International media and scientific organisations are lapping up footage of a real life ‘Sharktopus’ filmed in the Hauraki Gulf.

Marine biologist Professor Rochelle Constantine said the encounter in December 2023 was a tale to top them all.

    There seem to be way more options for Bookwyrm than last time I looked! but no NZ one.

    Sci fi is among the genres I like and I have discoverability issues so would definitely be up for reading your list even if it is all 5 stars ha ha.

    Libgen etc is like that one Chumbawama song but you definitely wouldn’t want to do it in NZ jurisdiction. Things seem to be heating up with the society of authors getting all up in arms, and a disproportionate number of those guys are lawyers. Not sure what it is about being a lawyer that makes people write novels.

      Ok I created a Bookwyrm account and did an import, I need to fix some of the dates and matches but seems mostly right. I’m not sure how to share it, but my profile is: eagleeyedtiger@bookwyrm.social

      If you decide to create an account, let me know and I’ll follow you!

            Thanks!!!

            I feel like this is going to help motivate me to read new books instead of lazily re-reading stuff that’s already on my kindle.

              No worries!

              I’m always on the look out for recommendations too, I usually download them into Calibre to wait for me to get around to reading them.

                So do I. Hmm that’s a good point, I should check if I have any unread recs in there.
