You like trains? You like Stargate? How about a galactic civilization connected by sentient trains running on railways that travel through Stargates? Seriously, go read Railhead. It's great.

Celebrating a decade of trainsong, Hive Monks, pocket universes hidden in refreshment trolleys, etc. RAILHEAD is ten years old. philipreeveblog.blogspot.com/search?q=Rai... Cover art by @ianmcque.bsky.social

Beautiful Japanese editions of the first two Adventuremice books by me and @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social. Translated by Shino Watatani, published by Tokuma Shoten in Tokyo

Oh my god. I know I talk about it every 10 seconds, but Donut Squad. Those pages at the end made my hands itch for a pencil. @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social has sooooooo many drawing resources on her website tied to all her and her and @philipreeve.bsky.social's books, it's immense fun.

For #TolkienTuesday/#TolkienTrewsday, as a follow up to my piece from last week, here’s “The Gardens of the Merking's palace”, by J.R.R. Tolkien, for his children’s story Roverandom.

My new painting exhibition - Brave New Worlds: A Century of Science Fiction Cinema - opens a week today. If you're in the area, do pop along. And please share with interested (and interesting) friends. Today's poster is the first to feature an actor I've worked with: the glorious David Warner.

[email protected] and I love this show, which is why there’s a character called Scoot McHairy in ‘Mice, Camera, Action!’.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

#SundayMorningBookChat Have to agree with @hfj0108.bsky.social and nominate the #UtterlyDark trilogy by @philipreeve.bsky.social They are beautifully written and deserve far more attention than they’ve received. This was my review of final book: vsviewfromthebookshelves.home.blog/2023/09/04/m...

Just finished the third in the Utterly Dark trilogy by @philipreeve.bsky.social a wonderful tale, and beautifully read by @barnabyedwards.bsky.social Highly recommended 😃

174. Thunder City by @philipreeve.bsky.social Science fiction at its best - a prequel to the Mortal Engines books which can be read as a standalone. Amazingly imaginative world building, superb characterisation, lots of humour and genuine heart. I loved Miss Torpenhow and Oddington Doom so much!

Today! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hello, Edinburgh! (Do join us on Friday for ADVENTUREMICE) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @edbookfest.bsky.social

Why not take a holiday in the world of #MortalEngines this summer? ‘Thunder City’ takes you to floating seaside resorts, deadly amusement arcades, airborne spa towns, Parisian prisons and the floating pubs of Gibraltar. (And you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your sofa or sun lounger.)

Today's review...'Adventuremice: Mice, Camera, Action!' @philipreeve.bsky.social @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social This series just gets better and better! www.throughthebookshelf.com/reviews/adventuremice-mice-camera-action

The wickedly lyrical Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury (thank you @johannamation.bsky.social for the recommendation). Utterly Dark and the Heart of the Wild written by the utterly magnificent @philipreeve.bsky.social and narrated by the utterly superb @barnabyedwards.bsky.social.

Strong Railhead energy on this one @philipreeve.bsky.social

Go Adventuremice! Find out more about the series and how authors @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social & @philipreeve.bsky.social created the books in this #BfK interview booksforkeeps.co.uk/article/adve...

A new strand* to see if we can reflect books people buy. First book sold today (father and child in store as we opened the doors). From @philipreeve.bsky.social & @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social Mice on the Moon. New adventure, Mice, Camera, Action! just published *As and when I remember! #booksky

The new Adventuremice book bursts upon the unexpecting book world today with the energy of a rampaging (but adorable) baby otter. Packed with fantastic full-colour illustrations by the brilliant @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social …

Our book 'Adventuremice: Mice, Camera, Action!' launches tomorrow (13 March)!! We'll sell original watercolour painted illustrations from the book in the Adventuremice online shop from UK 9pm that evening. The best/most affordable pieces go quickly, so set an alert! 🐭🎨 @philipreeve.bsky.social

Delighted to receive the latest Adventuremice book today. We’ve read the first 5 and love them. They’re beautifully illustrated books which are ideal as a bedtime story or as an early reader when your child is developing independence. Phoebe and I even dressed as them yesterday.

Top mouse movie mogul Darryl Z Cheezeburger is trying to get his new epic finished in time for the Cans Film Festival, but it’s all going Horribly Wrong. Can the Adventuremice help? Or will they just get in the way? MICE, CAMERA, ACTION! by me and @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social is out this very week!

#wbd2025 world book day @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social @philipreeve.bsky.social the boy's choice for today! He did tell me which pug he was but I've forgotten. It's definitely not the monkey though 😂 @waterstoneskids.bsky.social @oxfordunipress.bsky.social @blackwells.bsky.social

It’s world book day! Phoebe and I have come dressed as Fledermaus and Ivy from Adventuremice. Have a great one! @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social @philipreeve.bsky.social @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social

If anyone decides to dress up as an Adventuremice character for #WorldBookDay, Philip Reeve and I would LOVE to see your costume! (At its simplest: ears, whiskers, book, and you’re there!) 🐭 @philipreeve.bsky.social

@philipreeve.bsky.social check out the Skarper egg my daughter has made for world book day (we both love your goblins trilogy)

Blessings from Saint Bunnyface 🕯️

My youngest is really enjoying the Adventure Mice series by @philipreeve.bsky.social @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social A beautifully illustrated first chapter book, perfectly pitched to be exciting and entertaining without so much peril it becomes scary. @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social #KidLitUK

Listening to @philipreeve.bsky.social’s Thunder City and very happily getting swept up into the WOME again. Reading Ali Smith’s Winter which, like her other season books, is odd but satisfying.

Looking forward to this! My 5yo absolutely loves these books. Such beautiful illustrations and the stories are super wholesome with just the right level of peril and adventure! 💙📚

Loving the Alien! Iggy! Reggae! Marimbas! That infamous Beach Boys cover! I was delighted to join @albumtoalbum.bsky.social on a deep dive into the azure waters of one of David Bowie's least loved albums. I think we scraped off a few barnacles and surfaced with some genuine pearls. Here's part one.

From today’s walk on Dartmoor, near Peter Tavy 💚

Peeling masking tape off the edges of a watercolour illustration for ‘Adventuremice: The Ghostly Galleon’. It feels very satisfying to watch the clean edges emerge! #Adventuremice 🐭

No MA coursework for a couple of weeks, so I’m back to decorating the house, which means lots of audiobooks while I paint. Today, just as the Gorm devours the land, I am devouring Utterly Dark by @philipreeve.bsky.social. It’s a delight to listen to @barnabyedwards.bsky.social tell me a story again.

Such a great theme for a #BookChat Tom Love your choices. I’d add these series: #UtterlyDark by @philipreeve.bsky.social #MurderMostUnladylike by @redbreastedbird.bsky.social #RubyRedfort by #LaurenChild #PagesAndCo by @acaseforbooks.bsky.social
