So I have the German hardcover edition and I think I'm in love with it. Out of curiosity to see what was hiding behind the yellow dustjacket, I took it off and got pleasantly surprised. The background is simply black, but it has gold lettering with the title of the book that June steals, or well I think it is that book, haven't started reading yet. And below the title is Athena Liu's name crossed out and then Juniper Song added beneath that. This is awesome! The spine also has the book title of the fictional book (in German: Die letzte Front) and the name Athena Liu, but no Juniper Song.

Is the English edition the same? Because I searched for it shortly and couldn't find anything but the yellow cover. Maybe I would have found out with a little more patience xD

What’s your niche interest? And what book would you recommend for people to learn more about it?

I’m sure most people have one, so I’m curious!

(For the sake of clarity, I mean a specific sub-genre of a more general subject. Instead of ‘geography’ (too general), maybe something like coastal erosion or tectonic plates.)

For example, my current niche interest is radium and the use of it as a ‘cure all’ in the early twentieth century. I’ve read Radium Girls by Kate Moore and its grimly fascinating: how much money was tied up in making people believe in the wonders of radium, how many people suffered and died as a consequence of that misinformation, and how radium made its way into the most everyday of items like toothpaste and energy drinks! If you have any recommendations for more books on radium, I’d love to see them.

I just had the insanely jarring realization that honeymoons are a thing and I completely forgot about them when I set my username. I’ve always used “ golden moon” something as gaming usernames and just thought honey moon was a cute variation 🫠

This made me start wondering if I was similarly misreading anyone else’s usernames and what some of them meant. So while I think of a new username, I wanted to ask everyone what’s the story behind your username? 👀

Edit: The rebrand has been done 😌
