Suggestion: book club partnership with other communities
Had a bit of a showerthought this morning. c/books could do a monthly book club pick but with the additional feature of inviting a related community to participate. For example, if the book pick was “Two Wheels Good” by Jody Rosen, !bicycles could be invited to participate. Seems to be a great way to encourage more people to...

Unreleased Books Now Impacted by Review Bombing (archive.ph)
I guess it makes sense for this sort of thing to happen now. Goodreads doesn’t have a way to prove someone bought a book and with folks there that get review copies, probably won’t get the features. If authors didn’t have a hard enough time publishing, yet another thing to worry about.
What are you currently reading, and general thoughts so far? (kbin.social)
