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.
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.

Thanks again to all the authors & 3 generous readers who donated books & gift cards!
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.
Here's a handy table with the 110 books:

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.
Book sale!

Cheap children's books! Until Monday. Free shipping in Ireland if you manage to spend 20€ (might as well pick up something for yourself now eh?)
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 😅

Another week with a great category, a favourite of mine. Love Jae’s Book Bingo.

🎇 Help save Philly's local solarpunk bookstore! Iffy Books, which has offered everything from books on permaculture to first aid workshops to open hours for soldering assistance, needs your help. Please share this letter widely!
I've been grateful for the opportunity this space offered me to rekindle my relationship with digital art for merch and run solar art and queer zine workshops. Iffy Books is irreplaceable in our community. To keep offering programs and resources that foster climate activism, right to repair, and skill sharing in Philly, we need to take action now.

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.

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.
