Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

This is the other non-fiction I might pick up next. I borrowed it from the library years ago, and it was due before I finished. I got it for Christmas that year and I'm worried that if i don't pick it up soon I'll forget where I left off.

I listened to an abridged version as a Book-on-Tape years ago. I got the unabridged dead tree version for Christmas. I think I might pick it up next after I finish my current non-fiction.

I stopped reading this yesterday. I don't know if I will ever pick it up again or not. After too many disturbing descriptions of still births, dead babies and the like I just couldn't deal with it.
With 100 recipes and practical advice, this is the only guide you'll need to get …
I don't normally review cookbooks, but this one was necessary. Earlier this year my doctor recommended I take up a primarily Mediterranean diet to help with my heart failure and obesity. I picked this cookbook up from the library because it sounded like a good place to start. This is the only book I ever liked so much that I purchased a copy before the library book was even due. So far we have liked every recipe we've tried in the book, and in the 6 weeks I've been using it as my primary source of meals I've lost over 20 lbs., and my blood pressure has remained in check. I'm only giving 4 stars rather than 5 as Paravents isn't actually the best author. In particular in the introduction part, she talks about how to grocery shop and includes that when choosing whether to purchase something ask yourself if …

I'm a Midwesterner I have no reference for what they would have in their kitchen. It's the 21st century so I assume we all have access to the same groceries. Also, in one recipe she completely missed a step. She had us to mix a set of ingredients and set it to the side, but then never said what to do with it later in the recipe.

After the destruction of the original space station by a rogue faction of the Typhon …
While this is the 28th book in our continuing mission of the crew and station of Deep Space Nine since the T.V. Series finale it's also the first in the "side-quest" THE FALL series. As such David George III spends a lot of the first half of the book trying to bring new readers up to speed as well as detailing the new Deep Space Nine to all of us. He did so in an interesting fashion through a memorial service and a dedication, but it wasn't particularly thrilling and really easy to put down. Got a little better in the second half but it was odd explanation of getting around security by using a "projectile weapon" rather than a phaser and a weird, intertwined story of an experience inside the celestial temple.
I'll probably pick up the next one, but probably not soon.
