It's the last ten days of 2025! In 2026, I will 1. Continue to support Palestine, Sudan, Congo, and Ukraine 2. Continue to support the LGBTQIA+ community 3. Do my best to upset those who don't like points 1 and 2 I'd also like to get my box/middle splits but let's be realistic here.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

@zbsteele.bsky.social will have many interviews in his author career but this will obviously be his favourite forever

A...another???

Just for absolute clarity, the government’s proscription of Palestine Action is a self-evident farce, deeply unethical and morally bankrupt. It is an unforgivable waste of time and resources, and makes them look both deeply unserious and as ideologically compromised as they clearly are.

What a great headline

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I know money is a struggle for everyone but if you have even a few £/$/other currency to help Luke and Catcher, it would mean the world to them. Sharing is also wonderfully helpful. 🙏

I'm so sad Micah's story is finished! But I loved it so much ♥️

Today is Shadowplay's UK launch date. Significantly revised, this sequel to Pantomime takes to the magician's stage. The Micah Grey trilogy stars a n0nb1nary, 1nters3x lead. It's a whimsical gaslamp fantasy with the undercurrent of danger. hodderscape.co.uk/products/sha...

I finished Lord of Ruin after being rude delayed by everything in my life. And @kmenright.bsky.social, please know my entire experience with Shan can be summed up with this gif:

This is so exciting. Also, how tf is it 20 years?!

this should be the question asked at every Democrat press appearance. "what are you personally taking away from the unambiguous success of Mamdani's campaign and the clear fact that his ideas are record-breakingly popular, in terms of how to attract and keep your own voters"

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." SAY. THAT. SHIT!

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

It's the start of #batappreciationweek! You should appreciate bats all the time IMO. Anyway, here's my favourite bat: Honduran White Bat. Yes, they are very small and can fit in your hand. No, you should not have them in your hands or as pets.

Throws PokeBall: GO, YEONGNO! I CHOOSE YOU for this timeline. Go on, got. Get on up to heaven lil guy

"'sup?"

Fun fact: Thanks to this visit, L is now stuck with me in their life!

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

This cover and the blurb look amazing! You can get it in PB or ebook on the amazing pay what you want system. No doubt this is worth way more than $5.99 and I am excited to find out!

A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings

If they don't like you for being yourself, they're not going to like you for being someone else either.

I'm sure @annasmithspark.bsky.social will agree that this sheep was a particular highlight of @butserancientfarm.co.uk's Book Fest.

Everything about this book was phenomenal. @nataliehaynes.bsky.social is absolutely unmatched!!

This was really such a wonderful read.

I love book spaces and book celebration spaces. Also nothing makes me more happy that I have zero aspirations to be an author than being in book spaces and book celebration spaces and hearing author's share their 'I've rejoined the world after editing' stories.

The e-book for Children of Gods and Fighting Men is £1.79 atm on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Children-God...

Can I get a good signal boost on this? And I also just learned that book one is also on an apple books sale (havent' been able to check myself cuz i dont use/have ibooks???) The First Binding on ibooks (US only??) But this is for book two in the UK.

These two excellent books are finally out in the wider world! They are absolutely gorgeous reads and will suck up an molecule of serotonin left hiding in your body. You will never know peace again. And you will say thank you for the experience 😂

The author? A gem. The series? A banger. The cover? Both of the above. THE CELESTIAL TEARS OF DYING LIGHT is @joshuawalkerau.sffinsiders.com's final novella in The Song of the Sleepers series. And you can get your grabby hands on it from 25 November!

I cannot thank Adrian from @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social enough for the ARC. And I am so sorry for the rabid word vomit it brought out in me.

Gutted to miss this because you just know it's gonna be a fucking 🔥🔥🔥 panel. I gotta move to London...

Little boop from Rya

Pantomime is stunning And I've just started Dragonfall which has me absolutely captivated already ❤ Absolutely pick up L's books the moment you can!

I have the most unhinged review dropping for this on Monday but the gist is everyone everywhere should read The Scour by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. And that you can get an excerpt now? *chef's kiss*

One day I will not agree to so many books in my to-do list. This is not that day. This is not even in the same decade as that day.

Genuinely one of my favourite ongoing series and @lyonspen.bsky.social is 1000000000% one of my most favourite people. ❤❤

[Exercise programme name] at home is not 'basic equipment' if it requires a bench for step-ups. "But you can modify to use what you have." A dodgy coffee table? ------- Find out later if I'm posting from A&E!

Anyone else check their phone constantly in the hopes it makes a reply come through faster? I'm desperately waiting to find out if I have Mandarin class tonight or if I can do a 45 min work out instead of a 30 min one.

It's really disgusting the kind of shit people have said to Ronnie and other authors. Just read their books and say nice things. If you don't like the books, just go do something else with your energy.

this is great for two reasons 1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly 2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

I am a bit over halfway through Lord of Ruin by @kmenright.bsky.social and I fear for the future version of me that has finished this book. My girl Shan is setting up to make some bad decisions, instead of being the centre of a loving manwich.
