I’m super into making things and trying to be more sustainable. I love animals and don’t eat them. Working in the tech industry currently, but in the public sector so that I can still sleep well at night. I try to be a more positive force in a turbulent world without slipping into being toxic.

Cake day: April 1st, 2026

I’ve recently added a list to my website that has links to book sellers that aren’t Amazon or other large conglomerates, and I thought it might be appreciated here. This includes both eBooks (most DRM-free), and physical ones as well.

I found most of these by coming across books I wanted (usually via the fediverse or LibraryThing), and searching up the author’s website. Usually they’ll have the ubiquitous Amazon & Kobo links, but sometimes they also link to the publisher directly, who often have their own shops as well. Basically I do a lot of link hopping until I come across small indie places that are much nicer to buy from.

If you have any favorites that I haven’t included here, please let me know! I’d love to add more.

UPDATE: Thank you all for the additional recommendations! I’ve added them to the page along with summaries of what they offer.

Is there currently a Solarpunk community for booklovers/Solarpunk reading recommendations, etc? I came to think of it when I was going to ask around if anyone was still using book swapping sites like BookMooch and Paperback Swap, but it would be a nice place for other book discussions, too. I did use search on the communities page, and it didn’t turn up exactly what I was looking for, but there’s always the possibility that I was using the wrong search terms.
