Hands down the best apothecary book I've read. It is thorough, easy to navigate, and helps illustrate how everything works together as a whole. It's also full of beautiful photos. While written with beekeepers in mind it's more of a unique theme than a requirement.
You can also see more of the author's work on YouTube, 'The Honeystead'

Sometime last month, I read Hunger Pangs by Joy Demorra and ADORED it.
I've written a full review of this endearing Pratchett-Austen mashup of a queer vampire-werewolf romantasy here: https://andorabrokaw.com/2025/10/11/hunger-pains-true-love-bites-by-joy-demorra/

Book recommendation needed for my vacation: Looking for a creepy and well-written #horror novel or good #scifi read. My last reads were #StationEleven #TheFisherman (Mastodon Recommendation), and #OldSoul (superb! Creeped me out).

Finally got around to posting a review of Magica Riot by Kara Buchanan. Short version: I really enjoyed it. Long version:

October isn’t the only time to be scared. Hide from the rain, light a candle and read Where Madness Sleeps by Liddell Rayne!

@IO You've gotten a lot of good recs already, but I'll add "The Mimicking of Known Successes" by Malka Older, a sapphic sci-fi/noir novella.
Any #Mecha or #mechs style #Novel recommendations you can think of?
I think self publishing is where I will find what I am looking for.... though there needs to be a more optimal way to index and search for independent authors.
I know of mecha samurai empire and the battletech series of novels... I have mixed feelings about both for difrent reasons
I want something more surreal on one hand and more pop art on the other.
Kinda like evangelion or Metal gear solid.

Any one knows about a good old fashioned possession/demon horror story?
I'm currently reading the book Spillover by David Quammen published in 2012. Its an incredible read with a fantastic overview of zoologic viruses and bacteria that "spillover" to human populations.
While it covers a few of the same topics as The Hot Zone by Richard Preston in 1994, but is not as overdramatized. A fantastic read, especially with a global pandemic fresh in mind. It doesn't have the horrific, graphic descriptions that the Hot Zone has, which is a plus if you are squeamish.

Looking for recommendations: I've never read anything by Bukowski. Where should I start? #booksandliterature #bukowski #bookrecomendations #avidreader
Okay, Mastodon, help me out. I want to find characters like Cordelia Naismith from Louis McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series.
Female protagonist in her 30s, action vibes, political intrigue vibes, strong M/F romance arc; a bit of life philosophy, castles, and/or spaceships for good measure.

I need help from the #booktodon community! I want to learn more about the history of Palestine and Israel from an unbiased source. Does anyone have a recommendation?

For the first of my #BookRecomendations to fall on #WyrdWednesday you can’t go past Tolkien’s ‘Adventures of Tom Bombadil.’ For all the shelves of papers written on JRRT’s work, no one has ever really solved the mystery of who Tom is, or where he fits into the wider #LOTR mythos. #bookstodon
Hello!
I'm looking for #BookRecomendations 😊
Fiction and nonfiction with witty humour.
Thank you!

Masto Friends, I’m looking to read 12 books I might not have read suggested by other people again in 2023, a book a month. I did this last year and it was really good. I’ve got 6 recs from bird site, can I get 6 from mastodon?
Only stipulation is it needs to be a book on Audible U.K., #ADHD and #Exophoria mean I struggle to read books at a reasonable speed.
It’s time for a proper #introduction.
I’m a #GeekDad with two boys.
I’m current serving military, but don’t know any secrets!
I got to infosec.exchange just ahead of the main wave.
Somehow, through some early conversations and comments I managed to #RedTeam my way onto some lists of ‘good people to follow’.
On Twitter I stood at the back of the room and looked to people like you for information and perspective. Now it seems I’ve moved further into the room and people are looking at me and it feels like I’m taking the class ‘Introduction to#ImposterSyndrome’.
While I don’t work in #InfoSec I do relate strongly to the community and learn from you all.
I know enough to know it’s always #DNS (or #BGP)
At home I run #pfSense, #HomeAssistant and feed #ADS-B data to #FlightAware and #FlightRadar24.
My favourite #TWIT episodes are when @MikeElgan and @jeffjarvis go head to head.
