@bookrastinating Hi, do you know when #Bookrastinating could be upgrading to the latest #Bookwyrm release? The current version does work just fine, I'm just curious about the hashtag feature of the newer versions

I think my predilection for reading books the last few years might be the result of how easy it is to track reading books. I spent many hours listening to the History of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan, but at the end of it, it was only the fact that I then went on to read his book based on all of those hours that was recorded for posterity.

I finished an audiobook recently, and marked it as completed at Bookrastinating. Then I started a podcast that has been recommended to me repeatedly. If it were a podcast with an unknown number of episodes that went on and on, I might not even think of the two activities as similar, despite both involving spoken audio I listen to in the same personal contexts (mostly during exercise). But this podcast is ten episodes long, with each episode about an hour long, so it is very, very much like starting a ten-hour audiobook.

At the end of these ten hours, I might know more, or be more entertained, or both, but I won’t have anything to record the event and look back at later, no trigger for memories in years to come, like I will with the audiobook that preceded it in that personal time slot.

Although I had not actively considered it before starting this post, both the podcast season and the novel are the first entries in a trilogy. At least for now. It might be more likely that the podcast produces a fourth season than the author writes another book in that series, but there are a number of series of audiobooks that go on for many volumes. I count 48 “seasons” of Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct available for me to listen to, for example.

So why is is a seven-hour audiobook a “book,” while a ten-hour podcast season is not?

So now it is.

It turns out to already be a book on GoodReads, but BookWyrm relies on user-generated content, and I might be the first BookWyrm user to listen to Blowback Season 1, making it my job to add it to the database. If, as I suspect I will, I decide to listen to season 2 later, I’ll add that then.

I updated my #BookWyrm with my recent thoughts on W.E.B. du Bois' #Darkwater which is just a stellar collection of writings.

I've paid for #Storygraph to support it & I got a #Bookrastinating #BookWyrm account. I use #LibraryThing as a catalog. The problem is that reader communities tend to focus on genres I generally don't read/don't want recs for, including fantasy, sci-fi, romance, YA & literary fiction of the past 20 years. Maybe I should start a Boring BookWyrm? 😂 #bookstodon

@hw @bookrastinating Thank you, Heikki. I will explore other #Bookwyrm instances. Some of my #Goodreads #books and #reviews etc #imported extremely easily. The #Bookrastinating setup is very like Goodreads and largely pleasing. But it's not like #Mastodon and will take some learning!

@britt My pleasure, let me know if you have any favorites I should check out. #bookrastinating #CozyMystery #scifi

@godlessmom book written about that: Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. #bookrastinating #scifi

What online site do people use nowadays to keep track of a personal library/book collection? There's GoodReads, LibraryThing, Storygraph and now Literal, and Bookrastinating -- any others? I have used them all and can't really find a place that I like.

I've reviewed Jason McBride's book about Kathy Acker, 'Eat Your Mind: The Radical Life and Work of Kathy Acker': https://niklas.reviews/2022/11/30/jason-mcbride-eat-your-mind/

I'm trying, I really am - but bookwyrm cost me 3.2 years lifespan and a new strand of grey hair.
I love , that we are able to find books in a Charles-free environment, but how tf am I supposed to add books to my "to read" or "currently reading" list? TikTok and Taylor Swift taught me "It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me" - so has someone out there the solution 😳 🙏🏼

I joined bookrastinating! I'm importing data from GoodReads right now. It's fascinating. #bookrastinating #reading #books

@bookrastinating

I'm new to #BookWyrm as well as your server, so I don't know if it's ok to create a message like this…

I just signed up on #Bookrastinating. Thank you so much!

In theory, if there were people who had already made posts about the books I have read/am reading, would they show up on my home feed? I just added about 15 books but I don't see anything.

My book accounts are lonely 😢. Add me!

@sonderingjoy I joined #bookrastinating but very few of the books I am currently reading are on there--or in the format I'm reading. And importing isn't working yet.

So I'm having trouble trying to figure out if it will work for me--especially since the primary reason I use goodreads is because it marks books started and finished automatically from my kindle.
