@derek Not offhand, but when I've looked into agents, I thought Publisher's Lunch newsletter was pretty helpful in seeing who's out there and what they rep. Might still be a free version.

@ct_bergstrom You were not kidding.

@kingrat While I'm happy to interact and discuss about books on Bookwyrm, my goal is more to discuss books elsewhere (Mastodon, maybe linkedin if not too heretical) and then be able to direct to my presence on Bookwyrm. So I'm not terribly bothered to end on a small instance or one where there's not a ton of interaction on the instance. My main preference then is somewhere that will be maintained and available for a long time.

Anyone have any recommendations for Bookwyrm instance(s) oriented around climate change and climate action? (But happy with a well-run generic instance too!)

Looking to join one to start tracking and recommending reads on those topics, including climate justice, sustainability, solarpunk, economics, and circular economies, but also overlapping a bit with technology, history, democracy, politics, finance, and potentially other tangentially related topics.

@derek What do they do or recommend? Currently dealing with it too.

@inthehands @anildash Was there ever any doubt?

To my shame, I've only recently caught on to how amazing loaning ebooks and audiobooks from a local library and Libby/Overdrive are. Checked out something that's been on my reading list a long time and put some things on hold and it's a great addition to drive time or doing the dishes. If we have to suffer through time in a metal box or do chores, it might as well be packed with learning and/or entertainment.
