How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

In my house, if your teenage daughter says she's interested in maybe reading Jane Eyre, you immediately go out and get a copy of Jane Eyre. I had one when I lived in the US, but I couldn't bring all my books with me when I moved to Australia. My library is getting filled again as time goes by.

I ordered an XTEINK 4 ! This thing looks awesome. I hear there's one with a light coming out soon, but I want battery life more than anything in this ereader. I can use my Kobo if I want light. I want something small and lightweight to go out in the world that seldom needs charging. So excited!

I've been freezing, and oodies are heavily discounted, so I bought one, and I am finally comfortable! I love this thing. Why have I waited so long?

I just put a bunch of books on hold at the library with the hope they'll trickle in one at a time, and not all come at once.

Sometimes, the covers people make for ebooks make no sense at all for the book. This is a book about the French Revolution and adventure. What is this photo about?

Cover for Kobo Plus ebook edition The Scarlet Pimpernel by the Baroness Emma Orczy, but it has "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in pink at the top, a strange blue swirl background, and a woman dressed in modern clothes and a modern hairstyle wearing a shirt that is unbuttoned to show cleavage.

There are sooooo many books I want to read. It's becoming overwhelming!

I imagine once trump is gone and these goons start getting arrested for the assaults and murders they committed as ICE agents they will suddenly remember that being allowed to see your lawyer is actually a very important part of the whole process.

The worst thing I did today was accidentally putting salt in my coffee instead of sugar.

I have a bunch of old recipe cards that were my grandmothers - she was married in the mid late 30s, and the newest ones seem to be from the 70s. Some were from the milkman when he made deliveries. This one is from the bottom of an order form, but some are promotional Betty Crocker recipe cards.

Don't forget to order buttermilk. The best cooks use BUTTERMILK in a wide variety of delightful recipes, and recommend it wherever sour milk can be used. BUTTERMILK SUGAR COOKIES: 2 cups sugar, heaping cup of lard, pinch of salt, 2 eggs, cup of buttermilk with teaspoon of soda beaten up in it, little nutmeg. Flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder sifted in. Enough flour to make dough stiff enough to roll out. Cut with cookie cutter and bake in hot oven.

Ok so I've joined @pagebound.bsky.social and I've become "royalty" which doesn't cost much and I want the site to stick around and remain just a place where people talk about books and not an advertising forum. So far so good.

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I've had the same water bottle for about 6 years, but the top was hard to clean and broke at some point so it leaked, and I've been dealing with that. But then I bought a new top, and it's been redesigned, and the new one looks easy to clean, and it's like I have a new water bottle.
