A question for folks out there who read fiction. I am an indie author with a new book. I do not use AI in my writing. Should I put a note or sticker on the cover which says something like "This story is entirely human generated" or "no AI was used in the making of this book." Would readers be interested / reassured by knowing it is all human-made? My covers are also designed using photos I took myself.

Edit: Please boost for reach.

@pluralistic Just finished this little number. Just wanted to say thanks for another rollicking tale. I was in secondary school when all this "happened", and it brought back so many memories, and pointed out so much that I missed at the time. Highly recommend! #books #Bookstodon #BooksWorthReading #thanks


NYC, 1919: Perched on a towering pile of donated books, a librarian calls from a megaphone to request more book donations for American troops stationed in France. The American Library Association’s campaign sent up to 55,000 books each month to military camp libraries.

Going to see @pluralistic soon at Blackwell's Manchester. I will not be asking a 'thoughtful and insightful' question as I was at the dentist yesterday so can only manage quiet and slurred speech. Spoiler, my questions are often rambling and incoherent.

Several readers have asked me if I can put together a list of all the books that were in the Pride Month Book Calendar.

Just finished “Is a River Alive?” by Robert Macfarlane.

It’s very powerful, lyrical and moving. It makes a very strong case for giving legal personhood and legal rights to rivers, mountains and forests - for their sake, and for ours.

EDIT: I feel the book merits a blog post: slothrop.org/2025/06/29/if-cor…

Read it to understand where we should be going.

I am loving this book. It's ostensibly about #indigenous science #pollution #plastic and #colonialism but it's also about extractive reading and nuance in all things. It's fantastic, and I recommend it to everyone. #PollutionIsColonialism #bookstodon dukeupress.edu/pollution-is-co…


Linda reviews "Shifting Nature" by Jae:

"Quite a thrill ride up until the end... This is not just a story about Tala and Faith. It's also a story about hatred when anyone who is different becomes a target. It seems very timely. 5 stars."

Book two in Cari Hunter’s books about DI Jo Shaw finished. As usual a great read by Hunter. Looking forward to a new installment in the series, the epilogue is quite clear there will be one. Evil cliffhanger 😅

Shelley Fisher Fishkin's new book, Jim, about Huck Finn's companion, just arrived from Yale University Press. A perfect companion to Percival Everett's acclaimed novel, James, and, of course, the original Huckleberry Finn by the esteemed Sam Clemens.

Boken jag läser (The Unfinished Line av Jen Lyon) och har läst länge är väldigt bra, men så jobbig för hjärtat att jag bara läser bitvis. Det är en kärlekshistoria, inte en romans har författaren varnat för och ja, den tar i hjärtat från start. Har konstant oro för vad som kommer härnäst, men så bra. Ämnen som sexuella övergrepp, kändisskap och psykiska problem genomsyrar boken. Rekommenderas starkt. Närmar mig slutet nu. Fullt ångestpåslag.
