped to florisboard. Not bad but it’s very specific on where you swipe using gestures. I’m slowly getting used to it but gboard was a lot more forgiving.
Without Google wallet/pay support and it’s 50/50 if banking apps work I won’t be switching but I like everything else about the OS. I don’t want to go back to carrying cards around with me, been too many years of just using my phone for payments. Thank you for the recommendation though.
Deleted my 15 year account and what little posts I had. Joined kbin and lemmy since I don’t know what I was doing. But it also made me think of what other social media and what else I’m using that is governed by corporate overlords. Deleted Twitter and joined Mastodon just to see what is like. I uninstalled Windows 11 and installed Linux Mint on my PC. Now looking for alternatives to Google apps that I use even though I’m on a Google Pixel phone but it’s into it’s 3rd year so it’ll probably die sooner than later. So looking for cloud hosting for photos, spreadsheets etc between my phone and my PC to break away from Google. Anyway moving from Reddit has started a avalanche of introspection of what I’m using. Tldr: No.
I’m enjoying Empress of the Nile which really is a female version of Indiana Jones.
I didn’t have the shitapp installed but I have in the past and I must of given it 4 stars accidentally while trying to get rid of the pop up to rate the app. Edit to 1 star. It’s a little thing but if enough people do it. Australian play store has it at 3.4 star rating.
The fact that I’m commenting on a post is something I would never of done on reddit means kbin is my new home. I’ve nuked my 15yr old account and there’s no reason to go back.
“Overthink Twin Peaks” goodness I love that so much and there’s no kbin magazine or lemmy Twin Peaks server or whatever it’s called. Off to watch FWWM instead.
I take it back there’s two servers on Lemmy but only one has any posts.
I must admit I’m struggling to read for anything longer than an hour at a time so I think I like the idea of reading larger books but in practice it might not pan out.
