My first solarpunk novel releases today. You can discover Murder in the Tool Library at eBook retailers. For a paperback like I’m holding, you’ll have to wait until next week. (Barnes and Noble did me dirty.)

As ironic as it is to purchase yon library-economy-promoting book, our comrades still need that cash money to function in real life. And this indie ebook is significant cheaper than the last mainstream ebook I bought.

I asked several librarians what they wanted in futuristic libraries. It was pretty basic stuff, like a bigger budget to purchase ebooks.

The next-level play would be to get your library to purchase Murder in the Tool Library, but like I said, their budgets are stretched.

My library will let you donate books, I think most should. After I read your book I'll just give it to them.

Perfect! 💚💚💚

@AEMarling - My library needs (or prefers) an ISBN. Do you have one for this book? I only found the Barnes and Noble number.

The eBook ISBN is 9798215802649. This is exciting. 💚

@AEMarling - Cheers! Just put it in! (Screenshot of request below... but not sure if you can see it in the Lemmy UI - You'll have to click on this reply's link to view it on the Mastodon page for the screenshot)

maybe too this will offset all my Kindle recommendations from the trash romance novels I borrowed via Kindle on my library's ebook app. I don't actually want to purchase trash romance novels, thank you, just trash slice-of-life isekai manga
