I'll be (trying to) reply to this for my reads this year to keep them all in one place and easy-to-find.

Finally got a bsky invite... does anyone still use it?

[RaiFG @r4i7]

So now IG is advertising Threads with transphobic posts. I don't have threads, you can't report the ad in IG, so I guess just PSA if you have IG that you might get hate speech forced upon you.

@dudleymbc if you fancy some extra income from parking offenses, come by every weekday 3pm and see the numerous violations around Olive Hill Primary.

@WestMidRailway Thanks. I had the same issue with the trainline app so bought paper tickets.

[RaiFG @r4i7]

@WestMidRailway any issues with the WMRW app today? Keeps failing to find anything in search when other sources suggest trains are running. Can't buy a ticket either. 🤔

Curious how they will tackle the theme of faith from book 3 when it relies on everyone & their dog knowing about the Eros/Venus etc... 🤔

Watching #TheExpanse having read (some of) the books alongside someone who has read none; they kind of did Naomi, Bobbie & Amos dirty. I only just finished S2 of the show admittedly but Naomi especially and my OH doesn't like her now. In the books she's so much better...

Nabbed a #SwytchGO pre-order kit; even managed to get in on the 2nd batch (Jan/Feb 2024). In time for some Spring cycles next year.

Who the heck at @Capgemini decided to have white-on-white in these graphics? That's poor design even if you totally ignore accessibility. #RWC2023 #IREvTON

I'm a bit bummed to be missing #FantasyCon this weekend seeing as I live so close. I can't justify the ticket price 😫
Anyone having out-of-con get togethers?

[RaiFG @r4i7]

Actually, I don't think I've read anything longer than 4 books to a series.

Abaddon's Gate (Expanse, 3)
James SA Corey

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh gosh this series. I do love space operas and considering I've never read a series longer than 5 book, I'm amazed how much I'm still enthralled.

Yes, it is the first series I've finished this and probably the first time I've started & finished a series in the same year for some time 🤯 Great stuff!

@craigbookwyrm @scrimscribes I read book 1 last month and hoping to get to book 2 later this month (academic reading permitting).

If you're in England or Wales, please take a look at Zoteria: an app for reporting anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes anonymously.

They know what they did 🤣

When a horror book's blurb mentions nothing of the sort, please don't start your review with the word "Lovecraftian" because then you've just spoilt ALL OF IT.
