For #fridayreads today, a return to @pluralistic@mamot.fr , this time non-fiction.

While reading this 2022 book, several times I got the impression that "this could have been written 20 years before" (or, more to the point, lament that we did not learn the lesson back then), but at the same time the book is still as relevant (if not more) today than it was when it was published.

Lagging 9 years behind (and it feels too much), but my #fridayreads is @pluralistic@mamot.fr 's #Walkaway, a book I bought as soon as it was out and now I wish I hadn't postponed its reading for so long...

#DragonBall is the longest book saga I read: I've been reading it for more than 30 years now. On this #FridayReads I'm reading the volume 20 of Dragon Ball Super, released two years ago (so in perspective I'm not lagging behind much...)

5 star reads of 2025 worth mentioning

#bookstodon 🧵

Someone has asked recently on a toot for others to share their 'list of 2025 books'. Instead of pointing out to the list of what I've read, I'll instead mention a few '5 star' books I've read in 2025 that I think is worth pointing out towards.

By no particular order (well, the order in the photo, really...)

• AJ Pearce's "Yours Cheerfully" and "Mrs Porter Calling", books 2 and 3 of The Emmy Lake Chronicles. I'd already read the first book in the series and considered it a five stars read, and I plan to eventually read the fourth and last book in the series - the paperback edition is out next August. This isn't a deep or profound book series - and doesn't need to be in order to be a good one. It's a series depicting the life of a young woman in war-time London. Each of these books made me cry and made me laugh, and I have found some comfort reading them in a time where, in many aspects, it feels like we're living in a pre-war era...
