This Week's Issue
NewsNews
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly.
The excitement from August Fiction Month has died down, but we still had a very good week in the territory. @denlillaapan gave us his review of a Hanke book which was brilliantly brutal, and we also received other book reviews, some fiction, and a few poems. @SimpleStacker’s review and short stories from @GreaterthanFiction and @TheFictionFactory were among the top five posts.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.
There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Saturday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly around 9:00am every Saturday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

I always enjoy @cryotosensei book reviews, and this one was no exception.
I wouldn’t want to be one of those guys who provided @bitcoingraffiti the inspiration for this one.

@siggy47 Gosh. They are so plentiful in summer. Basically that's become the Amsterdam vibe now, a yuppie dystopia.
Anyway. Thanks for recommending me.
I've been kinda out of the loop with reading lately, but @SimpleStacker review for Klara and the Sun made me want to get back into it. I might even start with that one. Congrats to this week's winners.
Amazing summary Siggy! Keeping the momentum strong in this territory. Lots more short stories planned, which always helps to know it’s reaching more people here.
Thanks! I'm very happy to hear you have mores stories on the way.
Honored. Humbled. Thanks!
What a great content to read. Amazing!!
