You and me both, Kazuo, you and me both 💙📚

How much dignity do you have? A question we strive to answer in the latest episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast! linktr.ee/stetpodcasts Best selling author Nicholas Binge tells us all about psychological realism in The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro 💙📚 #podcast #writingcommunity

Repost reminder! Really looking for peoples theories on the end of Extremity by Nicholas Binge!

To your diaries folks. Make your commutes/runs/downtime that little bit more fun and interesting :^ )

🚨Calling all fans of Sci-fi and headcannon🚨 Have you read Extremity by Nicholas Binge? We will be talking about the ending and we want to hear YOUR theories as to what it means or might imply! Share your theories below so i can present them to him on the show @bingewriting.bsky.social 💙📚

Only a Brit could write a romance novel completely devoid of affection! I guess it goes part and parcel with the ‘ol’ stiff upper lip wot wot?’ Attitude that a gentleman should not show any affection I also can’t imagine the adaptation of Remains of the day could possibly catch the subtelties 💙📚

It’s recording day! So far we have read sci-fi, horror, thrillers, and fantasy and yet Remains of the Day is the novel that has baffled me the most. I cannot wait to hear what @bingewriting.bsky.social has to say about it because it feels illegal to tell so little plot with so many words! 💙📚

Not normally one for reposting this type of material but I had to just for hilarious comment section! And we do read Xenos for the pod so it’s kind of linked :^ )

Ooohoooo I don’t even need to make my own posts anymore! We talk narrative twists, Nick’s arch rivalry with @yumewrites.bsky.social , allegories, and we have the first annual HUGOs AWARDS (not the Hugo Awards - you must pronounce the S)

Well well well what a wonderful early Christmas present from @sunyidean.com Perfect for the winter break! 💙📚

I really struggled with The Fifth Season by N.k. Jemisin. Today is recording day of the #podcast and I am reaaaally looking forward to hearing what Nicholas Binge has to say to help me understand it better. I do quite enjoy the idea that sequels may involve an MC Majora’s Mask-ing the world! 💙📚

Just us or has this episode of Love, Death and Robots become an absolute Christmas classic in your household too?

For some reason my book club decided to read my arch rival @bingewriting.bsky.social new book DISSOLUTION this month and unfortunately I’m really enjoying it.

Currently reading The 5th Season by N.K. Jemisin but there is something I’m struggling with. 1/3 of the story is written in 2nd person - essentially placing you, the reader, in the story which I find really hard to digest and engage with. Any tips on how to approach this type of reading? 💙📚 💬💙

Word of the day: Bibliosmia - a love of the odour of books. Invented word of the day: Tabliosmia - the smell that emanates from a tablet or e-reader after your stinky nephew gets his mucky paws on it and smears jam and marmite on it cause he was having toast while using it. 💙📚

A fun daily pleasure: Coming across a narrow protrusion you can walk and balance on when you’re out and about. A low wall or a raised sidewalk divider will do nicely. I think about this a lot and always try to balance on them for their entire length

If you are reading this, congratulations, you are safe from Krampus’ grip… Keep celebrations weird! Struhlepeter for Christmas, druids for the Solstices, real witches for Halloween. What’s your favorite weird holiday book, ritual, tradition, story (not only winter holidays)? 💙📚

Interesting insights from our fellow podcast from the STET Network @stetpodcasts.bsky.social Time to adjust course in the style you are writing to try and hit it big? Well that’s where we could help you :^ ) *shameless plug disengaged*

Well looky here! This months book is on offer! So if you’re reading along from the USA then this is perfect!

Past guessed Sunyi dean with the cover reveal of her next novel. Seems a bit unfair that she can taunt us with the novel when it doesn’t come out until May next year because the premise sounds amazing! Congrats! 💙📚

I don’t normally post memes but Tolkien understood that logistics trumps all. And as someone who worked with the Global Logistics Cluster and loves reading, this is sooo spot on hahahah 📚💙

The challenge for Nick was to pick a book where no one dies! This is our first Romance novel and it was great fun! Made me laugh out loud several times and was very fun to read. Join us Thursday where we breakdown what made this novel tick

One of the benefits of living in a francophone region is you get cool comic exhibits not purely limited to Manga or American stylings (not hating, just stating) Looking forward to attending the Töpffer Prize in a few weeks #prixtopffer 💙📚 #comic #comicbooks

Peekaboo @bingewriting.bsky.social it arrived. Finally time to find out whether I am learning the craft of writing from a good writer or not. 💙📚

Just a quick reminder, I have been curating a playlist of music to read to. Lots of ambience and textures to help you focus: open.spotify.com/playlist/4nG... 💙📚

This actually sounds mega fun! Going to give it a go :^ )

Currently reading a contemporary romance novel but I’m not sure I will ever become accustomed to written description of the human body in sensual way and I don’t know why. How does the book sky gang feel about it? Am I just insecure 😔 💬📚

Books that pass the ‘5 laugh test’? Aaaand GO! (A book that made you laugh out loud at least 5 times) 💙📚💬 #writer #writingcounity

Je me suis aperçu que les choses qui ne sont pas notées se perdent à jamais. L’écriture garde la trace de ce qui était fragile, passant, et si vital. En cela, elle permet de maintenir le vol même de la vie. Christian Bobin #ChristianBobin #booksky #poet #poetry

It’s an absolute honour to be joining such a cool and creative network! Cannot wait for future collaborations and growing together! This is the place to be if you want to learn more about the craft of writing!

Any fans of the Page One Podcast who also listen to us? Well we might have some pretty huge news coming soon :^ ) @ukpageone.bsky.social #booksky #books #writingcomunity #podcast

Is it cheating, or can you say you read a book when you actually listened to the audiobook? 💙📚💬

I was given three choices of book for the next episode. The challenge for @bingewriting.bsky.social - a book where no one dies. Behind Frenemy Lines by Zen Cho @zenaldehyde.bsky.social When he told me the title I instantly knew it was this one! Cannot wait to get my teeth into it! 💙📚 #books

Wait #Warhammer 40k books are good?! In this episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast we talk: 🌀 Genre blending and how to get the best out of mixing styles 🌳 Xenobiology 🤦‍♂️ Boy literature and the problem with lacking lady energy 🥂 and we build on the lore of the lithe waiter 💙📚 #books

Release day for the next episode of the Binge Reading Bookclub Podcast. For those not familiar: Each month, @bingewriting.bsky.social picks a book that shines in one key aspect of writing, and we figure out what makes it work and continue our mission to write the greatest novel ever written. 💙📚

Ok we need to talk about Heelys as I have an important question. Yay or Nay on an MC in a fairly serious story wearing them consistently throughout a novel? 💙📚 #writingcomunity

I have discovered why this book was sold by its former owner -Stewart’s Melville College library in Edinburgh ‘Good condition’ my arse. But in all fairness it doesn’t bother me, I quite like it tbh. Gives the book character. If anyone knows what it says on page 121 lines 19-22 of Xenos thenLMK 💙📚

Another thing an e-reader can never emulate! I love buying a second hand book and finding the library tag in the front. In an odd way it makes you feel connected to the many readers of this same copy before you. So thank you Stewart’s Melville College Library! 💙📚 #circulareconomy #books #library
