Book: Starred review from PW Cover: KNOCK IT OFF!!!!! #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97815...

Is it just me or are a disproportionate amount of mermaids redheads? #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97807...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

Starred review from LJ. Both her NF and Fic seem to be very popular here. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97808...

"Sleeping with your professor is bad enough. Sleeping with a serial killer is just asking for trouble." Okay, I can't argue with either of those sentences. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

I want it. Right now. Today. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97898...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

So I wanted to label this but all of the labels are only warning against sex. There isn't a label for "that's fucking sick!" Very good cover, though. I just never want to ever see it again. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97819...

Starred review from Booklist. Again, I don't love the cover. Although, it grows on me the more I see it. #collectiondevelopment

I normally am very anti-lacy border boxing, but it kind of hits the opposites part of this book. I don't know. I don't hate it. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

I'm not saying this reminded me of As the World Turns but....yeah, I guess I am saying that. I think it's the font, more than anything. #collectiondevelopment link.amazon/B0fWJds6c

All the Crime in the World edited by Gigi Pandian and Tom Mead

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

When I saw the title, I was thinking of a very different cover. Something with more....water. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

I would buy this just because the publisher is "Death by TBR Books." LOL. I giggled. Well played. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97989...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

I want it to be a different color. I keep looking for a blue or a green....or a magenta....and yet, I also like it a lot. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97989...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 17d

Okay, back to my actual job. Book covers that make me think my eyes aren't working make me angry. Why would you make that blurry? #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97989...

This is all it takes to ruin someone's career before it even really gets started. Nevermind that the "technology" hasn't been vetted, the research hasn't been peer reviewed. They say it is, so now it is. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

The study has yet to be peer-reviewed, and to be clear, there is no definitive proof that Wolfe used AI. “The suggestion that I used generative AI to write Daggermouth is wholly untrue,” Wolfe said in a statement sent by her lawyer. “I wrote this book myself. I have been outspoken about my opposition to generative AI and what it’s doing to writers, artists, and the creative community. I don’t believe it belongs in the writing process.” Referencing Pangram’s limitations, Wolfe added that “accusations like these have real consequences for authors, and they should not be made on the basis of technology that is known to be unreliable.” Susannah Lawrence, a spokesperson for Daggermouth’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, told me in an email that the company stands behind the book, noting that it went through “the same editorial and production process as our other published titles.” Neither Wolfe nor Lawrence addressed my questions about the “rare expressions” that Daggermouth shares with other recent ebooks.

How can you tell which ones are AI generated?

Semicolons and dashes.

Of course this is true. This is the problem we've been having all along! YOU CAN'T KNOW UNLESS THEY ADMIT TO IT! We need something to identify when they do NOT disclose it.

But there's a catch, and it's a big one. The effectiveness of any AI content filter depends entirely on accurate labeling. Publishers need to disclose when books are AI-generated, and self-publishing authors need to be honest about their creative process. In an industry where transparent attribution is still evolving, that's far from guaranteed.

Pretty mixed review from LJ, but it sounds timely and marketable. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97800...

I'm being bombarded by Greece today! I'm not mad at it. This cover reminds me of those "do you see an island or two faces" pictures. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97988...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 18d

you're never gonna get me on the horromance train, but this sounds like a cute romance. ROMANCE. #collectiondevelopment #stopit bookshop.org/a/4013/97810...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 18d

I thought this was an entirely different thing at first. Starred reviews from Booklist and Kirkus. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97803...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 18d

I needed something besides this.

Woah we're halfway there
Woah lemon on a Pear

Is Dystopian really a separate category from current events? Can we just call it "Well, this hasn't happened yet." #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97982...

The End of Everything by M. John Harrison

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 18d

The cover looks like a piece of art. Starred reviews from LJ and Kirkus. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97805...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 18d

I mean, of course I was going to buy it. But, since the Booker longlist came out, I'm buying it today instead of....later. Starred reviews from Kirkus and LJ. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97805...

Robin Bradford@tuphlos· 18d

that's pretty. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97982...

Me either, girl #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97982...

Something about this title really speaks to me. It also kind of sounds like it would an ep of a tv show. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97817...

Meet Me in the Darkness by Martta Kaukonen

This sounds like a delicious menu item. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97819...
