Update on the arm I bought to hold my e-reader for me: have just discovered this enables me to knit (simple patterns) while I read

Last night I finished The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and half a sock

A half-knit sock (cuff-down) using yarn that pools into black and white stripes, intermixed with browns and yellows

was pretty jazzed to hear bookshop.org started selling e-books, but that DRM is a bummer 😞

kind of sucks that the best way to "buy" digital books at the moment is typically to pirate the book, then buy some shitty DRM-locked e-book you never open

even doing that i feel gross, like i'm encouraging these publishers to keep selling e-books this way

update: the library director was in today and showed me his secret space opera hoard. new additions to the list:

  • August Kitko and the Mechas from Space, Alex White
  • You Sexy Thing, Cat Rambo

(haven’t read either yet, but he highly recommends)

he also had two of the books i’d been wanting to include in the display!

  • The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, Becky Chambers
  • Ninefox Gambit, Yoon Ha Lee
Two paperback books on a carpet: Cat Rambo’s You Sexy Thing and Alex White’s August Kitko and the Mechas from Space
