📚🤪 "The Book (2021)": Ah yes, another riveting read that’ll make you sprint to your nearest podcast rather than a library. 🏃‍♂️🎧 Who needs actual words on paper when you can just subscribe to a newsletter and pretend you’ve read them? 📩🤔

Got a #blinddate last Friday
I am totally in love with this #BlindBook idea and that more and more libraries and bookstores are doing it 📖📗
Want to know what I got? Let's unwrap it

I have something exciting to share. From now until Nov 30th I’m running a once in a lifetime promotion for my app ReadTracker. You can get the Pro version completely FREE.

All I ask in return is that if you like it please give it a rating in the App Store; it helps more than you’d think!

You can grab it here: apple.co/4euvKr3.

Have fun!

Do you like to write in your books or keep them pristine? I sometimes annotate non-fiction #books #reading #ReadingHabits

How do you discover new authors? Do you rely on recommendations, browse bookstores, or something else? I'm considering doing a weekly/biweekly/monthly news podcast. Do you listen to podcasts about books? #ReadingHabits #books #reading

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Goodreads was independent, once upon a time, and then Amazon bought it and it became part of the Amazon universe. At that point Goodreads stopped being an interesting option because we were helping a billion dollar company rather than an indipendent project.

Bookmory and storygraph are two alternative projects. Bookmory imports the goodreads csv faster but Storygraph provides more analytical data after the fact. Storygraph simplifies importing the book CSV from Goodreads to Storygraph but once I got the Goodreads CSV I could migrate my data to both services with ease.

The difference in price is 31 CHF per year for Bookmory and 39 Euros per year for Storygraph.

I started using both yesterday so I haven’t made up my mind about which I prefer. I do like that I can track my reading streak via StoryGraph rather than via the Kindle app, Apple Books or other apps.

The result is interesting. I asked the same question in an Instagram story, and with the whopping combined N=14, I can declare that (some) people still want to read their comics through traditional medium. What's even more interesting, is that apps or websites got no votes at all. (But yeah, the coverage was small.)

Thoughts?

Supper and a new #book to read, a new collection of Scottish #poetry 1730-1830. Really looking forward to this. My own #PhD looked at Scottish reading habits in the same period, but I need to read more of the texts being read! #Books #Supper #Literature #ScottishLiterature #ScottishPoetry #Gaelic #GaelicPoetry #EighteenthCentury #18thCentury #ScottishHistory #Reading #ReadingHabits

Photo of a book in the Oxford World Classics range. The thick paperback book includes a view of the Scottish landscape. Beside the book on a tray is a big mug of coffee with a gold V monogram on it.
