Dear Reader
Dear Reader | Paul Fournel
7 posts | 1 read | 8 to read
There's a lot of good to be said about publishing, mainly about the food. The books, though - Robert Dubois feels as if he's read the books, but still they keep coming back to him, the same old books just by new authors. Maybe he's ready to settle into the end of his career, like it's a tipsy afternoon after a working lunch. But then he is confronted with a gift: a piece of technology, a gizmo, a reader... Dear Reader takes a wry, affectionate look at the world of publishing, books and authors, and is a very funny, moving story about the passing of the old and the excitement of the new. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I don‘t know if anyone has subscribed to Apple Arcade, but if you like playing games and haven‘t checked it out yet, you should! I just discovered this game last night.

You basically read a book and choose the correct words and phrases in the right order. The first book you start with is Pride and Prejudice and as you proceed it gives you more book choices!

It‘s like a grammar sticklers dream game! 😂

A really fun and surprisingly poignant story about the world of books and publishing. It's full of affection and wry humour and perfectly captures the loyalty to print alongside the growth of digital media and the exciting potential of new formats. Lovely stuff from M. Fournel and Pushkin Press

shawnmooney I second that emotion! Can I ask which app you use? I don't recognize that template as being from Vanillapen. 8y
Susannah @shawnmooney it's Vanillapen. Shortly after I tried it out, I got an in-app ad for a discount on the paid app, so I bought it. 😊 8y

A little present for myself... Pushkin Press editions are so pretty in their simplicity. Can't wait to start reading.
