@cstross *blink* I don't remember that shift at all.

@libreleah We're still sorting out the 6-figure tax bill we had last year, cash is low 😄.

@cstross I get the bulk of my ebooks from Amazon --- because I give out so many of them. Only two vendors let me buy gifts; only one of those lets me buy in bulk.

This does not make me happy, but the reality is: I can stop gifting ebooks, or I can continue to use Kindle.

@libreleah I need to get a couple of servers here, in Ireland — one for building, one for NASing.

@libreleah Do you have machines suitable for servers? At a minimum, with ECC RAM?

@Antiqueight Over on FB. I didn't screenshot before blocking the page.

"so-and-so is the best council member ever he got rid of the mosque in kilkenny" what the actual fuck?

@triptych Therefore, by that logic, crimes committed by a company can't be prosecuted, because companies aren't people.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of THOSE BEYOND THE WALL by Micaiah Johnson, which I have but have NOT read. And in the process of collecting everything for this I forgot what all I was going to say, other than happy equinox! I hope everyone balanced a raw egg on its end!

We went to Jysk and bought furniture today. I am exhausted.

Cached UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 5 copies of Terry Pratchett's Maskerade (Discworld #18). This was not for me, primarily because the references weren't in a genre I care a lot about. But you're not me! As long as you have an amazon.co.uk account, anyway!

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Familiar Spirits (Twilight Hollow Witchy Cozy Mysteries Book 1) by Sara Christene, which I have but have not read, since I just got the copy right now. If you read it let me know what you think!

I got it because it was on sale, and of course "cozy fantasy" is a big thing right now, and also there's a CGI cat on the cover.

Which, as the first book established, has something like a 50% survival rate. This particular book in the series is, I'd say, more about filling out the world -- what the people in the magical society are like, what Our Protagonist is like, the importance of social circles, and so forth. (The third book turns the entire series into a retelling of a classic story and I was stunned when I realized that.)

This series is so good that I am comfortable giving out the middle one -- if you haven't read it, I *strongly* recommend going out and getting A DEADLY EDUCATION (which is about €4.50 right now, I think) so you can read this one. And then get the third one.

*Please* share this giveaway any way you can, because the UK/IE books are very hard for me to get out enough. Not enough UK/IE followers, I presume, as opposed to any inherent mistrust of free books. 😄

UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of @naominovik's The Last Graduate (The Scholomance Book 2). As the title says, it's the 2nd book in a trilogy. Note that these require an amazon.co.uk Kindle account!

This series is, well, fantastic of course since it's a fantasy, but it is also *stunning*. The first book gives us a wizard school that is clearly evil by design. This book follows up on that and gets Our Hero to graduation.
