I don’t know about the author, but I’m on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I’ve tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn’t really click for me (as in, I didn’t see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don’t answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven’t given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Just started The daughter of Doctor Moreau yesterday.

Before that, Rana Joon and the one and only now was absolutely wonderful and I really recommend it.

I have no recommendations but please know that Gender Trouble is actually a psyop book written only to melt the brain of people who attempt to read it (/s)

I just can’t get my head around this monster of a book!

Yeah, Anna’s Archive bragged about doing it (and they did great).

Isn’t that just the metadata?

I’d recommend donating to your national Wikimedia chapter if you aren’t in the US. They’re not funded by megacorps and they often struggle financially, and they’re the ones doing a lot of work on the ground.

Yes, especially books I want to lend to friends because I thought they deserved attention.

(I don’t think that’s it - it’s 9.99 if you’re paying on desktop and 12.99 with the Apple tax (also applied to Android), but applies to your whole account.)

Hahaha that's fair! I'm a big mood reader and happy to ignore my TBR (which I keep small) so reading new releases does happen sometimes :)

Yes and no: I don't on purpose, but sometimes I end up doing them because of Halloween related releases :)

singular they/them users are usually non-binary, ie. neither men nor women, and they've been around for a while and are getting more visibility now thanks to a more accepting society.

while it can be hard to read the first few times you encounter them, you'll get used to it, don't worry! :)

Should just have [Major] and [Minor] in the post title imo

Fellow French - wait until you realize their unions only apply to one company and not a whole industry so they can't actually do anything on a large scale. This broke me.

Their EU compensation is excellent. Nearly as good as FAANG.

You can translate selected text!

For horror, if you haven’t done so already, you can read some Stephen King - The Shining, It, etc. are classics. Carrie is very short and I really like it. The Long Walk is my favourite, with Battle Royale vibes.

I find him pretty easy to read and he’s definitely a master of his craft. I think you’re incredibly lucky that you can discover these masterpieces as an adult without previous influence!

Thanks for the detailed test! I thought it would be an option for people who already opted in and not just having the book on their to-read :(

I really don’t think they’re bad or even worse than the rest. I do feel like they’re so different from the other books that whether someone liked them or not doesn’t tell them if they’ll like the rest, which is the only reason I don’t recommend it as a taster before deciding on whether to read the other 30+ tomes.

I believe The Storygraph is working on creating something relatively similar on the longer term. Currently they have « buddy reads » - I’ve never used them but from what I understand you can sign up for a buddy read on a book and get matched with someone else?
