The only acceptable telling of this story

I'm tired of seeing the telling of "the scorpion and the frog" fable ham fisted into so many stories. I don't think I ever heard that one growing up, yet I've heard it a dozen times in shows.
Just tried it out! Happy with the results, but I agree some UI tweaking could go a long way. Where to type your search, and the results are too "clean" to the point where it's a bit confusing.
Great work!
Just finish Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and I'm about a third of the way through James by Percival Everett.
Both are so good!
Definitely recommend Blindsight!
Mad Eden by Morgan Thomas, and I started the his dark materials books to read with my nephews.
Mad Eden is a difficult read. I don't really like the main characters. The book is good still. I wouldn't tell others not to read it.
His dark materials is great. Pullman does an awesome job of showing how confusing it is for young people to understand the complexities of navigating and growing into the adult world. Very anti religion too, which was part of why I got it for them.
Woodworking by Emily St James is an amazing book. It's fiction about a trans woman in her 30s finally coming out, and a trans teenager who has already been out for a while.
Just finished Ella Minnow Pea because of someone's suggestion here of good epistolary novels. It was great! Highly recommend.
Reading Woodworking by Emily St James currently. It is also incredibly good! I can't put it down.
I'm reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.
I'm not sure how much I like it. It does a very good job of giving a look into African society around the time of slavery and missionaries, so I can see why it is touted as such an important novel. That said, I don't love the writing style or the characters.
Such a good book. I love the epistolary format.

Anna's Archive has basically everything, though it may take a few weeks for new releases to appear there. In that case, a private tracker like iptorrents is going to be where it's at.
Download Calibre on your computer. Once you have the book add it into Calibre.
Connect the Kobo to the computer. Once it connects, drag and drop the files over from the Calibre interface.
That's it!
The other option is using Calibre web instead, but that does take a little configuring. I'd consider my method above a good way "to add to her selection without making it more difficult."
