This is disappointing. First Between the Covers, and now The Big Scottish Book Club. It was great having shows where authors showcased their work and readers shared their passion for books. Are there any other shows like that out there? #booksky #amreading #books #bookcommunity #bbc

Dark Crescent, by Lyndsey Croal, is the latest book I’ve read by a Scottish author. It’s a fantastic collection based on folklore. I recommend you check it out. ❓Tell me what your favourite folktale, or mythological creature is❓ #amreading #booksky #scotland #folklore #mythology

Finally watched the BBC adaptation of Lord of the Flies. The young cast were great, but it was held back by some strange sound design and cinematography choices, which were reminiscent to 80’s apocalyptic drama, Threads. They just seemed out of place. #booksky #bookcommunity #bbc #lordoftheflies

Put reading on hold due to the birth of my daughter, but we’ve found our feet after a hectic few weeks, and I finished The Eye of the World. What a great start to the series. Love how welcoming the WOT community is to new readers. Such a friendly and passionate bunch. #WOT #WOTSkies #booksky

Can anyone recommend a good Wheel of Time podcast? Bonus points if they discuss a book per episode. #WoT #WoTSkies #booksky

So, a Lord of the Flies mini-series just dropped? How did I not know about this? Will need to give it a watch. #booksky #amreading #bookcommunity #lordoftheflies #lotf

After putting it off for years, I’m finally starting my Wheel of Time journey. Just picked up The Eye of the World. Enjoying what I’ve read so far. Who’s read it? What do you think? #booksky #amreading #bookcommunity #fantasy #thewheeloftime

I’ve been on a bit of a Scots reading binge recently. It’s been fantastic. This country has produced so many talented authors. The Young Team by Graeme Armstrong has been a particular highlight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #booksky #scotland #books #bookcommunity #amreading

One for my writer friends out there. As long as the chapter works, to hell with the length. ❓QOTD: What is one piece of advice you wish you knew before you started writing?❓ #️⃣ #quote #story #book #literature #writerslife #spilledink #writingtips #fantasy #writing #writer #amwriting #wip #️⃣

New Murderbot interview! collider.com/murderbot-fi...

What do you think of the cover for @mattdinniman new standalone novel? #mattdinniman #dungeonecrawlercarl #operationbouncehouse #amreading #bookcommunity #booksky

Just read The Answer Is No by Fredrick Backman. Loved the humour, and just how farcical it got. Only a short story, so not a big time commitment, and it was free on Amazon prime, so I’d recommend giving it a go. #booksky #bookcommunity #amreading

What did you think of Murderbot? And will you be tuning in to season 2? I’ve only read the first book, but I really enjoyed the series. Love the murderbot character, but hope they flesh out the side characters a little more. #murderbot #apple #marthawells

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

The only thing sadder than an unread book, is an unwritten one. So, get typing… #writerslife #amwriting #writestuff #spilledink #writing #fantasy #wip #writersky

Time look back at the first half of the year, and what better way than a book bracket! So, I’m taking the book I’ve enjoyed most each month and pitting them against each other. NOTE: Only one entry per series. What’s your favourite book of the year? #bookish #amreading #bookcommunity

Does anyone think movie trailers give too much away these days? They really need to cut them down. Oh, and bring back the 80’s trailer voiceover guy #movies

Next up is Royal Assassin, as I continue poor Fitz journey. What have you been reading this weekend? #booksky #bookish #books #library #booktok #reading #bookworm #review #bookreview #bibliophile #booknerd #bookcommunity #literature #amreading #farseer

I’ve started all of these series, and enjoying them so far. Next up for me is Iron Gold in the Red Rising series. Hopefully I’ll get around to finishing them in months ahead What are some of the book that you’re looking forward to in the remainder of the year? #tbr #booksky #stormlightarchive

Don't walk. Run. 🏃 The #RunningManMovie Official Trailer drops tomorrow.

Is anyone looking forward to the Project Hail Mary movie? I know I am. #movies #booksky

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this one, but I ended up enjoying it. Have you read James by Percival Everett yet? What did you think about it? #bookish #books #library #reading #bookworm #review #bookreview #bibliophile #booknerd #bookcommunity #literature #amreading #booksky

For you what’s the most difficult part of writing? I’d say it’s fighting the constant compulsion to edit, or actually finding the time to write. #writerslife #amwriting #fantasy #wip #writingtips

Had a major revelation earlier, which will considerably change the back half of the book. It should strengthen the antagonist’s and protagonist’s character arc. My only worry now is the word count, but that’s the next drafts problem.

I didn’t write too much tonight, but I worked out a few sections. Happy with the progress. #writerslife #amwriting #fantasy #wip #thebardandthebanshee

Far too hot for us Scots today. Got into the car and it was 33 degrees. Went for a haircut and there were 4 highland cows ahead of me in the queue. #scotland #weather #summer

Making my way through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Next stop, The Butcher’s Masquerade. Have you read the series? Who’s your favourite character? #booksky #audiobooks

Well, despite a migraine, I was still able to add 900 words to my wip today, so I’ll take that as a win. #writerslife #amwriting #fantasy #wip

The short stories @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social are putting out are fantastic. I highly recommend you check them out youtu.be/2mWa9bz4f-4?si… #grimdarkr#fantasys#amreadingn#bookskyky

I’ve now written 50 pages of my first draft. A small milestone, but it’s nice to see some progress. #writerslife #amwriting #fantasy #wip

The prophecy foretells of a chosen one, who shall vanquish the TBR pile, before adding new books. Their coming will herald a new literary dawn in the age of readers. I have neither the strength nor the courage to be such a hero. Do you? what say you? Who has slain the dreaded TBR pile? #booksky

Not a lot of writing done tonight. Spent most of my time organising notes. What a mess they were in. Shame on you Andrew! #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting

📖 James ✍️ Percival Everett Have you read James? What did you make of it? ##bookish #books #bookcommunity #james #pervicaleverett #pulizerprize

Just finished Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. Can’t wait to jump into Assassin’s Quest. Have you read the Farseer Trilogy? What did you make of it? #bookcommunity #booksky

I’m a planner, but when I write it often descends into chaos. It’s like playing a stealth videogame. Sneaking around undetected. You turn around to find an army platoon having breakfast, and all hell lets loose. Before you know it you’re hiding in a cardboard box with a sieve and a rubber chicken.

📖 The Morrigan ✍️ Kim Curran This is the story of the Morrigan, one of Celtic mythology’s most prominent figures. As a writer, working on a Celtic inspired novel, I enjoyed a fresh take on the Morrigan’s story. If you’re fan of Song of Achilles, or Circe you should pick up this book
