I just finished Full Moon and read a review at #TheStoryGraph in which the reviewer apologetically said they preferred Blandings to Wooster. Were it possible to have replied, I'd have said "no apology needed, so do I" PGW is sui generis - or as Clarence might say of the Empress's size "sooey generous" #bookstodon #Reading #Wodehouse

a passage of text, as follows

A lovely girl needs, of course, no jewels but her youth and health and charm, but anybody who had wanted to make Veronica understand that would have had to work like a beaver.

‘The boys generally seem to wish to hear my views,’ he admitted modestly.
‘And I’ll bet they get their wish if you’re within a mile of them.’

The son of parents who after marrying each other had almost immediately started marrying other people with a perseverance worthy of a better cause,

The emotions of all three members of the Wedge family may be briefly set down as those of a family which feels that it is batting .400.

He was not in the market for sunshine. Given his choice, he would have scrapped this glorious morning, flattering the mountain tops with sovereign eye, and substituted for it something more nearly resembling the weather conditions of King Lear, Act Two.

Is he wanted by the police?’
‘No, he is not wanted by the police.’
‘How I sympathize with the police,’ said Lady Hermione. ‘I know just how they feel.’

She said: ‘How do you do, Mr Landseer,’ in a voice that suggested that she hoped he was going to tell her that the doctors had given him three weeks to live

If my May reading at #TheStorygraph had a theme song, I guess Paul McCartney would supply it - 🎶some people want to fill the world with silly love songs🎶 - and what's wrong with that? #bookstodon #Reading #Mystery #Romance #Poetry

Finished "The Bandit Queens" by Parini Shroff last night.
Four Stars, many content warnings.
This one was suggested by the Story Graph so I read it to test how good their suggestions are. Pretty good apparently.

I tend to get a bit obsessed with my #Reading challenges at #TheStoryGraph but I think I can relax now - the odds of completing them all seem pretty good. The end of the year will be hectic and some of the remaining #nonfiction will be challenging, so it's nice to be ahead. #bookstodon

@Soyweiser I just noticed a day or so ago, after I got involved in this thread, that I have Permutation City in my To Read in #TheStoryGraph, so maybe that's where I'll dive in. I have finally shed my reluctance to quit books I don't care for, so if it doesn't work out, I'll just move on and try another if his

I've used @thestorygraph for a few years now. Mostly pretty happy. In the last month or so I am confronted by this "verifying if you are human.." page in my browser. I am logged in to TSG. The verification takes a while to run and makes me not want to open #TheStoryGraph 😔

Why do I need to be verified EVERY TIME I access TSG?

UPDATED: Seems they have a ongoing DDOS? Folks see that msg on Insta/Threads.

Overzicht van de vijf boeken die ik las in april.

Slowly but surely building up a new reading habit…hoping to get more books finished over the next couple of months though.

#reading #bookstadon #TheStoryGraph

A StoryGraph calendar for April 2025. Shows daily reading from April 6-12, finishing “Death’s End” by Cixin Liu. At the bottom, you see scattered reading days towards “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr. April 12th has the most pages read at 126.

A new month means time for my April #Reading wrap-up from #TheStoryGraph - nearly 50% #nonfiction, and a good haul overall. Back on track with my reading goals, so can get back to my #KDrama #CDrama and #JDrama PTW now 😀

Trying to decide which #KDrama to start after #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines and deciding I need more time to digest and savour it, so back to #reading for a bit, I think to get back on track with challenges at #TheStoryGraph

Didn’t realise this was a StoryGraph feature. It’s pretty nice 😊

Not a large number of books read, but that I’m reading at all again right now is enough for me
