Work has been mad busy, so my blog is a barren wasteland again.

Popping my head over the social media parapet to say how happy I am that @bookshop.org is selling ebooks in the UK at last! Adding the app to my Boox pronto.

Clowns being extra creepy today. Just standing there, watching. #TwoPointMuseum #gaming

I guess it's fine. No one DMs me anyway.

So stupid age verification thing is flagged as a suspicious payment so I can't verify myself. Brilliant.

Hoping work quietens down soon so I can get back to book stuff.

Urgh, why can't the "trespass and welfare officers" stop people smoking at the station? The only thing they do is yell at you if you get too close to the yellow line.

Yay! @canongate.co.uk are publishing Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore in the UK. I had given up hope of it reaching here.

There are flying ants streaming out of a hole in the platform. It's a bit apocalyptic.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 no longer using generative AI for scientist portraits 👍 www.gamewatcher.com/news/jurassi...

Station has ominous "do not travel" alert on all the boards but trains seem to still be running so 🤷‍♀️

Today, I'm joining the #blogtour for @willcarver.bsky.social's #KillThemWithKindness, the new pandemic fuelled novel from @orendabooks.bsky.social. Very, very dark and also very, very entertaining. Thanks @annerandomthings.bsky.social for including me! bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/2025/06/blog...

Oh my, this cover is adorable. I need to hurry up and start this series so I have an excuse to buy a copy.

Maybe data centres can start using sewerage to cool servers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today’s my book birthday! Chess Illustrated is out today, published by Amber Books. I grew up playing chess for my school and county, so writing this more than three decades on meant a lot to me.

Here she is 😻 ! First copies of my first ever authored book 📚 Pre-order: linktr.ee/hamzajahanzeb

The Alzheimer's Society has some lovely Forget Me Not items for sale in their shop shop.alzheimers.org.uk/collections/...

Just saw the Jurassic World Evolution 3 game news, and now it looks like it'll be PC/PZ style building, I'm excited!

The sci-fi theme didn't really fit my other, bookish park, so I started a ridiculous sci-fi planet build, and I'm having loads of fun with it. #PlanetCoaster2 #gaming

Noooooo my personal laptop has sneakily updated to Win11 without my permission and I now have the stupid start menu that requires 3 times as many clicks to get to stuff. It's also installed a linkedin app. Wtf.

Attempting to dislodge my reading slump by spending all my Waterstones points on T. Kingfisher books.

First commuting day of nationalised South Western Railway and there's no trains. Brilliant.

Sorry, The Ashfire King, I just didn't love you as much as The Stardust Thief. www.curiositykilledthebookworm.net/2025/05/the-...

A Great Dane might steal the spotlight!

The final chapter to Vita Nostra is coming soon. We're pleased to present an excerpt from School of Shards by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, translated by Julia Meitov Hersey! reactormag.com/excerpts-sch...

I have been in such a reading/blogging/everything slump of late.

Omg made the mistake of asking a question on a games forum while being female.

Got next week off so instead of running out the door at 5, I stayed to send update emails...and the next train home now has broken doors. Where's my good karma?!

Finding uses for all those random coaster scenery parts. Weird stuff in cases is starting to take shape! No, I haven't built a coaster yet... #PlanetCoaster2

BOOK REVIEW | WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE | JOHN SCALZI Morning Bluesky! Today’s review is the latest book by John Scalzi, When The Moon Hits Your Eye. www.fantasybooknerd.com/2025/04/book...

Tagi3d's #PlanetCoaster2 builds are insane. An aquarium, with sharks! In a theme park game. I hope Frontier is taking notes for a Planet Zoo sequel. youtu.be/mydBOO3RBP0?...

My first attempt at the taxidermy for the Wonder Museum is pure nightmare fuel 🤣 The giant otter looks more like a poo with teeth and claws! Not sure if the smaller animals will be possible with the current scenery pieces, but I felt the otter was important to have. #PlanetCoaster2

News! Wee Free Men, Thief of Time and Monstrous Regiment are being adapted into graphic novels with Transworld and Puffin. I’m word wrangling on WFM, and Gary Chudleigh and Rachel Stott are adapting ToT. Exciting times! www.thebookseller.com/rights/terry...

I have spent far too long fiddling with this game. Bonus points for anyone who knows what book my WIP #PlanetCoaster2 log flume is based on.

Some old stones… March check-in #booksky www.curiositykilledthebookworm.net/2025/04/some...

UK #booksky peeps, do check out #buyastrangerabook day, run by @biggreenbooks.bsky.social it's a genuine nice thing people do. I know, it's rare on the internet these days.

It's #buyastrangerabook day and @norfolkbookworm.bsky.social sent me a tenner to buy someone a book with. That was kind, wasn't it? So, if there's a book you'd like, just let us know what it is. UK only

For my birthday I was bought a cyanotype kit - not a form of printing/photography I’ve tried before. I was also given a book token…can anyone recommend a good book to teach me how to get the most out of the kit please? 💙📚 #BookSky #photography 📷

35 new book releases on my radar for April 💙📚 www.curiositykilledthebookworm.net/2025/03/on-m...

Trying to use my laptop on my actual lap but Scully has fallen asleep with her ear over the shift and ctrl keys. Every time I move it, she twitches and back it goes.
