Steve CupDon Marquis (marc-kwis, scottish not french) is one of my all-time favorite writers. My literary, hipster, "you've probably never heard of him." But there he is, dead center, top of the doors of the Brooklyn library, a cat and a cockroach, his characters archy and Mehitabel. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a>

Cendrine Marrouat"In 'What Will Happen Next', you will see the world through young Emma Elicia's eyes, for all its kindness and cruelty. This is a story that acknowledges the misfortunes of life and defies them, calls the reader to the closeness of love, and soothes the soul's loneliness. You will be saddened, surprised, and in the end, uplifted." - Justin Smith, Linguist and Short Story Author<a href="https://books2read.com/happen-next" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://books2read.com/happen-next</a><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/shortstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shortstory</a>

JuhisToday I woke up, took the bus to the library and borrowed Becky Chambers' A psalm for the wild-built and came to a pub to start reading.I read the entire book in one sitting. Not only is Chambers' storytelling excellent and the Finnish translation beautiful, I felt such immense parallels to Dex's situation that I just couldn't stop reading.It was lovely to explore the unexplainable feeling of being lost and not knowing where to go next, through the story and dialogue of someone else.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a>

DC Books to PrisonsOne of the baffling and frustrating things about our work is that people sometimes donate to us <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> that don't actually belong to them! The books in question are <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#library</a> books, often borrowed from school <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a>. We aren't sure why people do this. Whatever the reason, donating checked-out library books to us basically puts us in the position of owning stolen property. Please, folks, if you have a checked-out library book, return it to the appropriate library yourself.<a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/StolenProperty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StolenProperty</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 22, 1886: Mark Twain, who was a lifelong member of the International Typographical Union, gave a speech entitled, “Knights of Labor: The New Dynasty.” In the speech, he commended the Knights’ commitment to fair treatment of all workers, regardless of race or gender. “When all the bricklayers, and all the machinists, and all the miners, and blacksmiths, and printers, and stevedores, and housepainters, and brakemen, and engineers . . . and factory hands, and all the shop girls, and all the sewing machine women, and all the telegraph operators, in a word, all the myriads of toilers in whom is slumbering the reality of that thing which you call Power, ...when these rise, call the vast spectacle by any deluding name that will please your ear, but the fact remains that a Nation has risen.”<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KnightsOfLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KnightsOfLabor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solidarity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#union</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarkTwain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarkTwain</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#race</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gender</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>
