Edinburgh: A New History by Alistair Moffat
A rapid romp through Edinburgh's history. Fun & informative
120 days of reading a short story first thing instead of going straight on my phone*
Today's story was the last in this collection, my first completed anthology of the year. It's full of beautiful, funny, brilliant, heartbreaking, fabulous stories, definitely worth checking out!

* I can't say for definite it's reducing my overall phone use, but I am making things again regularly for the first time in years and I haven't been on reddit for a month now so I reckon probably on balance it is helping to some extent!

I've finished: Paladin's Faith by T. Kingfisher
A 'wonderful installment in the Saint of Steel series.
Wonderful characters, danger, romance and humor. This time it's more of a rescue mission.
The special bonus is that towards the end we get to learn a bit more about the nature of demons, gods and saints.

We're currently in the interregnum stage of the Catholic Church, when everyone's anxiously awaiting for the conclave and the election of a new pope.
Though Pope Francis has outwardly been seen as a reformer, in general, the Church has also been rigid in its tenets, unlike most Christian denominations. Some like it, some hate it, nonetheless it's been part of Catholicism's reputation, and unlikely to change anytime soon.
Help.
I'm looking for a science fiction story i once read. It's about people who never leave their homes and communicate by phone only. For some reason(?) one person takes the brave step of leaving their home. There might be robots
Please boost. #bookstodon #BookSearch
Edit. I think it's The Machine Stops by E M Forster but feel free to suggest similar! Thank you everyone 
Started reading Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi & so far it is ENGROSSING.

@Yjeva I found the second, Monday's Warriors even better. Strangely, I know I read the third, The House of Strife, back when it was fresh but I have absolutely no recollection of it at all. Monday's Warriors lead me to the non fiction I Shall Not Die by James Belich which was very revealing.

Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu has a real gift for telling stories that feel both magical and deeply real. In The Creation of Half-Broken People, she brings the reader into a world full of characters who have been hurt by life, but who keep reaching for love, hope, and meaning.
From the author of Spontaneous comes a '90s mixtape of a young adult novel that delivers a summer romance with an unearthly twist.
It was just one swim… How could they know it would never end?

#NowReading: The Cuckoo’s Egg:
Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage
by Clifford Stoll
I've seen this book referenced many times over in books about #cybersecurity. The true story that's “as exciting as any action novel”, an astronomer-turned-cyber-detective begins a personal quest to expose spies that threaten national security.
