It's high time someone added the latest #folklore works by @SimonRoyHughes@thefolklore.cafe to the Open Library records (and #Bookwyrm , of course).

@maxheadroom What's the best practice for adding entries vs. importing on #BookWyrm?
https://mythicisland.com/inverted_frontier_edges.php by @LindaNagata is not on https://books.mxhdr.net/author/7549/s/linda-nagata, but when I search I find many references on other instances that are all for the paperback. Is it "better" to add a new entry for the #eBook or just import one of the paperback editions. Are comments for the different editions correlated, or will my comments and review be isolated because they're for the e-book?

@mcrocker@books.mxhdr.net @maryrobinette Thanks for this delightful book I enjoyed it.
I am curious though... did the @ mention of you in my #BookWyrm review show up on your feed? I'm not sure if I should boost my book reviews from https://books.mxhdr.net/ here *and* post a comment with a mention of the author, or just rely on the mention in the review to do the job.
What would be your reaction if you came upon a library but didn't know what a library was... 🤔😂

Leia wants to read Upon a Burning Throne by Ashok K. Banker
A fantasy based off of Sanskrit mythology? Could be queerer, but that's enough to get it in my TBR. ^_^
I've mentioned this before, but I like using Bookwyrm as it gets me to update the Open Library entries so it looks nice once I import it here.

An obfuscating flood of names

Much improved on the first book, though still too much banter and an obfuscating flood of names & places.

Musing about Bookwyrm. i have an account on Bookwyrm.social, which i abandoned when it wasn't federating properly and wasn't getting fixed after weeks. i now use sfba.club. it's got over a hundred users, but that's dwarfed by bookwyrm.social's thousands. and I'm easily one of the most active on sfba.club.
so here's what I'm noticing: bookwyrm has even more of a problem connecting people to the wider bookwyrm fediverse than mastodon does to the wider general fediverse. if a server doesn't see a post, it doesn't know about it.
in mastodon, boosts expand the network. a@server1 follows b@server2 and b follows c@server3. b boosts c and because of that, server1 knows about the post.
bookwyrm users don't boost that much, so cross server enrichment doesn't happen much. if i look at a particular book, i won't get the benefit of reviews from server3 because few if any boost from server2. setver1 …

small bookwyrm servers are even more starved than small mastodon servers.

Just joined bookwyrm.social and imported my goodreads stuff. I read F, SF, tech, police procedurals, and whatever else keeps my attention. You can find me at birv2@bookwyrm.social.
