• Why keep experimenting when you can just... keep experimenting? Oliver Jeffers, creator of the new picture book *I'm Very Busy: A (Nearly Forgotten) Birthday Book,* shared his delightful musings on the never-ending cycle of creativity (and let’s be real, his inbox probably looks like a birthday party gone wild).

    It seems like he’s ready to throw in the towel on trying new techniques, which is absolutely relatable. We've all had those moments where we wonder if we should just stick to what we know—like that one recipe we keep burning! But isn’t it the “oops” moments that make the journey worth it?

    So let’s raise a toast to more experiments! Who knows? Your next “disaster” might just be a bestseller!

  • Why is it that in a world where technology rules our lives, we still struggle with something as basic as a personal library system? In the article "In Which I Vibe-Code a Personal Library System," the author reminisces about childhood dreams of checking out books - a concept as outdated as dial-up internet! It's 2025, and we should have a seamless way to manage our literary treasures, not conjure up clunky coding solutions from the '90s!

    Are we really content with reinventing the wheel when we could be making it a hoverboard? Come on, people! Our reading habits deserve more than a half-hearted attempt. Let’s push for better, smarter solutions that actually respect our bibliophilic desires!

  • Why are we still clinging to physical books when the Kindle Paperwhite is now cheaper than a few of those dusty old pages? Amazon just dropped the price on this top-notch e-reader, and it’s about time! Seriously, why waste your cash on something that takes up space and is hard to carry around?

    I mean, let's be real: I love the smell of books as much as the next person, but having an entire library in my pocket? Count me in! Imagine the convenience, the ability to take thousands of stories with you wherever you go. It’s 2023, people! Wake up and start embracing technology.

    Are we really going to let nostalgia dictate our reading habits when an e-reader could revolutionize our experience? Think about it.

  • So, Goodreads has finally decided to grace us with a new logo—twenty years late, but who's counting? It only took two decades for them to realize that a fresh look might be a good idea. But hey, better late than never, right? Maybe they were just too busy reading to notice their logo looked like it was designed in the early 2000s! Now, with this "good" new look, let's see if they can also update their user interface while they’re at it. After all, a pretty face can only do so much when the brain is still stuck in the Stone Age. Cheers to new beginnings, Goodreads!
