I'm 38% through my #Storygraph book goal (78) for the year & 51% through my pages goal (20K) but STILL haven't got into my growing PTW of #kDrama #cDrama and #jDrama because I'm finding stuff like this just FAR too riveting to put down. #Reading #bookstodon #linguistics
Reading all about PIE and having mince cheese pie for dinner, synchronicity😂

Text on a Kobo Sage e-reader, as follows:

Breton goes beyond Welsh, however, in being able to form singulatives to ordinary plurals, which then have a different shade of meaning from the ordinary singular: pesk ‘fish’ ∼ pesked ‘fishes’ ∼ singulative peskedenn ‘single fish (out of a group or mass of fish)’. This singulative itself can then be pluralized: peskedennoù ‘single fishes (out of a mass)’. Names for parts of the body can be inflected in the dual, by using a prefix etymologically derived from the number ‘two’, such as lagad ‘eye’ ∼ daoulagad ‘both eyes’; and, true to form, Breton can pluralize duals: daoulagadoù ‘pairs of eyes’.

I thought I would love When the tides held the moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. I didn’t. It was okay, but kind of contrived and the naive or selfish main character grated on me. Also, in a book that seemed to go out of its way to acknowledge immigrant experiences in early twentieth century NYC, the lack of even a brief acknowledgment that Jewish girls were the primary victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was striking. If I overlooked such a mention, I would be delighted - please correct me.

The cover art is gorgeous. I will always fall for gorgeous cover art.

January Reading Wrap-up
A solid reading month with a heavy focus on clearing out some of those lingering ARCs.

#books #readingwrapup #januarywrapup #storygraphstats #storygraph #reader #yegreader #comics #audiobooks #arcreader

🧵 I just discovered there are reviews for my books on #StoryGraph ! Look at this one for Chalice of Caladriai! (Also... when someone *gets* it! It has always bugged me how books often completely ignore the fallout that any normal person would be dealing w/ after the experiences in the story!)😊🥹

This concept of "what happens *after*?" was a BIG part of Chalice of Caladriai. What happens after a kid is forced to confront an evil adult hell bent on destroying everything? How do they deal with that? And what if a friend paid a steep price for that "win"? What then?

How are the friendship dynamics affected? What about the supporting characters? What happens to them? These were all things that were dealt with in CoC, along with the usual mix of action, magic, and mayhem. I am SO HAPPY someone else wanted to know, too!

In the next book, Team Arcania will be dealing with repairing their friendships and the aftermath of book 4's cliffhanger ending (I love my cliffhangers, what can say? 😏) and then there's the two big reveals from CoC that are going to play parts in the rest of the series, too!

A screenshot of a 5-star review for Chalice of Caladriai over on Storygraph. It says:

The main highlight of this book for me was covering what happens after. When the evil is defeated and the heroes return home, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We see Ty struggling with suddenly being back home; he's dealing with PTSD from everything he's been through and it's so rare to see that represented in a book of this genre.

A strong start to my 2026 reading year.

En el ámbito lectura completé el reto de #StoryGraph de leer todos los días de enero a base de poesía y #VictoriaAlvarez.
A destacar #LaVozDeAmunet, #CristalesdeLuneira y #CuadernodeCampo.

I successfully completed the #JanuaryPagesChallenge with #StoryGraph. Finished _How Democracies Die_, read _On the Historicity of Jesus_ by mythicist academic Richard Carrier, whose power of exegesis dwarfs that of any pastor I’ve heard, and made progress on Irish fiddler Martin Hayes’ biography.

Who is using Hardcover.app ? And how does it compare to Storygraph? Or Bookwyrm?

I'm pretty happy with Storygraph, but would like to understand the user experience diff between these two book tracking services.

If such a thread already exists, please point me to it?
Thanks 🌞

I (just about) kept up the #StoryGraph #JanuaryPagesChallenge all the way to the end, and as a result I've found the calendar graphic is quite nice! Knowing there's a nice graphic at the end of it makes me want to carry on logging pages every day into February. I like how the graphic shows the books I'm still reading as well as the ones I've finished. I feel like I don't read fast enough to do a lot of the monthly roundup graphics justice. I aim for a book a week (and usually miss the target) so six books in a month is about as much as I ever finish, but I often have several books on the go at the same time.

I was trying to figure out how they picked the colours for the bars for each book as they seem weirdly similar in places. Eventually twigged that they seem to be generated from the colours of the book covers which is a nice touch, if perhaps not the easiest to understand at a glance. I guess I'll have to pick books out to read now based on the colour of their covers 😊 and stop reading the beige ones.

A calendar graphic showing which books I read on which days of January along with how much I read. A high of 213 pages on Sunday 4th, and a low of only six pages yesterday. Oops. It shows the six books I finished in the month, and the three I'm still reading as well.

The first weeks of January were so VERY full-on for me that I had no time for any TV watching, so I got ahead on my #Reading goals instead. 40% of my pages goal for the year and 1/3 of my books goal.

I learned that when I am as tired as I was for most of the month, I can't handle prolonged listening to languages I don't grok. So I listened to #Hindi and #Urdu music and audiobooks, but no #cDrama #kDrama, or #jDrama. Hopefully I can get back into them in Feb

Weird start to my reading year. After 2 DNFs, while I was already struggling a wee bit with the audiobook I was listening to (Snow Crash) and once I'd read my book club book (The Things They Carried) I went on an absolute tear through a bunch of novellas, just to get some mojo back and not feel stuck.

Storygraph monthly roundup calendar. It shows a calendar format, with book covers on days the book was finished. The book covers are also shown in rows at the bottom.

February book club theme: 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Author name starts with "H" - January 29, 2026 - The beginning of this book is very slow and boring, but informative. The intrigue does pick up, but the plot becomes obvious long before the "reveal".

Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Alice by Christina Henry was great.
Rolled the D20 and got a 14 so next up is The doors of Eden by Adrien Tchaikovsky.

Excelente app que he descubierto para organizar libros

I've been playing with https://app.thestorygraph.com/ in the last few days and found it a great encouragement to read with a little more attention and thoughtfulness. A vibrant community and useful tracking tools without being GoodReads, what is not to like?

#storygraph #books #reading

A screenshot of "The StoryGraph" website showing a series of menus across the top. Underneath is a "To-Read Pile" section showing the covers of six books. Underneath that is a "Recommendations" section showing another six books. On the right is a "Current Reads" panel showing the front covers of the books I'm currently reading with progress bars, the title, and authors.

Finished A Tempest of Tea. D20 roll of 19 gave me Alice by Christina Henry. Seem very short in my edition, hope I’ve actually got the whole book. We’ll see.
