My August reads.

Cruised through @levacrosen.bsky.social's catalog and started some horror novels, too!

I also read my first nonfiction book of the year, and boy was it depressing.

Book 17 was Nearlywed by Nicolas DiDomizio (narrated by Michael Crouch).

Ray and Kip hate each other. So, naturally, they’re getting married 💍

A bride needs something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. This implies that a groom needs something new, something old, something that's his, and something red, while a non-binary nearlywed needs two things that are sort of medium age, something rented, and something purple

Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It chronicles the "disease" of digital platforms and proposes a cure that might save us.

Enshittification
As neologisms go, “enshittification” is not the most efficient specimen. Unlike, say, “nearlywed” or “broligarch”, it is neither wholly self-defining nor reminiscent of some other word to which it is related in meaning. Clearly the term has struck a chord: both the American Dialect Society and Macquarie Dictionary have bestowed word-of-the-year status on it in recent times. But what, specifically, is going to shit, and what are the processes by which it does so?

Enshittification' was coined by journalist Cory Doctorow, meaning the deterioration of a product or service, particularly digital platforms, to increase profit. His new book is about just how shit things really are.

Nearlywed, by Nicolas DiDomizio

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pure fun. The twisty plot achieves a rare feat for a romance, as we're not sure until the end whether our heroes end up together or go their separate ways. Combines familiar genre conventions in fresh and clever ways.

I took the word "nearlywed" as a euphemism for "bride who backed out at the last minute." Having a personal stake in the emergence of said euphemism, I was quite sad to learn "nearlywed" actually refers to engaged couples at levels of peak insufferability.

being an AFAB nonbinary nearlywed is thorny because I have a hard time knowing where to start looking for wedding inspo, there's a lot of stuff catering to brides specifically that I don't know how to navigate
