I thought I'd update my #introduction here.
I'm a Brazilian who fell in love with winter living in Canada. I'm reading #books all the time (#scifi and #fantasy) and I love #hiking, #running, #yoga, #writing, #heavymetal music, #science, #journaling, #tea and lots of quiet time. I have a background in Engineering and I work with spreadsheets and construction drawings as an estimator.

I want to practice my French language skills, dos anybody recommend cool French modern sci-fi / fantasy books or authors? //

Je veux pratiquer mon français, est-ce que vous avez recommandation des livres ou des auteurs français de science-fiction / fantastique modernes? Merci :)

Taking advantage of the nice weather for early evening bike rides. Not too hot, still got sun at 8pm. Enjoying everything I can before winter comes. #bike #biking #outdoors #summer

Because I'm having entirely too much fun reading "The Affair of the Mysterious Letter", I thought I would re-read all the original Sherlock Holmes books again.

Now, what is the best reading order for the novels and short stories collections? by publication date? by plot chronological order? Does anyone have a recommendation?

I just love the Nirvana app for #GTD (simple and elegant) https://noisydeadlines.net/gtd-journey-there-and-back-again-with-nirvana

On giving up on books. It's never a light decision for me, but I think now I have a better idea of when and why to abandon a book. #books #reading https://noisydeadlines.net/on-giving-up-on-books

Went to see the tulips today and rode 38km with my #bike. I can already feel sore muscles that will scream at me tomorrow.
It was the perfect day to be moving outside, 17C and kinda cloudy.

Great podcast talking about democracy and civil war. I had no idea that after 2010 the number of anocracies has been on the rise, roughly coincinding with popularization of social media and Facebook's algorithm to bump posts with the most Likes to the top of the feed. #socialmedia #podcast #anocracy

I wrote about moving from Goodreads/Storygprah to #Bookwyrm :) https://noisydeadlines.net/moving-my-book-tracking-to-bookwyrm #books #reading

#app #recommendation #plants #birds What are good apps I could use to identify plants and birds with a mobile phone? Are there open source/ethical/privacy friendly options out there?
I moved to a new neighborhood and there so many different plants/birds I'm not familiar with. Thanks!

I've been wanting to write about my experience switching from Goodreads/The Storygraph to #BookWyrm but I'm studying for a professional exam that's been eating up all of my free time.
Gladly the exam is 2 days from now, so it will be be over soon, and then I can write a bit!
