Yarn and books : both are things that I just couldn't do without in my life! And the best part about it is when you meet your knitting and reading soulmates and share the same values. Thank you @idealistatheart.bsky.social for another great reading tip! #knitdesign #knittingpattern #booksky

continuing with the theme of technology reads, this feels like a decent follow-up to supremacy. another one that’s remained unread on my shelves for way too long. #currentread #booksky #nonfiction #technology

'supremacy' by parmy olson is well-researched, relevant, and surprisingly breathless for a #nonfiction book. the writing in the later chapters mirrored the fast pace of AI development, which i guess was the point. it felt like i inhaled them. #booksky #technology #AI #journalism

wait… you organise your books by COLOUR?! if there’s one comment i hear over and over, it’s this one. like i can’t be a ‘serious’ nonfiction reader if i sort my books this way. but to me books are fun, colours are fun, and using colour to sort books is a LOT of fun. #booksky #nonfiction #bookshelf
