News

Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. It was another light week judged by zapping and engagement, but there was plenty of good content. Two of @cryotosensei’s reviews made it into the top 5 this week, which I believe is a first. @ek gave us a little tease of what we missed during Fiction Month because he was so damn busy immersed in Stacker News code, and @TheFictionFactory gave us a new chapter in “[Atom]”. Siggy’s Suggestions is a little lengthy because so many good posts seem to have not gotten much attention. Please check them out.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:

1. 1000 sats
2. 250 sats
3. 250 sats
4. 250 sats
5. 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.
