Finished reading: Kings of the Wyld (The Band) by Nicholas Eames 📚
if there’s another book it better be about Jane!

Currently reading: Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing by Pete Davis 📚
Finished reading: Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan 📚 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Charming. Recommend listening to it as an audiobook, as the instruments and ensemble contribute to the experience. Better execution than Cloud Atlas.
I’ve been looking at all these book-tracking sites, and the first to be open to my “hey, can we have an API?” request has been @literalclub.
It should be possible for a person to update a book status on their own site and then hit APIs to update on book profile sites. 📚
There was a paperback sale, and we only bought 10 books. #temperance 😅🕊📚
