I’m sorry to report it appears to be dead.

I made a cassoulet last year for the first time last year and I was also impressed with how easy it was and delicious for the minimal effort.

Are you looking for a book reading app:

• Where if you throw an EPUB file (for example) at it you can read it within the app?

Or

• One where you can track information about books that you are reading or have read and can find out if new books are coming out similar to those you currently have shown interest in?

Arctic was the first iOS app to get mod features, voyager wasn’t far behind though.

It’s my backup app. I wish it had a markdown editor, though.

It was already mentioned in another place, by !Arctic@lemmy.world is my personal favorite at the moment.

I tried to go for quick reads. The top 3 recommendations (all novellas, but incredible) would be

Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Or All Systems Red by Martha Wells (already mentioned by others too) Or A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

And 2 honorable mentions that are longer: Thief by Margaret Whalen Turner The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

Hey, thanks. That’s the quality of other sources I asked for so many hours ago. Weird that took so long.

I’m completely appreciate that it’s the reason I put it in italics, I was trying to convey sarcasm but acknowledge that I may have been far too subtle.

I find it incredibly fascinating that in the over nine hours, since this has been posted, nobody has taken up the opportunity to post another source that backs up this reporting they just continue to attack the critique

That would be literally devastating if I had cited Wikipedia itself instead of using it as a way to point you to a long list of citations from far more authoritative sources without wasting my time typing them all out again.

Good effort though.

A site or source has to earn the credit before it can be discredited.

You can attack the one making the critique all you want and it doesn’t establish actual credibility for the original source. The grayzone’s weaknesses in misleading coverage and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes is well noted in academic journals and other sources cited the references on their Wikipedia page.

Hardcover is my favorite as well (though I’m still tracking in StoryGraph and Goodreads mainly because Goodreads does it automatically from Calibre). My only issue with Hardcover is that it’s got the worst book database so far but that’s a relatively easier fix with services like openlibrary. My link is in my profile for both.

I’d second murderbot by Martha Wells or the Laundry Files by Charles Stross starting with The Atrocity Archives.

I’m struggling to get through the first of the Thieves’ World anthologies. I generally struggle with anthologies or short story collections because the character and the writing styles change so I can’t really be build up any momentum. The stories are generally enjoyable and it’s something that’s been on my reading list for a long time because one of the short story characters is one I really enjoy.

Great reader, by the way, kobo makes by far the superior device currently for a dedicated reader.

!Arctic@lemmy.world is my current favorite replacement for Memmy.

It was the best of card games, it was the worst of card games.

This makes a lot of sense. It’s impossible to make smart decisions when you’re Hungary. That’s why it’s good to go after a meal or at minimum have a snack before grocery shopping.

Uncanny Magazine has had some really great pieces over the years.

I got turned on to it because some of the people behind it feature regularly on a podcast network (The Incomparable) that I routinely listen to.

Over December I read Scott Hawkins’ Library at Mount Char, T. Kingfisher’s Paladin’s Faith, Ben Aaronovich’s Moon over Soho, and I just finished Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology last night.

Mount Char was a wild ride. I’m still processing it a bit. I enjoyed it a bunch though.

Kingfisher is amongst my favorite authors right now, and while I’m not typically a Romantacy person, the World of the White Rat books all have a lot of great Fantasy and the romance portions are integrated well.

I started Rivers of London a while ago, but dropped off so I’m trying to pick it back up. It’s good, especially if you’re a Dresden Fan. There’s quite a few similarities in style.

Norse Mythology has always been interesting to me, and Gaiman’s integrates a bunch of disparate sources to make a pretty good set of stories.
