    I love @bookwyrm #BookWyrm
    It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and the community there is full of lovely people who are for the most part genuinely interested in sharing their love of #books and helping each other find something worthwhile to read.

    The occasional communal gushing around especially excellent #books is also quite nice.

    And it's one of the only social reading spaces where I feel like I can actually trust the #reviews, whether positive, negative, or neutral. For that matter, it's one of the few places online outside of dedicated book review blogs which actually contains a high proportion of thoughtful reviews.

  2. I was stupidly thrilled while reading my e-newsletter from @elcultural to find the word "letraheridos" (more or less "people hurt by letters") to describe what English might call or lovers—and now I'm wondering if the origins of this newer term have anything to do with declaring was hurt into ... Wherever it came from, I'm declaring it the best word I've heard in ages.

  5. 🚨​ ATTN #Bibliophiles !

    Article on #DoullsBooks #SecondHandBookshop (formerly of #Halifax, now in #Dartmouth) - it has been around for FORTY YEARS. I love that it is an institution so many grew up with. 🥰​

    They ship all over the world, but only their more unusual #books are on their website - if you don't see it, it doesn't mean they don't have it! Contact them or visit in person!

    AND! About visiting - the staff wear #masks! 🎉​

  6. It seems the hashtags in our profiles might not be searchable, so I'm pinning this to help find like-minded people.

    I alphabetized these because that's what one does, but don't be surprised to find gaps in topics. #ADHDBrain means there may have been something #Shiny or #ItsRainingAgain. 🧵

    When I first read your question I thought a connection improbable; after some reflection & googling that changed!
    The Wikipedia page on #JaneAusten was helpful, & thinking about the conversational & subscription networks of a force of nature like #JohnNichols - Jane's father & #WarrenHastings might well have been typical of the customers in this age of gentleman #bibliophiles and #antiquarians?
