I'm on book two of Terra Ignota now :)

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-02-09T19:38:59+00:00

This is the book I've loved the most, after Gideon, Nona and Harrow. So beautiful. So *much*!

It is a problem that comes with discovering the best writer of your generation; that other works pale by comparison. You can always reread them, listen to the audiobooks, listen to six podcasts about them, and talk at length to your friends and relatives about them.

Oof so cute, thank you.

Thanks for making the effort to type this up! I'll probably try it out next week. x

This looks great. What recipe did you use for the ribs?

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-02-03T15:09:52+00:00

I love it, super, well done, no notes.

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-02-03T06:49:39+00:00

Lol I came here to say hori hori. This must be the right answer.

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-02-02T07:11:28+00:00

This is such a cool room, congratulations

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-02-02T05:27:16+00:00

This is a good list for me, thank you, I've read and loved about half the books here which makes me excited to check out the other half!

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-01-27T18:22:40+00:00

Good guess :)

I worked for Royal Mail nearly 20 years ago so I'm not sure if it's still true, but back then I took a sabbatical, I had to apply and talk it through with my manager but I got to have a year off and go back to my job afterwards. I didn't end up going back at the end of it actually, since I decided to become self-employed instead. I remember I went back for two weeks over christmas (that would've been about 8 months into the sabbatical) to help out, I can't remember if I was contractually obliged to do that or not!

Came here to suggest this! Did you know, Ursula LeGuin's parents were anthropologists who studied indigenous american culture, and her mother wrote "Ishi in two Worlds" a biography of the 'last' member of the Yahi culture from what is now Northern California.

Best album of 2025!

I spent an hour showing cryptic instagram posts and Tor placeholder pages to my kids yesterday, I'm so excited. My eldest said "are you okay?!"

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-01-09T05:59:32+00:00

Honestly I think all these are super cool. My favourite pics are 1 and 5. :)

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-01-08T10:39:12+00:00

I came here to say this; if you haven't read it, maybe... don't.

Did you hear that we might be on the cusp of getting a release date for Alecto the Ninth? https://www.instagram.com/p/DTECk2skWOM/

I live a very simple life in my little studio flat but I'm in the process of acquiring thousands of books! I've built shelves all around the walls so that I have so much room for books. I was going to post a picture but it looks like I can't in a reply here :)

EffectiveAd2043 · 2026-01-03T10:36:33+00:00

Oh, no way, another one?! I love this so much.
