Every quarter I take a look ahead at which tech books are coming soon so Disconnect readers can gauge whether they want to add any new books to their reading lists.
The spring list is out now, with 9 forthcoming books subscribers might want to consider!

If you're into this sort of thing, you should go visit this virtual library experience about book bans.
If you do, make sure to wander around and click on things. There are links in there to info, organizations, library cards, and activism.
Since I moved the #TBR...pile? multi-towered stack? library? this afternoon, it is convenient for me to share it with y'all. 
This does not include ebooks, obvs.

Hey #Bookstodon, I am looking for some good #fantasy audiobooks to add to my #ToRead list.
Tell me what I should read and why.
Thank you!
I just finished the first essay in #JeffSharlet’s “#TheUndertow: scenes from a slow #civilWar. ” It’s a reflection on the ‘masks’ we wear (w/ #HarryBelafonte).
I know it’s not possible to know everything. But there’s so much that I didn’t know. Like this desegregated Revlon-sponsored, award-winning 1959 #TV special: https://youtu.be/L6oBqOR8kzo?feature=shared

@josschuurmans @obsidianmd @obsidian @nickmilo I’ve used both links and tags, but when the system began to feel ragged (and when it started introducing delays — “Will I link or tag this?”), I launched the Great Tag Apocalypse and converted ALL tags to links.
In practice, though, I’ve found that for status (#ToRead or #Draft) and certain markers (#Idea and #Insight), tags just “feel” better to me. I realize this makes no objective sense.
So: some tags are back.
Cranked up the #Bear app for the first time in more than a year. Found a trove of old notes on various subjects, from a pack of work-related meeting minutes to notes from a long-forgotten doctor visit.
Finding these felt like finding an unexpected little window into my own life. Funny how much of what mattered once doesn't matter now.
(I was glad to rediscover old #ToRead, #ToWatch, and #ToEat lists, as well as notes on cocktails to try!)
@owlislost @bookstodon Thanks for this - I've marked it down on my #ToRead list. #Reading
Looking for a #YA #BookRecommendation please.
My son is moving into YA and absolutely loves thrillers/mysteries. Many of the #books we’ve found so far in this genre have all-teen-girl casts (do publishers assume boys trot off to the spec-fic aisle at the YA point?). He has zero issue with female leads, but it’d be nice to break it up with some mixed-gender books.
His gold standard is Karen McManus but he also loved How to Survive Your Murder (so he doesn’t mind a little spec in his fic). I’ve already got him The Killing Code (Marney) to branch out into historical thrillers, and am eyeing off The King is Dead (Dean).
Can anyone #recommend any others?
