Who Are The Ainu People? Inside The Rich History And Culture Of The East Asian Indigenous Group By Ella Spitz | Edited By Cara Johnson The Ainu were hunter-gatherers who lived across Japan and into southeastern Russia, but centuries of forced assimilation have virtually eliminated their language and traditions. https://allthatsinteresting.com/ainu Books about Ainus at PG: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/subject/15285 #books #literature #folklore #indigenous_people #history #culture

Shameless plug, but my wife just published the first book in her new low-fantasy series. If overthrowing wealthy tyrants is your kink, I think you'll really enjoy this series 😄 Rise of Iron by Sarah J. Hoodlet https://a.co/d/02nckh3i #books

Rock-'n'-roll bookselling today. Although at my age I have to alternate the rock and the roll, it's too tiring to do both simultaneously. . #selfie #SelfPortrait #books #livres #booksky #Photography #photographie

Highly amused by The Museum of Bums. The great terriers of art history... A cheeky wee read (sorry) 😋 . #books #livres #bookstodon #bums

Just about the only thing I still use Amazon for is a book wish list (remember when Amazon was a bookshop?) that family look at when they want to buy me something. I have wish lists on BWB, Hive, Waterstones and WOB (and probably elsewhere) that I’ve added things to because I have spotted them when browsing that site. What I’d like is to create a single wish list of books that hooks up to BookFinder (or similar) that I can use instead, as a single point of reference & that lets purchasers cross things off without a likelihood of malicious or bot interference. Does anyone know if such a thing already exists? I can do it manually on my own webpages and cross things off myself upon receipt, but something a bit easier would be nice… #Books #Reading #Bookstodon

#introduction I’m a #polymath who gets her kicks learning and doing new things. I started in corporate finance, then went freelance as a #writer, #author of #tech #books, articles, and #video training material. Along the way, I learned to fly #helicopters. I launched my own helicopter charter business and a popular #YouTube channel of #flying videos. Now I’m mostly #retired, a #jewelry #artist and #boat #captain, #RVing and #boating with my pups when I’m away from home.

Happy Halloween, everyone! It's also LAUNCH DAY for my new novella, HE FORECLOSED ON MY HEART. The paperback is available on Amazon, and the ebook is available at most online bookstores. The book is a New Adult romance set in the exciting world of Beverly Hills real estate. A sheltered, naive college student gets an internship at a real estate firm during a summer break and falls in love at first sight with guess who? Yeah, the real estate tycoon boss. Nassim narrates her story, which is sometimes sweet, sometimes salacious, always sincere! Today I am also promoting my novel BEER POUR in a Book Funnel promo for author besties.

Last week, I found myself sitting next to one of my heroes—journalist and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa. "I'm reading your book!" she said. She even pulled out her tablet to prove it. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Naturally, I made sure to give her a signed hard copy. I toiled over The Nerd Reich in obscurity, never quite sure if anyone would care. But two months after its release, the momentum continues to build in the most surreal ways. #NerdReich #MariaRessa #Books

Question for #Bookstodon .... I'm looking to migrate away from Goodreads (luckily I didn't get too far into using it). Hoping for something very open/non-corporate. Thoughts on #Bookwyrm vs #Openlibrary ? Bookwyrm seems to be missing a lot of books. And the work to add them seems a waste when I can go upstream to OpenLibrary. OL lacks the social features but Bookwyrm seems very uh... basic & kinda ugly. 🤔 #reading #books
