Incredible stuff happening. I want push notifications for every update. I hate push notifications.

Okay, if you are tired then you won't be able to read. There I say it. No one else want to say it. It is strange. If you are tired, if you cannot finish a book that's a given. That's why you need to read...at work. You need to steal your reading time from your employers.

you have to read to your kids you have to read with your kids you have to read in front of your kids you have to take your kids to the library you have to talk about books with your kids you have to let your kids read books that are a little difficult or scary you have to teach your kids to love reading

[paperpatchnotes]

In theory this will turn into a full comic but I got...distracted lmao

Beats doing a full character design lineup tho. Farai, Nana, Secunit, and Sofi left to right.

[paperpatchnotes]

As promised.

One of my favorite scenes!

[anacronizeataraxia]

Murderbot: SecUnits wouldn't just randomly start killing humans if they didn't have governer modules that's just propaganda. Anyways, I pretty much never give the code to jailbreak governer modules to other SecUnits in case they randomly start killing the humans I'm looking after.

Three, the second no one is watching it: viva la revolución! ✊☺️

[aredhelunbowed]

I love Three a totally normal amount

[tanoraqui]

Technically, okay, TECHNICALLY, Three only gave it to 1 other SecUnit on the torus.

That SecUnit immediately started running around and giving the code to every other SecUnit it saw.

i'm the newest member of the SecUnit Three fan club hello

I am rereading murderbot in order to read the new volume that dropped this month in the series and I am once again having complicated feelings about this construct (affectionately)

[booksaremadeofawesome]

oh hey! i did it!

we are getting 2 new books per year now, right?

RIGHT?

[what-even-is-thiss]

My dad read me stuff like the lord of the rings and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and Sherlock Holmes as bedtime stories when I was a kid and I dunno what sort of effect that had on my development but whatever it did I think I’m making it everyone else’s problem

[kvothes]

Happy Independent Bookstores Day!! If you're buying a book, shop small and local. Put money back into your community and enjoy the important work bookstores (and bookstore cats) do everyday.

[the-prairies-calling-out]

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

[its-the-blob]

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind

[booksaremadeofawesome]

instead of trying to mess up with things that are working they could fix the algorithm eh? i'm getting suggested bible posts and nothing in the 15 years of me being on tumblr suggests i'd be remotely interested in them

[booksaremadeofawesome]

ok this is how tumblr should be doing updates, with cool snake games and mysterious asks that engage people
