In regard to the purchased but unread book, I really like really really "should not" buy any more books until I have read the stuff l have not read yet, I don't know how many I do have on the ToBeRead section of my kindle library as at one point I had to factory reset it which lost everything I'd downloaded but not read.

The New Nebula Award Finalists

The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association has released its list of finalists for the new Nebula Awards. These are some of the best stories, movies, games and more from 2025, and a great way to boost your to be read list. If you’re an SFWA member you have until April 15th to vote on your favorites.

The list is available in lots of places but I’ll link to Andrew Liptak’s site because he has already done the work of finding links for the stories that are available online. Thanks, Andrew!

I’ll copy the short stories here, but click through to Andrew’s site for links to the novelettes and more. And do I love that many of the top short story markets are open access? I do!

Here are the finalists for the 2026 Nebula Awards

Best Short Story 

• “Through the Machine” by P.A. Cornell (Lightspeed Magazine, 5/25)
• “Six People to Revise You” by J.R. Dawson (Uncanny Magazine, 1-2/25)
• “In My Country” by Thomas Ha (Clarkesworld Magazine 4/25)
• “The Tawlish Island Songbook of the Dead” by E.M. Linden (PodCastle 2/18/25)
• “Because I Held His Name Like a Key” by Aimee Ogden (Strange Horizons 6/16/25)
• “Laser Eyes Ain’t Everything” by Effie Seiberg (Diabolical Plots 5/25)

I’ve only read a couple of these stories so this promises to be a treat. Happy reading everyone!

Esoteric Languages Challenge Coders to Think Way Outside the Box

I will definitely have to look into this. This has so many applications for me.

I put the book: Forty-Four Esolangs The Art of Esoteric Code on my reading list.

It never fails. I place a bunch of #library holds on #ebooks I want to read and sort my #ToBeRead list based on the wait times. Then something I'm really looking forward to from lower on the list suddenly becomes available weeks ahead of schedule.

Oh, no! Whatever shall I do?

Anyway, I just started #Oathbound!

The bibliophile is the master of his books, the bibliomaniac their slave.”

I look at the overspill of #books from my shelves and the #ToBeRead piles and I sometimes feel overwhelmed like 'is this too many? Will I live long enough to read them all?' but keep succumbing to bargain find temptations but I am also in awe & love of the copious beautiful art and photography books and the strange compelling range of other fiction & nonfiction books I own.

Sunday pottering so far.
- Read crappy email from family member.
- Quietly fumed.
- Coffee.
- Moved a picture to a new spot.
- Hung another (wedding present) picture in its place.
- Culled our overfilled bookshelves.
- Filled large paper carrier bag full of read/no longer wanted books

Yet to happen.
- Take books to local op shop.
- Maybe a little game time.
- Wait for my love (went into work)

My to-be-read book pile is often made up of recent buys, previously bought but not yet read, withdrawn library books & loans from friends. These include fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, crime, psychology & biography. There is never a defined order of which is to be read when, rather the pile is rifled through & the next book chosen by mood or whim. 'Brother Kemal' is half-read & then I'll shift to my Kindle for two weeks while I am travelling. What's in your pile?
