News

Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. It was another really good week in the territory. @denlillaapan graciously allowed a few others to share the limelight. We have a few new additions to our Book Reviews in the Index, as well as a few of @deluluwithjuju_ 's posts in the Blog section.

I hope you all have a good week.

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

I choose the top 5 posts each week based on sats, engagement, and overall quality. 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.
