Finished #audiobook The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie. Book 5 in The First Law series. This one didn't quite hold my interest as much as the earlier books, as it was basically a 23-hour long iron age melee gore fest with brief interludes of discussion about the meaninglessness and joy of war, depending on which character was doing the philosophizing, and some various plotting and scheming going on while Bayaz, the First of the Magi, again pulled puppet strings throughout. Steven Pacey as always was a masterful narrator. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #fantasy #SFF #bookstodon

I received this notice from Amazon today about my Amazon Affiliates account:

We are reaching out to inform you about your Amazon Associates account's closure.

...Because you are non compliant, Amazon will not pay you any outstanding commission income. Please be aware that any other related accounts may be closed without payment of any commission income. Amazon reserves all other rights and claims.

If you had configured this store ID to earn globally, we have closed your store ID in all those countries as well.

The violation(s) include the following:

  • Your website/app/social media account does not qualify for inclusion in our program because the content promotes graphic sexual images and/or sexually graphic banner advertisements. Content of such nature constitutes disqualification as it is in violation of our Program Policies.

. . .

If you follow me or check out my feed, the "graphic sexual images" I post are A) the covers of audiobooks for sale on Amazon, and B) vintage 1950s pin-up art. What a bad girl am I.

Anyway, the email includes a link to a form to appeal the decision. I filled it out -- twice. Both times, the form returned a page of error messages; the message does not seem to have gone through and there are no alternate contact methods.

If you are a romance or erotica author or narrator, be forewarned.

Support the small indie creators you care about friends. We are in such tough spots.

Looking for additional narrators of any gender and indie producers to record Sightless Scribbles posts. Sean is still narrating them and producing them, but I need someone else I can call upon, say, when I want to try a Duette style narration with a post featuring a lot of dialog between my friend Kelly that listens to her inner organs rather than any religion, or when I write about my British friend I spilled tea on one day. Most likely, you should be open to work-swaps and installments in payments, etc. Contact me with links to your website or narrator page on Audible, or at least an easy place I can hear your voice. https://sightlessscribbles.com/contact/ #VoiceOver #Voiceover #Audiobook #GetFediHired

Hey! Do you like urban fantasy/queer historical romance set in Wisconsin in 1969? Do you like to tell people about books? I'm now taking applications from people who would like review copies of the Dionysus in Wisconsin audiobook! Review copies will probably be available starting in about two weeks. The audiobook is about 9.5 hrs long. Please let me know if you have questions. https://forms.gle/5AtVqLgzMBeSFPuT8 #bookstodon #romancelandia #audiobook

Others probably already know this, but if you let your #Audible subscription lapse, you will not get titles back that were previously in the included in Audible Plus subscription thing or whatever if you re-subscribe. Just be sure to download and keep all your titles, even if you purchase with cash/credit because I've had to pay for titles twice even though I paid for titles in the past and the book is still published.

Tools to de-DRM your library.

  1. Open Audible. I don't like this one much but Libation is not actively being developed. https://openaudible.org/

  2. Libation. Not being developed, but still works, as of today. https://github.com/rmcrackan/libation

Holy cow, I was NOT ready for the awesomeness that is the #grimnoir series by #LarryCorreia! I picked up the #audiobook for the first title, #hardmagic, on sale and immediately consumed as much as i could find shortly after completing that. Set in an alternative 1930s where people are (since the 1850s) being born with magic powers. The stories play out between a few main characters and some superb supporting roles across 3 main novels and 4 novellas/companion pieces that sees struggles for power, government involvement to "control" those with powers and lots of espionage and action. Correia works in real world events into the timeline, but customises them to fit the world (ie- the Titanic is mentioned in a news broadcast as celebrating the anniversary of it's maiden voyage having been saved by an ice magic individual helping to avoid hitting the ice berg). Its a lot or fun and I'm sad there isn't more to the universe started here. #books #bookstodon #FinishedReading

She could change reality by pulling the threads. #audiobook #multiverse #narration #quantum #StringTheory #video This reading is A World in Threads by Acadia Reynolds, who often writes surreal, fantastical stories. She enjoys crocheting, baking and her dog. The quantum concepts are reality, probability and multiverse. How long before she wants the world back the way it was? https://greencomet.org/2026/07/15/youtube-quantum-shorts-2-a-world-in-threads/ rjb

Can you use quantum physics to rob a bank? #audiobook #multiverse #narration #quantum #StringTheory #video This reading is It Takes Two to Entangle by DA Quiñones, an innovation lead in quantum technologies at Innovate UK. He is passionate about science communication, especially when it's about quantum physics. The quantum concepts are non-locality, teleportation and tunnelling. It's easy to rob a bank. You just have to take a quantum tunnelling pill. Right? https://youtu.be/p4iskGDZDYU rjb
