I can‘t help but wonder how the literary world would have been, if she hadn‘t changed her mind

Ruthiella Maybe she would have been able to write anyway…it‘s hard to say. I‘m thinking of other women writers like Gaskell or Burney. 1mo

So Many Books, 2nd Edition: Reading and Publishing in an Age of Abundance | Gabriel Zaid

pick

This is such a good read. Lots of great insights and a bit of a deep think on the economics of book publishing. But he tackles ebooks and digital reading as well. It‘s not quite the “update” I was hoping for as there is zero mention of AI, etc. but it‘s worthwhile for the conversation around culture and the importance of reading physical books in a world flooded with thousands of new books a year. #booksaboutbooks

The Book of the Month: Sixty Years of Books in American Life | Al Silverman

Made this a more expensive, but more epic book box delivery this month because I‘m supposed to be pausing my account until I thin out the BOTM books I already have, but then I realized November might have to be my final month because I still don‘t have two of the hats from the BOTM shop!!
Sometimes you just have to treat yourself, and then do it again…..and again…..and again……

AmyG Love the hats! 3mo

From yesterday‘s reading.

Apparently bookstores have been under threat before, and they‘re still here

Suet624 Ummm… what is this book? Is it a series of events or is there a narrative? It looks fascinating from your photo. 3mo

AnneCecilie @Suet624 It‘s book that mentions literary things that happened every day of the year. It might be diary notes, things authors did, things that happens in books. At the beginning of each month it has all the authors born and works published and at the end authors how died. It‘s probably a little English and English speaking focused (edited) 3mo

Suet624 That‘s so cool! 3mo

AnneCecilie @Suet624 I know. So I read the date every day, or try to, and sometimes it‘s just a few lines and others it‘s maybe a page 3mo
