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.
@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
Story structure can be good, it can also make it painfully obvious. Personally I prefer not being able to guess the ending after the first chapter... 🤔😁
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.

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.
"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 😅 #bookstodon #sapphicbooks #crimenovel

I walked through a random business door with paper over the windows only to find a new BOOKSTORE, CAFE, BAR has opened in my neighborhood. They specialize in SCIFI FANTASY AND ROMANCE.
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.
