My process for #BookWyrm is:

1. Search for the ISBN on OpenLibrary.org .
2. If it's not there,
2a) search for the book on search.worldcat.org,
2b) create a new book entry on #OpenLibrary , using the data from Worldcat,
2c) add the cover image from Amazon, other book sales platforms, or if necessary by making my own photo.
3) Import the book into BookWyrm, using its OpenLibrary ID.

I can do this pretty quickly, these days.

Mayo es el mes del libro en Uruguay, y para esta #EdiciónFediverso de #LaSopranoHungara dejo aquí el link a la versión epub (libro electrónico y #prosereader) y pdf para pequeñas pantallas.

Me legra decir que, sin ningún esfuerzo por hacerlo, el libro pasa el test de Bechdel-Wallace.

La historia principal es una crónica no lineal que sigue las armonías disonantes de La Traviata.

Esta estructura obliga a quien lee a convertirse en investigador/a, descifrando una conspiración que el texto rehúsa descifrar.

Es una obra de ficción histórica que abarca espionaje, tráfico de armas y encubrimientos gubernamentales en Sudamérica y Europa durante las guerras yugoslavas.

El tono de la prosa (fechas, decretos, números de serie) agudiza el horror, haciendo que la muerte de la soprano húngara no parezca ficción, sino el aria más oscura de la historia.

Seis partes más integran el libro, que abarca #fanatismo, #prejuicio (algunas el propio de quien lee), #misterio, #psicodelia, #viajes, #alcoholismo, #amistad, #áfrica, #trans, #MédicosSinFronteras, #sudamérica, #Brasil, #tarot, #Uruguay, #libros y más.

@bookstodon
TIL that there is an android app for #Bookwyrm (on #Fdroid).

I've had an account on bookrastinating.com for a couple of years, but after signing up and importing my books from #TheStoryGraph it hasn't seen much use.
I intended to give it some love a few months agy, but then #InternetArchive and #OpenLibrary got hit with that attack.
But I think that's been resolved now, and the android app will make things a little easier too, so I don't really have any excuses anymore do I?

#InternetArchive and #WaybackMachine and #OpenLibrary need money.

They are not only victim of recent cyberattacks, they also host a very important service to the whole world that actually should be publicly funded anyhow.

You can not only pay via #PayPal (and more) help.archive.org/help/how-do-i but also use a simple wire transfer help.archive.org/help/how-do-i also including Euro/SEPA/IBAN. 👍

I'm wiring a few bucks each month because I think that they really should be funded well. 👋
