Just fancy that! Time Person of the Year. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of Rivers of London, book 1 in the series, by @benaaronovitch.bsky.social; I have this book and love it. Since this is a #UKKindleBookGiveaway, you MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one. Also #speirgorm

With barely enough training to hold a musket, Emily braves the savage reality of warfare. Get Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Guns of the Dawn while supporting @cancerresearchuk.org.

@ighulme.com Guess where we are?

@xbox.com Guys, I've had my account for 17 years and I've never used text or voice chat. Not telling you my birthday.

I haven't read this one yet, but it's on my TBR pile. Free books available from @kithrup.bsky.social again.

Oh look. Xbox says that if I don't register my age (on an account that was created 17 years ago) then I won't be able to use chat and voice communications. How will I cope?

There are still two copies of this avialable: #KindleBookGiveaway #UKKindleBookGIveaway amazon.co.uk/kindle/redee... amazon.co.uk/kindle/redee...

'My year end reading statistics' (originally for @theguardian.com books). p.s There's still time to pick up new book Physics for Cats at good bookshops and online www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2

Why have I never seen The Ambassadors of Death before?

I’ll be releasing our home-made Western PRAIRIE RASCALS on YouTube this coming Monday, 22nd Dec….

@aptshadow.bsky.social a quick heads up. The link to Starseer's Ruin you're including in the Starship Alexandria notes is giving me a 404 error. Not sure if this is because Black Library print runs aren't able to cope with an author of your stature and it's gone, never to be seen again.

I do like this book. It's mainly Star Trek parody, and then the final section sees it blossom into something special. On no account pass over the codas.

Guys, if anyone has not read this, they should. If anyone likes the idea of #UKSFFBookBargains and does not keep an eye on what the noble @kithrup.bsky.social is willing to give you for free, they should. Honestly, I think he's mad, but it's a good kind of mad.

Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of Feet Of Clay by #TerryPratchett, a Discworld novel, and one of my favorites. You MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one! #GNUTerryPratchett #UKKindleBookGiveaway

Ok, I think it's a #UKSFFBookBargains, but I've not yet read it. My wife's copy has transferred to my TBR pile No Friend to This House by @nataliehaynes.bsky.social, just 99p for today only. A retelling of Jason and Medea. Checking the Dramatis Persona I see mammy Olympians, so I say it counts 🧵

#UKSFFBookBargains Micky 7 is huge fun.

Cached UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 5 copies of The Martian by Andy Weir, which I have and have read and have enjoyed a lot. I also really liked the movie; I think it was a very good adaptation. You MUST have an amazon.co.uk account to claim one! #UKKindleBookGiveaway #KindleBookGiveaway

@eightdaysofdiana.bsky.social this offer is one your listeners (Those in the UK and Ireland anyhow) would probably want to have a look at.

Ludluda in audio is one years old! Click on the link for 70% the audio edition. www.audiobooks.co.uk/promotions/p...

Oh boy do we have #UKSFFBookBargains today. Daily deals has ten Diana Wynne Jones ebooks reduced to 99p for one day only. That's the three Howl books plus six Chrestomanci novels and a short fiction collection HT @emilytesh.net Links follow in 🧵

Guy's, I think I've solved the trans toilet problem. If ladies loos just had individual stalls with lockable doors instead of expecting women to go to the loo in the open then no-one would ever know what the person next to them had in the underpants, and only weirdo freaks would be at all bothered.

It would be a real shame if everyone with basic humanity emailed [email protected] and politely pointed out that @robinince.bsky.social was the heart of their show and they should rethink.

#UKSFFBookBargains for sure. The whole Shadows of the Apt sequence plus other stuff by @aptshadow.bsky.social for only £13.63. Probably available outside the UK as well, but that's not my remit.

Just a reminder that when Nightmare Magazine opens to subs again in January, we are VERY EAGER to read your dark creative nonfiction! We're the place to send that creepy list or micro research project about something awful. adamant.moksha.io/publication/...

A new law has just passed that (and I know it's hard to believe) dictates that you have to share the post i've attached. Now look. I was as surprised as you are that they chose this one, but what can I do? I've reposted it myself, just to be on the safe side.

The Murderbot bundle in the link below definitely counts as a #UKSFFBookBundle. £13.69 for all the (superb) Murderbot books and a bunch of fantasy by @marthawells.com. Short window though compared to normal @humblebundle.com deals. Only two days to get it.

I got into @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Ok there are a couple of #UKSFFBookBargains in the Daily Deals, but they look like generic normally £1.99 direct to kindle things reduced to 99p that I can't be bothered with.

Is there #UKSFFBookBargains activity today? I means there has been every other days this month... I guess. Two books, neither of which I have read, neither of which I have any great likelyhood of reading. 🧵mainly for the sake of carrying on the chain.

Poor goosefish has gone viral by someone who thinks he's a wobbegong.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE. LIKE OBVIOUSLY THE STORY IS SHIT, BUT I ALWAYS EXPECT DAILY MAIL TO BE STUPID ABOUT SCIENCE. YOU'RE SHIT AT GRAMMAR AS WELL? FEWER CALLORIES! THE WORD IS FEWER! CALORIES IS A COUNTABLE NOUN, SO YOU SHOULD NOT SAY "LESS CALLORIES," YOU GIBBERING PSEUDOJOURNALIST GOBSHITES!

There are still 3 copies of @benaaronovitch.bsky.social's Rivers of London available! It's been DAYS! *sob* #KindleBookGiveaway #UKKindleBookGiveaway

More #UKSFFBookBargains in the daily deals. More of them! 🧵

Well I guess I am no longer upgrading Calibre

Lookalike: Former Tory Cabinet Minister Vs Man who inadvertently aided an alien invasion. Could they possibly be related? (Apologies to @privateeyenews.bsky.social)

Another day, another bunch of #UKSFFBookBargains showing up. I reckon there must have been a change in who picks the bargain books. 🧵

Deal of the day on Audible is Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social I'm really enjoying it and you might too 😃🤖 www.audible.co.uk/pd/Service-M...

Great book. And yours for the asking. Thanks @kithrup.bsky.social

Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of @benaaronovitch.bsky.social's Rivers of London, the first book in the urban fantasy series, and which I not only have, but have read and enjoyed! You MUST have an amazon.co.uk account to claim these! #UKKindleBookGiveaway

Have Amazon another #UKSFFBookBargains in the daily deals? Surely not, 6 days in a row? Impossible. And yet, The Ferryman looks like it might be SF and his other books are. www.amazon.co.uk/Ferryman-Jus... www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Please accept a free UK book from the the noble @kithrup.bsky.social to encourage him to offer us more free UK books, and to make him happy. It's win-win.

This is a Nero Wolfe pastiche, which I only recognized because of Glenn Cook's Garrett PI books. (Which got me to watch some of the tv movies.) I enjoyed this quite a bit -- I nominated it for a Hugo -- but I'll point out that the sequel, A Drop of Corruption, is *better*.

There is #UKSFFBookBargains action in the Daily Deals again. I don't think there's ever been this long a run. 🧵

@blackbeardstp.bsky.social do you have a timetable for the Crescent? Guessing a 9ish start?

OH MY GOD FINALLY, I CANNOT WAIT

Just a quick note to say this is now price-matched on Kobo. www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Another solid #UKSFFBookBargains day from the Kindle Daily Deals (other deals are available and will be mentioned, but Amazon make them easier to find). 🧵

Duck JKR. Duck anyone buying Hogwarts merch for their kids. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

And yet more #UkSFFBookBargains coming up on the Kindle daily deals. What a world we lived in 🧵
