Okay, refilled the free not trademarked library on the curb. Put Sharpie through the UPS codes and marked up some covers to discourage book dealers (still readable!). Hate to do it, but it's put there for folks to *read* the books, not resell the books. Snagged a bunch of kids books as well. #bookstodon
Up next I’m continuing my read through of the Pocket #StarTrek novels with Ex Machina (2004) by Christopher L. Bennett #bookstodon
Finished Vulcan’s Soul, Book III: Epiphany (2007) by Josepha Sherman and Susan Shwartz and I did enjoy this one more than the first two books in the trilogy, but still had some issues. The novel centers around the consequences to the Romulan Empire after the Dominion War of the threat of a dangerous species. 1/5 #StarTrek #bookstodon
Yesterday I released my March #Book Wrap up. I read nine books in total. Check it out here, mostly spoiler free #booktube #bookstadon #bookstodon #books
Os estragos da viagem por Londres. Que querem, cada museu t3m sempre um bom acervo, há a Waterstone Picaddilly, e tive o prazer de ter alunos a pedir-me para os levar à Forbidden Planet.

Starting the second book in Jemisin's Broken Earth series.
IYKYK: We are absolutely in a Season right now.
When the hidden Naled ships reveal themselves, Captain Schafer has to think fast on his feet.
Chapter 13 - "On The Move"
In the command centre of the HDR Liberator, Captain Schafer and Doctor Denom Richt monitor the underground biomass only to find it starts moving as the Major begins calling in his men and women.
"In his treatise on supernatural collective nouns, David Malki asserts that it should be a 'finery of sphinxes,'" the Stranger said calmly. "I've never considered Malki to be definitive, though, and he doesn't use my preferred plural, either, I think it should be a 'riddle of sphinxes."
Book View Cafe is pleased to offer a classic multi-generational saga of love, betrayal, revenge, and the rise of a new Hollywood aristocracy.
FLICKERS, by Katharine Kerr writing as Kathryn A. Jordan. Not a romance, an epic--it has a little bit of everything.
There's a sample! Get lost in history this weekend. @bookstodon @books #bookstodon #California #Hollywood #Movies #history #Family #ebooks

[ALT IMAGE: The golden grasslands and hills of a later summer afternoon in California of the early 1900s. In the distance a young woman is sitting silently on a saddled brown riding horse, staring out over the hills.]
A sprawling, brawling, family saga from the early days of the silent films: multi-generational love and betrayal, passion, revenge, and the rise of new Hollywood aristocracy.
And class--it's definitely about how Hollywood upended the CA class structure. And about what's hidden inside people's hearts and souls.

A new favourite author/book: Danish writer Solvej Balle and her On The Calculation of Volume, a literary fiction novel in 7 parts about a woman stuck in the same day, the 18th of November. I just finished the 2nd part and now have to wait for the next two to be released in English...on November 18. 
Highly recommend, especially if you're currently having an existential crisis, lol.
Just finished the latest Lady Astronaut book by Mary Robinette Kowal, The Martian Contingency.
Super good book, filled with competent people dealing with the sorts of problems that would arise from trying to set up on Mars to escape an Earth dying from runaway climate change.
Also, loved catching Kowal's usual Doctor Who easter egg reference for this book on the first read.
This week's #NewBooks at the library: Two second-hand copies of #PhysicalAnthropology books from Cambridge University Press: What #Teeth Reveal About Human #Evolution and Evaluating Evidence in Biological #Anthropology. Taschen had a sale on recently, so I bagged myself a copy of The Fantastic Worlds of #FrankFrazetta at less than half price

Meanwhile, it's my turn with my public library's copy of Paul Beatty's The Sellout and let me tell you, every page is loaded with very bitter laughs. Occasionally at the expense of people like, oh, Clarence Thomas, whom the author depicts as finally breaking with his long tradition of never saying shit in session, only to burst out with the N-word. A perfect read for today. Bonus: it kind of predicted Perceval Everett's James. Bitterly. Funny.
