Great read. I particularly enjoyed how each mini review linked back to your full review of the book. Definitely added a few to my reading list for this year. As an aside, love your indieweb/fediverse integrations.

Thanks so much!

And yes, integrating the blog with the indieweb and the fediverse was really fun and makes me super happy :)

Wow I hadnt heard of a single book there before this. Incredible how much you can read, your worst years are better than my best lol.

Ps. Id like to recommend Basti for you as an emtry from pakistan tho it looks like youre going alphabetically. Wouldve recommended 'patras ke mazameen' but that probably wont translate well. Also you get to add lemmy as a source of book recommendations.

Haha I'm glad you can discover new books!

I've actually done Pakistan a few years ago, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to read a Pakistani book ever again, so I'm noting Basti! Thank you!
