The UK has avoided the need for gas imports worth £1.7bn since the start of the Iran war, as a result of record electricity generation from wind and solar. 🔎 This is according to a new analysis by Carbon Brief. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-win... #DonaldTrump #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

I can’t fault the sudden peppering of my timeline with O Brother Where Art Thou gifs, but now I need to rewatch O Brother Where Art Thou

@ewacat.bsky.social I’m sorry, maybe, for the spam, but you need to see these

Today’s #WyrdAndWonder prompt is crescent offering: a short story or novella - so grab an umbrella and come me to explore the Gothic mood of In This City, Where It Rains by Lyndsey Croal

Short and sweet today with a #WyrdAndWonder x #TopTenTuesday cover art prompt: books featuring the moon on the cover

To this day I'm amazed the evil company named after the evil orb from Lord of the Rings used by the ontologically evil traitor wizard Saruman the White is treated like a serious company we should give incredibly sensitive data to.

This Sunday’s #WyrdAndWonder Fantastic Five is focused on lunar deities, and it wasn’t until I sat down to write it that I realised how rare they are on my bookshelf. What books would you recommend featuring moon gods or goddesses?

One of our #WyrdAndWonder prompts this week has been Casts A Long Shadow, an invitation to share our favourite fantasy reads since last May. What have the party been enjoying?

The moon is half full, and our #WyrdAndWonder prompt today has an astrological flavour so I’m tackling the Astrological Book tag. I seem to have leaned into backlist for this one, and now I want to reread everything. Can I tempt you?

Tomorrow’s Wyrd & Wonder prompt invites us to reflect on the fantasy we've enjoyed since last May, and I’m tackling it a day early because I am a chaos goblin. Time for some short reviews of fantasy I’ve read since last #WyrdAndWonder

It’s only corruption when other people do it. Otherwise it’s just having extremely generous friends.

Help a friend pick a moon-themed game to play this month!

Our #WyrdAndWonder daily prompt nods to Star Wars today (because of course it does) and gives us a magnificent crossover opportunity: that’s not a moon!

Last up (for now) is co-host imyril who has five different types of fantastical transformations from faerie glamours to buildings that are transformed by moonlight 🌝 onemore.org/2026/05/03/f...

Fairy and folklore feature in @bookforager.bsky.social’s Fantastic Five, fantasies where songs can transform or where you might find yourself turned into a chair if you put a foot wrong (remember the rules. Be polite) bookforager.wordpress.com/2026/05/03/w...

Tales of change from @pages-n-pro.bsky.social with five stories where the protagonist undergoes unexpected transformation (becoming immortal or the avatar of a god is quite a change!) … or where the reader is changed by the experience 👀 pagesandprocrastination.wordpress.com/2026/05/03/w...

Co-host @adancewithbooks.bsky.social picked five beautiful character arcs (including longtime #WyrdAndWonder favourite Maia the Goblin Emperor) as examples of personal transformations adancewithbooks.wordpress.com/2026/05/03/f...

Sunday is when we share our Fantastic Fives - this week, we’re exploring our #WyrdAndWonder theme of transformation and ignoring the shapeshifting elephant in the room. What will our adventurers choose to focus on instead?

Regular adventurer @sunsoar25.bsky.social has some of our all time favourite fantasies on this year’s TBR - shifters, swashbuckling, Gothic faeries and more wait for their night under the moon never-anyone-else.blogspot.com/2026/05/wyrd...

Zezee has a stack of books, a pile of shows, blogging ambitions and a personal plan to lean into our astrological theme (may the stars be ever aligned in your favour) zezeewithbooks.wordpress.com/2026/04/29/w...

For @pages-n-pro.bsky.social it’s back to her reading roots with a selection of favourite fantasy series including some things that go bump in the night (vampires) and howl at the moon (werewolves) for #WyrdAndWonder pagesandprocrastination.wordpress.com/2026/05/01/w...

It’s the first time Keira has joined the #WyrdAndWonder party, but she’s already added to my TBR with the enticingly named Inn At The Foot Of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen (due out later this year) keirasbookmark.com/2026/05/01/m...

Rachael @greentealibrarian.bsky.social has built a fabulous list of possibilities inspired by our themes and some of our #WyrdAndWonder challenge prompts: thegreentealibrarian.wordpress.com/2026/05/01/w...

It’s Sunday evening and the moon is bright (or Sunday afternoon or Monday morning depending on where you are, please imagine the moon) - let’s meet some of this year’s adventurers and hear about their #WyrdAndWonder plans!

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

It’s our first Fantastic Five of this year’s #WyrdAndWonder and we’re considering the theme of transformations in fantasy fiction…

Not sure I’ve ever clicked so fast - folk horror about mining? My little North Eastern* goblin heart is so in. *lil nod to today’s English regional discourse? Why not.

*100* matches at the Crucible baby

What fantasy will you be reading this month? #WyrdAndWonder

OUT THIS MONTH! DOLLFACE by Lindy Ryan https://geni.us/dollf THE NEEDFIRE by @mkhardywrites.com https://geni.us/needfirePB TERRIBLE WORLDS: DESTINATIONS ( Walking to Aldebaran, One Day All This Will Be Yours and And Put Away Childish Things) by @aptshadow.bsky.social https://geni.us/terrwdest

MerMay is here! I discounted Undine's Blessing on Itch (other stores will be later this month) to 99 cents. While Marella isn't a typical mermaid, she has water magic, speaks with aquatic animals, and has a bond with water no other human has. itch.io/s/182182/mer...

Wyrd and Wonder is here! Check out all the activities you can take part in! Also, can I kindly remind you that I have a challenge just for you? If you ever wanted to wander our halls, then this is your chance! queensbookasylum.com/2026/04/28/a... #WyrdAndWonder #ReadingChallenge

Wyrd and Wonder Welcome to Wyrd and Wonder, our annual celebration of the fantastic. Our brilliant party of genre adventurers will once again spend the month of May sharing our love of all things fantasy as we talk about the books, movies, shows, and games that light up our reading lives. We love…

1 MORE SLEEP #WyrdAndWonder 🌝

This has sparked so much joy. Also I must rewatch Sneakers now.

The challenge bar is well and truly raised for #WyrdAndWonder. Will you enter the Queen’s Asylum (and will you be able to read your way back out?)

2 pieces of news for you on this fine Monday: 1) April newsletter is happening! Might go out on May 1st. For sign up, see my pinned post. 2) For this year's @wyrdandwonder.bsky.social month I'm giving you a special reading challenge. The announcement post will go up tomorrow or Wednesday.

A slowburn space opera with high stakes and a mesmerising universe: I loved The Mercy of Gods by James SA Corey #SpaceOperaSunday

The pure delight shining from John Higgins and Mark Williams faces walking onto the stage at the Crucible is adorable

Today’s #TopTenTuesday theme is April Showers, so I’m using the April Showers book tag prompts to enthuse about 10 books with delightfully soggy elements

Happy Easter! It's snowy but bright here today, but I'm planning springtime shenanigans and looking ahead to #WyrdAndWonder in May. TBRs, Fantastic Fives and prompts are being cooked up, will you join us to celebrate the fantastic?

Thoughtful remarked on a childhood book I’ve been meaning to reread. Garner has a knack for mundane menace interwoven with mythic fantasy: Elidor left me with a lifelong side eye for radio static and flapping letter boxes, even when I have only faint memories of its grander narrative sweep
