They're back up, thanks for the heads up!

Google launched "Google Wallet" in 2011. Killed it in 2015 for "Android Pay". Android Pay was killed for Google Pay. Then Google Pay was deprecated for the version of Google Wallet that you currently use.

This was my favorite quote from the article.

But neither of those books was actually checked out from the Hayden Library on his trip. One of the books was checked out from another library, and another was stolen off the shelves. Norris refused to return the books at first, and Alexa Eccles, the executive director of the Community Library Network, told me in a phone call that, when Norris eventually returned them, the barcodes had been cut out of the book covers, and the library has not been able to return them to circulation or get new copies.

My friend got me Legends & Lattes.

I guess I'm off to learn Bulgarian.

This is awesome thank you for writing your thoughts out! I loved Time Shelter, I heard the translation to English was poor compared to Georgi Gospodinov's native language.

I didn't realize Murtagh was released, thanks!

[–] Arthur 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Please post a review of it once you finish! I'm obsessed with Time Shelter and would love to see other opinions on it.

Ah yes. I should have put that in the release notes. It was removed from the API unfortunately. There's an issue here asking for it to be reimplemented. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4215

If your third party app experience is feeling a little funky, you just need to sign out and in. Looks like session termination wasn't handled correctly in some apps.

Scholastic found that it either had to give in to the hardliners who wanted to ban books for children or to not allow that, and they seem to have decided to give in.

Help! I'm looking for interesting microbloggers who focus on the literature space (especially speculative fiction) to follow. Preferably on mastodon since I can consume the rss feed of their content.

Percy Jackson Timeline (self.camphalfblood)

I just finished the mainline series the other day and the thing I keep thinking about is how much happened in such a short timeline overall. Especially in the final book, things really move along at such a quick pace. My executive dysfunction can't handle it.

The City We Became (openlibrary.org)

I have been on a kick recently looking at novels where ideas become "entities" and this novel is an interesting look at what constitutes a "city".

 

!printsf@literature.cafe

A cozy community to talk all things related to speculative fiction in printed work, including comics, books, poems, etc.

 

Hoping to start a community on a book/writing focused instance similar to r/printsf here on lemmy. You can find us at !printsf@literature.cafe

Currently working my way through The Glass Planet by Christopher Zyck. It's been a very enjoyable and interesting read. Reminds me a little bit of Foundation in the way it tells the story through millennia. I have such a soft spot for grand scale stories like this, they are difficult to get right.
